Let iPhone run Android! Evaluation of the strongest mobile phone accessory mecha in history

  Some time ago, I saw a video released on Jimmy Lin Weibo, which actually opened an Android interface with an iPhone. My first reaction at that time was that I didn’t believe it and thought it was a fake video. But what I didn’t expect was that a few days later, this artifact "Mecha" that allows the iPhone to run Android system opened a press conference, which made me have to admire the scientific development now!

  Fortunately, less than two weeks after the Mecha was released, the author got a testing machine, and I can enjoy playing this black technology. Today, I will talk to you about the feeling of using it.

  From the product category point of view, the mecha is different from any existing iPhone accessories, which is amazing. At first glance, it is an iPhone case, and it also has the function of charging treasure. But in fact, its body also has a complete set of mobile phone hardware and Android operating system, which is the secret of the mecha’s ability to let the iPhone run Android.

  I believe that many friends who saw Jimmy Lin Weibo are very eager to understand the principle that Mecha makes iPhone run Android, and so am I. Get the mecha and after the successful installation, just roughly know what’s going on. First of all, install the mecha’s APP, then install the iPhone on the mecha, press the power button on the back of the mecha, open the mecha’s APP and follow the prompts, and then you can see the magical scene in Jimmy Lin Weibo.

  After this set of actions is done, the author speculates that the principle is this: the mecha has built-in complete smart phone hardware, which is equivalent to a computer. Connecting with the iPhone is equivalent to using the screen of the iPhone as its own display and touch screen. Of course, it is not enough to display the picture. We have to open the iPhone’s microphone, microphone, camera, notification, Bluetooth and other permissions to the mecha to achieve complete functions. So, this is actually not to let "iPhone run Android system", but to let "iPhone become a touch screen of Android phone".

  Next, we are concerned about the hardware performance of the mecha. By setting the menu, we can see that the built-in Mecha is a MediaTek MT6735 chip with 2GB of memory, which is an 8-core mobile phone chip with mid-range positioning, and it was popular in last year’s thousand yuan mobile phone. Compared with another mobile phone that also uses MT6735, it is found that the performance of the two phones is basically the same, so it seems that the hardware performance of the mecha is still fully exerted. However, it is worth noting that the screen output of the mecha is actually 720p, not 1080p of the iPhone 6plus screen, so the 3D running will be a little higher, and the visual effect displayed on the iPhone screen is not very sharp.

  The MT6735 chip allows Mecha to support the 4G networks of China Mobile and China Unicom. Inserting a second SIM card into the SIM card slot of the mecha can turn the iPhone into a dual-card dual standby, which has fulfilled our dream for many years! Through the actual measurement, both SIM cards can receive and send calls and text messages normally. Or you can insert an Internet card into the mecha and use it as a mobile WiFi, which is also a way of playing. I don’t know if anyone else remembers the "apple peel". Speaking of this, I feel that Mecha is really a super enhanced version of apple peel.

  Some use feelings

  Although Mecha is the first generation product, its maturity is very high from the author’s use process. The connection between iPhone and Mecha, as well as the call of Mecha to iPhone hardware and software resources are smooth, and there has never been a chain drop. Use WeChat, make phone calls, send text messages, etc. in the mecha. If there is any new news, a notification will pop up in the iPhone system in time. The only BUG I found was that if I borrowed an iPhone camera to take pictures in the mecha, it was only 300,000 pixels, but I don’t think anyone would hurt enough to take pictures in the mecha.

  In addition, there is another place that I am not satisfied with, that is, the mecha comes with the Android system provided by APUS, with too many pre-installed applications and advertisements. The company that launched Mecha is Haima Play. Their main business is the Android emulator on the PC side, and they should have the technical force to launch their own Android system. However, it is suggested that a variety of Android interfaces should be provided for users to choose and install. My personal favorite is the Android native system.

  In addition to using the iPhone as the monitor of the mecha, and using the receiver and microphone of the iPhone to make phone calls, there are other intercommunication functions between the two. For example:

  1. The pictures of iPhone can be transferred to the mecha, which can be regarded as an expansion of iPhone. However, the mecha itself has only 16GB storage space, and a memory card cannot be inserted. I believe the next generation of products will be improved.

  2. Mecha can be used as an emergency charging treasure for iPhone. You can choose whether to supply power to iPhone in the settings, but it is recommended to turn off the Android system in the Mecha at this time, otherwise, if both devices use electricity at the same time, they will soon run out.

  In terms of grip, the mecha is very delicate, with a little rubber feeling, which provides protection for the iPhone from every angle. If it falls to the ground, it should greatly reduce the risk of broken screen. It is a bit heavy to use the mecha as a mobile phone case, but after all, it also integrates the battery and motherboard, so it should be compared with the official charging case of iPhone. The iPhone 6s version of Mecha weighs 84 grams, while the plus version weighs 109 grams, which is still acceptable.

  If there is anything that needs to be improved, it should be battery capacity. As mentioned earlier, if you really want to use the mecha as an emergency charging treasure, it is best to turn off the Android system inside, otherwise the two systems will soon run out of 2500mAh batteries when they use electricity together. In addition, I feel that the APUS system pre-installed in the mecha is not very power-saving, and I hope the next generation of products can be improved.

  To sum up, the mech can be regarded as the most surprising accessory of the iPhone so far, which has realized the two ideas that the iPhone runs Android system and the iPhone turns into a dual-card dual standby, which have always been unattainable. I hope there will be more such cool products in the future.

Jiangsu officials recalled the interview with the environmental protection inspector group: just "prelude" made you sweat.

  The first batch of central environmental protection inspectors are at the work site. (Photo courtesy of the National Environmental Protection Inspector Office)

  Editor’s Note: From November 12 to 23, the first batch of eight provinces that accepted the central environmental protection inspectors received feedback one after another. The inspector group was not soft on the inspectors from all over the country, and its opinions were sharp, hitting the crux of the problem directly.

  Since the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group went to work in various places in July this year, the whole society has paid close attention to it. How does the inspector group carry out its work, what practical results have been achieved by the inspector, how can all localities continue to promote environmental protection after the inspector, and how can the environmental pressure be transmitted through the "supervising party committees" and "supervising the government"? With these questions, our reporter recently went to Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu and other places for in-depth research.

  On the morning of November 12th, a feedback meeting was held for the inspection of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region by the Central First Environmental Protection Inspector Group. In the circular, the statements such as "Half of the standing committees of the municipal party committees rarely study environmental protection, and some even have not studied environmental protection issues in one year" and "41 of the 89 national and autonomous nature reserves violate laws and regulations" have mixed feelings in Hao Qingwen, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Department of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

  "Inner Mongolia’s environmental protection work is under great pressure and heavy burden, and some comrades need to further improve their understanding of green development." Hao Qingwen told reporters with a heavy tone that protecting the ecological environment is related to the overall situation, and Inner Mongolia should do a good job in environmental protection rectification with iron determination and iron measures.

  Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Ningxia, among the first eight provinces to accept the central environmental protection supervision, many cadres felt the same heavy pressure as Hao Qingwen. The high-intensity work and what they saw and heard during the inspector’s period and before and after the inspector made them "touched unprecedentedly" ideologically, and some people even "lost a circle" under the pressure.

  Reporters in Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu and other places saw that through "supervising the Party Committee" and "supervising the government", environmental protection pressure was transmitted layer by layer, and a group of people’s strong or long-delayed environmental problems were solved, and local party and government leaders paid unprecedented attention to environmental protection work.

  ① Conducting pressure, making environmental protection an unshirkable responsibility.

  "Environmental protection can only pass the customs if it meets the standards, and if it fails to meet the standards, King Lao Tzu will not dare to help him bear this responsibility."

  The first appearance of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group was at the beginning of this year, and the harshly worded feedback from Hebei Inspector was beyond many people’s expectations. "No matter whether the first batch can’t reach us, we must first sort out the problems in our work." Before the announcement of the list of the first batch of eight provinces that were inspected, many places had already started the work of self-examination and self-correction, and some even went to Hebei Province to "learn from the classics".

  "The autonomous region did a lot of work before the inspection team came, including sorting out the environmental problems in the whole region, what measures have been taken, and to what extent the rectification has been carried out, so as to be aware of it." Hao Qingwen told reporters.

  The Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group inspects the implementation of environmental protection responsibilities of local party committees and governments. Without exception, the inspected provinces have set up a high-standard central environmental protection inspector coordination leading group, and some provincial (autonomous region) party Committee secretaries personally "take the lead".

  Environmental responsibility is conducted and compacted at different levels. "Pressure comes from accountability. It is better to hold a person accountable for a long time. Now everyone knows ‘ Sword hanging high ’ I dare not neglect. " Zhang Minghua, director of Jiangsu Environmental Supervision Bureau, said. Every conversation, information collection and on-the-spot investigation during the inspection process shocked the relevant cadres and staff, and the "environmental responsibility" became more real and concrete.

  Recalling the scene that the inspector group was invited to talk after sinking in Taizhou, Lin Yang, deputy director of the Economic and Information Committee of Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, was still in a difficult mood. Prepare your ID card, fill in the department and division of labor, be informed of your rights, and ask if you want to withdraw … … The "prologue" when he was interviewed surprised him with a cold sweat.

  The inspector team talked about Lin Yang’s content involving the elimination of excess capacity, which lasted for 6 hours. After the conversation, Lin Yang will also check the transcript, sign his name and press his handprint. He was greatly touched. "The Economic and Information Committee and the National Development and Reform Commission overlap in their work. Where the original responsibility is unknown, they always think about ‘ Push out ’ . After this inspection, I deeply feel that the implementation of national industrial policies and daily industry management really needs to put environmental protection at the forefront. It used to be the environmental protection department ‘ Offender ’ , now other departments also want to ‘ Offender ’ Otherwise, the thunder overhead will definitely explode. "

  The inspector group reads materials during the day, looks for clues, meets at night to study, and communicates with the local coordination leading group after the meeting, asking for supplementary materials, arranging on-site inspection tasks for the next day, and proposing a case list, which is often very busy. Wang Xuefeng, deputy director of the Department of Resource Conservation and Environmental Protection of the Development and Reform Commission of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, told the reporter that the inspector team sometimes asked for materials at 10 o’clock in the evening, requiring them to be delivered before 9 o’clock the next morning. "When delivering materials, I can’t wait to put my wings on it. Although it was very busy during that time, it was very important for the environmental protection inspector to let everyone really realize the direct relationship between the work of this department and environmental protection. "

  "In the past, some leaders, especially those who were not environmental protection leaders, had more macro concepts about environmental protection, and there was still a gap between them." Zhu Aixun, deputy mayor of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, believes that the greatest significance of the central environmental protection inspector is to further strengthen the understanding of the importance of ecological civilization and environmental protection by party committees and governments at all levels and leading cadres at all levels, and to invest in ecological construction and environmental protection with unprecedented efforts.

  It is the requirement of the central authorities and one of the original intentions of the inspectors to let leading cadres always keep in mind the principle of "Party and government share the same responsibility, one post and two responsibilities" and implement it in action. Zhang Jianzhong, deputy mayor of Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, feels that changes are taking place. "In the past, many enterprises came to me and looked for the director of environmental protection, hoping that in environmental protection ‘ Show leniency ’ . There is no such situation now. If environmental protection meets the standards, it can pass the customs. If it does not meet the standards, Tianwang Laozi will not dare to help him bear this responsibility. "

  (2) the establishment of reform, so that the masses have a real sense of gain.

  A total of 13,316 calls, letters and reports were sent by the masses, which led the local authorities to investigate and deal with nearly 40,000 rectification workers.

  Every time the inspector group goes to a place, it will immediately announce the report phone number and letter address. For a time, some places reported that the phone rings one after another, and some places even deliberately extended the reporting acceptance time.

  The people are full of trust and expectation for the "environmental protection imperial envoy". According to the statistics of the State Environmental Protection Inspector’s Office, 8 inspectors assigned a total of 13,316 calls and letters from the masses, and the local authorities have basically completed them. There are 190 inspectors and related staff members in eight inspection teams, which has led local governments to invest in investigating and rectifying nearly 40,000 staff members, effectively promoting the solution of a large number of specific environmental problems, and the people have a real sense of gain.

  On the war preparation road in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, all the barbecue ovens in the barbecue stalls have entered the household. Bao Liang, captain of the administrative law enforcement supervision detachment of Hohhot City Management, told reporters that in summer, the stoves used for barbecue on this road are lined up, there is no smoke removal equipment, and the streets are always smoky. During the inspection period, Hohhot received a total of 307 cases of cooking fume noise reported by the masses assigned by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, accounting for 30% of all reported problems.

  "During the inspection period, we will focus on the comprehensive improvement of the environment of barbecue stalls." Bao Liang introduced that they issued a notice of rectification within a time limit to the relevant merchants and went door to door to do the work. Now merchants have put on new electric ovens and installed fume purification treatment facilities.

  Fushun Village, Zhutang Town, Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, one side of the road is a quiet Jiangnan village, and on the other side of the abandoned tall house, there were 10 workshops for granulating waste plastics and crushing waste foam without any formalities. After receiving the case assigned by the inspector group on July 25, Jiangyin City immediately took action, ordered to stop production the next day, and cut off power to this area on July 28 to prevent resurgence. Mayor Xia Jianhui said that on July 30, the town launched a self-inspection operation and found 68 workshops with similar problems. By the beginning of November, 47 of them had been dismantled. Zhao Qiang, vice mayor of Jiangyin City, told the reporter that the number of cases inspected by Jiangyin accounted for 40% of Wuxi, and all levels of governments attached great importance to it, and made the law enforcement strict and fast to satisfy the people.

  Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region adheres to the problem orientation, lists every task, every link and every problem involved by inspectors, establishes a ledger, and in accordance with the working idea of "one problem, one leader is responsible, one set of rectification measures, one set of rectification files and one rectification team", reverses the construction period, reverses the progress and manages the problems one by one to ensure that the problems are rectified according to the time limit and requirements.

  While handling the reported cases, Wuxi, Suzhou and other places also made a detailed classification analysis of the cases, showing at a glance the proportion of water, gas, soil, noise, neighbor avoidance problems and the geographical distribution of reports. Xu Meijian, vice mayor of Suzhou, said that the problems reported by the masses reflected the weak links in the work, which should be taken as a starting point to further improve the work.

  Some of the reported cases are "trivial matters" such as oil smoke and noise pollution. Isn’t it a bit "overqualified" for the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group to supervise these matters? In this regard, Jin Jianhong, deputy mayor of Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province, said that although some of the feedback from the Central Inspector Group seems to be trivial, it is not easy to solve and test the concept and style of cadres. At the same time, these reported cases also let everyone further reflect on the relationship between GDP and COD (chemical oxygen demand) and PM (particulate matter), and reflect on the relationship between economic development and people’s happiness index.

  (3) unprecedented strength, promote local gnawing hard bones.

  "It’s better to do it early than to wait for someone to knock you with a board. The work that was slow in progress is getting up quickly now. "

  In Hohhot in October, there was already some chill, and the machines roared on the dam of Dahei River, and the comprehensive management project was in full swing.

  "In recent years, a large amount of untreated sewage has been discharged directly into the Dahe River, and some river sections have become typical urban black and smelly river sections, and the masses have reflected it prominently." Ma Wenwen, director of Hohhot Water Affairs Bureau, said that the government has been hesitant because of the large investment in the treatment project. Last year, when the North China Environmental Protection Supervision Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection conducted a comprehensive inspection in Inner Mongolia, it paid attention to the governance of the Dahei River. This time, the central environmental protection inspector made Hohhot determined to thoroughly rectify the Dahei River.

  "The total investment in remediation is 4.2 billion yuan, which will not only eliminate black odor, but also create a good water landscape and realize the recycling of water resources." Ma Wenwen smiled and told reporters, "Next time you come, what you will see is ‘ Daqinghe ’ Yes! "

  In fact, many places are facing environmental problems similar to the renovation of the Dahe River — — The people have reacted strongly, and governments at all levels are very concerned about it. The problem is there, but solving it will cost a lot of money, or there will be resistance and many difficulties, which will often take a long time to cure. Although the inspector group has been stationed in various places for only one month, the intensity of supervision, supervision and accountability is unprecedented, which has prompted many hard bones to be finally chewed down.

  When the reporter arrived at Zhongda Carbon Material Co., Ltd. in Jingjiang, Jiangsu Province, it was dark and the empty factory was quiet and bleak. This enterprise, which invested 1 billion yuan and was completed and put into operation in 2011, has many illegal acts such as long-term illegal production without environmental protection acceptance, inconsistent batch construction and excessive discharge of pollutants. The local environmental protection department has punished it three times by ordering it to stop production, and applied to the court for enforcement in March this year. Even so, the company has never really stopped production.

  "The means that the environmental protection department can use are basically used, but the problem has not been solved. It is really a headache." He Rusong, deputy director of Taizhou Environmental Protection Bureau, told the reporter that during the sinking of Taizhou City by the Central Inspector Group, the company’s problems were listed as key supervision cases. At the end of July, under the great pressure that the person in charge of the company was detained by the public security department and interviewed by the court, Zhongda charcoal gradually stopped production and stopped production, which finally solved the problem that had plagued the environmental protection department for many years.

  Since its establishment, Beifang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia has been complaining constantly, and the problem of odor disturbing people is outstanding, which has not been solved for a long time. Only during the central inspection period, it received more than 80 reports from the masses. The Central Inspector Group specially went to the site for investigation, and the results showed that the problems reflected by the masses were basically true, and at the same time, it was found that enterprises had the problem of illegal landfill of waste mushroom residue. Under the supervision of the Central Inspector Group, the Hulunbeier Municipal Committee specially convened an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, demanding that the enterprise be ordered to immediately stop production and rectify in an all-round way, and the accountability procedures should be initiated for relevant personnel. Seven responsible persons of the enterprise were taken criminal compulsory measures, of which two were released on bail pending trial and five were under residential surveillance. The municipal government requires that enterprises should not resume production if rectification is not in place.

  "In the past, in terms of solving environmental problems, things that can be dragged and dropped may be let go. Looking at it now, it will be done sooner or later, and the sequelae will be even greater. The people will sue you and the cadres will be held accountable. " Sun Jianhua, executive vice mayor of Hohhot, said, "It’s better to have short-term pain than long-term pain. Instead of waiting for someone to knock you with a board, it’s better to do it early. The work that was slow in progress is now getting up. "

  (4) forming a mechanism to promote the improvement of daily management level by inspectors.

  Compacting responsibility, integrating and coordinating, taking a firm attitude, and keeping a high-pressure deterrent against environmental violations.

  The central inspection team came, and the local authorities handled environmental violations with an iron fist and efficiently, and solved outstanding problems. With the inspector group gone, how can such work enthusiasm and working status be continued?

  Inspector is a means, that is, to promote local governments to establish a long-term mechanism to protect the environment and protect the ecology. "The provincial party committee and government also hope to take the inspector as an opportunity to establish a long-term mechanism for ecological environmental protection and better implement it." Jiang Wei, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Department of Jiangsu Province, told reporters that Jiangsu Province has studied and formulated an action plan, mainly aiming at the outstanding problems pointed out by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, grasping the main contradictions and making precise efforts. We will organize local authorities to "look back" on the handling of letters and visits assigned by the inspector group. At the same time, we will continue to strengthen law enforcement and case investigation, and always maintain a high-pressure deterrent situation of punishing illegal sewage discharge.

  Clarifying and compacting responsibilities is the basis of establishing a long-term mechanism. Not long ago, Jiangsu Province issued the "Provisions on Responsibility for Ecological Environmental Protection (Trial)", which clarified the responsibilities of ecological environmental protection at all levels and departments in their work, and rewarded them with due diligence, and must be investigated for dereliction of duty. In accordance with the requirements of "Environmental Protection Supervision Scheme (Trial)" issued by the Party Committee and government of the autonomous region, Inner Mongolia has carried out environmental protection supervision work in all the cities in order to further consolidate the achievements of central environmental protection supervision and implement the environmental protection responsibilities of party committees and governments at all levels.

  In response to the feedback from the central inspector, Li Qiang, secretary of jiangsu provincial party committee, demanded that the whole province should change "touching" into "action", draw inferences from others, dig deep into the deep-seated reasons behind environmental problems, promote both the symptoms and the root causes through system construction, and truly make full use of the inspector’s achievements. "Taking this central environmental protection inspector as a new starting point, we will take a firm attitude, do a good job in rectification from beginning to end, and strive to achieve new results in environmental improvement and open up a new situation in green development, and hand in a satisfactory environmental protection answer sheet to the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and the people of the whole province."

  Li Jiheng, secretary of the Party Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the combination of the present and the long-term, treat the symptoms and cure the root causes, sum up experience, grasp the laws, find out deficiencies, solve problems, promote a high degree of unity and coordination between economic construction and ecological civilization, and truly implement the new development concept. It is necessary to focus on the "short board" of ecological fragility and continue to vigorously implement major ecological restoration projects; Intensify efforts to rectify environmental problems in key industries and key areas, and promote the continuous improvement of environmental quality in the whole region.

  "In the days when the Central Inspector Group was there, the Environmental Protection Bureau could even mobilize the Public Security Bureau." Xi Yongqing, deputy secretary-general of Wuxi Municipal Government, pointed to Ren Dong, deputy director of Wuxi Environmental Protection Bureau, and told reporters, "When the Central Inspector Group was here, he represented the Inspector Coordination Group to all departments ‘ Dispatch ’ The efficiency of linkage between departments is very high, which can’t be done at ordinary times. This also makes us reflect that the role of environmental protection linkage mechanism has not been played enough. Everyone is concerned about the long-term mechanism. I think we should sum it up. "

  In Suzhou, the comprehensive evaluation platform for resource conservation and utilization of industrial enterprises has been put into trial use, and this platform has collected data from various environmental resources fields. "In the future, to resolve overcapacity, it is necessary to divide industries, grades and classifications. We must speak with the big data of this platform and decide who to eliminate and achieve precise management." Zhang Shu, deputy secretary-general of Suzhou Municipal Government, said that to establish a long-term environmental protection mechanism, we should not only firmly establish the concept of green development, but also rely on integration and coordination, make good use of existing resources and innovate methods and means.

  Inspector’s feedback

  Hit the outstanding problem directly.

  Inner Mongolia: There are violations of laws and regulations in 41 nature reserves of 89 countries and autonomous regions.

  Jiangsu: There are 30 centralized drinking water sources in Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, and 12 of them are spot-checked, and 8 of them have environmental violations.

  Henan: The air pollution is serious, and the concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 in the whole province rank second in the country. Zhengzhou did not complete the environmental protection target assessment, and the economic and social assessment was actually excellent.

  Heilongjiang: The promotion of environmental governance in Harbin is not strong enough, and the Zhalong 10,000 mu wetland was destroyed.

  Ningxia: The quality of atmospheric environment and local water environment in the whole region has declined, and the discharge of atmospheric pollutants in heavily polluted areas has been reduced by itself.

  Guangxi: Some leading comrades are blindly optimistic about ecological environmental protection, and environmental protection makes concessions to development and construction from time to time.

  Jiangxi: Some environmental protection work is lax and untrue. The concentration of PM10 or PM2.5 in seven cities has not decreased, but has increased. The problems of environmental inaction and chaos are outstanding.

  Yunnan: Of the 70 industrial parks above the provincial level, 57 have not built centralized pollution control facilities; The promotion of heavy metal pollution control is not effective. It is required to complete 19 comprehensive treatment projects of heavy metal pollution left over from history by the end of 2015, and 12 projects have not yet been completed.

In the whole movie circle, he is the strongest rich second generation I have ever seen.

Every time you get to know a director or actor in depth, no matter whether he is American or British, the possibility of his birth from a family above the middle class is higher than 75%.

Doug liman (director of "Chaos Walking" released today, also director of "Bourne ultimatum" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"), untidy, his hair always seems to have not been cut for several months, whether on the set or at a formal occasion.

Even among directors who don’t pay attention to appearance, he is the most rustic. However, he is the son of Arthur Riemann, a famous American lawyer.

How good is his dad?

Arthur used to be a Warner Bros. film lawyer, and he was the chief lawyer of the US Senate in the Iran-contra incident.

When he was a teenager, Doug boarded Steven Spielberg’s private jet and got a close look at one of the greatest American directors. This experience also contributed to his dream of entering the film industry.

Arthur riemann

Doug’s first big-screen debut [The Swindler], with a total production cost of $200,000, was settled by his father from a client.

Just when you think Doug will become the rich second generation who depends on his father, [Swindler] gets back 35 times the cost.

One of the main characters in the film is the director of [Iron Man] and [Lion King] (the real lion version) and the well-known iron man driver Hapi-jon favreau (left).

Since then, he has never used his father’s money for filming. But dad’s money can be used in other places.

For example, in 2000, Doug bought a penthouse in Tribeca, Manhattan, new york, with an area of nearly 350 square meters and a value of $2.8 million.

Be under siege

After the small success of [Swindler], Doug shot [Dog Man and Woman] who was finally shortlisted for Sundance Film Festival at a cost of more than 6 million yuan while the iron was hot.

This film is compared with quentin tarantino’s [Pulp Fiction] by many people, because both of them are multi-angle non-linear crime movies with black comedy style.

The famous film critic roger ebert mentioned [dog men and women] and said:

"Although the film did take place in Quentin’s territory, there is no doubt that it is a very entertaining and brilliant black comedy."

Two successful independent works in succession have successfully attracted the attention of Hollywood. Doug was able to work with Universal Pictures.[bourne ultimatum].

But before that, there is an episode.

Doug is a die-hard fan of Robert Ludlum, the author of the original book, and he learned that the film adaptation right of the original book is about to expire.

He decided to go to Robert’s residence near Montana National Glacier Park in person.

Doug had just become a pilot at that time. His first flight was from Los Angeles to Montana, and he encountered many problems on the way. The National Guard once thought that he had crashed.

Fortunately, Robert was very grateful for this bold visit. He not only sold him the right to edit, but also agreed to be a producer in the film.

With a budget of $55 million, Bourne ultimatum is Doug’s first big production within the Hollywood system.

He followed "A top killer remembers nothing but killing people."This concept to tell this story, there is no such thing as a big scene, jason bourne is not ostentatious, and always solves his opponent in the most labor-saving and effective way.

Bourne started with no high-tech weapons, only books and oil pens around him.

Bourne threw himself into a car chase, never going on a rampage. Look at the map and find a good route before starting the engine. It is this style that attracts Matt Damon, which is eager for transformation.

Unfortunately, Universal believed that the film lacked big scenes, intervened strongly and made a lot of modifications to the script.

This made the filming of the film into chaos, and Damon once threatened to quit the film because of the unrecognizable script. And Doug’s shooting method makes Universal and the whole crew on the verge of collapse.

Because of the previous two low-budget films, Doug has developed the style of finding feelings while shooting. His scenes, props, camera positions and angles, including the actors’ performances, will change many times in one day.

This is extremely rare for many crew members who are used to step by step and follow the script.

The shooting plan set yesterday has suddenly been overturned and started all over again today, which must be hard for anyone to accept. Plus Doug and Damon temporarily persuaded Universal to shoot according to the original script. It is to let the shooting schedule be changed again and again, and put it off again and again.

As a result, the budget of [Bourne ultimatum] was overspent by 8 million US dollars, the schedule was postponed twice, and negative news kept coming.

However, after the film was released, it was well received at the box office, which redefined the spy thriller action film. Even the action style of the 007 series [007: casino royale] also referred to the action style of this film.

However, many head-on confrontations with global executives made Doug lose the opportunity to direct the subsequent series, and he only retained the title of executive producer.

Against paparazzi

Doug read it for the first time on the set of Bourne ultimatum.[Mr and Mrs Smith]The script. At that time, Brad Pitt personally selected him, hoping that he could direct this film.

But Doug didn’t agree. He didn’t agree until he finished filming [Bourne ultimatum] and met Pete in person.

At that time, the heroine of the film wasNicole KidmanUnfortunately, she quit the project because of the schedule conflict of [Copy Wife].

[Copy Wife]

Without Nicole, Pete quit. Doug, who is reuniting with his family, received a phone call saying that the project was ruined.

Friends comforted him and said, "It’s normal to work with a big star like Pete."

In fact, this is not the first time Doug has dealt with Pete, who was once the male candidate for "The Spy Shadow", but in the end Pete chose to play the same type of "Spy Game".

[spy game]

In 2003, the project went around Hollywood and returned to Doug. At this time, Pete decided to return to the project and wanted to choose gwyneth paltrow, who was shot by the producer (because she was Pete’s predecessor). I took a fancy to Cate Blanchett, but it’s a pity that she went to shoot [aviator].

In the end, the woman fell into Angelina Jolie’s hands. Many people say that [Smith] is the casting of the century, but Julie is not the first choice at all.

This film will always be associated with Pete, Julie and Jennifer Aniston. After all, the whole thing happened during the filming and the make-up.

Doug revealed on many occasions that it was a crazy shooting experience.

In order to take photos of Pete and Julie in private, the paparazzi almost surrounded the crew, and they even tried to monitor the crew’s walkie-talkie.

A large number of paparazzi surrounded the location, and even if the crew came up with various ways to deal with it, there were still many paparazzi in the camera.

In the end, the film had to remove the paparazzi and the obstacles blocking the paparazzi’s sight at a price of $1,000 per frame.

Part of the responsibility for this budget overrun is really not on Doug. Of course, the film was overspent in the end. In one scene, Doug had to pay his own money to transform his mother’s garage into a studio. After filming, he lost one.grenadeBlow up the garage.

This behavior is very rich second generation.

There is already a spark between the two protagonists. Doug mainly wants to release the elements of action and comedy, which is not difficult for him.

The action route he chose for the film is just the opposite of [Bourne ultimatum]. How to shoot it in a cool way, how to make a 180-degree U-turn in the car chase and how to shoot the tires of the rear car, and how to play rocket launchers and fly knives are indispensable.

On the contrary, Doug learned a lot of compromises and concessions by talking to two big bosses who each received $20 million. Of course, he still dared to talk to the two when it came to whether the film was good or not. Just as the majesty of the director, I accidentally lost it.

Because in the process of telling Julie and Pete about sex scenes, Doug revealed that his ex-girlfriend called himself."Bunny Bunny"From then on, Julie will only use the word "Bunny Bunny" when addressing him.

Global zipper

With the blessing of [bourne ultimatum] and [Smith], Doug’s courage and ambition are getting bigger and bigger, so there is [teleporter], an action film about teleportation.

The film was shot in 20 cities in 14 countries, a large part of which was shot on location, including the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, the pyramids in Cairo, Egypt and the main streets in Tokyo, Japan.

The shooting needs of these three locations were rejected at first.

Doug and his team worked hard to get permission.

For example, the shooting of the Colosseum, because the crew can’t interfere with tourists, and Doug wants to shoot scenes during the day, so the crew should use only 45 minutes from dawn to visitors’ admission every day and 45 minutes from the closing of the venue to dark to complete these scenes within the limited three days.

Doug, who has always been undisciplined in some organizations, has shown excellent concentration and successfully achieved the "impossible task".

In addition, at that time, a large number of instant transfer special effects of the film also put forward high requirements for shooting.

The scenes of the Colosseum are divided into three different types, and they are filmed in order to give the special effects team enough production space in the later stage. However, Doug still insists that as long as it can be shot in real life, it will be shot in real life.

Jamie Bell’s character throws a scene of a London bus at Samuel Jackson, which was really shot with Weiya. Of course, it was not Samuel who hit the bus, but a body double.

In addition, Doug also admitted in the follow-up interview that [Smith] and [Mind] are his least deceptive films.

The so-called "cheating" means that his actors didn’t have to step on the spot in the previous films, and he emphasized the naturalness of shooting. Many times, he would carry the camera on his shoulder and use his hand to deal with some performance defects.

But since [Smith], he has chosen to get rid of this habit and walk completely according to tradition. On the one hand, it is convenient for special effects, on the other hand, it is better to train two new actors.

Take care of Tom

If measured by Hollywood standards,[Edge of Tomorrow]It’s a loss-making product. But in Doug’s eyes, this is his proudest work.

Interestingly, the film critics and the audience who have seen this film also agree with this statement.

This film is probably the one in which Doug has fought the least in cooperation with large-scale factories. The biggest disagreement comes from the title of the film.

Both Warner Pictures and Doug agree that the original title "Killing Cycle" is not appropriate. The former doesn’t want to "kill", and the latter thinks that this name can’t reflect the sense of humor in the film.

As a result, Doug chose [Live Die Repeat] and Warner chose [Edge of Tomorrow]. Everyone must know who won in the end.

In this film, Doug continues to insist that CG is absolutely not needed for real shooting, so the mecha worn by the actors directly made Emily Blunt cry.

In fact, when Doug was shooting, he also regretted this choice a little. Because the mecha was too heavy, every scene needed a lot of Weiya and ropes to cooperate in order to shoot smoothly.

But later, Doug was very glad that the film was finally presented in this form, because its realism was incomparable to CG.

Tom Cruise took a fancy to Doug’s talent through this film.

Doug also saw Tom’s unusual dedication and hard work. He watched Tom’s stunt performance in this film, and even said that the latter was absolutely top-notch if he was a stuntman.

The two subsequently cooperated [Made in America]. Not only that, [Edge of Tomorrow 2] is also being developed step by step.

[Made in America]

But the most amazing thing is that Tom cruise is going to make a movie in space soon, and it is doug liman who will fight with him. This time, the two played too much, and the results are likely to explode.

So forget the bad [chaotic walking], after all, the director is going to fly.

Facing the common challenges and creating a better future-The concept of community of human destiny guides the development of human civilization.

  Xinhua News Agency, Belgrade, April 30th?Title: Face common challenges and create a better future — — The concept of community of human destiny guides the development of human civilization.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Chen Xu Haijing

  On April 30th, the national high-end think tank of Xinhua News Agency released the think tank report "The Times Value and Practical Achievements of Building a Community of Human Destiny" (Serbian Edition) in Belgrade, Serbia. The report holds that, as a Chinese solution to global challenges, the concept of a community of human destiny conforms to the common values and interests of all mankind, and has brought huge dividends to the world, and will continue to play an important role as a clear banner leading the progress of human civilization in the future.

  The world today is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a century. Countries are interconnected and interdependent to an unprecedented extent. At the same time, peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit and governance deficit are increasingly prominent, and the global multilateral governance system is facing severe challenges. How to find the spiritual guidance for the sustainable development of human civilization in line with the ultimate concern for human destiny has become a problem that the whole world must answer.

  Facing the questions of the world, the history and the times, the Supreme Leader of president, China put forward the Chinese plan of building a community of human destiny 11 years ago. To promote the building of a community of human destiny is not to replace one system with another, nor to replace another civilization with one civilization. Instead, countries with different social systems, ideologies, histories and cultures and different levels of development share interests, rights and responsibilities in international affairs, which is the future of people all over the world.

  The concept of building a community of human destiny provides oriental wisdom for solving global challenges. Promote the building of a community of human destiny, emphasizing "commonality", promoting "integration" and advocating "integration". It is the way for all countries to cope with challenges, resolve disputes and bridge differences, and it is the China prescription to promote human society to work together to build a lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance and clean and beautiful world. At the same time, the concept of building a community of human destiny is also the essential requirement for realizing Chinese modernization, and the two are organically linked and inseparable. "Build yourself up", persist in building a community of human destiny in the process of Chinese modernization, and provide new opportunities for the world with its own new development, so that people of all countries can benefit from the development of China.

  The idea of building a community of human destiny is a concentrated expression of the common values and pursuits of the world. Although the language carriers, thinking frames and belief bases of various civilizations in the world are different, the goal of pursuing peace and development is common, the desire to establish a fair and just order is common, and the pursuit of democracy and freedom is common. As an inclusive ideological system, the idea of building a community of human destiny draws on the outstanding achievements of the world’s diverse civilizations, reflects the universal aspirations and common aspirations of all mankind, condenses the consensus of people of different nationalities, faiths, cultures and regions, draws the greatest concentric circle among countries with different cultural backgrounds and development levels, transcends the old thinking of zero-sum game, power politics and cold war confrontation, and becomes a clear banner leading the trend of the times and the direction of human progress.

  The concept of building a community of human destiny has broad practical space. Since 2013, under the framework of building a community of human destiny, China initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative have made important contributions to meeting global challenges and promoting world development. China-Laos Railway has realized the long-cherished wish of the Lao people to "change the land lock country into a land link country", Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway has become the first railway in Southeast Asian countries to achieve a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and the cooperation with China has revived the port of Piraeus, Greece. The fungus grass technology from China has been affectionately called "happy grass" by the Lesotho people, and "Luban Workshop" has helped young people in Tajikistan and other countries master vocational skills & HELIP; … From 2013 to 2022, the total import and export volume of countries jointly built by China and the Belt and Road Initiative reached US$ 19.1 trillion, with an average annual growth rate of 6.4%. According to the World Bank’s forecast, by 2030, the investment related to the "Belt and Road" initiative is expected to lift 7.6 million people out of extreme poverty and 32 million people out of moderate poverty. Numerous cases and data show that the concept of building a community of human destiny not only solves the urgent problems facing the world at present, but also solves the long-term problems of the sustainable development of human society in the future, creating tangible benefits for the people of all countries.

  All good principles should adapt to changing times to remain relevant. China put forward the concept of building a community of human destiny, always advocated peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and persisted in being a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order. Looking forward to the future, the concept of building a community of human destiny will surely glow with more and more distinct truth power, more prominent leading role and ideological power beyond time and space, and open up a beautiful vision for common development, long-term stability and sustained prosperity for human society.

Constructing a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development —— Studying and implementing the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the provincial and ministeria

  Starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the goal of the second century marks that China has entered a new stage of development. How to find the layout of articles on the new historical position not only profoundly affects the development direction, process and quality, but also relates to whether it can overcome difficulties and be invincible in the unprecedented changes in the accelerated evolution of the world.

  Accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic macro-cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual-cycle promoting each other "needs to be accurately grasped and actively promoted from a global perspective. Only by basing ourselves on ourselves and smoothing the domestic circulation can we let the international situation change and always survive and develop with vigor. " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, taking advantage of the situation and being clear about change, gave a firm answer and made clear the path choice of China’s economic modernization.

  Entering the new stage of development, China’s domestic and external environment is undergoing profound changes, and it is urgent to make strategic choices and reposition the medium and long-term economic structure with the times. Looking around the country, the productivity level has been rapidly improved, and the demand structure has undergone major changes. At the same time, the internal circulation of the production system is not smooth, the phenomenon of disconnection between supply and demand is prominent, the problem of "sticking the neck" in the technical field is prominent, and the complexity of economic structure optimization has increased. This is the key to the economic development of big countries. We should actively adapt to changes and promote high-quality development. Looking around the world, the factors of instability and uncertainty have obviously increased, especially at present, the COVID-19 epidemic is still spreading, the global economy is in recession, and cross-border trade and investment have shrunk dramatically. In the past, the development model of "two markets and resources are outside" is unsustainable. In the face of new contradictions and challenges, we must put our foothold at home, make overall plans for development and security, and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern.

  To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, we must grasp the key of unimpeded economic cycle and make good policy arrangements to get through the blocking points and prevent breakpoints. On the one hand, efforts should be made to improve the innovation and relevance of the supply system and make a fuss about "consolidation, enhancement, promotion and smoothness". By deepening the structural reform of the supply side and strengthening the management of the demand side, the supply side and the demand side will be adapted and coordinated, and the links of production, exchange, distribution and consumption will be more closely connected; On the other hand, in order to achieve the integrity of the national economy, we should persist in expanding domestic demand, accelerate consumption upgrading, increase independent innovation, fill the shortcomings of development, constantly stimulate motivation, vitality and resilience, and weld the easy breakpoints of the economic cycle.

  To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, the starting point is development, and it is to achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development. The essential feature of such development is a high level of self-reliance, the important support is a strong domestic market, and the practice path is a domestic and international double cycle of mutual promotion, all of which are inseparable from the guidance and promotion of the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. The new development concept clarifies the focus of reform and development, and sorts out the major issues of development. The construction of the new development pattern should be shaped in form, mature in function and prosperous in operation. The most crucial and fundamental thing is to firmly establish and implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively.

  The direction is clear, and the struggle is on the journey. In order to win the new development pattern, we need to break through the fetters, take the responsibility of "success must be mine" and make even harder efforts. The broad masses of leading cadres must constantly improve their political judgment, political understanding and political execution, closely focus on building a new development pattern, make new arrangements according to the new requirements put forward by the CPC Central Committee, conscientiously implement them, take the first step this year, see a new atmosphere, and achieve new breakthroughs and create a new world of development during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period.

British waste recycling: a long history of management from punishment to reward

People’s Daily Online, London, April 24 (Yang Bo, Daytime Travel) The history of garbage recycling in Britain can be traced back to before industrialization, when waste from burning wood and coal was collected and used as the basic material for making bricks. However, the recycling at that time was because the economic advantages of renewable resources were higher than those of original materials, and there was a lack of public waste removal system in densely populated areas.

In Britain and Ireland around 1800, beverage bottles were recycled by some beverage manufacturers.

In 1813, Benjamin Raul combined rag fibers with raw wool to pass off as wool, which can be regarded as a kind of "garbage recycling", but this material made the inferior industry in West Yorkshire last for nearly a hundred years from the early 19th century.

In the past ten years, Britain has introduced some new regulations to encourage more recycling. These measures include imposing fines on those who do not reduce household waste, and putting more emphasis on sorting waste into different recyclable materials. Each local authority has different rules.

Now about 177 million tons of waste are produced in England every year. In order to reduce expenditure and produce waste, the British government issued the Waste Prevention Plan for England in 2013. In May 2014, the "Innovation of Waste Prevention Fund" funded by the Ministry of Environment was launched.

The government will require enterprises to be responsible for the products they produce, and the law also requires some enterprises to ensure that part of the products they sell are recycled and reused. These products include packaging, batteries, electrical and electronic equipment, vehicles and so on. At the same time, the government cooperates with the garbage industry through the "waste management responsibility agreement" to ensure that enterprises recycle as simply as possible and improve household recycling and waste collection. Laws have also been introduced to crack down on crimes, including illegal dumping of waste, operation of illegal waste management sites and illegal export of waste.

Domestic waste is subdivided into three categories.

In Britain, the classification of domestic waste recycling is very detailed, and the "Domestic Waste Recycling Act 2003" requires governments all over England to provide at least two kinds of recyclable materials collection services to every family.

So now we can see that in a single-family British family with a garden, there are usually three trash cans in front of the door or backyard. The colors of the lids are different, and the types of garbage inside are different.

For example, in some places, the trash can with black lid is used to hold "general garbage", the trash can with blue lid is used to hold "recyclable garbage", and the trash can with green lid is used to hold garden and kitchen waste. In another area, the color may be different from the barrel to the lid.

In addition to general garbage, the other two kinds of garbage are classified strictly. "Recyclable garbage" can be glass bottles, paper products, cans, degradable plastic bags, etc., while "garden or kitchen waste" can only be dead leaves, weeds or food, but not soil, stones and packaging. According to the specific classification regulations, the government will issue special leaflets and stuff them into users’ mailboxes on a regular basis or directly stick them on users’ trash can lids by garbage collectors.

When it comes to the division of plastic bags, it is difficult for ordinary people to quickly identify whether they are recyclable. Fortunately, most of the packaging of articles will clearly indicate whether the packaging can be recycled. It’s just that not all people will be "selective" when throwing garbage, so there are always people who intentionally or unintentionally "foul". Once they are discovered by the "eye-catching" recyclers, you will usually "harvest" a "warning sheet" on the lid of your trash can.

People who live in apartments do not have a garden, so they need only separate the recyclable garbage list. There is a special garbage station next to the apartment, and the oversized garbage bins inside are also classified.

Generally, special garbage trucks and workers will come to collect the three kinds of garbage at a fixed time every week. The night before, people just need to push the garbage bins usually stored in the backyard or by the door to the roadside near the main street, and the next morning, they may still be dreaming, and they can hear the sound of the roaring garbage trucks coming.

To "enjoy" such on-site service, you need to pay a certain fee, which is usually included in the monthly council tax collected by local governments. However, the budget of some places is relatively tight recently, so the recycling time of garden and kitchen waste is extended from once a week to once every two weeks.

Last year, there were news reports that families with children under three years old in a region of Wales had to provide their children’s birth certificates to collect diapers every two weeks, otherwise they would collect diapers together with domestic garbage every three weeks, which was said to be for the purpose of environmental protection.

Of course, if you don’t want to pay the garbage collection fee, there is a way. You can throw it directly into the nearby "garbage dump".

When I first entered this "garbage dump", I felt a sense of "dazzling", because the types of garbage inside were too fine. Recyclable paper products were divided into paper packaging, newspapers and magazines, and old clothes and sheets should be separated. In addition, there were cooking oil, batteries, small household appliances and so on. Once you saw that you were carrying the bag in the wrong direction, the staff next to you would come forward to guide you.

As for the "large-scale garbage" like old furniture, either make an appointment with a charity to collect it at home or pay someone to buy it. The cost may be higher than you think, and there is no service that can be sold as waste in China.

The policy focus shifts from punishment to reward.

Recently, the focus of Britain’s garbage recycling policy has shifted from punishing those who don’t recycle to encouraging more people to recycle through rewards.

WRAP, the waste and resources action plan, is a registered charity, which is jointly funded by several British government departments and the European Union.

Its website, Recyclenow, provides detailed guidance and suggestions to those who want to seriously classify garbage, and classifies recyclable garbage into six categories: sprays, food, plastic bottles, clothes, electronic equipment and medicines.

pressurized spray

For example, about 60% of waste such as used air fresheners is made of tinned steel, and about 40% is made of aluminum. Both metals can be recycled. It also contains some small plastic and rubber parts, including covers, valves and dip tubes, which can be extracted and fully recycled. If everyone in the UK can recycle an empty air freshener, the converted energy will be enough for the TV energy of 273,000 families.

food

Food recycling includes banana peel, leftovers, tea bags and so on. Usually, any cooked or raw food waste can be recycled, but it is necessary to ensure that all packaging, especially plastic packaging, is taken out.

There are several ways to treat the collected food waste. In some areas, it is mixed with garden waste and transported to local commercial composting facilities. This compost will be used in agriculture, landscaping and gardening. If food waste is collected separately, a method called anaerobic digestion is usually used to generate green electricity.

plastic bottle

It is estimated that Britain uses an average of 35.8 million plastic bottles every day, but only 19.8 million plastic bottles can be recycled every day, which means that an average of 16 million plastic bottles cannot enter the recycling station every day.

The recycling of plastic bottles requires emptying and washing articles, taking off the lid and squeezing the bottles to save space.

Clothing and textiles

Even damaged clothes and faded curtains, which are not suitable for reuse by others, can be recycled to create new items, such as cushions, cleaning cloths and industrial blankets for chairs and car seats. Charities everywhere in Britain recycle clothing and textiles, and different charities collect items slightly differently.

Some stores, such as H&M and Martha, collect old clothes in the store. Martha also collected it through charity partner Oxfam, and offered a discount the next time the donor went to Martha to buy it.

electronic equipment

Usually, when buying new electronic goods, stores will recycle old equipment, especially larger items, such as televisions and refrigerators and freezers. Other recycling methods include online junk exchange and selling websites. For unwanted mobile phones and tablets, some merchants can get cash or redeem gift certificates.

medicines and chemical reagents

Unopened, unused and expired drugs can be returned to the pharmacy for disposal. It is estimated that as much as 300 million pounds of unused or partially used drugs are wasted in Britain every year and cannot be recycled or reused. Therefore, the British medical system calls on people to think carefully before ordering duplicate prescriptions.

The road to comprehensive recycling is "long"

In addition to government regulations and services, it is equally important to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection and economy. For example, statistics for many years show that the amount of food wasted by the British is still amazing. In 2013, food worth 15.1 billion pounds was thrown into the trash can by the British. Statistics in 2014 found that up to 400 tons of food is still wasted every year, and the average person wastes up to 200 pounds of food every year.

With the continuous efforts of British government departments, the classification and recycling of garbage has made remarkable progress, but the overall household garbage recovery rate has been below 50%. According to the latest data from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) of the British government, from 2000/01 to 2009/10, household recycling in the UK increased by 235%; In 2009/10, 23 million tons of domestic waste were generated, of which 9.4 million tons were recovered, reused or composted, with compost accounting for the largest proportion, accounting for 40% of the total. In 2015, the recycling rate of households in England was 43.9%, which was 0.9 percentage points lower than that of 44.8% in 2014. Also since 2011, the "domestic garbage recycling rate" was lower than 44% for the first time.

The British referendum decided to leave the European Union, which also brought certain policy uncertainty to garbage sorting and recycling. If Britain leaves the EU, all kinds of EU regulations and standards that regulate all walks of life will face the process of replacing them with Britain’s own. Whether to completely follow the original EU system or reset Britain’s own system will create a certain policy vacuum or delay in the short term, such as promoting garbage collection. Recently, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that the general election will be held in advance, which will aggravate the uncertainty and delay of this policy to a certain extent. Although it will not necessarily affect the implementation of policies such as garbage collection, it will certainly have a certain impact on further promotion.

The EU severely warned Britain about the Brexit chaos: Hard Brexit is almost inevitable.

  [Special correspondent of Global Times in Britain and Germany Qiang Wei Mu Jishan Aoki Wei Hui] No! No! No! … … The British Parliament, mired in Brexit, showed the world their ability to say "no". On the evening of April 1, the House of Commons of the British Parliament once again conducted an "indicative vote" on the alternatives to Brexit. As a result, all four options were rejected again. The Brexit agreement led by British Prime Minister Theresa May has been rejected three times, and various alternatives proposed by Parliament have failed to pass many times. Originally, March 29th was supposed to be the day when Britain left the EU. At the request of the British government, the date was extended to April 12th. Seeing that the "deadline" was approaching, there was still no hope of breaking the deadlock. Banier, the EU’s chief negotiator in charge of Brexit, warned on the 2nd that it is increasingly possible for Britain to leave without agreement. Fu Sida, the chief negotiator of the "Brexit" of the European Parliament, even bluntly said that Britain’s "hard Brexit" was almost inevitable. For more than two years, Britain has devoted almost all its political energy to the issue of Brexit, but what it got was endless quarrels and repeated vetoes. The split and paralysis of British politics has become the object of ridicule by many foreign media. The Irish Independent newspaper said that "the British parliamentary system cannot find any solution, which makes their democracy a laughing stock".

  On the evening of the 1 ST local time, the lower house of the British Parliament voted again on four "soft Brexit" alternatives. As a result, four proposals, including negotiating with the EU to maintain a customs union, establishing a "Common Market 2.0", holding a second referendum and canceling Brexit if no agreement can be reached, have not received more than half of the votes. Among them, the proposal to maintain a customs union with the EU was rejected by three votes, which is the closest scheme among all the "indicative votes".

  Immediately after the voting results were announced, the exchange rate of the pound against the US dollar fell by nearly 1%. The British "Daily Express" said that there are still 10 days to go to the EU’s Brexit deadline for the UK, but parliamentarians have said "no" to all Brexit programs. CNN said on the 2nd that if Brexit is a tennis match, it will be a hard five-set match. In the past, five sets of games were tied, and now the score is 60, and neither side can gain obvious advantages. Everyone is exhausted, and there is no end in sight.

  "The possibility of Britain leaving the EU without agreement is increasing." According to Agence France-Presse, Banier, the EU’s chief negotiator in charge of Brexit, warned of the deadlock in Brexit on the 2nd. Banier said that leaving the EU without an agreement has never been what the EU wanted. "But the 27 EU countries are ready now, and it is becoming more and more possible every day.". Banier also said that if Britain fails to pass an agreement in the next few days, there are only two options left: no agreement to leave the EU, or a request for a long delay in leaving the EU. The latter option requires Britain to agree to hold the European Parliament election in May, which the Theresa May administration, which wants to leave the European Union before then, has tried its best to avoid.

  Agence France-Presse said on the 2nd that British Brexit Secretary Buckley hinted that the government may seek a fourth vote on the Brexit agreement this week to avoid the delay in the Brexit process and hold the European Parliament election in May. Buckley warned that otherwise, "the default legal position is that Britain will leave the EU within 11 days", even if no agreement is reached. The BBC said that a number of cross-party lawmakers proposed an urgent motion on the 2 nd, asking the Prime Minister to delay Brexit if no agreement can be reached.

  "A hard Brexit is almost inevitable." Former Belgian Prime Minister Fu Sida, the chief negotiator of the "Brexit" of the European Parliament, issued a more straightforward warning on the 2nd. European Commission President Juncker said in an interview with Italian television: "We are very patient with our British friends, but our patience is running out." French President Macron warned on the 2nd that the EU should not be "held hostage" by the Brexit crisis. Macron also said that if Britain can’t find a solution, it will actually choose to leave the EU without agreement. "We can’t stop this failure.".
