What new European and American dramas are worth seeing this year?

Although there are still more than 100 days before the end of the year, TV Guide, an old American TV weekly, has published an inventory of The Best New TV Shows of 2021. According to this article, this is called reviewing the past and learning the new.

TV Guide is the most popular TV weekly in the United States. Founded in 1953, it has 50 million family subscribers in the United States, and it has become almost a weekly necessity for every family. The first broadcast time of this new drama is limited to January to July this year, and the broadcast platform covers the traditional TV giant CBS to the emerging streaming media Netflix and Hulu. In the words of Tim Julie, the author of this article, he only chooses the best.

Let’s take a look at the selection of "TV Guide" and see if it meets everyone’s taste.

July

The Pursuit of Love (the pursuit of love)

The BBC three-episode drama "Chasing Love" is broadcast on Amazon in the United States, and the online time is July 30.

Adapted from Nancy mitford’s novel of the same name, the play is the first part of a trilogy (the last two are Love in Winter and Don’t Tell Alfred). It tells the story of a British upper-class family, the ——Radlett family, during World War I and World War II. The story focuses on their daughter Linda and her cousin Fanny. Both of them were occupied by love and marriage at first and were actively looking for the ideal other half. When Fanny decided to calm down, Linda still followed her heart. First, she fell in love with a stuffy Tory politician, then a passionate communist, and finally fell in love with Fabrice, the Duke of France. The friendship between two people is also facing a test.

Doctor of death (Dr. Death)

It was launched on Peacock TV on July 15th.

Doctor Death tells a famous true story: Christopher Duntsch, an antisocial "killer doctor", killed and maimed 33 patients. The series is adapted from the podcast program of the same name, exploring the psychology of this anti-social killer and the bad omissions in the medical system that should protect the most helpless people.

The Bai Lianhua Resort (The White Lotus).

The play premiered on HBO on July 11th.

It is said that this is the funniest black comedy this year. The synopsis of the story is simply that people want to relax in a luxury resort in Hawaii. As a result, no one, whether employees or tourists, can find a moment of peace in this star-rated resort.

June

Blindspotting

It premiered in Starz on June 13th.

In January 2018, the absurd comedy Blind Spot (also translated as 72-hour probation) premiered at Sundance Film Festival in the United States, which was listed as the three most popular African-American movies of that year along with Black Party and Sorry to disturb.

The drama series "Blind Spot" of the same name is a derivative drama of the film. The play tells that Ashley, the heroine, used to live a middle-class life in Auckland, but after her husband Miles (one of the movie heroes) was suddenly put in prison, she and her 12-year-old son had to move in with Miles’ mother and half-sister. The selling point of this play is still mocking the ubiquitous racial discrimination in the United States.

Starstruck (make a big star)

In fact, this drama was broadcast on BBC 3 in April this year, but its online time in the United States was June 10, so it was included in the June drama by TV Guide, and the broadcaster was HBO Max.

This drama is a revelation of the "sleeping powder" chaos in the British entertainment industry-Rose, who is in her twenties, is a millennial living in London, and she has to work two jobs with no future every day; But one day Rose woke up and found herself sleeping with a movie star by mistake.

Loki ()

On June 9, it was launched on Disney Streaming Media.

Needless to say, the story of the Marvel Movie Universe (MCU) was already overwhelming in the early stage. The story followed closely Avengers: Endgame, and Loki, who took away the space gem, later encountered something "unlucky". This prankster and shapeshifter appeared in many periods of human history and influenced historical events.

Anyway, I have watched many TV dramas in Marvel Comics, and as we all know, eggs are flying all over the sky and trailers are everywhere.

"Sweet Tooth"

Antlers Boy is adapted from Jeff Lemire’s DC comic book series. Compared with the gloom of comics, the series of the same name has been adapted into a lot of sunshine.

Ten years ago, the "Great Collapse" caused a heavy blow to the world, resulting in the mysterious birth of half-man, half-beast babies. Humans don’t know whether these hybrids are the source of the virus or infected people, and they are afraid to start searching for them everywhere. A deer boy named Gus lived in a secluded forest for ten years, until he accidentally got to know Jeddah, who was wandering alone. Then they embarked on an extraordinary adventure. They wanted to cross the devastated United States to find answers to many questions-Gus’s life, Jeddah’s past and the true meaning of home. Along the way, they met many unexpected allies and enemies, and Gus soon learned that the world outside the forest was charming and dangerous, which was much more complicated than he had imagined.

May

《Flatbush Misdemeanors》

It premiered at Showtime on May 23rd.

The Underground Railroad.

It was launched on Amazon streaming media on May 14th.

Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, the drama tells that Cora, a slave girl, is looking for the rumored "underground railway" to escape from the plantation in Georgia.

Hacks (desperate writers)

It was launched on HBO Max on May 13th.

The protagonist of the story is a dead comedy actress and her young writers. Deborah Vance is a well-known old-school comedy actress who has a regular performance in a casino in Las Vegas. She lives in a mansion served by servants, surrounded by assistants in and out, and travels by private jet. On the surface, it looks very beautiful. But in fact, Deborah’s performance is getting harder and harder to attract the audience, and there are no people around her who are eccentric.

Ava, a young comedy writer, had a fairly successful career experience, but a cross-border joke on social networks made her lose all her job opportunities in an instant. The two men have a common agent, and with the help of the agent, Ava promised to try to work as a writer for Deborah in Las Vegas. The first meeting between the two quickly turned into attacking each other with jokes, but it was for this reason that Deborah realized that Ava was a plastic talent, and their cooperation began.

Ziwe

It premiered at Showtime on May 9th.

Ziwe Fumudoh is a new generation of online celebrity in the United States, whose homonym is Ziwei in the Chinese world. She became famous for the talk show Baited broadcast on INS platform in 2020. The program Ziwei is difficult to classify, because there are both talk shows and variety shows in it, and Ziwei often uses sharp language to run on the guests present, which belongs to the kind of language that is not surprising and endless. Anyway, it was only launched in the first season, and it has been successfully renewed in the second season.

An streaming video shows that Irene was bullied by her ex-boyfriend Dylan and her current girlfriend briana on the day of her death, and Mel did not hesitate to arrest them.

Kung Fu

It premiered on the CW on April 7th.

This drama is dubbed "Shaolin Monks in America" on the Chinese Internet, but it should be called "Shaolin Nuns in America" in my opinion. This drama still inevitably has the strangeness of the West to the East. A Chinese-American sister dropped out of college and came to China Temple to look for spiritual sustenance. After returning to San Francisco, she found that her family was controlled by three societies, so she used her martial arts to protect the community and bring crimes to justice.

Economic stagnation and high inflation, how far is Europe from the abyss of negative growth | Xinjing think tank

▲ On March 18th, 2022, local time, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi met with Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, Portuguese Prime Minister Costa and Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis on energy issues. The main purpose of this meeting is to give the countries near the Mediterranean the direction of action on energy issues, and to coordinate their positions in advance for the EU Council to be held on March 24-25. Figure /IC photo

The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has disrupted the pace of European economic recovery.
On May 5, the Bank of England announced that it expects GDP growth of 0.9% in the first quarter of 2022, and GDP growth in the second quarter may be zero.
On April 29, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics announced that its GDP growth in the first quarter was zero. Italy’s National Bureau of Statistics announced that the GDP in the first quarter decreased by 0.2% from the previous quarter.
On April 22, the Bundesbank said that in the first quarter of 2022, Germany’s GDP increased by 0.2%, and the German economy has "more or less stagnated".
However, just three months ago, these European countries were still full of confidence in their economic prospects.
On February 10th, two weeks before the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the European Commission announced that the GDP growth in the euro zone is expected to reach 4.0% in 2022, and all EU countries will return to the pre-epidemic economic level by the end of 2022.
At the end of the report, valdis dombrovskis, Executive Vice President of the European Commission, predicted hopefully: "With the full implementation of economic recovery plans in all countries (from 2022), the (EU) economy will be further boosted."
The Russian-Ukrainian crisis broke this expectation.
On April 22nd, the International Monetary Fund issued a report, which revised its economic outlook data at the beginning of the year. The report lowered the forecast of world economic growth in 2022 from 4.9% to 3.6%, which is the third largest decline in the forecast adjustment of the organization in the past 15 years. The other two times correspond to the global financial crisis in 2008 and the global epidemic in early 2020.
On April 29th, Eurostat revealed that in the first quarter of 2022, the GDP in the euro zone increased by only 0.2% month-on-month, and the inflation rate in the euro zone has reached 7.5%, which is the highest value in 25 years. Among them, the increase in energy prices contributed 38% to this record inflation.

Developed economies: energy is the main channel for the spillover of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis
The impact of Russia-Ukraine crisis on developed European economies is mainly reflected in energy trade, production supply chain and consumption level.
Energy is the main channel for the spillover of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. Based on various data, more than 20 European countries have energy dependence on Russia, among which Germany, Austria and other countries account for more than 60% of their domestic supply of Russian natural gas. According to the assessment of the European Commission, under the current sanctions against Russia, the global LNG supply capacity cannot meet the demand of Europe.
Germany’s natural gas storage level in May was about 34.2%, which was more than 11% lower than its average level in previous years. Natural gas power generation in the month also decreased by 5.4% year-on-year. During the first quarter, German fuel prices rose by about 20%.
Another serious impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the regional economy is reflected in the supply chain. According to the analysis of the international shipping network, in March and April this year, container shipping companies raised the fees such as "container comprehensive rate surcharge" and "fuel surcharge" respectively, and the increase in international shipping prices is likely to rise by 50%. According to the German Statistics Bureau, as of April this year, about 79% of industrial enterprises in Germany reported that their supply chains had been "significantly affected", and 36% of them said that their supply chains had been "seriously interrupted".
European countries are facing record high inflation because of the rising energy prices and the blocked supply chain. At the end of the first quarter, German inflation reached 7.6%. Since the end of World War II, Germany has experienced this level of inflation only during the oil crisis in the 1970s and the reunification of Germany in the 1990s. Domestic experts pointed out that if the crisis continues to expand, Germany’s inflation rate will increase by 2.3 percentage points on the existing basis.
On April 21st, Eurostat released data, and the inflation rate in the Netherlands reached 11.7% in March, the highest level since 1975. On April 29th, INSEE announced that its inflation rate would reach 4.8%, the highest in France since 1980s. On May 5th, the Bank of England issued a warning that the inflation rate in Britain may exceed 10% this year, and raised interest rates to 1% to deal with inflation. The last time Britain rose to this level, it was the global financial crisis in 2009.
▲ On March 29th, 2022, a man refueled his vehicle at a gas station in Brussels, Belgium. The World Bank released a report on April 26th, saying that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine had a "great impact" on the commodity market and changed the global trade, production and consumption patterns. Figure/Xinhua News Agency
In addition, the Russian-Ukrainian crisis has also affected regional export trade. In March, EU exports fell by 5.6%, while imports fell by 3.4%. Compared with February, Germany’s trade with Russia decreased by 62.3%, about 900 million euros, accounting for about 22% of its total trade decline.
According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund, major European economies such as Germany, France and Italy may experience negative growth in 2022.
Strong growth in a few countries: excess returns under global inflation
As of May 7th, among more than 30 European countries that have released some economic data for the first quarter, Portugal and Austria are the most outstanding economies. On April 29th, Vienna Economic Research Institute evaluated Austria’s economy as "strong growth" in the new year, with GDP increasing by 2.5% in the first quarter. The Portuguese National Bureau of Statistics announced on the same day that its GDP increased by 2.6% in the first quarter.
Based on the information released by the two countries at present, the two countries have a common feature: under the background of global inflation, their pillar industries have gained excess returns because they have not been greatly negatively affected.
According to the Austrian central bank, its pillar industries are developing well at present: the growth rate of the construction industry will remain at 6% in the first two months of 2022, and its industrial production will increase by more than 11% during the major categories.
Taking the aluminum processing industry as an example, Austrian bauxite imports from China, Germany, India, Guyana, etc., because it is distributed across Asia, Europe and America, and far away from conflict areas, its downstream supply is not greatly affected.
According to the report released by Portuguese oil and gas company Galp Energia on May 3rd, the adjusted profit in the first quarter increased fivefold compared with the same period of last year, reaching 155 million euros, because the global crude oil price soared to the highest level in the past 14 years.

Emerging economies face difficulties such as trade, refugees and capital outflow.

For the emerging European economies located in Eastern Europe, apart from the impact of high inflation and supply shortage, they also suffer from the negative impact of regional trade obstruction, refugee influx and capital outflow.
In March, the inflation rate in Serbia reached 9.1%. According to Eurostat data, Lithuania (15.6%), Estonia (14.8%) and the Czech Republic (11.9%) are also facing serious inflation crisis, and the inflation rates of these countries have reached double digits.
As far as energy supply is concerned, there may be trade and even legal disputes between Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria and other countries that are highly dependent on Russian natural gas.
On April 27th, Russia announced that it would suspend the supply of natural gas to Bulgaria and Poland. On the 28th, the Bulgarian Prime Minister said that the Bulgarian government was reviewing its agreement to supply natural gas to a third country, implying that it would intercept the natural gas originally supplied to Serbia and Hungary. According to malkovich, an energy expert from Deloitte, once this happens, Bulgaria will face lawsuits, but Serbia will be out of gas. At present, its inventory can only meet the demand of 20 days to one month.
Some European countries are still suffering from the impact of refugee flows. According to UNHCR, at present, 5.75 million refugees have fled Ukraine, with a total scale exceeding that of Syrian refugees since 2015. The countries most affected are Poland (3.08 million), Romania (840,000) and Hungary (530,000).
In addition, according to the data of Emerging Portfolio Fund Research (EPFR), in the first five weeks of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the capital of emerging European countries flowed out at a rate of $300 million per week. According to Bank of America, as of March 18, the global emerging market debt fund had only 14.3 billion US dollars, half of the same period in 2021.
Blocked trade in energy and other commodities, high inflation, refugees and capital outflow are not all the problems faced by the European economy since the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.
In the short term, high inflation will aggravate the risk of social unrest in European countries, especially in Central European countries that host a large number of refugees. The soaring defense budget will further increase the financial pressure of governments.
In the long run, if the global energy trade supply chain, global payment network, countries’ reserve currencies and investment orientations change more substantially under the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, I am afraid it will take a more independent and stronger Europe to gain an advantage in these uncertain games.

  Chatting at home while wrapping jiaozi, the general secretary said that his family also loves to wrap fennel stuffing. "You see, the more packages, the better. Our life is the same, the better! "

  On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2017, by the kitchen stove of the villagers’ home in Desheng Village, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, the general secretary held chopsticks in one hand and a colander in the other, and fried golden rice cakes. The sweet smell of rice cakes is tangy, and the smell of oil rises with the festive taste of the year.

  △ On February 5th, people bought special food at the Yellow River Market in Lanzhou, Gansu.

  Preparing new year’s goods is the "highlight" of Chinese New Year in Chinese. If you have enough new year’s goods, the flavor of the year will naturally be strong.

  From Xilinhot Aimin Community Supermarket in Inner Mongolia to Kunming New Year Shopping Expo in Yunnan, and then to the specialty store of Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi … … In recent years, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader often visited markets, supermarkets and shops before the Spring Festival to check the market supply, supply and marketing of new year’s goods, price operation and so on.

  During the Spring Festival this year, many ancient towns in Shanghai were decorated with lanterns to welcome the Spring Festival, and long queues formed at the "time-honored" food stores. In the "Mihua Street" in Benzhuang Town, Tongren, Guizhou, fried rice flowers, which mean happiness and beauty, and happy reunion, make the air filled with sweet fragrance … …

  People are savoring the taste of China in the sweet, soft, delicious and spicy new year’s goods.

  There is the charm of traditional culture in the taste of the year.

  Pingyao, Shanxi, read Spring Festival couplets, enjoy lanterns, visit the intangible cultural heritage market and watch the social fire tour … … The "Year of China" event kicked off, and guests from all over the world enjoyed the charm of the ancient city.

  △ As the Spring Festival approaches, red lanterns are hung high on the main street of Pingyao Ancient City in Jinzhong, Shanxi. On the ancient street full of Shanxi merchants’ culture, the prosperous and lively flavor of the year came to my face.

  Two years ago, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to this "living ancient city" to inspect the features of the ancient city along the streets, and went into Pingyao Beef Shop, Tuiguang Lacquerware Shop and Donghu Old Vinegar Shop to learn about the protection, utilization and characteristic management of local cultural heritage.

  In the lacquer shop, all kinds of push-light lacquerware are dazzling and colorful. Elements such as "two dragons playing with pearls" and "dragon and phoenix becoming auspicious" add a festive atmosphere to the New Year.

  "Better carry forward China’s excellent traditional culture, better serve economic and social development and people’s high-quality life", in the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, culture is an important factor to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life.

  Nadam is a national characteristic activity deeply loved by Mongolian people. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2014, at the traditional blessing ceremony, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader dipped his ring finger in fresh milk in a silver bowl and played it three times in accordance with Mongolian customs, wishing the coming year a good weather, prosperous animals and happy people.

  △ In January 2014, on the occasion of the Spring Festival of the Lunar Year of the Horse, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Inner Mongolia to visit and express condolences to the cadres and masses of all ethnic groups and extend sincere New Year wishes to the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country.

  In January, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into the Wa village of Mora, Zhongzhai Si, three village, Qingshui Town, Tengchong City, Yunnan Province. In the square, the villagers danced a cheerful Wa dance. According to local customs, the General Secretary rang three Wa wooden drums to wish the coming year a good weather, a peaceful country and a peaceful people.

  "During the Spring Festival, all localities can hold more cultural activities that the masses like to see and hear, making the festival more festive and cheerful." During this visit to Tianjin, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader specifically told him.

  There are traditional techniques such as Latin films and acrobatic cross talk, and there are also small stalls selling fried enema and candied haws … … During the Spring Festival this year, Beijing fully resumed traditional temple fairs, which activated many unique Spring Festival memories of old Beijing.

  In Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the Museum of Cross-Lake Bridge Ruins launched augmented reality technology service, which allows visitors to explore the life of the ancestors here 8,000 years ago.

  In Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Cuisine Culture Experience Museum tries to restore the ancient dishes described in the Tang poems of Han Fu, so that guests can appreciate the "rhyme" of traditional cuisine … …

  Inheriting the genes of Chinese excellent traditional culture, the cultural flavor of the Spring Festival comes from the depths of history, with endless string songs and endless life.

  In the flavor of the year, there is a warm feeling of wishing a beautiful life together.

  "Touching people, don’t worry about love first."

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once said with deep affection: "Today’s society is changing rapidly. People forget to eat and sleep for their work and run around for their livelihood, but we must not forget the true feelings of the world, cut them off in a long distance, forget them in our daily busy life, and ignore them in our day-to-day struggle."

  The mellow culture of the Spring Festival provides a spiritual dwelling place for the dream-chasers who are running. The arrival of the Year of China has also brought every Chinese closer together.

  More than two months ago, when visiting the home of the new era urban builders and managers in Minhang District, Shanghai, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader carefully entrusted that "the city should not only have height, but also have temperature".

  These days, the home of urban builders and managers is warm and harmonious. In the shared kitchen, Ms. Zhang served steaming jiaozi. Strugglers from all corners of the country and in all walks of life are sitting around eating jiaozi and having fun.

  △ Everyone is in jiaozi in the City House.

  "This is my first time to welcome the Spring Festival with so many strange friends. I feel like a family member when I get along. It’s unforgettable, and my hometown is also my hometown!" Ms. Zhang can’t hide her joy.

  The human touch is there, and the taste of the year is there.

  In Yuehe Village, Fengxian District, Shanghai, there is an "old tradition" that lasted for seven years — — Every Laba, the two cauldrons in the farmer’s club keep thumping. Laba porridge was sent to the homes of the elderly by volunteers as soon as it was out of the pot, bringing them New Year greetings.

  △ Live connection of "Village Night" in Linfen, Shanxi and Fenghuang, Hunan.

  In Miao Village of La ‘ershan Town, Fenghuang County, Hunan Province, four "post-90 s" Miao boys formed a band to run their own "village night", which was small in scale and sang the hometown of fire; Villagers in Linfen, Shanxi Province used dustpans and soybeans as musical instruments, accompanied by suona and the majestic gongs and drums of Jinnan, which were not left behind, to broadcast live to Miao township thousands of kilometers away, and the North-South Grand Gala released unique excitement, attracting nearly 8 million online viewers … …

  Crowded stations and airports, happy and peaceful lights, and happy expressions of purchasing new year’s goods … … Chinese’s inheritance of New Year’s culture has never changed, and his feelings for his home country are getting deeper and deeper.

  △ "Non-legacy loong" lamp group at Zigong Lantern Festival in Sichuan

  The Spring Festival, an ancient festival, is bearing the cultural genes and emotional needs of Chinese for thousands of years, and it is showing a vigorous atmosphere of the times.

  The fireworks in the world are flourishing in the year of China. In the thick flavor of the New Year, we see a vibrant and steaming China.

It’s true! You can really smell the "smell of class", and the harder you work, the worse you stink.

It is no longer news that part-time jobs can make people ugly.
Before, it was nothing more than haggard and overworked, and I was committed to giving people a visual shock of "tired ugliness" in my face.
But! Who would have thought that even a veteran worker who has experienced many battles and mastered changing his makeup may be persecuted by his work and betrayed by the smell it brings:
Pāng to work is not only the best way to cure ugliness, but also makes people stink. Jianghu people say:
"Tired and smelly"
1、There is a kind of work-related injury called "fatigue odor"
Fatigue and odor were first used to describe a mental state in which people who go to work are slightly dead and full of life-shrinking force.
Figure | Lilac Doctor
After a netizen became one of them, he posted a story about his "three big stinks of fatigue" after staying up late:
Smelly head, mouth and feet.
Figure | |Irasutoya
This complaint sent the word "tired and smelly" to a hot search, and countless netizens echoed it.
They claimed that they once smelled an indescribable smell on their colleagues or partners.
Toilet smell, rotten eggs smell, urine smell … In short, it stinks.
What is even more mysterious is that it seems to be absent and stinks-some people can smell it, but others can’t.
Just like a person may have bad breath, body odor and foot odor, but he doesn’t know it. Almost no netizen thinks that he has had the so-called fatigue odor.
Another group of people, however, insisted that they had smelled this special odor, and it was quite strong, and it really went from the nasal cavity to the oral cavity and straight to the crown of the skull.
People can’t help but sigh: boy, it turns out that the taste of class is not rhetoric, but a real reference.
Figure | |Irasutoya
This phenomenon cannot be rudely attributed to nonsense.
In fact, there have been a lot of similar studies in the scientific community. People or dogs will react differently when they smell the human body in different states.
However, most of the situations involved in these studies are related to "diseases".
In an unhealthy state, the human body may emit special volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
For example, diabetics usually release acetone with rotten apples, while patients with liver diseases usually release ammonia.
Or aging, constipation, the former is often said that "the old man stinks."
Isn’t it the vast territory of body odor, and even going to work is one of the factors that induce it to emit a special taste?
2. There is a scientific basis for the taste of class.
Good people, why do they stink?
A popular "folk saying" is that Banwei is actually an "ammonia" flavor.
Figure | Short video screenshot
Academic circles don’t quite agree with this.
On the one hand, there is little relationship between fatigue and lack of sleep, and there is no strong correlation between them.
On the other hand, working overtime and staying up late will not cause such obvious abnormalities in visceral function.
Fatigue odor is not a rigorous scientific term, but it does have some potential mechanisms in science. At present, the more reasonable explanation is related to stress.
Among them, the most fully studied is "stress sweating".
Figure | Network
Stress makes people sweat, so needless to say.
As early as the Stone Age, under high pressure, human beings would dilate capillaries, release norepinephrine, activate sweat glands, and make their hands and feet sweat.
From the evolutionary point of view, this is to deal with the threat of intruders, help grasp and avoid slipping when fleeing.
Figure | References
But what few people know is that the sweat caused by stress will be thicker than the sweat produced by exercise.
After it reacts with bacteria on the skin, the odor will be stronger and more obvious.
A well-known experiment in this field is the evaluation of body odor under pressure-induced interviews.
The experimental results showed that the subjects released a specific smell under the pressure induction. Moreover, the more intense the sympathetic nerve activity and the higher the mental tension, the stronger the unique smell it emits.
On the contrary, no specific gas was found in the skin gas samples collected by the subjects during cycling.
Simply put, this special smell is caused by psychological changes of tension and stress.
Olfactory experts identified it as a "smell similar to fried leeks".
Netizens ridiculed it as "corpse odor."
Corresponding to the stalk of "dark circles are actually dead spots"
More studies have found that stress can also directly change people’s body odor.
The legendary "crushed by work" is visualized at this moment-it has been marinated at work.
Figure | Cleveland Clinic. "Body Odor." Cleveland Clinic, 4 Mar. 2022.
In addition to increasing sweating, it will enhance sweat odor.
Mental stress, but also let the skin oil secretion more exuberant, let you send out oil smell:
The HPA axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis) is over-active, and the release level of adrenocorticotropic hormone increases, which makes sebum overflow the skin and produce sticky oily odor after decomposition and oxidation by bacteria.
Less saliva and more obvious bad breath;
Under pressure, the less saliva produced by salivary glands, the more VOCs produced in the mouth.
If you snore when you sleep, people around you may smell it more clearly when you open your mouth.
Figure | |Irasutoya
Anyway, when I was young, I thought that Gan Kun had not decided that you and I were both dark horses. After work, I found out that you and I were both cattle and horses.
This is the class-flavored version of "My life is oily, but I am not oily".
Dare to go to school to go to work is a process from "entry" to "taste".
What’s that smell? The smell of being destroyed by work!
3, a small tip to go to class.
I strongly recommend that you try.
It’s normal to get tired and smelly occasionally, but if you continuously smell the strange smell from your body, be careful!
Although body odor is not a disease, it is a signal to remind you whether there are other health problems.
If you are in a state of physical and mental suffering for a long time, strict assessment mechanism, competitive relationship of survival of the fittest, leading PUA, intensive deadline…… … toxic pressure will make metabolism abnormal and increase the risk of chronic diseases through oxidative damage and telomere shortening.
In turn, let your skin emit more special VOCs, forming a smelly closed loop of "the more smelly, the less healthy-the less healthy, the more smelly".
Figure | Lilac Doctor
But don’t worry too much!
Because most netizens mentioned that the so-called "smelling a special smell" is actually just because the cleaning work of the parties has not been done.
Going to work is hard and tiring. Going to work will really make people lose their heart and become lazy in washing their hair, bathing and washing clothes.
After all, even cats spend time licking their hair every day, but cows and horses may be too busy to wash their faces and lie down to sleep.
Being squeezed by work to clean up (whether cleaning yourself or your room) is an important reason why many migrant workers stink.
Catch up with all-night overtime, and "confined space" has become another link that aggravates the odor.
Imagine being in the company all night, when the air conditioner stops and the doors and windows close, you would stink.
You are the canned herring in the working world!
Figure | Lilac Doctor
If you want to get rid of the fatigue smell at work, it’s not all there is to do-learn and pressure stripping.
The simplest thing is to take a shower when you get home from work.
The study found that bathing can not only wash away your bad smell, but also effectively help relieve stress, double debuff, and make you fragrant and relaxed.
Don’t bring the pressure of going to work home, let the leaders know what it means to spend money on bananas, only monkeys can be invited.
"If you want to hire a curly and fragrant urban servant, that’s another price."
Figure | Lilac Doctor
Of course, the premise of all this is that you have gaps and job separation, and you don’t have to work overtime in the company to catch up with your performance, or you have to do PPT when you get home.
If you can only stand by with your mobile phone on for 24 hours, you can only comfort yourself: cattle and horses! There is nothing that doesn’t stink!
When the world is a huge smelly car, you and I are the drivers of the online car. In order to make money, it is smelly and not shabby.

Releasing the hard core force of traffic, a high-speed "artery" injects new kinetic energy into Hangzhou-Ningbo "dual engine"

  Caoejiang Bridge in Hangshao Section of Hangshao-Ningbo Expressway

  Economic development, traffic first. If the "Tale of Two Cities" between Hangzhou and Ningbo is a combination of two swords with complementary advantages and strong alliance, then traffic construction is an indispensable prerequisite for the two cities to realize the connection of mind, blood and strength.

  Seen from a larger perspective, A Tale of Two Cities in Hangzhou and Ningbo not only complements each other’s advantages, but also magnifies each other’s advantages. One of the unique advantages of Hangzhou, which has been selected as one of the national key cities to build an international comprehensive transportation hub, is that it echoes with Ningbo, which is an international gateway comprehensive transportation hub. Ningbo was born in the sea and prospered because of Hong Kong, and Zhoushan Port’s cargo throughput ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years. Whether it is to build an international transportation hub or to achieve the goal of a modern international metropolis, Hangzhou cannot do without the full support of Ningbo’s maritime advantages.

  Then the significance of Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo Expressway and Hangzhou-Ningbo double track is not only the decomposition of traffic pressure and even the interconnection between the two cities, but also that they are the "sea passage" for Hangzhou to go global.

  Commuting to work has been shortened from one and a half hours to 45 minutes, and the business of delivering goods only twice a day has been increased to three times. There is no need to sleep in a dangerous goods car for the card point at high speed … The Hangzhou-Shaoxing section project of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway and the first phase project of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, which were opened simultaneously on January 19 this year, have not only continuously narrowed the distance between Hangzhou and Ningbo, but also connected the public opinion and urban resources of the two places. After more than three months of operation, the spillover effect brought by infrastructure interconnection is also accelerating.

  The traffic hardcore strength of a high-speed "artery" is gradually released in the great article of singing "A Tale of Two Cities" in Hangzhou and Ningbo and doing a good job of dislocation and coordinated development!

  The "burden reduction" effect of the diversion of the new expressway in Shuangcheng is becoming more and more obvious.

  Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1996, has been one of the busiest expressways in Zhejiang Province. The opening of Hangzhou-Shaoxing section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway and the first phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway double-track provide a new choice for the communication between Hangzhou and Ningbo. After more than three months of operation, the diversion effect of the new expressway is becoming increasingly apparent.

  Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo Expressway starts from Nanyang Street, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, passes through Hangzhou Xiaoshan District, Qiantang District, Shaoxing Keqiao District, Binhai New Area and Shangyu District eastward, and finally reaches the junction of Shangyu and Yuyao, with a length of 52.8 kilometers. There are 6 high-speed toll stations along the line. The reporter came to the saddle toll station of Hangzhou-Shaoyong Expressway yesterday. As can be seen from the background data, the total traffic of the saddle station was 35,000 vehicles in January, and it has reached 120,000 vehicles in April, which has doubled. "The total flow of saddle station is not the highest on the whole line, but the effect of diversion is also fully shown in the data." Zheng Pingwei, deputy director of Shaoxing Toll Center of Zhejiang Communications Group, said that in the first few days, more than 300 vehicles entered and exited a day, and now there are about 3,600 vehicles a day, which has increased tenfold. During this "May Day" period, the total traffic in five days was 32,705 vehicles, with an average daily traffic of 6,541 vehicles. According to the data from Zhejiang Communications Group, since the opening of this expressway on January 19 this year, the total import and export traffic has exceeded 1.6 million vehicles as of May 1.

  Maan toll gate

  According to the data of Ningbo Management Center of Zhejiang Communications Group Expressway, the first phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, which was opened to traffic simultaneously with Hangzhou-Shaoxing section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, has been in operation for more than three months, and the total import and export flow has exceeded 2.88 million vehicles. This expressway is divided into east and west sections, which are connected by Shenhai Expressway, from Xiaocao ‘e in Yuyao to Zhaobaoshan in Zhenhai. As an important landmark project to sing a tale of two cities in Hangzhou and Ningbo, the first phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway is connected with Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge and Jintang Bridge in Zhoushan Continental Link Island Project, and its opening to traffic has obviously eased the pressure on the original traffic outlets.

  How happy is it to get on the highway at home?

  Zhu Minchun, who lives in Xiaoshan, is an employee of Hengyi Logistics, a company near Ma ‘an Toll Station. Before Ma ‘an Station was opened to traffic, his daily commute time was one and a half hours, because he needed to bypass Ke Qiao Toll Station to get in and out of the expressway, and this detour was 40 minutes. Today, it only takes him 45 minutes to get from home to work, and the happiness of commuting has increased exponentially.

  Chen Yewei, a toll collector at Ma ‘an Station, told Ji that there are many people who commute across the city like Zhu Minchun in Ma ‘an. There are a large number of textile and printing and dyeing enterprises here, and the number of employees is quite large. According to the background data of the toll station, about 350 cars come and go regularly in the morning and evening commuting time every day.

  "Running high-speed delivery now can save me at least one-third of the time!" Chen Bo, a truck driver of a machinery technology company in Ningbo, said.

  Since the first phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway was officially opened to traffic, Chen Bo has made more than 220 round trips at Longshan and Cixi toll stations. Compared with the complicated transportation scheme of bypassing Lingfeng Road and Zhongheng Line before, now it takes only 30 minutes for Chen Bo to reach the delivery point. I used to run back and forth at most 2 times a day, but now I can run back and forth at least 3 times a day.

  The reporter learned that after the first phase of the Ningbo section of the Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway was opened to traffic, many towns and villages along Zhenhai, Cixi and Yuyao were connected to the expressway network for the first time: residents in Longshan Town, Laipu Town, xinpu town Town and Andong Town all got on the expressway at their doorstep.

  Revolutionary logistics improves efficiency and reduces costs for enterprises.

  All the way to prosperity, but the first thing I feel is the logistics industry.

  Hangzhou section of Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo Expressway is a viaduct erected on the Red 15 th Line, with Xiaoshan District and Qiantang District as the most densely populated logistics areas on both sides of the road. There are many chemical fiber enterprises and logistics companies along Shaoxing section. This high-speed opening to traffic has enabled logistics enterprises along the line to realize the vision of "high speed at the door of the company".

  Shaoxing Toll Center has arranged logistics enterprises around it. For example, Binhai Lane Logistics Base has 12 logistics companies, including Fubon Freight, Guangjie Logistics and Hechang Logistics, with a daily throughput of about 5300 tons. There are more than 30 logistics enterprises in Jiya Logistics Base Park. The daily shipment is about 100 tons. These logistics enterprises used to take the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, and the inevitable congestion has always been the most troublesome thing for drivers. "In the future, not only will there be one more high-speed choice, but more importantly, the efficiency will be improved and the cost will be reduced. Drivers also highly praised the driving experience of the new high speed. " The investigator said.

  Revolutionary logistics has also achieved efficiency improvement and cost reduction for enterprises. For example, many enterprises on both sides of the Cao ‘e River have related businesses. In the past, they could only reach each other by bypassing the two ends of the river, which took about 40 minutes. After the opening of Ma ‘an Station, from Ma ‘an Station to Shaoxing North Station, it was directly reduced from the original 40 minutes to 5 minutes. Greatly reduced the cost of time and money.

  It is worth mentioning that for the logistics of some special goods, the significance of convenient transportation lies not only in the time cost, but also in the safety factor. The distribution point of hazardous chemicals transport vehicles in Ma ‘an is located at the crossing of Xingbin Road. As the parking point of hazardous chemicals vehicles in Ma ‘an Industrial Zone, it is only 1.2 kilometers away from Ma ‘an toll station. However, before Ma ‘an Station was opened to traffic, it took the driver master 40 minutes to bypass the Ke Qiao toll station on the expressway.

  By the end of 2024, the new expressway is expected to go directly from Hangzhou to Ningbo.

  Enlarging the map on the navigation software, we can see that there is still a section of the route between the Hangzhou-Shaoyong section of the Hangzhou-Shaoyong Expressway and the first phase of the Ningbo section of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, which means that it has not been opened yet. At present, taking this new expressway from Hangzhou cannot go straight to Ningbo.

  The reporter learned that this "gray" section is the second phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway double-track under construction, starting from the junction of Shangyu in Yuyao in the west and Simen Town in Yuyao in the east, and connecting with Xiaocao ‘e in Ciyu Expressway. At present, the civil engineering unit of the second phase of the Ningbo section of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway double-track works in three shifts, and pays close attention to the finishing work; The bid winner of the pavement has entered the site and actively carried out the preliminary technical preparations.

  Construction site of the second phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway

  "More than 70% of the overall project has been completed, and it is expected that the pavement construction of the experimental section will be started in June. The second phase of the main line will strive to be completed by the end of 2024. " Dai Jian, director of the second phase supervision office of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track line, said. After the second phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway is opened to traffic, the Hangzhou-Shaoyong section of Hangzhou-Shaoyong expressway and the first phase of Ningbo section of Hangzhou-Ningbo double-track expressway will be connected in series, and the whole expressway will basically take shape.

  After the project is opened to traffic, the traffic pressure on Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway will be effectively alleviated, the time from Hangzhou to Ningbo will be greatly shortened, and the one-hour traffic circle will really take shape. The communication between the two places will be greatly increased, and the resource sharing and economic complementarity will also be accelerated, which is of great significance for promoting the development of Hangzhou Bay urban agglomeration and industrial belt, and accelerating the construction of Zhejiang Marine Economic Development Demonstration Zone and Greater Bay Area.

  In the future, after the new expressway is fully completed, it will also connect Xiaoshan International Airport and Zhoushan Port in Ningbo. With the blessing of the integration and complementary development of the two gateway hubs of "airport and seaport" in Zhejiang, the south bank of Hangzhou Bay will take off again and the "runway" has been paved.

What changes will happen in the era of big data?

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 27th (Reporter Wang Xiaojie, Guo Yujing, Yang Hongtao) This year’s government work report proposes to "promote the wide application of big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things." The 13 th Five-Year Plan outlines the implementation of big data as a major strategy. The people have already felt the surge of "big data". Before and after the Spring Festival, various big data such as consumption, travel, tourism, medical care and finance were released intensively, which provided the basis for the people’s "decision-making".

"Big data" has become a "high-frequency word" in today’s society. Experts believe that its revolutionary significance lies in providing a brand-new tool for people’s cognition, judgment and decision-making. It will change the government’s operation and supervision mode, boost economic restructuring and make people’s lives more convenient.

What is big data?

Big data is changing the world increasingly profoundly. So, what is big data?

[definition]The Action Plan for Promoting the Development of Big Data issued by the State Council on August 31, 2015 defines big data as a data collection with large capacity, various types, fast access speed and high application value, which is rapidly developing into a new generation of information technology and service formats that collect, store and analyze data with huge quantity, scattered sources and diverse formats, and discover new knowledge, create new value and enhance new capabilities.

The outline also pointed out that the convergence of information technology and economy and society has triggered the rapid growth of data, and data has become a national basic strategic resource.

[Interpretation]Jiang Qiping, secretary general of the Information Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that two characteristics of big data make it epoch-making. At the cognitive level, big data makes the "truth" that people are striving for surface; At the decision-making level, big data makes judgment more "intelligent".

Tian Suning, chairman of Broadband Capital, believes that using big data is a milestone event.

[application]Big data has become a new industry in China, and its application focuses on finance, communication, retail, medical care, tourism and government management. As an industry, big data has formed a preliminary industrial chain, which can be subdivided into three categories: data resource type, technology type and application type. Representative companies include Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, etc. At the same time, a number of entrepreneurial companies have been born, such as Dipai Wireless and Duoniu Media, which have landed on the New Third Board.

According to Analysys International data, the scale of this industry has reached 10.2 billion yuan in 2015. According to Shen Wan Hongyuan’s calculation, after 10 years, big data technology can incite trillion-dollar GDP.

Big data for the government is a new means to improve efficiency.

Big data can improve the efficiency of the government and effectively supervise the power of the government.

[definition]The outline pointed out that big data has become a new way to improve the government’s governance capacity. Establishing a management mechanism of "speaking with data, making decisions with data, managing with data and innovating with data" and realizing scientific decision-making based on data will promote the progress of government management concept and social governance model and gradually realize the modernization of government governance capacity.

[Interpretation]With the support of big data, government management will be more efficient, accurate and scientific, and can effectively restrain public officials and supervise the use of public resources. In July 2015, the General Office of the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Strengthening Service and Supervision of Market Subjects by Using Big Data", which pointed out that big data "is beneficial for the government to fully obtain and use information, more accurately understand the needs of market subjects, and improve the pertinence and effectiveness of service and supervision."

[application]How do government departments use big data? Is the road congested? Is the scenic spot crowded? Which fund has changed …

In an interview with reporters, Wang Jun, director of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, who attended this year’s National People’s Congress, used a group of tax big data to analyze the new changes in economic restructuring. "Tax big data shows that the development of China’s tertiary industry continues to improve, and it also confirms the positive changes in consumption structure."

The State Administration for Industry and Commerce cooperated with Baidu to carry out big data supervision and crack down on counterfeit and shoddy goods. The Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce teamed up with Internet companies to apply big data to the supervision of e-commerce and use search engines and big data technology to investigate and deal with violations.

Tianjin has built an intelligent "audit and supervision network" management system that keeps an eye on all weather and uses big data by all employees to realize real-time supervision of financial funds and public funds.

The traffic control department of Guiyang technically promotes the operation of power in the sun, launches a "data cage", supervises the traffic police’s law enforcement, and realizes that "there are objects and traces everywhere" in handling cases.

Tourist attractions cooperate with telecom operators to forecast the popularity of scenic spots through mobile phone signal monitoring …

Big data for the economy has become a new driving force for growth.

Big data is innovating the economic operation mode, which will have great significance for economic transformation and upgrading.

[definition]The outline clearly points out that big data continues to stimulate business model innovation and constantly spawn new formats, which has become an important driving force for the Internet and other emerging fields to promote business innovation and value-added and enhance the core value of enterprises. The big data industry is becoming a new economic growth point.

[Interpretation]Big data promotes the efficiency and optimization of market resource allocation, promotes enterprises to shift from extensive production to "user-centered", and stimulates the upsurge of entrepreneurial innovation. Ren Wei, a senior analyst at Analysys think tank, said that under the background of slowing economic growth, domestic enterprises will be more encouraged to use big data to tap their growth potential.

[application]Sany Heavy Industry built its own big data storage and analysis platform, and optimized the parts turnover rate through big data analysis. Under the premise of ensuring the service level, the inventory dropped by nearly 50%, and the accuracy of parts demand forecast increased by 25 percentage points, thus greatly reducing the operating costs.

Unlike other traditional home appliance manufacturers, which design products first, then produce and sell, Haier sells products first, and then improves, designs and produces products according to big data feedback.

While SMEs are facing financing difficulties, financial institutions are also facing "lending difficulties". With the help of the data of merchants’ purchase, sales flow and credit accumulated by Ali, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms, relevant institutions have "picked up" many opportunities for lending to small and micro merchants.

Big data will change the traditional lifestyle for the people.

Big data has penetrated into all aspects of people’s lives, and the traditional lifestyle is being deeply influenced.

[definition]The outline points out that it is necessary to use big data to gain insight into people’s livelihood needs, optimize resource allocation, enrich service content, expand service channels, expand service scope, improve service quality, enhance urban radiation capacity, promote public services to extend to the grassroots level, narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, and promote the formation of a fair, inclusive, convenient and efficient people’s livelihood service system to continuously meet the growing personalized and diversified needs of the people.

[Interpretation]Big data has infiltrated into people’s lives "quietly" and is changing the traditional way of life. Han Yishun, executive vice president of Tsinghua University Institute of Data Science, believes that many people have unconsciously used data to make decisions, checking road conditions before going out and looking for nearby restaurants on mobile phone software … At the same time, everyone has become the data source of big data, and our behavior of using the Internet will generate data.

[application]When you open the web page you have visited, "Guess what you like" will automatically pop up, and the "like" things are pushed by the platform according to the "traces" left by your previous reading and buying, after data analysis and screening. The arrival of the era of big data will enable businesses to achieve user-centered and provide various services faster and more efficiently.

Big data makes people’s lives smarter and healthier. Smart bus stop signs in Guangdong, Shanghai, Chongqing and other places have been "on duty". Through the big data terminal that collects real-time information of roads and buses, it timely releases when the bus arrives, whether the direction it is going to is congested, and whether there are many people on board …

In addition, you can also send relevant data to the connected background through wearable devices, and tell you the exercise and health status through data terminal analysis.

The peak of return traffic will last until midnight, and the air-ground linkage in Shanghai will be smooth.

The bridge section of G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway Yangtze River Tunnel is the core channel connecting Jiangsu, Chongming Island and Shanghai. Today and tomorrow, there will be a large return traffic flow. The traffic control department predicts that more than 140,000 vehicles will return to Shanghai via G40 Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge.

At 9 o’clock this morning, the traffic on the downlink of the G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge, that is, the return journey to Shanghai, was dense. The big screen of the command center of Chongming Public Security Bureau in Shanghai shows that the traffic flow of the downstream line of the Yangtze River Bridge is 3,900 vehicles per hour, and the vehicles on the main deck appear to slow down for about 2 kilometers, and the speed is maintained at 30 kilometers per hour.

The traffic control department predicts that the peak of return traffic will last until midnight today. At present, the additional police force in Shanghai has carried out orderly flow control and diversion work at key confluence points such as G40 Shanghai-Shaanxi Expressway, Changxing Island Service Area and Chen Hai Toll Gate to prevent the rapid surge of traffic flow. In addition, the traffic police in Shanghai are still using drones to carry out air patrols at key sections to find accidents in time, quickly handle rapid evacuation and minimize the impact of accidents on normal driving.
