EU sanctions stick to Russian oil, European economy may be more hurt.

  Xinhua News Agency, Valletta, May 5th(International observation) EU sanctions stick to Russian oil, European economy may be more hurt.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Wenxian Li Jizhi

  On the 4th, the European Commission formally submitted a new round of sanctions, including an oil embargo on Russia, and once again swung the sanctions stick at the Russian energy sector. The analysis believes that once the oil embargo is imposed on Russia, the European energy crisis will further deepen, ordinary families will bear higher energy bills, and the operating costs of related industries will also be raised, which will lead to an increase in the risk of European economic stagflation.

  The energy crisis worsened.

  The proposal of the sixth round of sanctions against Russia submitted by the European Commission on the 4th includes a total ban on the import of Russian oil by the end of this year, that is, the EU will gradually phase out Russian crude oil within six months and Russian refined oil by the end of this year.

  After the EU announced on April 8 that it would stop importing Russian coal from August, the EU once again "cut the knife" to Russian energy to achieve the goal of greatly reducing its dependence on Russian energy. At present, about 40% of natural gas, about 30% of oil and slightly less than 20% of coal imported by the EU come from Russia, and Russian energy plays an important role in the EU energy consumption market and economic development.

  Sanctions against Russian oil are a "double-edged sword" for the EU. While Russia’s oil revenue is greatly reduced, it is difficult for the EU to seek alternative sources from the already tight international market in a short time, and its own energy crisis will intensify.

  Russia expects oil production to drop by about 17% this year. Market analysts believe that the reduction of Russian oil production will make the global oil supply more tense and aggravate market worries, and oil prices are expected to soar again.

  Michael Holstein, chief economist of the German Central Cooperative Bank, believes that the oil embargo against Russia may continue to push up oil prices in the next few months, and the German inflation rate may remain at a high level for a long time.

  There are obvious internal differences

  Just as EU member states hold different opinions on Russian natural gas "ruble settlement order", countries also have differences on sanctions against Russian oil. There has been a heated debate within the EU for some time, but the final plan has not yet been fully agreed, and there are certain variables in the details of the plan.

  Since the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the EU has repeatedly expressed its desire to "get rid of" Russian oil and gas in the round after round of sanctions, but it is quite difficult for the EU to really do this.

  The sanctions against the Russian oil embargo need to be unanimously agreed by 27 member States before it can take effect. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, admitted that it was not easy to pass the proposal because some member countries were highly dependent on Russian energy. At present, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, etc. all said that they could not find alternative sources quickly and needed a long transition period.

  Gullyas Gergely, Minister of the Hungarian Prime Minister’s Office, said that Hungary was "ready to veto" the relevant proposal, and it would take about five years and cost "a lot of money" to switch oil and gas sources.

  Stagflation risk intensifies

  Soaring energy prices, record high inflation and supply chain shortage have aggravated the risk of stagflation in Europe, which will hinder the recovery after the COVID-19 outbreak. According to Eurostat data, the euro zone economy grew by only 0.2% in the first quarter, while the inflation rate was as high as 7.5% in April.

  The report of Bruggaier Institute, a Belgian think tank, said that the embargo on Russian oil would have negative consequences for the EU, at least in the short term, causing losses to the EU and the whole world economy.

  Sarah Mathieu, a member of the European Parliament, said that these sanctions will not only harm the Russian economy, but also "affect the housing, jobs and wallets of EU people", which may increase social inequality, push up unemployment and aggravate energy poverty.

  Eugenio Pinto, a professor of economics at Rome International Free University of Social Sciences, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that if countries that are highly dependent on Russian energy stop importing Russian energy, they will be forced to adopt an energy quota system and their economic recovery will come to a standstill.

  Peter Adrian, president of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that rising oil prices will increase the financial pressure of enterprises, especially for energy-intensive industrial and logistics enterprises. In extreme cases, enterprises may be forced to close down for cost reasons.

  Molditz Jobaugh, research director of Eurasian Center of Hungarian john von neumann University, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago that sanctions alone will not help to solve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and negotiations must be held, because it is not a good solution to completely cut off diplomatic, economic and commercial ties with Russia.

Diesel Oil Mixed Analysis of SAIC Chase MAXUS Xuanyuan Power

  [car home Engine Analysis] Today, with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, many manufacturers are still insisting on the development of internal combustion engines. After all, in the domestic and even global markets, oil vehicles still have an irreplaceable position in many application scenarios. Speaking of SAIC MAXUS, many consumers may immediately think of their hard-core SUVs, pickup trucks and RV products, and today it is from SAIC MAXUS Xuanyuan Power that we want to talk about.

Home of the car

  Speaking of diesel engines, in the traditional cognition of many consumers, diesel engines have the advantages of durable leather, high torque, low fuel consumption, etc., and are suitable for use on complex roads, climbing hills, heavy loads, etc., so they are also the first choice for many hard-core off-road vehicles. However, noise, pollution and other problems have also discouraged many consumers. What changes can diesel engines make in the hands of SAIC Chase engineers?

What is SAIC Chase Xuanyuan Power Technology?

  The brand-new SUV territory of SAIC Chase MAXUS is equipped with the first diesel light hybrid power technology in Asia, which combines a 2.0T SAIC π Bi-Turbo double supercharged diesel engine, a ZF 8AT automatic transmission and a 48V hybrid architecture. The technology is named "SAIC Chase Xuanyuan Power Technology", and this diesel engine has also won the reputation of "Top Ten Engines of China Heart" in 2020.

2.0T SAIC π Bi-Turbo Dual Supercharged Diesel Engine

  As one of the top ten engines of the year, this 2.0T twin-supercharged engine has its own good skills, and it is also the core of this Xuanyuan power. Let’s take a look at what "black technologies" it has.

  The vehicle adopts WGT+VGT two-stage turbocharger, which is adjusted by three vacuum valves to realize the free switching between high and low pressure stages, and has three working modes, namely, the low-speed stage uses small blades, the middle-speed stage uses two blades at the same time, and the high-speed stage uses large blades, which improves the engine efficiency. When the engine speed is 1000rpm, the turbine will intervene and reach the maximum torque output at 1500rpm, which will increase the low-speed torque and power of the vehicle by 15% and 30%.

Home of the car

  The water-air intercooler adopts water cooling and air cooling at the same time. Under the same air-fuel ratio, the engine power will increase by 3%~5% for every 10℃ drop in the temperature of pressurized air.

Home of the car

  At the same time, this engine also applies the intelligent single-axis continuous variable vortex control valve for the first time. When the engine is in high working condition, the control valve will open a relatively flat intake port, so that air can enter the engine cylinder quickly and smoothly. When the engine is under low load, the control valve will open the air passage with spiral cross section to help the air entering the engine cylinder produce better vortex effect, so that the pressure difference of each cylinder can be less than 3%, and the air intake can be more uniform, thus making the combustion of each cylinder of the engine stable, achieving smoother power output, and reducing the emission of particles and carbon monoxide and fuel consumption.

Home of the car

  This diesel engine adopts a two-stage variable oil pump, which can adjust the oil pump flow in real time according to different speed loads while meeting the oil pressure demand. Low-pressure mode is adopted at medium-low speed and medium-low load; When there is a high speed and high load demand, the high pressure mode is adopted. Through adjustment, the oil pump can run at the lowest energy consumption, thus reducing fuel consumption. Through the NEDC (New European Cycle Test) cycle test, the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle can be reduced by 2~3%;

  In addition, this diesel engine is equipped with a double-shaft balancing mechanism and a double-loop EGR system, in which the balancing shaft is asymmetrically arranged to balance the engine covering torque, which greatly reduces the second-order vibration, makes the engine run more smoothly, and also reduces vibration and noise. The dual-loop EGR system can reduce the warm-up time, reduce fuel consumption and improve the heating effect of air conditioning. (EGR is the full name of exhaust gas recirculation system. By re-injecting some exhaust gas into the engine cylinder, the combustible mixture is diluted and the combustion efficiency is reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the working temperature of the engine, reducing Nox emission and reducing urea consumption. )

  In addition to the above, this diesel engine also adopts Bosch’s ultra-high pressure fuel injection system, which can obtain more accurate fuel supply control, and crankshaft offset technology, which can effectively reduce the running noise and wear of the engine piston. At the same time, a number of NVH optimizations have been carried out.

48V light mixing system

Home of the car

? The 48V light mixing system of the vehicle adopts Valeo 48 BSG motor, with special bidirectional tensioner, and the gear train speed ratio is as high as three times, which further amplifies the output torque of 48V BSG and effectively improves the low-speed torque characteristics of diesel power. When the 48V battery is charged, the engine is started by BSG, and the vehicle starts more smoothly, the starting time is shortened from the traditional 0.6 seconds to 0.3 seconds, and the starting noise is reduced by 10-15 dB. With the assistance of the motor, the torque of the power system is increased by more than 30%, and the starting acceleration of the vehicle below the medium and small throttle of 30%-50% is increased by more than 33%; 0-100km/h acceleration time is shortened by 0.4 seconds.

  In addition to performance, fuel economy has been further improved. Under high-speed working conditions, the surplus torque of the engine drives the 48V motor to charge and store energy. The fuel consumption under WLTC can be saved by 8%, while Nox emission can be reduced by more than 50% in RDE test at most.

Low article summary:

  SAIC Chase MAXUS Xuanyuan Power has improved the power output of the vehicle by matching the original diesel engine with a 48V light mixing system, and at the same time, it has improved some weaknesses of the original diesel engine, so it can be said that it has achieved a strong alliance. In this power system, many of them are used on domestic diesel engines for the first time, which shows that vehicles still have a lot of advantages in power system. Of course, whether all these technologies can be as excellent as the design will be known after the test drive and test. (Text/Figure car home Zhou Wei)

China’s intellectual property development index has been continuously improved, and the application of intellectual property rights has made remarkable progress.

  Cctv newsOn April 23rd, 2020, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the development of intellectual property rights in China in 2019 and answer questions from reporters.

  The reporter asked what new progress has been made in the construction of China’s intellectual property operation system in 2019.

  Shen Changyu, director of China National Intellectual Property Administration, said that intellectual property work is a chain, which includes creation, protection, application, management and service. Creation is the source, application is the purpose, protection is the core and management is the key. Among them, application is a very important purpose of intellectual property, and it is a key link to promote the realization of intellectual property value and promote economic innovation and development. Relevant statistics show that in recent years, China’s comprehensive development index of intellectual property rights has been continuously improved, and the application of intellectual property rights has made remarkable progress.

The construction of intellectual property operation system has achieved new results.

Apple AR glasses function preview, 11 patents take you to decrypt.

What would it be like if Apple released a pair of AR glasses?

It has been ten years since Steve Jobs left us, but people will still miss the amazing feeling brought by the first generation and the classic design of the iPhone 4. When it comes to the impression of the Cook era, people are keen to discuss only the "little bangs", some product details of Pro Max’s lidar scanner and Apple’s market value of $3 trillion.

What will Cook bring to Apple? The question that everyone has been thinking about seems to have a new answer recently. Recently, when Cook was interviewed by many media, he called himself the "number one fan" of AR, and even said, "We don’t talk about the meta-universe, we only talk about AR". Therefore, AR glasses are most likely to become one of the iconic products of Apple in the Cook era.

Apple’s products have always been known for their high aesthetics, high standards and strict requirements. Cook once said that there is no AR glasses on the market that can satisfy him. Just like before Apple officially launched the AppleWatch, Cook also said something similar, saying that no wearable product satisfied him. So what kind of AR glasses does Cook want to make? Can it reproduce Apple’s past glory and lead a new consumption storm again?

These questions have made people pay close attention to the dynamics of Apple’s AR devices, and they all want to know what the AR glasses made by Apple will look like. We look forward to Apple’s AR glasses with you by taking stock of the information of Apple and Apple’s AR equipment.

Of course, the related AR patents may also be applied to head displays, mobile phones, watches and even automobiles. After all, Apple is making more and more money, and the consumer business involved is getting wider and wider. However, as the first AR device, AR glasses are still very likely to be applied to these patented technologies.

What are the highlights of Apple’s upcoming AR glasses that are worth looking forward to? By reading the patent documents, we infer that Apple AR glasses may have the functions of environmental application model, object-centered scanning, establishing virtual space and providing spatial audio.

▲ Apple obtained a summary of patent information related to AR glasses in 2021.

In this year’s 11 patents, we saw three more interesting patents, which also decrypted the "true face" of Apple’s AR glasses.

1. You can draw a floor plan by taking a picture. Is it a necessary "artifact" for designers?

In the past, people mainly used tape measure to measure the room area. This method was time-consuming and laborious, but if people put on Apple’s AR glasses, they might be able to get the floor plan of the room by looking around.

Moreover, because there are objects such as tables and sofas in the indoor environment, the lines of the room will be blurred, which makes it difficult for people to build accurate floor plans according to videos and sensors.

Faced with these problems, Apple chose to measure the structure of the room and create a floor plan through 3D Point Cloud technology and 3D display technology. These technologies mark the boundaries, walls, doors and windows in the room through words or symbols, and have special measurement methods.

▲ Measure the structure of the room through the camera head.

In this way, users can preview the floor plan of the room in real time while wearing AR glasses.

2. How will Apple create a "metauniverse"? Build an avatar to play first.

Apple has previously released the function of imitating my expression, which can imitate the user’s expression synchronously. Originally, the mimetic expression only imitated the user’s head movement, but now this range can be extended to the whole body. This patent is mainly designed for HMD at present, but it may be applied to some AR products in the future.

This technology will collect your posture information through multiple cameras, and you can customize a virtual avatar. Similarly, your avatar will change according to your movements. For example, if you talk and gesture, your avatar will also talk and gesture. This will enrich the creative form of video, and it may have a wider application range when linked with game products.

▲ Similar to Doug Roble, director of software research and development in Digital Domain, and his avatar.

3, spatial touch/audio: Apple "patted" your head and made you turn around.

In terms of enhancing spatial tactile perception, AR glasses will shift users’ attention to virtual phone conference or other places through tactile guidance. For example, users wearing AR glasses can feel that the pattern in front of them is moving to the left, and prompt users to turn to the left by vibration.

▲ FaceTime has updated the functions related to spatial audio.

Similar to the guidance mode of spatial touch, spatial audio mainly adjusts the sound change according to the user’s head change. This technology will monitor the head changes of users through image sensors, and also provide filters and visual guidance, so that users can have a better music experience.

At present, only AirPods Pro, AirPods Max and Xiaomi True Wireless Noise Reduction Headset 3 Pro support spatial audio applications, and there are not many other products that support spatial audio functions.

4, AR knows people/cars: specially built for Didi? Never have to worry about getting on the wrong bus again.

During the rush hour, there are often many network cars waiting for their customers on the roadside, but because of the large number of vehicles, customers are often prone to get on the wrong bus. In response to this situation, Apple’s new patent has created an AR system. When you wear AR glasses, you may be able to find your own network car at a glance from many vehicles.

The system will join hands with the online car software and provide two-way AR identification service, that is, drivers can find their customers in the crowd in time, and customers can also find their online car in the car sea in time. Since Apple invested one billion dollars in Didi Chuxing in 2016, and according to public information, Apple did not invest in other taxi software, therefore, this AR system may be specially built for Didi.

▲ Frame diagram of augmented reality system for proximity sensing.

The system can capture images through the camera of the mobile device, identify the corresponding vehicles and passengers with indicators or identifiers, and display them on the device. By simply displaying the signs, you will avoid the embarrassment of getting on the wrong bus during the rush hour.

What kind of experience will Apple’s AR glasses bring to people, and can they really help consumers in their daily lives? As the next generation of smart wearable devices, AR glasses play an important role in displaying information in the digital world for consumers, which can accelerate the combination of information in the digital world and the physical world. However, AR glasses on the market still have some shortcomings in data transmission and information display.

According to patent documents, Apple is giving new solutions to these problems through point cloud and virtual information display technology.

1. Overcome the data problem and speed up the data through point cloud compression.

Point cloud mainly refers to the data set of the midpoint in space, and usually 3d scanner obtains the relevant data of three-dimensional objects. Apple’s LiDAR lidar scanner on the iPhone 12 Pro series can support data collection and transmission of point clouds.

The new patent report indicates that "point cloud compression" can be formed by lidar scanner, providing more information for reality.

This technology can be used in VR, AR, geographic information system serving maps, sports replay broadcasting, museum display, autonomous navigation of Project Titan and many other projects.

2. The gospel of the road-crazy party: displaying virtual guidance information in the real environment.

In September this year, Apple obtained a patent related to displaying virtual information in a real environment, which allows users to locate and navigate to their destinations through mobile devices.

At present, the information service in the AR field usually needs to be completed by different technology combinations, and it is impossible to update the information in time according to the changes of the scene. In addition, some conventional GPS display technologies often cannot provide accurate location information.

The new system will display at least one piece of virtual information according to the real scene data, and will also display remote virtual information with low accuracy.

▲ Display the patent schematic diagram of virtual guidance information in real environment.

Specifically, when the user is close to the target area, the relevant information of other irrelevant areas will gradually disappear or be roughly displayed, and the digital information in the target area will be more detailed. Not only that, as people get closer to the target area, the relevant data will be more accurate.

To create a product that can cause a new consumption storm, we need not only technical support, but also innovative and creative talents as a strong backing.

As one of the first players in AR layout, Apple has an AR research team of nearly 1,000 people. According to Bloomberg News, the executive in charge of Apple’s AR business is Mike Rockwell, and his superior is Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering.

Mike Rockwell, a former executive vice president of Dolby and a senior researcher at Dolby Labs, is now one of the "candidates" for Apple’s next CEO.

▲ Mike Rockwell (Source: Patently Apple)

The team also includes new employees involved in video games, audio guidance, computer vision and special effects, as well as old Apple employees with rich experience in supply chain and program management. For example, Fletcher Rothkopf, who was in charge of watch design at Apple, and Tomlinson Holman, who created the sound standard THX.

In recent years, Apple has successively recruited talents from all over the world to expand its own AR R&D team. Previously, Apple had poached Li Zeyu from Magic Leap to be its own advanced computer vision algorithm engineer.

Not only that, Cody WHite, the former chief engineer of Amazon’s Lumberyard virtual reality platform, and Avi Bar Zeev, who worked in Hololens and Google Earth, have joined Apple’s VR/AR research team one after another, but interestingly, these two experts have left their jobs for reasons that have not been disclosed.

In addition to the talent pool, Apple has also strengthened its technical pool by acquiring a number of companies.

After Apple acquired Israeli hardware company PrimeSense in 2013, Apple successively acquired more than ten companies related to the AR field, involving sensors, AR software, AR content ecology and even AR lenses.

▲ Apple’s acquisition of company information related to AR glasses over the years.

To sum up, Apple has made a good talent reserve and technical reserve in the AR project. Now, everything is ready, except for the formal product launch and the test of the market.

Although Apple’s AR glasses have not yet officially appeared, Apple has already made many attempts in the AR field, not only bringing ARKit 5 system platform to the 2021WWDC conference, but also launching many AR-related functions such as Object Project and RealityKit 2.

Apple said that at present, 7,000 developers have developed 10,000 iOS apps that support AR. During the epidemic, people can purchase goods or complete home decoration through related AR software.

Not only developers can create their own products on ARKit platform, but also some amateur AR enthusiasts can DIY their own AR software on ARKit development platform.

In addition, the Apple TV+launched by Apple at this autumn conference may also become an important source of its future content ecology.

Although Apple has not launched its own AR software store, its AR content ecology and platform planning can gradually take shape, which will become one of the outstanding advantages of Apple AR glasses.

Strong technical library support, excellent R&D team and technical personnel, and rich content ecology, it seems that Apple AR glasses have occupied many advantages before the release, but for a consumer-grade product, performance is the standard to test everything, and it is also the most important grasp of the product.

In terms of chips, according to The Information, the chip design of Apple AR glasses has been completed, and now it has entered the trial production stage.

According to the report, the chip uses TSMC’s 5nm process technology, with CPU and GPU, but no neural engine belonging to Apple. It is reported that Apple’s chip may be connected to some host devices through wireless communication, and the host will bear the computing power.

Not only that, according to industry news, the CMOS image sensor version of this SoC is extremely large, and its size is close to that of a head-mounted lens. This may be to capture high-resolution image data from the user’s surrounding environment faster and provide better scene rendering or other AR services.

In addition, Apple’s AR glasses may be more lightweight and split-type, and Bloomberg has also said that Apple will produce a special version of Jobs. Major designers in the industry have also used their brains to "help" Apple design new AR glasses.

Korean designer Martin Hajek designed the concept map of the new AR glasses with reference to the dial of Apple Watch and the color matching of iPhone.

▲ The appearance of Apple AR glasses designed by Korean designer Martin Hajek

Judging from the design released by Martin Hajek, a three-dimensional artist in the Netherlands, Apple AR glasses may be similar to ordinary glasses. He used metal material in the frame, and placed a wireless antenna and sensor inside, with WiFi and Bluetooth parts on both sides of the frame.

▲ The appearance of Apple AR glasses designed by Dutch artist Martin Hajek

On the display side, Guo Ming said that Apple’s AR glasses may use OLED screens. Since Apple has previously acquired a company related to AR lenses, it is very likely that Apple will develop its own AR glasses.

In terms of whole machine OEM, Goer is currently the world’s leading OEM player of high-end AR/VR equipment, and once worked for Sony and Facebook. According to industry forecast, the AR/VR equipment assembly of Goer shares will account for 80% of the global market in 2021. Since Goer has also OEM AirPods and other related products for Apple before, based on its long-term cooperative relationship with Apple, the OEM of Apple’s AR glasses may be undertaken by Goer.

We can see that Apple has invested a lot in technology, talents and funds for its own AR glasses, and also tried to bring some new ways to play the display technology.

The concept of AR glasses has been around for a long time, but no mature products have appeared. For example, although Microsoft and Google have released some smart glasses products, they have not been widely recognized by users. Steven Law Corasa, head of AR at Adobe, once said that "Head Display, AR and other technical products are in our roadmap, but none of them have reached the critical quality that we can deploy."

The release of Apple’s AR glasses has become a major event of concern to the whole industry. Every time Apple’s press conference, we see that everyone pays close attention to Apple’s AR glasses. According to the industrial chain news, Apple will launch this AR glasses around 2023. Whether the upcoming products can cause other software, hardware and content eco-players to join the AR market, we will continue to pay attention to the latest trends.

The 3-year-old girl was found missing for 15 hours and slept alone by the wild grave for one night.

  A 30-cm-wide road behind the house almost became a permanent pain in parents’ hearts.

  At 6 o’clock in the evening the day before yesterday, a little girl less than 3 years old in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou, took this road, turned and went away … … She may have been attracted by the bamboo shoots that just popped up by the roadside. She walked and watched, and went further and further, plowing roads and loess roads. At last she got lost, which was a mountain she had never been to.

  Fortunately, at 9 o’clock yesterday morning after a whole night, she was found by search and rescue personnel, unhurt and in a normal mood. She was even asleep when she was found.

  Grandparents, mom and dad, and grandma who arrived from Yiwu cried like tears.

  Nearly 1000 people participated in the search and rescue of the little girl, and a large number of them went spontaneously after seeing the news on the Internet. How did a three-year-old girl get lost? How did she come over on a cold night in the mountains?

  7 minutes

  3-year-old girl disappeared

  Li Yue (a pseudonym) arrived at her mother’s house in Luojiwu Natural Village, Langjia Village, Lin ‘an, Hangzhou at noon on March 27th with her daughter Duoduo (a pseudonym) who is less than 3 years old. A few days ago, she made an appointment with her mother to make Qingming Guo (a kind of food) — — Making rice dumplings is a way for every family to live in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

  At 6: 00 pm, villager Jiang Zhongxiao went to work at night shift. When he passed by, he saw Duo Duo playing at the door, with rice husk in his hand.

  "The adults are here, and my mother also urges me to eat early so that I can take my children back early." In pheasant dock village, Li Yue told Qianbao that she went to add a bowl of rice and just ate a few mouthfuls, only to find that many were gone. Hurry out and look for it, there are few places that I often go to.

  At 6: 13 in the evening, she called the police.

  Jiang Zhongxiao saw that there was a difference of 7 minutes between a lot of time and the alarm time.

  Where can a 3-year-old child go in these 7 minutes?

  On the evening of March 27, the news of finding a 4-year-old girl lost in Qingshanhu Street in Lin ‘an was screened in the WeChat circle of friends. Qianjiang evening news APP "Zhejiang 24 Hours" also immediately pushed "4-year-old Lin ‘an girl lost for 6 hours, help turn! Contact Lin ‘an Public Security 61106110》&mdash clues & mdash; — Up to now, this news has been read nearly 450 thousand times.

  Many enthusiastic people rushed to pheasant dock village one after another, and the search team has rapidly increased from dozens to two or three hundred.

  "First, look inside and outside the village, empty houses, ditches beside houses, and other places where children may go." The relevant person in charge of the village Committee of pheasant dock village said that almost all the people in the village, men, women and children, participated, and the police of the local Qingshan police station did not sleep all night.

  Some people are worried about whether the child has suffered a more serious accident. Taking advantage of the night, several people searched separately, and some of them focused on ponds and reservoirs around the village.

  Zhou Yong, director of Qingshan Police Station of Lin ‘an District Public Security Bureau, stayed up all night, and his voice was extremely tired. "I received an alarm at 6: 13 pm on March 27. In fact, the worst plan was made at the beginning. " He said that the worst consequences that children may encounter include being trafficked and being violated.

  After receiving the alarm, the first wave of 15 policemen who searched quickly set off, and the video group also began to analyze and investigate the surveillance videos near the jurisdiction that day.

  At 7 o’clock that night, Zhou Yong reported to the District Public Security Bureau, and the community streets were linked at the same time, and the Criminal Investigation Brigade also rushed to the scene. At 8 o’clock in the evening, more than 40 police officers of Qingshan Police Station were all involved in the search (except the personnel on duty). At 10 o’clock in the evening, two emergency rescue teams in Lin ‘an and Fuyang rushed to the incident site with professional equipment. At 12 o’clock in the evening, search and rescue dogs joined the search team.

  According to the villagers, the total number of people on the scene at that time exceeded 300 (there were more than 1,000 participants before and after), and the carpet search was spread out.

  Get lost on the mountain with seven turns and eight bends

  She slept alone by the wild grave all night.

  Good news came early on March 28th! On the basis of a large number of investigations by the public security department, the emergency rescue commando team first discovered a lot.

  "At 8: 50 in the morning, I saw something moving 70 or 80 meters away. Looking closer, the little girl covered her head with clothes and was sleeping on the grass." The first child was Mr. Miao of Fuyang Xincheng Emergency Rescue Commando. He said that the child’s little feet that moved from time to time caught his attention.

  "I woke her up, and she didn’t cry, so she said she wanted to find her mother. It’s so happy, the child is safe and everything seems to be normal. "

  At noon on March 28, Qianbao reporter saw a lot. She pestered her mother for a hug and almost forgot what happened the night before.

  "Sleeping in one place, there are very big stones and very small bamboo, which can talk." She said to Qianbao reporter with her hand, with a naive face. She said she left by herself, and it got dark when she walked, and then she went to sleep.

  With the encouragement of my mother, I took everyone again — — She came out from home, walked a few meters, turned left on a road only 30 centimeters wide, turned right on a dirt road after 300 meters, and turned right again after 50 meters — — It’s hard to walk, there are puddles and mud, keep walking, walking, walking … …

  The 3-year-old Duo Duo has limited language skills and can’t describe the details accurately, but she still took us to a hillside — — It is about 1 km away from the village where Duoduo’s grandmother lives, and it takes nearly 30 minutes for adults to walk.

  "Look, isn’t there a big stone there? Just sleep here." The place with many fingers is a graveyard, and there are two shoes left by her in the haystack. "It’s so cold."

  "Yes, this pair of shoes is a lot." Mother Li Yue’s eyes are red again. Self-reproach, guilt, the night’s suffering and the luck that finally arrived made her unable to imagine her daughter’s night’s experience, and even more made her speechless.

  A lot of safe return made many people who participated in the search and rescue shed tears.

  Fortunately, the most worrying thing didn’t happen.

  As of press time, the police have not found any suspicious people or cars entering the village, nor have they found any evidence that the girl was controlled. She should have lost herself.

  Different consumers have differences in their acceptance of new energy-powered vehicles. Some consumers value the cost of maintaining a car and are more inclined to choose pure electric models; while others are worried about the mileage anxiety of pure electric models and believe that extended-range models that can be fueled by oil and electricity are more reliable. Therefore, the launch of pure electric and extended-range models at the same time will help car companies broaden their audience and attract more potential consumers’ attention. The protagonist of today’s test drive is such a model.

  The starting performance of the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 extension version is very smooth, without abrupt acceleration. Thanks to its new Dongfeng Mach super range extension system, the power output is linear and stable, which can be on call, but not too aggressive. It is very suitable for household scenes.

  In particular, when the driving mode is adjusted to the sport mode, the vehicle’s dynamic response is faster, but in terms of somatosensory, a denser power output still brings a relatively stable acceleration experience, which may be felt by drivers who pursue an intense driving experience.

  When the accelerator pedal is released, the kinetic energy recovery system intervenes more smoothly, and there is no obvious dragging feeling. This setting helps to improve the vehicle’s endurance performance. In terms of braking, the brake pedal stroke of the vehicle is slightly longer, especially the driver may feel that the braking force is soft in the first half, especially in the case of emergency braking, the driver needs to anticipate and apply more braking force in advance. In non-emergency braking conditions, when the brake pedal stroke exceeds 1/3, the feedback becomes clear, and the braking force is uniform and linear. In this setting, the driver needs a certain amount of adaptation time.

  The chassis adjustment of the EP008 extended range version is designed to be comfortable but not lose toughness. When passing through bumpy roads or speed bumps, the suspension system can effectively absorb ground vibrations and maintain the stability of the body. At the same time, the vehicle can also maintain good stability at high speeds without fluttering.

  The steering wheel has a clear feedback and clear direction, allowing the driver to easily grasp the direction of the vehicle. However, the steering force of this car is set relatively lightly, which may affect the driver’s perception of the steering accuracy of the vehicle to some extent, especially at high speeds or when it is necessary to change lanes quickly.

  Thanks to Continental’s latest generation of EC7 ultra-quiet tires and the equipment of double-layer laminated sound insulation glass for the whole car, the eπ 008 extended-range version performs well in terms of silence, allowing drivers and passengers to enjoy a more comfortable and tranquil driving environment during driving. Especially with the WANOS panoramic sound system, whether listening to music, chatting or resting will never be disturbed by external noise.

  The side lines of the eπ 008 are smooth and dynamic, and the straight roof design with C-pillar small windows not only visually lengthens the body length, but also provides a wider view for the third-row passengers, reducing the sense of oppression. The design of the lower waist line adds a touch of agility to the side of the body, and the chrome trim strips running through the front and rear further enhance the luxury of the vehicle. The design of the hidden door handle not only enhances the overall feel of the body, but also effectively reduces the wind resistance coefficient, reaching 0.268Cd.

  Of course, the EPi 008 also faces competition from many domestic and foreign automakers of the same type. To quickly increase user loyalty and satisfaction with the brand, Dongfeng Yipai must increase publicity efforts through various channels, and also ensure that products remain competitive in a highly competitive market by continuously optimizing product performance and service experience.

Standing Committee: increase policy support such as export tax rebate to promote the steady development of foreign trade.

On April 13th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China presided over the the State Council executive meeting and decided to further increase policy support such as export tax rebate to promote the steady development of foreign trade.

Export tax rebate is a policy that is inclusive, fair and in line with international rules. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress proposed three specific measures.

First, the processing trade enterprises should refund the unrequited tax after implementing the consistent policy of collecting and refunding tax rates for export products, and allow the transferred input tax to offset the value-added tax. Export credit insurance claims are regarded as foreign exchange receipts and tax rebates are applied.

The second is to speed up the progress of tax refund, implement the whole process online, and reduce the processing time of tax refund from an average of 7 working days to 6 working days.

The third is to improve the efficiency of customs clearance for the return of export goods, formulate policies to facilitate cross-border e-commerce, give more convenience to trustworthy enterprises in customs clearance and tax refund, and severely punish fraudulent tax refund.

Zhong Huiyong, associate professor of the School of Finance of Shanghai University of International Business and Economics and deputy director of the Institute of Financial Development, told The Paper that the deduction of value-added tax can avoid the overlap of export tax rebate and value-added tax payment, and reduce the complexity of corporate tax payment. Treating export credit insurance claims as foreign exchange receipts and handling tax rebates can enable enterprises to enjoy the benefits of export tax rebate policy as soon as possible.

"Improve the flexibility of the export tax rebate policy, better reduce the burden on foreign trade enterprises, and enable foreign trade enterprises to tide over difficult times smoothly." Zhong Huiyong said that shortening the time of tax refund will enable foreign trade enterprises to get the dividends of national policies more quickly.

Zhong Huiyong also said that improving the customs clearance efficiency of export goods and the cross-border e-commerce exchange policy can reduce the worries of foreign trade enterprises and better encourage exports. At the same time, we should also avoid foreign trade enterprises and make use of favorable policies to defraud tax rebates. (Reporter Hou Jiacheng)

 

Increase knowledge! Besides eating jiaozi, you can still spend the Spring Festival like this.

  Xinhuanet Beijing, February 14th (Wang Ying) In another day, we will usher in the long-awaited 30th anniversary. With the sound of firecrackers, the whole family is round and happy. As the most grand traditional festival of the Chinese nation, how do you spend your Spring Festival? Apart from eating jiaozi on holidays, how can we make the New Year taste and recall?

  Clever hand-cut window grilles let the atmosphere of New Year flow naturally at home.

  Before the festival, many families are busy preparing new year’s goods and buying new year’s gifts. In the new year’s goods, there are inevitably some festive objects that decorate the room, such as blessing characters, window grilles and auspicious pendants of the zodiac. In fact, in the past, there was no need to buy window grilles, and many families cut and pasted them themselves. On a square inch of red paper, a jubilant image was cut out.

  "Window grilles" are commonly known as paper cutting. In the past, no matter the north or the south, stick grilles was used during the Spring Festival. Nowadays, people in the South usually only paste it when they get married, while the custom of stick grilles in the North during the Spring Festival is still prevalent in many places. Why do you want stick grilles for the Spring Festival? This is closely related to the solar terms in beginning of spring. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in his poem: "Carving gold to win the praises of Jing and customs, and cutting green to create a Jin style for people." The "Jing custom" and "Jin style" in the poem point out this origin. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the time to cut and paste window grilles to welcome the Spring Festival was changed from beginning of spring, and people used paper-cutting to express their happy mood.

  Window grilles not only set off the festive atmosphere, but also bring people beautiful enjoyment, integrating decoration, appreciation and practicality. Today, when DIY is advocated, if you are free, you might as well buy some red paper, try to cut small window grilles yourself, and decorate your home with skillful hands.

  Writing Spring Festival couplets to keep the whole family safe and happy.

  Like window grilles, in many families’ new year’s goods lists, there is also a Spring Festival couplets, and some exquisite families will also buy door gods. It’s a little more difficult for door gods to make their own self-control, but Spring Festival couplets can still try to write by themselves, which not only exercises calligraphy, but also improves the literary level.

  Like window grilles, Spring Festival couplets have a history of thousands of years. According to the records of the Jade Candle Collection and Yanjing’s Chronicle, the original form of Spring Festival couplets is what people call "Taofu". In the Song Dynasty, people began to write couplets on the mahogany board, one of which did not lose the meaning of killing evil spirits, the other expressed their good wishes, and the third decorated the portal for beauty. Later, people wrote couplets on red paper symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness, and posted them on both sides of doors and windows during the Spring Festival to express people’s good wishes for good luck in the coming year.

  In addition to Spring Festival couplets, many places also retain the custom of sticking to the door. In the folk, the door god is a symbol of righteousness and force. The ancients believed that people with strange looks often had magical temperament and extraordinary skills. They are honest and kind-hearted, and it is their nature and responsibility to catch ghosts and capture demons. Zhong Kui, the ghost hunter admired by people, is such a strange look. Because the doors of residential houses are usually two opposite, the door gods are always in pairs. After the Tang Dynasty, in addition to shentu and Yu Lei, people regarded Qin Shubao and Weichi Gong, two military commanders in the Tang Dynasty, as gatekeepers. Since then, the custom of taking these two famous men as door gods has begun to spread widely among the people.

  In the sound of firecrackers, we should say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year.

  Watching the New Year’s Eve is an important folk custom in China, also known as wasting time, staying up late, which means family reunion on New Year’s Eve and staying up late to welcome the Lunar New Year. In ancient times, there were two meanings of observing the old age: the old people’s observing the old age means "resigning the old age", which means cherishing time; Young people keep their age to prolong the life of their parents. Since the Han dynasty, the time when the old and the new years alternate is generally at midnight. On New Year’s Eve, people of all ages, men and women, will be brightly lit and get together to watch the new year.

  In the past, people used to have a New Year’s Eve dinner and spend a wonderful night together. Since the 1980 s, there has been a new content of observing the Spring Festival Gala: people all over the country watch it together. The Spring Festival Gala, which lasted more than four hours, was rich and varied, and people greeted the ringing of the New Year bell with laughter.

  It is worth mentioning that Suzhou people have to wait for the loud bell coming from Fengqiao Hanshan Temple on New Year’s Eve. When the bell passes through the dark night and reaches thousands of families, it marks the arrival of the new year. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, the bell will ring in Hanshan Temple at midnight every day, which is called "Minute Night Minute" by the people.

  On New Year’s Eve, we should give the younger generation lucky money and hope that the children will grow up healthily, safely and happily.

  For children, the happiest thing during the Spring Festival is the lucky money from the elders. Year’s money, also known as "year’s money" and "year’s money", is one of the thrifty things in the old customs. The original intention of lucky money is to ward off evil spirits. People think that children are vulnerable to sneaky attacks. If you wrap money in red paper on New Year’s Eve, you won’t dare to harass them again. Therefore, people call this kind of money "precious money". Because "precious" and "old" have the same pronunciation, they are called "lucky money" for a long time. Use lucky money to overcome evil spirits, help children celebrate the New Year safely, and wish them good health and luck in the new year.

  From the first day to the sixth day, I will pay New Year greetings, return to my parents’ homes, and "drive the five poor"

  After New Year’s Eve, people ushered in a new year. In the past, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, there were various holiday customs. With the changes of the times and the differences in different places, many customs have gradually faded away, and what remains is worth cherishing and inheriting.

  On the first day of the first month, people usually set off firecrackers after getting up in the morning, which is called "opening the door to have a firecracker". After the sound of firecrackers, the ground is full of broken red, which is called "full house red" In many areas, children have to be dressed in new clothes on the morning of the first day. After everyone is dressed neatly, they will go out to visit relatives and friends, pay New Year greetings to each other and wish the New Year. When paying New Year’s greetings, the younger generation should first pay New Year’s greetings to the elders, wishing them a long and healthy life. The elders can distribute the lucky money prepared in advance to the younger generation. In many places, brooms and garbage are not put out on the first day of the first month of the first month, and a large bucket is prepared to hold waste water, and it is not spilled on the same day.

  On the second or third day of the first month, for many families, it is the day when a married girl returns to her parents’ home with her husband, commonly known as "Welcome Husband Day". On this day, we will also visit relatives and friends and worship each other for the Spring Festival, commonly known as "eating New Year’s wine". In Shanghai, guests bring gifts to their homes with their families. Gifts are generally local specialties, and the host invites guests to drink "Yuanbao tea" (that is, two green olives are added to the tea to brew together). This tea tastes a little bitter at first, but has a sweet aftertaste, which means that it is good to make money through hard work.

  On the fourth day of the third grade, because of different local customs, there are also differences in passing the law. By the fifth day of the fifth year, people will "drive the five poor", commonly known as "breaking the five poor", including "poor in intelligence, poor in learning, poor in literature, poor in life and poor in communication". After people get up in the morning, they set off firecrackers and clean up. Firecrackers are set off from the inside out, and as they are set off, they go outside the door, which means to drive out all unlucky things. Legend has it that this day is the birthday of the god of wealth, so it is also an auspicious day to welcome the god of wealth. Shanghai has the custom of grabbing the road head in the old calendar year. On the fourth night of the first month of the first month, prepare sacrifices, cakes, incense sticks and other things, and ring gongs and drums to burn incense for worship, and sincerely respect the god of wealth. In order to compete for the market, it is called "grabbing the road head" before the fourth day, also known as "picking up the God of Wealth".

  Jiaozi still wants to eat, but jiaozi in the 30 s is very different.

  Nowadays, people are used to eating jiaozi in festivals and festivals. Although it’s nothing new to eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, jiaozi at the age of 30 is very different. When wrapping jiaozi, in addition to various delicious fillings, people often wrap candied beans, peanuts, dates, chestnuts, coins, etc., which means good luck in the coming year. In some areas, when eating jiaozi, some non-staple food should be added to show good luck. If you eat tofu, it symbolizes the happiness of the whole family; Eating persimmon symbolizes all the best; Eating three fresh vegetables symbolizes the prosperity of three yang. In addition, many areas in the south do not eat jiaozi on New Year’s Eve, but choose to eat rice cakes or glutinous rice balls. Although the ingredients are different, the good expectations for the New Year are the same.

  Why do you have to eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, especially on the eve of the Lunar New Year? In fact, eating jiaozi means "making friends at a younger age", and "zi" means "zi Shi", which is homophonic with "jiao" and means "happy reunion" and "good luck". Generally, jiaozi in the 30′ s should be wrapped before 12 o’clock in the evening and eaten at midnight, because this is the beginning of the first day of the first lunar month. Happy new year!

  Times are changing, people’s ideas are changing, and the way of celebrating the Spring Festival is also changing. Nowadays, many traditional Chinese New Year customs are gradually forgotten by people, and some new Chinese New Year style, such as family trips and flying adventures in the world of ice and snow, have become many people’s choices. It is said that the taste of the year has faded, and there is nothing more special except eating jiaozi. In fact, the taste of the year is not weak, but what is weak is our choice. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Follow these rich Chinese New Year customs and start a different kind of Chinese New Year with full atmosphere and deep connotation!

The company said that the current demand of retailers is at the highest level since 2015. DavidSimon, CEO of Simon Real Estate in the United States, said that in Las Vegas, Florida, California … … The demand of retailers is gradually picking up. "Even if something happens in the world, we haven’t seen anyone withdraw from the (lease) transaction." He said.

  According to market research firm Coresight Research, so far this year, American retailers have opened a net of 2,478 offline stores. You know, last year, American retailers only opened 68 stores. In 2019, 9,832 American retailers closed their stores and only 4,689 opened.

  Sun Xiao is currently working as a real estate investment manager in an investment management company in France, and he also feels deeply about the above phenomenon. "In Paris, offline stores such as luxury goods are long queues of consumers, which is quite similar to the situation before the epidemic."

  In an interview with China Business News, he said, "With the slowdown of epidemic prevention policy and the arrival of the tourist season, everyone’s pent-up offline demand has been released. However, it remains to be seen whether this phenomenon will continue. In the case of inflation and interest rate hikes, the real income of European and American residents in the future may be affected, and the increase in service consumption may also squeeze the demand for commodity consumption. "

  Retailers increase their efforts to open offline stores.

  In recent months, with the high inflation and the tightening of monetary policy by European and American central banks, consumer retail in Europe and America has shown a weak trend. According to the latest data released by the German Federal Statistical Office, in June, Germany’s retail sales fell by 8.8% year-on-year, the largest annual decline since records began in 1994. According to data from the US Department of Commerce, in June, US retail sales increased by 1% month-on-month. Among them, the retail sales of clothing and accessories decreased by 0.4% from the previous month.

  Simon Real Estate believes that the reason why European and American retailers open stores offline is slightly different from the macro environment is because consumers’ consumption behavior has diverged. In the context of high inflation, the enthusiasm of young consumers with relatively poor incomes may decline, which is reflected in the slowdown in sales of retailers such as Fast Fashion. However, the sales of retailers such as men’s suits continue to grow. "Consumers with relatively high incomes are still spending money." Simon said.

  This phenomenon is also supported by the data of the recent luxury goods earnings season. In the first half of this year, Hermes’ revenue increased by 23%, LVMH’s revenue increased by 21% and kering’s revenue increased by 16%. Generally speaking, luxury goods are mostly sold offline. The above luxury brands said that their sales in Europe and the United States have increased substantially. With the arrival of the tourist season, the euro has weakened, and luxury stores in Paris and Milan are now crowded with American tourists who come to "sweep the goods".

  Zhang Yi, CEO of Ai Media Consulting, said in an interview with the First Financial Reporter that during the epidemic, many European and American governments provided more "stimulus checks" to the people through financial and monetary policies. At present, European and American consumers, especially middle-and high-income consumers, still accumulate more savings, which is the main reason to support the above-mentioned middle-and high-end consumption.

  According to Moody’s rating agency, as of May, the total excess savings of American residents was about 2.5 trillion US dollars, accounting for more than 10% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP)..The agency found that compared with the middle and high income groups, the residents with the lowest income of 20% were one of the few groups that did not use their savings in the first quarter.

  Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, said in the middle and late July that the savings accumulated by households in the region during the epidemic and the strong labor market are supporting consumption in the region.

  Douglas Healey, senior executive vice president of Macerich leasing business, also said that another reason for promoting the expansion of offline stores is that Europe and the United States have gradually loosened epidemic prevention policies, the restoration of tourism has arrived, and the consumption scene is gradually returning from online to offline. For example, sports brands such as Fabletics and AloYoga, shoemakers and furniture chain stores are all seeking to expand their business by opening physical stores.

  Sun Xiao also believes that although consumption in France is becoming increasingly online, the commercial value of offline stores cannot be ignored. Stores can provide advertising and offline experience, and retailers’ online image can also be improved by visiting physical stores. In the process of offline shopping, physical stores can reduce delivery costs and enhance consumers’ brand awareness of stores, which makes up for the lack of only online consumption scenarios.

  A study by Nielsen, a market research organization, also found that online channels are an important means to compare prices, research new products and find physical stores. But in addition, other factors are often ignored, which limits the possibility of maximizing the use of these physical channels by merchants to realize the complementarity of online and offline channels.

  Is it possible for consumers to keep returning to the offline?

  Macerich said that the company recently conducted a survey of about 30 largest tenants in the country and found that about 90% of the tenants have not changed their plans to open new stores this year. URW also said that its rent collection rate in the third quarter reached 88%, and the most difficult period may have passed.

  According to a report released by Forrester2, a market research organization, if 2020 is the outbreak year of online retail in the United States, then 2021 is the outbreak year of offline retail in the United States, and the growth rate of online retail sales will gradually fall back to the pre-epidemic level in the future. It is estimated that by 2027, the total retail sales in the United States will reach 5.5 trillion US dollars, and the total offline retail sales will reach 3.9 trillion US dollars.

  However, in Zhang Yi’s view, there are many challenges that restrict consumers in Europe and America from returning to the tropic of cancer in the future. One of the major factors is that with the gradual slowdown of epidemic prevention policies, service consumption is gradually increasing, which may squeeze consumers’ demand for commodity consumption.

  In the hotel industry, Airbnb recently said that the continued high booking price helped the company achieve strong revenue in the second quarter. From April to June, the company’s revenue reached $2.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25%. Among them, the number of overnight and experience bookings on the platform reached 103.7 million. Airbnb expects that the revenue in the third quarter will reach the highest level in history. Earlier this week, the hotel giant Marriott Group reported a 70% year-on-year increase in revenue in the second quarter. Last week, the performance of Hilton Hotels Group also exceeded expectations.

  In the aviation industry, in the second quarter of this year, the parent company of British Airways — — International Aviation Group (IAG) announced its first profit since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic. Air France-KLM, one of the three major European airlines, also announced that its operating profit in the second quarter reached 386 million euros, an increase of 1.139 billion euros over last year. The performance data released by the three major airlines in the United States in the second quarter and the first half of the year show that the revenue and profit rate of the above companies in a single quarter are all record.

  But behind this prosperity, there are also hidden concerns. Sun Xiao told the First Financial Reporter that inflation in Europe and America is high at present, and it is still possible for the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank to adopt more radical monetary tightening policies in the future, which will hit demand. Specifically in the field of consumption, this will be reflected in the impact of residents’ income and the decline in consumption power, which will likely drag down the sales of offline retail.

  O’Hearn, CEO of Macerich (; Hern) also believes that inflation, rising interest rates and the situation in Ukraine are bringing uncertainty to the economic environment.

  According to data from retail analysis company Placer.ai, in June, American people’s visits to the outlet center decreased by 6.7%. According to the agency’s analysis, the reason is that the price of gasoline in the United States continues to rise, and residents drive too long to the outlet. Everyone is reluctant to go to the shopping center because they want to save fuel.

  Recently, Fed officials have intensively released "hawkish" remarks. Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Fed, said that the Fed’s fight against inflation is "far from complete", which indicates that interest rates will continue to rise. He also said that the major interest rate hikes this year do not mean that the Fed will gradually slow down the pace of interest rate hikes. Loretta Mester, president of Cleveland Fed, and Charles Evans, president of Chicago Fed, said on the same day that the United States may still adopt a relatively tight monetary policy until inflation cools down.
