Jinzhou destroyed a 19-member evil gang that intercepted trucks for extortion on the national highway.

  □ Our reporter Han Yu

  The salesman was stabbed and blackmailed when he was on a business trip abroad. The police followed the trail, and a 19-member evil gang that intercepted large trucks on the national highway for extortion surfaced. Recently, the police in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province successfully destroyed this evil gang, and all 19 suspects were arrested. Jinzhou police recently introduced the detection process of the case to the reporter of Legal Daily.

  Importance of "Fairy Jump" Line Index

  On April 28, the 110 Command Center of Jinzhou Public Security Bureau received a report from Chen that on April 13, he was blackmailed by four men and four women in Room 314 of a hotel in Linghai City, Jinzhou. After seeing that he was a "fairy jump" routine, he failed to meet their requirements and was stabbed by one of them with a knife.

  According to the police investigating the case, "Fairy Jumping" refers to a kind of behavior that uses the psychology of hooking up to design a trap for people, deceiving money or even extorting money. The recruiter usually stays calm with the psychology of breaking money and eliminating disasters.

  The police in Jinzhou City attached great importance to this warning, and the police quickly dispatched elite police to form the "4 28" task force.

   After investigation, since March, Wang Mouliang, together with Zhang Mouyu, Mu Mouxin, Wang Mou and others, have used Zhang Moujia (female, Linghai native, 13 years old) as bait in three different hotels in Linghai City, extorting and robbing twice and robbing once by the way of "Fairy Jump", and got a total of 5,500 yuan.

  Choose to call the police after ideological struggle

  The police handling the case restored the whole process of Chen’s encounter with the "fairy jump".

  On April 13th, Wang Mouliang used Zhang Moujia’s mobile phone and its micro-signal to search for people nearby and added Chen as a WeChat friend.

  Chen Moumou is a salesman. He went to Linghai to discuss a business. After a full meal, he was lonely and unbearable. Just when he saw a beautiful woman invited to meet, Chen Moumou readily agreed to the request.

  Chen fell in love with Zhang Moujia at first sight and met to open a hotel. However, Zhang Mojia took the opportunity to quietly send out the short message code of "Come and save me". Just as the two were about to have sex, four men and four women dressed as Zhang’s brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law broke into the house one after another, asking for 10,000 yuan, otherwise they would call the police.

  Chen saw this as a "fairy jump" scam, and the counter-offer could only be 2000 yuan. Wang Mouliang instigated Zhang Mouyu (a minor) to stab Chen Moumou with a knife, and Zhang Mouyu stabbed Chen Moumou in the back rib of his right chest. Seeing that Chen was bleeding, Wang Mouliang and others were at a loss, and Chen was sent to the hospital in a panic. The next day, Chen was quietly discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate.

  On April 28, Chen, who was indignant, chose to report to the 110 Command Center of Jinzhou Public Security Bureau after a fierce ideological struggle.

  After Chen’s injury, Zhang Moujia was afraid and quietly left Wang Mouliang’s gang, but was quickly found and controlled by Wang. After investigation, since April, Wang, together with Wang Moliang, Zhao Mouqin (female) and others, has forced and introduced the minor Zhang Mojia to engage in prostitution three times, and obtained a whoring fund of 2,000 yuan, a jade necklace, a pendant and a watch.

  Interception and extortion of truck drivers

  It is worth mentioning that when handling the "Fairy Jump" case, the task force followed the line, taking the physical characteristics of one of them as a breakthrough, and made a lot of analysis and comparison using the big data platform, and found a shocking clue: Wang Mouliang and others were highly consistent with the suspect information of the violent robbery of large truck drivers in Linghai City in January.

  After a week’s work, 19 criminal gangs headed by Wang Mouliang, Wang Mou and Zhang Mou surfaced.

  Since January this year, on the National Highway 102, Wang Mouliang and others have chosen large trucks parked on the side of the road or driving slowly as the target. After finding the parking target, they directly parked in front of the target vehicle; When you find a slow-moving truck, don’t stop it immediately if you think the target is suitable, and don’t stop the self-driving vehicle in front of the target vehicle. Then, according to the division of labor, they held knives, iron bars, baseball bats, electric batons and other murder weapons, and threatened the drivers of large trucks to give them money on the grounds that they had just been released from prison. If they didn’t give money, they would smash the car glass and threaten the drivers with a knife to achieve the purpose of robbery. In order to cover up the crime of robbery, Wang Mouliang and others usually throw the driver two apples or two bottles of drinks and a mahogany axe after they succeed. The value of the property involved in each case ranged from tens of yuan to 1200 yuan, and a total of 23 robberies were carried out, involving more than 10 thousand yuan of property.

  After grasping the situation, the task force organized a capable police force to arrest. After nearly a month of overnight fighting, 19 people including Wang, Wang Mouliang, Zhang, Zhang Mouhang, Zhang Mouyu, Wang Moxing, Liu Mojian, Wang Moxin, Zhao Moqin and Tang Mou were arrested and brought to justice. At this point, 19 evil gangs were completely uprooted.

  At present, 19 people, including the suspect Wang Mouliang, have been criminally detained by the police according to law, and the case is under further investigation.

How much "unexpected" can a bowl of Gansu mala Tang hold?

  Potato chips, meatballs, gluten, crystal clear Dingxi noodles, and a mixture of various vegetables, after being cooked, are taken out, evenly covered with fragrant oil and spicy seeds, and sucked into the mouth … This bowl of "YOLO" mala Tang, originally the secret pleasure of Gansu people’s taste buds, has now become a "national snack" pursued by the whole network and continues to be hot.

On March 14th, Tianshui, Gansu, tourists tasted mala Tang. Recently, Tianshui Mala Tang in Gansu has been popular on the online platform, attracting many tourists from all over the country to taste it. Nine beautiful Dan Zengshe

  Why is this bowl of mala Tang so popular in Gansu? Since ancient times, desert, Gobi, frontier fortress, camel and drought have become the "stereotype" of Gansu. This sudden explosion of fire is somewhat "unexpected", but in fact it is "expected".

  Dingxi, Gansu, the "hometown of potatoes in China": supporting half of Mala Tang.

  Vermicelli is undoubtedly the "C position" of this bowl of mala Tang.

  Compared with the instant noodles and soft vermicelli contained in mala Tang in other areas, the potato flour of Gansu Mala Tang can be described as "different in shape", with wide powder, leek leaf powder, fine powder, vermicelli and so on, and "Dingxi wide powder", just like the generous mind of people in Longzhong, best reflects the heroism of northwest food.

On March 14th, Tianshui, Gansu, tourists were tasting mala Tang. Strong and smooth vermicelli is the most recommended by diners. Nine beautiful Dan Zengshe

  "Dingxi Kuanfen" is well-known in the market for its "spicy, slippery, strong, transparent, fragrant and refreshing". In 2023, there were 120 processing entities of Dingxi Kuanfen, with a production capacity of over 200,000 tons and sales exceeding 3 billion yuan. In April 2023, "Dingxi Kuanfen" successfully registered the national geographical indication certification trademark. "Small and wide powder" is developing vigorously towards the "big industry" with an unprecedented momentum.

  Dingxi kuanfen is derived from the high-quality potato in Dingxi, the "hometown of potatoes in China". Dingxi, located in the middle of Gansu, is famous for its potatoes, and it is popular with them. After more than 200 years of development, potatoes in the land of "Longzhong", accompanied Dingxi people through famine, solved food and clothing, got rid of poverty, became well-off in an all-round way, and embarked on the road of common prosperity. "There are three treasures in Dingxi, Gansu, potato and potato", which shows the pillar position of Dingxi potato.

  Dingxi’s climate is cool, rainy and hot in the same season, the soil is loose and breathable, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Thanks to this special soil and climate condition, the potatoes produced are golden and bright, full of porcelain, mellow in taste, resistant to transportation and storage, high in dry matter, and rich in potassium and vitamins. From simple cooking, burning, frying and steaming in ordinary farmers to fine cooking in high-end restaurants, they can all make "delicious on the tip of the tongue"

  Dingxi potatoes also appear in the form of "potato chips" and "potato balls", which not only become the "overlord" in hot pot, but also become an indispensable staple food for Gansu Mala Tang because of its soft and long taste.

  Low-key "vegetable basket" Gansu: Let Mala Tang be fresh in four seasons.

  Cauliflower, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, bamboo shoots, celery, Chinese cabbage, baby cabbage, kale, carrots and other vegetables are also one of the protagonists of this popular mala Tang. Most of these fresh vegetables are grown locally in Gansu.

On March 14th, Tianshui, Gansu, tourists held the selected spicy food "vegetable bouquet". Nine beautiful Dan Zengshe

  When it comes to Gansu, which is dry and short of water, it is impossible to connect green vegetables with it. In fact, Gansu not only has many kinds of vegetables, but also has high quality. Gansu is a low-key "vegetable basket", and it is also an important base for "transferring western food to the east" and "transporting northern food to the south" in China. In 2023, the planting area of vegetables in Gansu province reached 9.85 million mu, the output reached 29.55 million tons, and the output value of the whole industrial chain reached 99 billion yuan.

On July 29th, 2021, wujiang town, Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, provided vegetables for the high-quality fruit and vegetable industrial base in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to ripen, and the staff harvested the cabbage. Yang yanmin

  Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu Province, is also the three major export-oriented vegetable regions and export vegetable production bases in China. It transports fresh vegetables to all parts of the country for half a year every year, and promotes the products to sell well in more than 100 wholesale markets in more than 60 large and medium-sized cities in more than 20 provinces (cities), directly to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and also exported to more than 10 countries such as Japan, Malaysia and Singapore. Especially, the main producing area of "Natsuna in Lanzhou Plateau" with Yuzhong County as the core area has become one of the main bases of "transporting northern cuisine to the south" and "transferring western cuisine to the east" in China.

  Tracing back to the source, Gansu is located at the intersection of the Loess Plateau, the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, belonging to the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the inland river, with a depth of 16 longitudes, 10 latitudes and 4 climatic zones, and an altitude drop of more than 5,000 meters, which breeds the green organic characteristics of agricultural products. At present, there are 2290 green, organic and geographical indication agricultural products in the province.

  The brand of "Ganwei" is shaped by the brand green and organic background, and casts the soul with the brand concept of "honest Gansu authentic Ganwei", and gradually becomes flourishing and lush, and stands out.

  "Sweet" Gold Signature Pepper and Zanthoxylum bungeanum: Retaining the Soul of Mala Tang

  In the words of netizens, the essence of Tianshui Mala Tang in Gansu lies in the rich and fresh fragrance of oily spicy seeds. Tianshui oil spicy seeds have a strong appearance, but the spicy taste is not sharp. "It is mainly fragrant, spicy in the middle, and spicy in the fragrance." Tianshui Gangu pepper is the best choice, and there is no one.

  In Gangu, nothing can be done without spicy food. Gangu pepper has been planted for at least 400 years, with bright color, thick meat and rich oil, slender corners, uniform wrinkles and strong spicy flavor, which has many functions such as appetizing, strengthening the spleen, caring skin and improving eyesight.

  Gangu County, the hometown of pepper in China, is one of the earliest counties for pepper cultivation in China. Due to the unique natural conditions such as soil and climate, the pepper meat in Gangu is thick and oily, and the aromatic substances are more abundant. Grinding dried chili into flour, the hot oil is spicy and does not burn the burner, which is the legendary "god’s material" to accompany the meal.

  In 2023, the county’s pepper planting area reached 56,000 mu, with a total output of 130,000 tons and an output value of about 350 million yuan, basically forming an integrated management system of market, storage, processing, transportation and e-commerce. At present, there are 9 leading enterprises in pepper production, management and sales, and 7 sets of advanced production and processing equipment have been introduced, with an annual sales of 12,000 tons of pepper products and a sales income of 250 million. Pepper in this county is also favored by the international market. More than 60 varieties, mainly line peppers, are exported to more than 20 countries and regions.

  The wonderful taste of Gansu mala Tang is not only due to the pungent oil; In the seasoning stage, sprinkle a handful of pepper noodles on mala Tang, adding a touch of strength to the spicy taste, with endless aftertaste.

  Zanthoxylum bungeanum is an economic tree species in Gansu, which is second only to apples and walnuts in cultivation area. Wudu District of Longnan City is the first batch of "the hometown of China’s famous and excellent economic forest Zanthoxylum bungeanum". Among the main Zanthoxylum bungeanum producing areas in China, Wudu Zanthoxylum bungeanum ranks first in terms of area, yield, quality and farmers’ income.

  Unexpected Gansu: Not only this bowl of mala Tang

  From the perspective of physical geography, Gansu is a very special region. East monsoon region, northwest arid region and Qinghai-Tibet alpine region, the three natural divisions of China meet here. We can feel the drought and desolation of the western desert, the "high cold" of the snowy plateau, and the humidity like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Different climatic and topographical conditions are mixed together, which doomed the variety of Gansu.

  Qingyang Noodles, Tianshui Slurry Surface, Liujiaxia Yellow River Carp, Gannan Tibetan Bag, Jingyuan Lamb, Minqin Honeydew Melon, Dunhuang Donkey Yellow Noodles … Different natural environment features in different regions of Gansu Province have also formed local distinctive food culture, making this northwest inland province a "food paradise".

  Spring planting and autumn harvest, the northwest people who have cultivated this land from generation to generation, will be full of sincerity and simplicity, loaded in this bowl of mala Tang, waiting for more people to go here and find it more unexpected.

The second part of the 2024 annual departmental budget report

After the singer "rejuvenates" by variety, he has the opportunity to sing the original soundtrack of the movie?


Special feature of 1905 film network "This year’s music programs" Singer "and" God-given Voice "(Internet fever) are all too peaceful, and I feel that there is no suitable person to sing the theme song of the movie next." Xiaoyou, who has been engaged in the original sound propaganda of film and television works for three years, spoke to us.


Today, the "Singer’s Year of Playing" has been more than half of the schedule, and has been firmly occupying the ratings champion of the same period. Another music program, The Voice of Heaven, has a mediocre overall performance, although there are many big coffees. The latter, from the complicated competition system to the weird editing, has been criticized as "a godsend embarrassment" by many viewers.


The singer, which premiered in 2013, has survived seven years of itching, but still faces challenges.Before the "Year of Playing" lineup was broadcast, it was recognized by the outside world that it had never been seen before, and most of them were old faces. "Surprise attack" is a brand-new competition system, but the topic is more about "cloud recording" and the controversy of singer Huang Xiaoyun’s choice of surprise attack opponent at the beginning of the program.


The new season "The Singer" also didn’t get too high evaluation. It changed the previous standards and threw an olive branch to singers with more internet popularity.On the one hand, it is more convincing for them to make a "replacement/surprise attack" identity, on the other hand, it is also to get closer to the young audience — — For the first time this year, the program group did not recruit "over 50" judges.



After all, for the audience, what everyone cares about is not the competition system, but the truly amazing music performance.


Then, will this group of young singers who are more in line with the current network trend start their "year of playing" through variety shows?This is still an unknown, but we can count the connections between the participants and the movies from the past variety shows of the same type.

 

Explosive programs can make singers rejuvenate phenomenally.


Almost every singer who participated in variety shows got more exposure and business activities after the popularity.

 

The first season of the variety show "The Voice of China" was a hit.advisorYang Kun"32 concerts" became a hot word of the year.. At the same time, Baidu index also shows that his personal heat peak is still in the first season of Good Voice of China.

 

Huang Qishan, who became popular because of her participation in the recording of the first season of I am a singer, sang the theme song for the film after the competition, although under the banner that only good works can produce songs. At the same time, it can be found that the amount of songs released by her in the seven years after participating in the competition far exceeded that in the previous 13 years. Needless to say, she has frequently appeared in the same kind of variety shows in recent years.

 


At the same time, Terry Lin, a singer who participated in the competition, experienced a burst of popularity after the show. After the first quarter of that year, his personal Baidu search index rose 92 times. At the same time, on Taobao, all his previous albums have been sold out at the phenomenal level.

 

Obviously, the explosive variety show is enough to drive all kinds of data of participants and make them successfully return to the mainstream market.For a time, many singers are eager to join such variety shows.In 2015, it became the peak year of the two programs "The Voice of China" and "I am a singer".

 

"Good Voice of China" has the gimmick that Jay Chou participated in the variety show for the first time, with an average audience rating of around 4.8%; The average audience rating of I am a singer is 2.725%, and the Hazare Dictionary recommended by Li Jian in the program is out of stock in bookstores.

 

In the same year, Ronghao Li, who participated in the recording as a singer, won the recognition of major music awards ceremonies with a song "Li Bai" before the competition, but it was "I am a singer" that really made him famous.Even in recent years, he frequently boarded hot search and became the topic center, but Baidu index shows that his personal heat peak is still in the third season of "I am a singer".

 

All these have laid the groundwork for the gradual proliferation of subsequent homogeneous variety shows.

 

 How hot is it?


After "I am a singer" and "The Voice of China" became popular, music programs began to emerge with various dimensions of "innovation". The Masked King of Songs, The Battle of Nature, The Summer of the Band, Hip Hop in China, The Son of Tomorrow, Creation 101》… … Whether it’s Shangxing Satellite TV or the network platform, they have made great efforts to launch relevant types of programs.

 

In the past five years, almost all singers with certain status have attended at least one competitive variety show;Most of the new singers made their debut from talent shows.Under the influence of these programs, the audience soon began to enter a state of aesthetic fatigue.

 

Judge whether a program is really hot enough.There is a relatively intuitive angle to evaluate. that isAfter you went to see the program broadcast, the commercial invitations of related artists, especially the number of OST (soundtrack) of film and television works. "An artist who used to be the coordinator of a music program told us her views.

 

She told us that in recent years, two programs have been secretly competing with each other. Even though one of them always has good music, it will even become the designated singing track in the subsequent concert of the cover singer, compared with the other program, its subsequent commercialization is much weaker.

 

According to her point of view, we sorted out the original sound recording of some singers’ film and television works before and after participating in The Singer from 2015 to now.


As can be seen from the table, Lala Hsu recorded as many as six original songs in the whole year of 2016. Before that, she had only two records. Singers such as Chen Jieyi and Lao Lang, who are due to the program "Rejuvenation", all got good film invitations.

 

However, since 2017, the singers who participated in the recording of the program will be much less in the follow-up movie invitation."On the one hand, many big-name singers are unwilling to pick up the theme song of the movie, and on the other hand, many singers will be replaced after the homogenization program emerges." Xiaoyou answered our doubts.

 

"On the eve of the film’s release, the propagandists only want to increase the popularity through various dimensions, so it is most likely to realize’ 1+1 > 2′ by enabling popular singers to sing theme songs or concept songs." In 2017, after the advent of Hip-hop in China, the choice of singers became more diverse, which replaced the singers in The Singer to some extent. "And from the budget point of view, those singers selected from music programs will be lower."

 

In Xiaoyou’s view, these heats have a shelf life. "Rocket Girls 101’s" Calorie "in the movie is definitely one of the most successful song marketing cases in recent years. Coupled with the popularity of her debut that year, her group became one of the singers that many publicity companies most hoped to cooperate with in the second half of 2018."

 

According to statistics, Rocket Girls 101 has sung songs for 10 film and television works in a group or a single person within half a year.However, with the subsequent appearance of new variety shows and the weakening of the "koi fish effect" of Calories, since the second quarter of 2019, the corresponding invitations in Rocket Girls 101 have obviously decreased.


Of course, this is also related to the explosion of other variety shows last year. After "The Summer of the Band" was released, the summer file immediately bought Hedgehog Band’s masterpiece "The train sails beyond the clouds, and the dream is safe in the clouds".

 

At the Lunar New Year’s Eve, the band was still the hottest last year. The new pants band was invited to make the theme song "If Life Deceives You", and Miserable Faith also wrote a new song "Life in Curves".


When the popularity decreases, new variety shows take over, and new people emerge again, these people will eventually be replaced. Just look at last year’s Lunar New Year movie and the movies originally planned for this year’s Spring Festival movie, and more singers with more national characteristics, such as Jason, Sitar tan and Chris Lee, are chosen to sing the theme song.



Although this group of people also debuted through the talent show, they all relied on the accumulation of works for many years and got more attention and understanding.The network has a memory, but sometimes the memory is very weak. If there is no high-quality work, it will obviously not be a long-term solution if the songs produced through the assembly line are known to the audience by virtue of the temporary popularity.


Biodiversity | Puzhehei, Yunnan: a paradise with a unique landscape from karst landforms.

CCTV News:Puzhehei in Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China is located in the core of karst landform in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Puzhehei is a Yi language, which means a pond full of fish and shrimp. The unique karst landform and hydrological environment also give birth to Puzhehei’s rich biodiversity and uniqueness.

This is Puzhehei in Qiubei County, with 312 solitary peaks scattered, 83 caves in various shapes, 54 lakes connected and connected, and 40,000 mu of plateau karst wetland and rocky mountain peak forest integrated into one, forming a unique karst lake wetland ecosystem. Puzhehei has more than 20,000 mu of water surface, and there are tens of thousands of mu of wild lotus only. In August of this year, a wild two-color Bidens bipinnata attracted wide attention. Two flowers were blooming on a flower stalk, and the colors were different, which was amazing. Experts call this kind of "two colors with the same stem" a treasure in flowers of the genus Bidens.

In recent years, Puzhehei has established a provincial nature reserve, built a pilot project of Puzhehei Karst National Wetland Park, and carried out wetland restoration for the living environment of wetland animals and plants. The good water system and ecological function provide suitable habitats for waterfowl birds.

Reporter Duan Yu:Karst landforms are complex and diverse, and it is more appropriate to describe them with unique caves. Now we come to an underground cave, where stalactites are crystal clear and many unique fish live.

In order to protect the living environment of these cave fish, local fishing stations have artificially propagated and released these fish, and gradually established a national minimum population protected species. Today, the population of these endemic fish has increased from the previous 4 species to 12 species.

The effective protection and restoration of wetland ecosystem also breeds the diversity and uniqueness of organisms. According to statistics, the number of birds has reached 209, the distribution of fish has reached 89, and the number of vascular plants has reached 823, making it a veritable biological paradise.

  During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Meituan executives revealed in their internal letters that in 2023, about 7.45 million riders received more than 80 billion yuan in compensation through Meituan platform. On September 18, the internal letter spread on the Internet, causing netizens to question that "the average annual salary of riders is just over 10,000 yuan".

  On September 19th, Meituan Research Institute disclosed more detailed data on the income of Meituan riders. 7.45 million riders received orders, accounting for 11% of the total number of riders who received orders for more than 260 days, accounting for about 819,500.About 48% of riders have received orders, and the annual orders are less than 30 days.In other words, 7.45 million riders, including a large part, regard the rider’s work as a short-term transitional job.

  In addition, Meituan Research Institute also disclosed the average income composition of different types of cities and different types of riders. It is understood that the US group riders include ordinary crowdsourcing, music running and other types. The former has no requirement for the number of days to run a single order, and the working hours are more free. The latter has the requirement for the number of days to run a single order, and the average income is more impressive.

  According to the data provided by Meituan, in June, 2024, among high-frequency riders, crowdsourcing and le-running riders earned 7,354 yuan and 11,014 yuan respectively in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, while the average income in third-tier and below cities was 5,556 yuan and 7,197 yuan respectively, which basically represented the average income range of high-frequency riders. There are also a large number of part-time riders who mainly use the two peaks in the afternoon and evening to undertake the delivery task.

  In recent years, the growth of the number of riders is accelerating. According to the public information, 21st century business herald reporters found that from 2020 to 2023, the number of paid riders of the US delegation was 4.7 million, 5.27 million, 6.24 million and 7.45 million respectively.

Hangzhou dog immunization spot was crowded and even the stock immunization certificate was used up.

  "Hello, is this the place to apply for vaccination for dogs?"

  At 9 o’clock yesterday morning, Jamlom, who just moved to Hangzhou from Wenzhou for half a month, came to Hangzhou Yunlai Pet Hospital. Because of the job transfer, she brought her dog in Wenzhou to Hangzhou, so she had to apply for a new license. Unexpectedly, the team with the dog’s immunization certificate at the door has actually been lined up on the road.

  "In the past week, hospitals have all come to vaccinate dogs, and more than 100 dogs have to be vaccinated and immunized every day." Villi, vice chairman of Hangzhou Small Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Industry Association and president of Yunlai Animal Hospital, told Qianbao that all the hospital staff were vaccinated this week, and there was no time for consultation.

  The number of dogs vaccinated has soared.

  There are at least 800 vaccinations a day.

  "Canine rabies is a disease that is compulsory in Hangzhou, that is to say, rabies vaccine for dogs is completely free. Dogs that have been vaccinated will have an immunization certificate supervised by Hangzhou Agriculture Bureau. Only dogs with valid immunization certificates can go to the urban management department to apply for a dog license. "

  The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said that at present, there are 21 dog immunization spots in the main urban area of Hangzhou, including 7 government immunization spots and 14 designated animal clinics. In the past, the number of vaccination certificates in Hangzhou was about 40 per day, but now it has surged to at least 800.

  In the past week, Yunlai Pet Hospital has to handle more than 200 dogs’ injections during the peak period, and the hospital has only 9 staff members. "The hospital will also do free sterilization for stray cats, which is also designated by the government. Now that people are bringing cats, we can only let them come back in a few days because there is really no time for surgery. " Villi said.

  Zheng Wei, dean of Hangzhou Hongtai Pet Hospital, also said, "This week, the rabies vaccine in our hospital has also exploded. At most, 500 dogs are vaccinated every day, and there are more than 200 dogs every day in these two days."

  There are all dogs, large and small, who apply for the certificate.

  Most of them are first-time applicants.

  Qianbao reporter interviewed 11 dog owners randomly in Yunlai Pet Hospital, and 10 of them applied for canine immunization certificates for the first time.

  Xiao Yu, a Beijing Ba dog, is 4 years old and is raised by a couple of 40 years old. The male owner said that Xiao Yu didn’t have a dog license before, but he spent his own money to vaccinate in the pet shop every year. Only recently did he know that he could vaccinate at a fixed point for free.

  Aunt Li, who came from Daguan, held a "string" in her arms (commonly known as a hybrid dog of unknown breed). This dog aunt has been raised for more than 6 years. Yesterday, a family of three accompanied the puppy to get an injection and apply for a certificate. "If you don’t apply for a certificate now, I’m afraid I can’t raise it." Aunt Li said that there is nothing else, but it is not easy to arrange the dog walking time at 7 am and 7 pm. Dogs also need to bask in the sun, and our elderly people have bad legs and feet, which is really inconvenient.

  At 10 o’clock in the morning, two fashionable young men rushed to the hospital and asked if they could vaccinate an Alaskan dog and apply for an immunization certificate.

  Alaskan dogs are huge and stand up, half a head taller than adults. The hospital specially arranged an empty room for it, and the veterinarian completed the vaccination for it accompanied by the owner.

  Subsequently, the reporter from qianjiang evening news came to the canine immunization point of Gongshu District Animal Health Supervision Institute. Staff member Qin Xuefeng told reporters that there are now 120-130 dogs in the station every day, and basically 8 of the 10 vaccinated dogs are newly certified.

  Immunization card stock emergency has been printed.

  You can only give the number first for the time being.

  Dogs that have been vaccinated can apply for immunization certificates, but now many immunization points have run out of immunization certificates.

  Qin Xuefeng told Qianbao reporter: "At present, only Gongshu District and Xihu District have immunization certificates, and other immunization points have no certificates to issue." "The stock of immunization cards has been fully distributed, and now 12,000 immunization cards are being rushed. At present, we have negotiated with the urban management to issue the immunization card number to the dogs who come to fight rabies vaccine. " The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said.

  Two weeks ago, Villi went to Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau to get 1,000 immunization certificates. On Tuesday, Villi went to get another 100 certificates and 400 rabies vaccines, which were used up the next day. Villi said, "The 100 certificates we received are the last stock in Hangzhou. After use, the bureau gave 500 immunization card numbers. "

  The same situation also appeared in Yuhang District, Hangzhou. Qianbao reporter learned from Yuhang District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau that there are also shortages of immunization certificates in many towns and streets in Yuhang.

  depth

  Be careful when buying vaccines online to inject.

  In Yunlai Pet Hospital, Qianbao reporter met a lady with a small yellow book full of immunization records in her hand, asking if the dog that had just been vaccinated could be re-injected.

  The reporter of Qianbao took a closer look and found that there was no government signature and seal on the "vaccine book", which was made by a pet shop. The veterinarian on the side said that all the immunization records in the book were used to immunize dogs against infectious diseases, and there was no record of rabies vaccine injection.

  It turned out that this lady listened to the propaganda of the business and injected a bunch of so-called imported infectious disease vaccines into her dog, but she didn’t know that rabies vaccine was a compulsory vaccine in Hangzhou.

  "Generally speaking, the interval between dog vaccine injections is 15 days. In the past few days, we have encountered several pet owners who have just been vaccinated privately and have informal documents to apply for dog immunization certificates. According to state regulations, we will not handle such cases. " Villi said.

  "These unlicensed dogs usually go to pet stores and buy vaccines online for injection. Our animal husbandry and veterinary department cannot issue immunization certificates; The sales of rabies vaccines in these places are also illegal. If something goes wrong, consumers’ own rights and interests will not be guaranteed. " The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau reminded.

  76 people were bitten by stray dogs in downtown Wenzhou

  According to the police, this is a number of dog bites.

  As of press time, Wenzhou police have arrested seven suspicious stray dogs.

  Since November 16th, there have been many incidents of stray dogs wounding in Wenzhou city. According to the preliminary statistics of Wenzhou CDC, as of 8: 00 pm on November 17th, there were 76 people who were bitten by dogs in Wenzhou city, of which the youngest was only 2 years old and the oldest was 71 years old.

  Since the 16th, many citizens in Wenzhou City have been bitten. In these two days, the dog injury clinic in the emergency department of Wenzhou People’s Hospital ushered in the peak period of medical treatment. Lv Wang, the attending physician of the dog injury clinic in this hospital, said that from 12 noon on the 16th to 7 o’clock that night, nearly 30 patients came to the hospital one after another to get rabies vaccine, which was surprisingly high for the doctors in the dog clinic. From the day of 16th to the afternoon of 17th, Wenzhou People’s Hospital received 47 patients bitten by dogs.

  According to the doctor, the peak period of stray dogs’ injuries is generally concentrated in summer, and the hot weather leads to dogs’ bad temper. However, it is a bit unusual for so many stray dogs to concentrate on injuries in mid-November, which requires detailed investigation by relevant departments.

  According to the incomplete statistics of Wenzhou CDC, from 16th to last night, a total of 76 people in Wenzhou were bitten by stray dogs, mainly in Wenzhou People’s Hospital, Liuhongqiao Chinese Medicine Hospital and Nanbaixiang Community Service Center.

  The reporter from qianjiang evening news learned from the police in Ouhai and Lucheng that there have been many warnings of stray dogs injuring people in two days. According to the police, this concentrated outbreak of stray dogs was caused by multiple dog bites. As of press time, Wenzhou police have jointly arrested seven suspicious stray dogs with a professional search team, and the search on the road is still going on. The police also reminded citizens who adopt dogs that they should register with the relevant administrative departments and get vaccinated in time to reduce the incidents of stray dogs hurting people from the source.

Global news: US economy soft landing is cloudy again, Nasdaq stops rising for seven consecutive days. Liu He talks with US Treasury Secretary Yellen

  On Wednesday, local time, the US stock market ended its previous continuous rebound trend, with the three major indexes all falling more than 1%, and the Nasdaq index stopped rising for seven consecutive days. Economic data show that inflation in the United States is indeed falling, but the fear of recession is endless, and the wave of layoffs of large technology companies continues, and the expectation that the US economy will enter recession is getting stronger and stronger.

  Specifically, the PPI in December increased by 6.2% year-on-year, the smallest increase since March 2021 and -0.5% quarter-on-quarter, the largest decline since April 2020, indicating that inflation is accelerating. At the same time, retail sales in the United States fell more than expected in December, down 1.1% from the previous month, the biggest drop in a year.

  The data shows that inflation is indeed easing, but it also proves that the Fed’s interest rate hike is already taking effect, and curbing demand also casts a shadow over the US economic outlook.

  Analysts pointed out that the economic data is good news for the Fed, and the slowdown in demand and producer inflation at the end of the year is a positive sign, indicating that the Fed’s aggressive interest rate hike policy has produced practical results in fighting inflation. However, the market is far from reflecting the coming recession, and it is currently in the transition period between the bear market driven by interest rates in 2022 and the bear market driven by poor corporate profitability in 2023.

  Overnight, a number of Fed officials put on hawks again, stressing that further interest rate hikes are still needed, and the market may gradually switch to a recession trading style.

  In important news, according to Xinhua News Agency, on the morning of January 18th, Vice Premier the State Council and Chinese leader of China-US Comprehensive Economic Dialogue Liu He held a half-day meeting with US Treasury Secretary Yellen in Zurich, Switzerland. The two sides conducted professional, in-depth, frank and pragmatic exchanges on the global and two countries’ macroeconomic and financial situation and coping with global common challenges around the implementation of the important consensus of the first meeting between China and the United States in Bali. The talks were constructive.

  In other news, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, and his symptoms are mild. He has been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots. Powell is currently isolated at home and telecommuting.

  Microsoft will lay off 10,000 people by the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. Amazon laid off 18,000 people from Wednesday, the largest in the company’s history.

  Liu He talks with US Treasury Secretary Yellen. China welcomes Finance Minister Yellen to visit China at an appropriate time this year.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, the two sides believe that the world economic recovery is at a critical moment, and it is beneficial for China and the United States and the whole world to strengthen macro-policy communication and coordination and jointly meet challenges in economic and financial fields. The two sides discussed issues related to deepening cooperation in the macroeconomic and financial fields. The two sides recognized the importance of sustainable financial cooperation and agreed to strengthen cooperation under bilateral and multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations, G20 and APEC. The two sides agreed to continue to support green and low-carbon development and economic transformation in emerging markets and developing countries. China expressed its concern about the US economic, trade and technical policies towards China, and hoped that the US would pay attention to the impact of these policies on both sides.

  Inflation in the United States accelerated and fell. In December, PPI hit its smallest increase since March 2021.

  The PPI (producer price index) of the United States increased by 6.2% year-on-year in December, the smallest increase since March 2021, slower than the 7.4% in November and lower than the market expectation of 6.8%. In December, the PPI fell to -0.5% month-on-month, lower than the revised November data and lower than the market expectation of 0.1%, the biggest drop since April 2020. In December, the core PPI increased by 5.5% year-on-year, and it was 6.2% in November. The market expected 5.6%. The core PPI increased by 0.1% month-on-month, in line with expectations, lower than the 0.2% in November. The decline in PPI in December was driven by the sharp drop in commodity prices, especially energy and food prices, and the increase in service costs declined, up 0.1% from the previous month.

  Federal Reserve’s Beige Book: There was little growth in economic activity at the end of 2022, and the price increase in 2023 is expected to be moderate.

  According to the Beige Book, the economic activities of the Federal Reserve increased or declined slightly in most places, and only one Federal Reserve mentioned that the sharp decline in manufacturing led to the contraction of economic activities. Several local Federal Reserve said that the price increase slowed down, and retailers hinted that consumers were more sensitive to prices. It is widely expected that the price increase will be further moderate in the coming year. The job market is still tight, and the salary pressure continues to be high. Five local Federal Reserve Banks said that the pressure has slowed down to some extent.

  A number of Fed officials delivered hawkish speeches.

  In 2023, Logan, chairman of the FOMC voting committee and Dallas Fed, said that he supported the US to slow down the rate hike and the inflation level was too high, so it may be necessary to gradually raise interest rates until "convincing evidence" shows that the inflation rate is close to 2%. In 2023, the FOMC Voting Committee and Philadelphia Fed President Huck reiterated his support for raising interest rates by 25 basis points. He said that the Fed needs to raise interest rates above 5%. Cleveland Fed President Mester said that it is still necessary to raise interest rates further, and the policy interest rate should be "higher" than the range of 5%-5.25% predicted by policy makers at the end of 2023. St. Louis Fed President Brad said that even if inflation falls this year, the Fed will tend to keep interest rates at a high level to ensure that the task is completed and it can continue to shrink its balance sheet after stopping raising interest rates.
