According to Taiwan's "China Times News Network" on August 26th, Japan began discharging nuclear contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean on August 24th, sparking doubts from various sectors. The Kuomintang Medical Commission warned that it may "damage the marine biological chain.". But the so-called representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan, Xie Changting, surprisingly posted on his Facebook account that the world is somewhat sensitive to the issue of radiation, but "in fact, trace amounts of radioactive elements are actually beneficial to the body.". This statement instantly drew criticism from netizens. According to the report, Taiwanese netizens left a message on their Facebook page saying, "Could you please change the text or resend it? Radioactive elements cannot be beneficial to the human body, even in trace amounts." "Why not move your office and home to the seaside where nuclear contaminated water is being discharged?"

On August 26th local time, Javor Benedek, a political figure from the Hungarian opposition dialogue party and former European Parliament member, stated on social media that the European Commission will investigate the battery factory of CATL in Debrecen, Hungary. This spring, the opposition politician submitted a complaint to the European Commission, stating that the Ningde Times battery factory still obtained construction permits despite water usage requirements that may not meet EU directives on groundwater conditions. Yavor wrote that the planned water demand of the battery plant will put pressure on the water sources in the Debrecen area, and the current water sources in Debrecen are severely overused, with water intake even exceeding three times the supply. Therefore, Ningde Times Factory

With the acceleration of climate change and urbanization, extreme weather disasters around the world pose serious challenges to urban safety and economic development, especially with the increasing frequency of extreme rainfall events, posing a threat to urban safety. Super large cities with external energy supply not only have large population density, but also are more challenging in coping with extreme weather such as rainstorm due to their unique factor concentration and economic volume. Does climate change and human activities affect the natural environment? Why do extreme rainstorm occur frequently? How to enhance the resilience of cities and enhance their ability to resist and recover from major risk disasters? Li Yongkun, director of the Institute of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation of Beijing Institute of Water Science and Technology, recently received an exclusive interview with China News Service on "East West" to interpret the safety and resilience construction of super large cities against the background of frequent extreme rainstorm. The summary of the interview transcript is as follows:

Since the beginning of this year, disciplinary inspection and supervision organs at all levels have seriously investigated and dealt with a number of disciplinary and illegal cases in the field of rural revitalization. Let's understand ↓↓ From the investigation and punishment, it can be seen that some party members and cadres have engaged in covert operations and power and money transactions in rural revitalization industry projects. For example, Gu Xingwei, former Deputy Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province, took advantage of his previous positions as Deputy Director of the Provincial Party Committee's Agriculture Office, Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to provide assistance to multiple private enterprise owners in applying for approval of national and provincial modern agricultural industrial parks and demonstration zones, obtaining special subsidy funds, and illegally accepting huge amounts of property.

Recently, human lunar probes have been intensively exploring the moon, marking the arrival of a new round of lunar exploration fever. The increasing number of lunar exploration countries, enhanced international cooperation, and the rise of commercial lunar exploration have become new trends in this round of lunar exploration fever. Behind the climax of lunar exploration is the years of technological accumulation of various countries, highlighting the strategic position of the moon in future technological development and resource utilization.

"It's said that it's difficult to schedule an expert account, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult," said Ms. Lan, who works in Chongqing. Not only do patients find it difficult to access expert accounts, but even doctors themselves have to find scalpers to access their own accounts.

He called the scalper and found out that the scalper had an account but had to pay an additional 200 yuan. As soon as the expert account was released, the scalpers were charging exorbitant prices. Ms. Lan introduced that she had recently experienced swelling in her neck. After initial diagnosis at the county hospital, she was diagnosed with a suspected tumor. The doctor suggested that she go to a tertiary hospital in the main urban area to register with an expert account for further examination. For the following week, the first thing she did every morning was to hold her phone and wait for the hospital's appointment, but strangely, she couldn't make an appointment. "In the blink of an eye, the expert account..."

If the contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is truly "safe and drinkable" as advocated by the Japanese government, there is no need for the Japanese government to take the risk of forcefully discharging it into the ocean. The Japanese government has recently ignored strong opposition from the international community and disregarded the health, development, and environmental rights of its own and other people. It has forcibly initiated the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima, setting a dangerous precedent in human history, while publicly promoting the safety and harmlessness of such water into the sea. No matter how sophistry the Japanese side may argue, they cannot absolve themselves of their responsibility for damaging the ecological environment and polluting the global oceans. For over two years, the legitimacy, legality, and safety of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan have been strongly questioned by the international community, but Japan has been attempting to create a false impression of safe and harmless nuclear contaminated water discharge globally

In a groundbreaking attempt, scientists from the University of Rochester in the United States successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole mice to mice, improving their health and extending their lifespan. This achievement opens up new avenues for exploring ways to extend human lifespan and reduce inflammation related diseases. The relevant paper was published in the journal Nature on August 23rd. The naked mole is a rodent the size of a mouse, known for its longevity and extraordinary resistance to age-related diseases. Its lifespan can reach 41 years, almost 10 times that of similarly sized rodents. And as they age, naked mole mice typically do not suffer from diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, and cancer. Previously, the research team had found that high molecular weight hyaluronic acid is a key factor in the cancer response of naked mole mice

I have heard of "old fogies" in the past. They refer to people who are older and have worked for a long time in some places and units. They seem to care nothing about the world. They are smart, sophisticated, flexible and willing to change their old problems. Such "old fogies" often make people feel headache, even helpless. At present, it is also said that the so-called "little deep-fried dough sticks" has appeared. Although they are young, they are sophisticated. Although they have not worked long, they are familiar with the hidden rules of the workplace. They believe that they live a clear and transparent life, often avoiding difficulties, being picky and hesitant, or refusing to take responsibility, perfunctory, and seeking comfort instead of self-improvement. Some of them still adhere to the principle of "hanging high if it doesn't matter to oneself, and if it's related to oneself, we must work together"

On August 10th, the 2023 National Intelligence Strategy of the United States was officially released. This is another important policy introduced by the Biden administration in the field of national security. The National Intelligence Strategy of the United States proposes six goals, including strengthening strategic competition, recruiting innovative personnel, increasing investment in science and technology, deepening alliance cooperation, responding to cross-border challenges, and enhancing resilience and adaptation. The intention of this strategic intelligence to contain China is clearly revealed, reflecting the hysteria of the "American style security concept" in the face of the current complex security situation, exposing four inappropriate and dangerous thinking parasitic on the US national security strategy. The Cold War mentality of the United States' 2023 National Intelligence Strategy, which targets China, is clearly stated that "China is the only economy with both the intention and the ability to reshape the international order."

"Doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was cheated to Myanmar for one year and forced to work 18 hours a day.". The true and false legends have made this place a terrifying presence. Especially with the hot release of the movie "All for One", the detestable face of the fraudster "Buddha's mouth and snake's heart" has created a deep sense of empathy, further elevating the terrifying color of northern Myanmar. Data shows that in 2019, the number of foreign tourists in Myanmar reached 4.36 million, while in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, Myanmar only received nearly 370000 foreign tourists, a decrease of over 90%.

Source author: When Niu Danqin woke up from sleep, bad news came from the United States, and Biden began to pray again. Looking at the statement released by the White House, Biden said: Jill and I, pray for the victims and their families, we are with the Jacksonville people. Because earlier, another shooting occurred in this Florida city, where a white man broke into a cheap store and chased after a black man, shooting and shooting, resulting in the death of three black people. Please note that white people shot and killed black people. This has specific racist purposes. So, Biden lamented: Just on the past Saturday, our country just celebrated the Washington Parade, but this anniversary ended with another gun violence incident. 60 years ago, the Great March was initiated by Martin Luther King Jr., advocating for equal citizenship rights for black people. Many people may still remember
