Richmond Fed President: The US economy is in good shape, and the Fed can meet the challenge calmly.

Thomas Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, said that the US economy is in good condition, which enables the Fed to reduce borrowing costs. Barkin delivered a written speech at the Together Summit in Baltimore on Tuesday, saying, "Strong but more critical consumers, more productive and valuable labor force keep the economy in a good state. No matter how the economy develops, the Fed can respond appropriately. " The president of the Richmond Fed said that consumers who are increasingly sensitive to prices are helping to curb inflation. As companies retain talents, the labor market remains flexible. Part of the reason for the increase in productivity is that companies have invested in automation during the epidemic and have a more experienced workforce with a low turnover rate.

Federal Reserve Kashkali: If inflation unexpectedly rises before December, it may make the Fed suspend interest rate cuts.

Federal Reserve Kashkali said that considering the dynamics of the housing market, it may take one to two years for the inflation rate to drop to 2%; I don’t want to declare victory over inflation, but I have good reasons to maintain confidence. The strong labor market is "encouraging" and the economy looks strong. If inflation unexpectedly rises before December, it may make the Fed suspend interest rate cuts. In an environment with high productivity, the neutral interest rate is higher, which means that the Fed has less room to cut interest rates. The threshold for the Fed to stop shrinking its table is still quite high, and there is still a long way to go before it ends. The extent to which the Fed cuts interest rates will depend on the performance of the US economy.

Boeing says it will take several weeks to fully resume production after the strike.

On November 12, local time, Boeing Company of the United States said that it would take several weeks to fully resume the production of passenger planes because the factory workers returned to work after nearly two months of strike. A Boeing spokesman said that the delay in the resumption of work at factories in Washington and Oregon in the United States was due to the need to take multiple steps to resume production. Every employee will be informed of his responsibilities and safety requirements after returning to the company, and the company will ensure that the training certificate is up to date. It is reported that this strike is due to the breakdown of the negotiations between Boeing’s employers and employees to renew the contract. Boeing employees voted against the salary plan proposed by the management in mid-September, and then about 33,000 employees began to strike. Last week, employees voted to accept Boeing’s contract invitation and return to work before November 12. According to reports, the strike caused the production of Boeing 737 Max, 777 and 767 models to stop.

Boeing delivered 14 aircraft in October, a record low since November 2020.

National marriage registration data in the second quarter: marriage and divorce increased by 156,000 pairs and 178,000 pairs respectively.

  On September 15th, the website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs published the statistics of civil affairs in the second quarter of 2023. Data show that in the second quarter of this year (2023), there were 1.781 million couples of marriage registration and 676,000 couples of divorce registration nationwide.

  Compared with the first quarter of this year, the number of marriage registrations in the second quarter of this year decreased by 366,000 pairs, and the number of divorce registrations increased by 35,000 pairs. Compared with the same period in the second quarter of last year, the two data increased by 156,000 pairs and 178,000 pairs respectively.

  In recent years, the news that the number of marriages nationwide has reached a new low has aroused widespread concern.

  According to statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China’s marriage data began to decline year by year in 2014, with 13.4693 million couples in 2013, falling below the 10 million couples mark in 2019 and 7.636 million couples in 2021, falling below the 8 million couples mark.

Li Wanjun

  CCTV News:Li Wanjun, male, born in October 1968, Han nationality, party member of the Communist Party of China, welder of CRRC Changchun Railway Passenger Car Co., Ltd.

  Li Wanjun has participated in the trial-production welding of the first parts of dozens of bogies for urban rail cars and multiple units in China, summarized and formulated more than 30 kinds of bogies welding specifications and operation methods, and tackled more than 150 technical problems, of which 27 won national patents. More than 30 bogie welding operation methods, such as his "gun-dragging right welding method", have saved money and created more than 80 million yuan for enterprises.

  Honors won: National Model Worker, National Excellent Communist party member, National May 1st Medal, National Technical Expert, Chinese Skills Award, Top 10 "Touching China" in 2016, Special Model Worker in Jilin Province.

  Li Wanjun, male, born in 1968, Han nationality, party member of the Communist Party of China, senior worker technician, and chief operator of CRRC Changke Co., Ltd., joined the work in the former Changchun Bus Factory in August 1987. He always stuck to the welding post of railway passenger car bogies, worked hard and overcame difficulties, and quickly became a technical expert in the welding field of the company. He won the first place in the appearance of welding samples in the 2005 National Welder Skills Competition, and successively in 1997.

  With the successful operation of "Fuxing", a 350km/h China high-speed railway, China high-speed railway has become a beautiful scenery in the world. In less than 10 years, China has gone through 40 years of development of high-speed railways in the world. Chinese CRRC skilled workers who showed their talents in the production of high-speed EMUs with world-class technology were praised by Premier Li Keqiang as "the first generation of high-speed rail workers in China". In this glorious team, the national model workers — — Li Wanjun, with his superb welding technology and professionalism, has made important contributions to the development of China’s high-speed rail industry and is known as the "master of high-speed rail welding".

  First, explore and innovate, and show your talents again and again

  Bogie manufacturing technology is one of the nine core technologies of high-speed EMU. One of the main reasons why China’s high-speed EMUs can run at such a high speed is that our bogie technology has made a major breakthrough. Li Wanjun worked in the welding position of the bogie. He has participated in the first trial-production welding of dozens of bogies of urban rail cars and multiple units in China, summarized and formulated more than 30 kinds of bogies welding specifications and operation methods, and tackled more than 150 technical problems, of which 27 won national patents.

  As the main model of the sixth national railway speed increase, the EMU with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour was trial-produced in Changke Co., Ltd. Because the bogie ring has to bear the weight of the car body weighing 50 tons, it has become the key part of the high-speed EMU manufacturing, and its welding quality requirements are extremely high. At the initial stage of trial production, due to the large number of welding sections, serious quality problems such as non-fusion of welded joints are prone to occur, which has temporarily become a bottleneck restricting bogie production. At the critical moment, Li Wanjun finally found out the "seven-step operation method of girth welding" with great strength, which was well formed and high in quality, and successfully broke through the key of mass production. This "unique skill", which surprised foreign experts, has been incorporated into the production process.

  CRRC introduced the technology of high-speed EMU with a speed of 350km/h from Siemens, Germany. Because the foreign side has not had such a high-speed operation precedent before, bogie manufacturing has become a joint research topic for both sides. With the great trust of leaders, Li Wanjun participated in the expert group of bogie welding procedure qualification, and played a special role of highly skilled personnel. Taking the relevant data obtained from trial production in Li Wanjun as an important reference, the Welding Specification for Ultra-high-speed Bogies compiled by enterprises has solved the big problems in guiding mass production.

  At the beginning of 2015, the company trial-produced the first standardized EMU (Fuxing EMU) in China. Many joints of bogies were never contacted by employees. Among them, the irregular welds of the torsion bar seat of the bogie side beam and the slope welds of the connecting interface of the transverse beam have extremely high quality requirements, and the radiographic inspection must be zero defects, and no defects are allowed. Because there are too many joints of irregular welds, it is easy to cause welding defects, which becomes a bottleneck problem that restricts the smooth production. Li Wanjun-based research team, after repeated argumentation and experiments, finally summed up an efficient and scientific welding method. They crossed the operation techniques of flat welding, vertical welding and downhill welding to successfully overcome this welding problem, and summarized the operation method to guide employees to complete this welding work.

  At the beginning of 2016, Li Wanjun led the studio members to successfully complete 31 process evaluations of thick plate welding of new york metro bogies in the United States, providing reliable welding specifications and operating basis for trial production of 40mm thick plate bogies in China. At the beginning of 2017, on this basis, Li Wanjun personally participated in the trial production of four American new york bogies, and passed the certification of American welding experts. On June 27, 2018, Changke Co., Ltd. became the first production unit in China to successfully obtain the production qualification of American new york subway bogies.

  With superb welding technology, Li Wanjun has overcome one technical difficulty after another by participating in the production of dozens of high-speed cars, railway passenger cars, urban rail cars and trains exported to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Brazil, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and other countries.

  Second, study hard and practice hard to create innovative skills.

  Li Wanjun’s achievements in his post are not accidental. In the long-term work of 31 years, he is diligent in research and innovation, and has developed excellent welding skills. He also holds six international welder (technician) qualification certificates for carbon steel and stainless steel welding. Argon arc welding, carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, MAG welding, TIG welding and other welding methods, flat, vertical, horizontal, upward and pipe welding shapes and positions, he is proficient in everything.

  Li Wanjun invented the "new electrode holder" according to the welding characteristics of dissimilar metal materials, which has obtained the national patent and been popularized. In 2012, Li Wanjun summarized more than 30 bogie welding operation methods, such as "gun-dragging right welding method", according to the special requirements of Australian stainless steel double-deck railway passenger car bogie welding, which were widely used in production, saving funds and creating more than 80 million yuan for enterprises.

  Li Wanjun used argon arc welding method for the first time in welding the girth of single-layer railway passenger car bogies exported to Iran, and successfully summarized a set of welding operation steps, thus filling the gap of argon arc welding for the girth of railway passenger car bogies in China, and also providing valuable experience for the development and production of new high-speed rail in China in the future.

  Third, carefully cultivate and create a "training miracle"

  Cultivating new forces for the production of high-speed EMU is another great contribution of Li Wanjun to the high-speed rail manufacturing in China. In order to ensure the smooth production of EMUs with speeds of 250km/h and 350km/h, and the trial production of ultra-high-speed EMUs with speeds of 380km/h, Li Wanjun shoulders the heavy responsibility of training back-up skilled workers for enterprises. In less than two years from 2008 to 2009, while working, he compiled teaching materials and undertook training tasks, creating a "training miracle" in which more than 400 new workers all obtained the international welder qualification certificate six months in advance. His carefully written teaching materials, such as carbon dioxide gas shielded welding flat butt joint, one-sided welding and double-sided forming welding technology, are easy to understand and well received by employees.

  Since 2010, Li Wanjun took the lead in setting up the company’s welder chief operator studio and served as the person in charge. Through the platform of the studio, he set up a senior welder class and a senior riveting class in Changke Co., Ltd., and adopted the training mode of "big" and "small" interspersed with "horizontal" and "vertical" for welders, organized more than 400 centralized trainings, trained more than 20,000 welders and obtained more than 4,000 international and domestic welder qualification certificates.

  In order to give full play to the skill inheritance function of "Model Worker Innovation Studio", Li Wanjun led the studio members to undertake the welder skill exchange and inheritance activities in Jilin Province and Changchun City, including China FAW, and formed resource sharing, training high-skilled talents for 15 times, totaling more than 1,500 times. In August, 2012, under the organization of provincial and municipal trade unions, he also participated in the activities of high-skilled talents going to Xinjiang for technical assistance, and held a superb feast for more than 400 skilled workers in Altay, Brzin, Habahe, Jimunai and Fuyun, which made the spirit of model workers take root thousands of miles away. In 2012, he was awarded the "Li Wanjun National Skill Master Studio" by the Ministry of Personnel. In 2014, he was awarded the "Model Worker Innovation Studio" by the Jilin Provincial Federation of Trade Unions and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions respectively. He himself was awarded the excellent model worker with high skills by the Changchun Municipal Federation of Trade Unions for many times.

  Among his apprentices, 20 were awarded the title of inspection-free employees and post experts, and 8 were awarded the title of the first batch of chief technicians in Jilin Province. Disciples He Yan, Wang Shangeng and Dong Zemin won the third place in the 2013 Changchun Welder Competition respectively, Sun Weipeng, Park Dongyue and Zhang Ye won the first, third and fourth place in the 2014 Changchun Welder Competition respectively, and Wang Shangeng and He Yan won the second and third place in the 2015 Jilin Welder Competition respectively and were awarded the May 1st Labor Medal of Jilin Province. In June 2018, Apprentices Wang Shangeng and He Yan won the first place in the aluminum alloy welding and exhibition competition of the International Jiake Cup Welder Competition respectively. On April 28th, 2015, Li Wanjun was gloriously elected as the national model worker, and read the proposal to the broad masses of workers in the Great Hall of the People on behalf of all the model workers, and was personally awarded by the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  Li Wanjun also took an active part in public welfare activities after work. In June 2013, he visited poor students in Yongxing Street, Jingyue Development Zone, Changchun City, and subsidized tuition in 1000 yuan. In March 2014, he visited orphans in Jilin Province orphanage and exchanged personal growth experiences with students. In May 2014, Li Wanjun was awarded the title of the first batch of "Jilin Good People" by the Jilin Provincial Party Committee, and was selected into the "China Good People List" in July of the same year.

  He has grown from an ordinary welder to an expert in high-speed rail welding in China, and has successively won "Changchun Special Model Worker", "Jilin Special Model Worker", "Jilin Senior Expert", "the State Council Government Allowance", "National May 1st Medal", "National Technical Expert", "Chinese Skill Award", "National Model Worker", "National Excellent Communist party member" and "Touching China" in 2016.

Is there anything more inhuman than being the protagonist but not showing your face? !

Special feature of 1905 film network The live-action version released last weekend performed well, earning 300 million box office in three days. In the film, there are beautiful songs, beautiful dances, beautiful castles and beautiful costumes. The picture of Miss Watsons dancing in a yellow bubble skirt is simply beautiful! But the fly in the ointment is that our "big cousin" Dan Stevens’s Zhang Shuai face appeared for a minute.

 

May I ask the director, do you have a problem with our "Downton Tun" paper? Are you jealous of our big cousin’s prosperous beauty? Let’s take a quick look at the beautiful photos of our big cousin.

 

This "line of beauty" is a three-episode mini-drama produced by BBC, and friends who are interested in the rot drama can go and watch their big cousin at the peak of Yan value.

  

My eldest cousin has been filming for many years, and has been wandering around the small screen or acting as a walk-on for movies. At the age of 35, first hero, a popular Disney commercial film, finally got it. I didn’t expect to stand on stilts and wear muscle stuffing clothes to play against Miss Watsons throughout the filming. If what you see in the cinema is a dubbing version, it will be even worse. Even the magnetic voice and singing of the big cousin can’t be heard, and the only thing that can capture the imprint of the big cousin is those blue eyes.

But then again, when a fake like big cousin.·There are not a few situations in which the protagonist can’t show his face. The following small series will take you back.

I. Michael Fassbender in

 

What the hell is this? This is not the kind of big-headed doll that we often see in Chinese New Year! Behind this ridiculous and weird mask lies another guard. That’s our "French shark" Michael Fassbender (for the "heavy taste preference" of French sharks, please refer to our previous article "The Eight Diagrams of X-Men: The Mystery of One-America Divorce and the Heavy Taste of French Sharks" for details.)。

 

Frank, the protagonist of the film, is the lead singer of an English underground band and a talented psychopath. He has never taken off this headgear since he was 14 years old. Not only singing with a hood, but also eating with a hood. As a result, I can only eat liquid food, and I don’t even want to take off my hood in the shower. Therefore, the shark in the film can’t show its face at all except for the last few minutes.

 

What’s even more amazing is that the image of Frank is not fabricated out of thin air. He comes from Chris Sievey, a singer and actor who was very popular in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s. Sievey was first recognized by the public as the lead singer of a punk band The Freshies, and later turned to be a comedian, creating the comic image of Frank Sidebottom (yes, Frank) and being active on the small screen. Sievey died suddenly at the age of 54 in 2010, and jon ronson, the keyboard player of his band, wrote this play in memory of him.

 

In 2014, when he starred in "Frank", the French shark had already made it to Hollywood by waiting for other films, but he still starred in this small-budget cult film with his consistent love for literary films and independent films. And it turns out that despite wearing a hood all the time, we can still detect Frank’s cowardice, nervousness, brilliance and obstacles to self-identity from the body language of the shark.

Second, Hugo Weaving in

 

Among these faceless roles, if Hugo Weaving in "V for Vendetta" ranks second, almost no one dares to rank first (of course, Edward Harrison Norton fans may protest).

The film, adapted from the novel of the same name by Alan Moore, tells that Britain will become an authoritarian country with centralized system in the future, and the whole country will be shrouded in the white terror of the head of state Sutler. Hugo Weaving plays a mysterious anarchist V, who has an extraordinary physical quality because he was once used by a prison to do biological experiments. He escaped from the prison in a fire and was burned beyond recognition, so he wore a mask and never showed his true colors.

 

The film is a collection of "Fried Uncle", john hurt and many other British actors, as well as Natalie Portman, who just played the Queen in the prequel, but the most impressive thing is Hugo Weaving, who can’t show his face. Through his magnetic voice and profound lines, he showed a rich sense of hierarchy and unique texture, which made this rambling neurotic and idealist come to life.

 

Moreover, Hugo Weaving in those days was not the image of the elderly in today’s movies. After all, he was a man who played "bullet time" with the savior Neo in the movies and played the elf king in the movies. I don’t know if it is addictive to play such a faceless role. In 2011, he played the red skull in the movie, and he couldn’t show his face half the time.

 

Third, Edward Harrison Norton in

 

Ridley scott, a great American film director, has always wanted to make a film about the Middle Ages and knights. Finally, he realized this wish in the 2005 "Kingdom of Heaven". Based on the real history of the European Crusades, this film is a masterpiece in terms of script structure, cast and scene construction, but it is a pity that the whole film has no other highlights except Edward Harrison Norton.

 

Edward Harrison Norton has always been a powerful actor who won by acting, and he is always willing to choose some eccentric and paranoid roles. For example, baldwin iv of jerusalem in "Kingdom of Heaven" wears a silver mask in all the films because he has leprosy since childhood. However, Norton completed the last strong man of the Jerusalem dynasty, who was weak, sick, brave, resourceful and caring for the world, only by virtue of the shaping of his voice, which can be called an acting textbook.

 

Compared with those small fresh meat and flowers in China who have poor lines and don’t even recite lines, you will find that the gap between people is so big! Moreover, Edward Harrison Norton’s face value is not low, and people were even with Brad Pitt!

fourLee Kwang Soo in

 

Lee Kwang Soo, the "giraffe" in Running Man, is also a sad advocate. He was bullied by various kinds in variety shows, and finally became a leading actor in a movie, but he could not show his face. In this film, he plays a young loser who takes part in a drug experiment, because the side effects of the drug actually turn his upper body into a fish. After being exposed by the media at first, he was regarded as an idol by the masses, but then the wind of public opinion changed and he became a disgusting devil and monster.

 

There are only two scenes of Lee Kwang Soo’s appearance in the whole film, and they are all in photos. During the filming, he spent 4-6 hours every day on special effects makeup, and then put on a fish head mask weighing 8 kilograms, not to mention eating, and even breathing was a problem. However, he explained this timid, cowardly and freedom-hungry role well.

 

The giraffe, who is 190cm tall and has been a model and has long legs, said, can’t I be a quiet handsome man? !

V. gerard butler in

 

Phantom of the Opera is one of the four major musicals in the world, the masterpiece of the musical master Weber. Since its birth 20 years ago, it has staged more than 70,000 performances around the world, with a box office of more than 3.2 billion, and won more than 50 important drama awards. Many people are confused about the difference between musical and Opera. Simply put, it is equivalent to the difference between pop music and symphony.

Four major musicals in the world

In 2004, this musical was put on the big screen, and the film was finally original. Not only did it reproduce classic tracks such as Angel of Music, The Phantom of the Opera and All I Ask of You, but even some transitions came from the musical version.

It’s really hard to connect Butler in Phantom of the Opera with him in 300 Warriors.


Of course, the most striking part of the film is the Phantom of the Opera played by gerard butler. The Phantom of the Opera has been wearing a mask for a long time because of his deformed appearance since childhood. For this reason, Butler spends four hours putting on makeup every day. He had never even seen a musical before he appeared in the film, but he had to undertake a lot of aria in the film. He only had 14 lines in the whole film, and all the others were sung. To this end, he found six vocal music teachers around the world to practice singing during the filming, and finally created an elegant and rough singing in the film, which overwhelmed many actors.

6. Daniel Wu in

 

Nowadays, Daniel Wu has simply become synonymous with handsome guy, and he is not the kind of "evil spirit" handsome guy that WeChat official account raved before. He has been trying to make the audience ignore his appearance. He tried to take the villain route, tried the action and kung fu route, and tried the sloppy and decadent image, but they failed to change people’s stereotype of him.

 

Last year, playing Gourdain in the Hollywood game adaptation blockbuster "Warcraft" finally satisfied Daniel Wu’s long-cherished wish. He finally did it. Although he knew that the role was played by him, he couldn’t relate him to Daniel Wu’s face when watching the film. Let the audience completely forget that the actors themselves project into the characters, which is also a realm of performance.

 

To this end, Daniel Wu also paid a lot. He attended a training class for more than a month and read a lot of information. And because Gourdain’s walking posture is different from others, when doing motion capture, he has been playing with others with a stance of "ma bu" or horse stance just look for four months in a row, and his legs are so thick that he can’t put on his original pants.

Back to the opening of Beauty and the Beast, this film expresses a truth that everyone knows — — You can’t judge a book by its cover. Inner beauty is the most important thing. The seven handsome actors mentioned above have practiced this point with their behaviors. They are not proud of their appearance, but rest on their laurels. Even when interpreting the roles that can’t be seen, they do their best without reservation. So they created characters that were deeply loved by the audience. Looking back at the chaos in the domestic film and television circle, it is simply embarrassing!

Investigation on the benefit pattern of core periodical evaluation: editor-in-chief is under pressure to frequent public relations


  Recently, a whistleblower sent an e-mail to China Youth Daily, claiming that "Since 2004, Modernization of Shopping Mall began to collect money crazily, and within four years, the publishing fee income was tens of millions of yuan". CFP


  In the past, when it was a core journal, the charging standard was 1,200 yuan per page. Now, it has been taken down from the sequence of core journals, and each page has been reduced to 600 yuan, with a discount. An editor of Shopping Mall Modernization told the China Youth Daily reporter: "If we have the opportunity to become a core journal again in the future, our price will rise back." (See this edition reported on April 22nd)


  An academic journal is in such a different situation just because it has the words "National Chinese Core Journal" on its cover. Why is the selection of "core journals" so influential? What kind of interest pattern is behind the selection of "core journals"? In this regard, China Youth Daily reporter launched an investigation.


  "Many people think it is a national standard."


  The "National Chinese Core Journals" marked on the cover of "Shopping Mall Modernization" originated from Peking University’s "Overview of Chinese Core Journals" (hereinafter referred to as "Overview"-reporter’s note). In order to show its identity, Shopping Mall Modernization sometimes photocopies the Certificate of Selection of National Chinese Core Journals in journals.


  "It is true that the evaluation results will be improperly understood and used," said Cai Ronghua, a research librarian of Peking University Library, one of the editors-in-chief of Overview. The research results of core journals presented in Overview can only be used as a reference, and if its role is not properly expanded, it will have a negative impact.


  Cai Ronghua said that the editorial board even wrote this point into the "research report" in the front part of the "Overview" many times, saying that "core and non-core are only a relative concept, and it is wrong to exaggerate the role of core journals and use them inappropriately", and "calling on all sectors of society to correctly understand the concept of core journals, rationally use the list of core journals, and avoid negative effects caused by unreasonable use of core journals".


  In the research report part of the 2000 edition of the Overview, the editorial board also highlighted in black: "Especially on the issue of evaluating professional titles, we must determine the’ list of important journals’ suitable for our unit according to the specific conditions such as the professional scope and academic level, and should not indiscriminately copy the list of core journals."


  The "research report" also mentioned: "It is obviously unreasonable for professionals of different levels and different natures to use the same core periodical list to evaluate their professional titles. The value of the core journal list lies in that it can face different levels of users with different needs, and users’ reference’ the core journal list and select the journals they need after screening is the correct way to use the core journal list. "


  Xing Dongtian, editor-in-chief of the General Office of China Academy of Social Sciences, has made an in-depth study of Peking University’s Overview. He believes that this appeal may not be effective under the background of "judging articles by journals" in China’s academic circles at present.


  He said that quite a number of scientific research institutions stipulate that only papers published in "core journals" can be regarded as assessment results. "This regulation makes no sense, because the level of journals is not necessarily related to the level of papers. However, this typical practice of’ judging articles by journals’ is the reality of academic evaluation in China. "


  Ceng Wei, director of the editorial department of Higher Education Research in Huazhong University of Science and Technology, also believes that evaluating professional titles is equivalent to reading papers, while the quality of papers is equivalent to the level of published journals, while the level of academic journals is equivalent to whether they have been selected as "core journals".


  Xing Dongtian said that this is because it is often difficult to identify what level a paper is, especially those theoretical achievements that cannot be tested at the moment. "But if it is evaluated by what kind of publication it is published in, it is clear at a glance and it is very convenient to operate."


  "There is such a simple and easy way, and the scientific research management department can’t ask for it. Is there any reason why the ready-made tools are not used?" Xing Dongtian said that The Overview is not a national standard, but only a scientific research achievement of bibliometrics, but most scholars who know little about bibliometrics simply don’t know how the core journals are selected.


  "No matter the executive department or the assessed, it is regarded as a mandatory evaluation system, and many people even think that it is a national standard. In fact,’ core journals’ have become the basic indicators of academic evaluation in China. " Xing Dongtian said.


  Every review season, editors frequently conduct public relations.


  Qian Ronggui of Nantong University Magazine pointed out in his monograph "Core Periodicals and Periodical Evaluation" that whether a publication is a "core periodical" under current conditions is directly related to its own survival and development. If a journal is selected as the "core journal", the source of manuscripts and financial resources will come one after another. However, if it is not selected, it will be followed by the scarcity of high-quality manuscripts and the shrinking of high-quality authors, and the whole editing and publishing work will become difficult.


  Since the evaluation results of core journals will have such a great impact, its evaluation process will inevitably be interfered by relevant interest groups.


  "As a folk research behavior, there is nothing wrong with Peking University Library to make such an evaluation. Peking University has its own standards, and other institutions can have other standards, and no one has the right to interfere. But the key point is that today’s academic evaluation system links core journals with many real interests, objectively expands the function and influence of core journal evaluation institutions, and there is the possibility of’ power rent-seeking’. " Xiong Bingqi, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, told the China Youth Daily reporter.


  Cai Ronghua admits that the evaluation of core journals every four years is a series of "public relations" and "anti-public relations" processes.


  Every review season, many editors-in-chief of academic journals have found research groups to mobilize classmates, fellow villagers, teachers and friends and other people to intercede. Because for them, whether a publication can enter the sequence of "core journals" may be related to the issue of "life and death": once it is listed, its value will increase sharply; And if the publication is in the "core" sequence, but it is "removed" by the new edition of "Overview", it is like rolling in the deep.


  Because Modernization of Shopping Mall was not included in the 2008 edition of Overview, the page fee was reduced by half, which shows the scale of interest disputes caused by Overview.


  "They (referring to the editors-in-chief of academic journals-reporter’s note) keep looking for us again and again, and we need several people to receive them," Cai Ronghua said. But she also pointed out that in the last few months, the research group will be closed and no one will receive it.


  An Xiumin, an associate researcher at ISSN China National Center, told China Youth Daily reporter that at the end of 2008, just before the publication of Overview (2008 edition), she often received phone calls from her friends, and even a friend told her in a nearly pleading tone that if the core was not evaluated, the unit would not be allowed to do it, and the unit would not allocate money, so I should be laid off.


  An Xiumin said that in the face of such a situation, many journals try their best to get into the circle of core journals.


  A journal that is quite influential in the industrial and economic circles has been in the "core journal" sequence of Overview before, but it was pulled down in the latest edition of Overview in 2008. The editor-in-chief of the journal showed a short message sent to him by a university professor to China Youth Daily reporter: "Editor-in-chief, I didn’t expect your journal to be rated as a core journal, which is beyond most people’s expectation. This will be disastrous for the development of our engineering management discipline. Please do something to remedy it!"


  The editorial board has received sponsorship fees for selected publications.


  The huge economic benefits behind "Overview" are even reflected in the pirated market.


  At the beginning of 2008, before the book was published, the "List of Core Journals Selected in 2008 Edition and Book Subscription Notice" began to circulate on the Internet, so that the editorial board had to issue a special statement on the homepage of Peking University Library on March 11th: "This achievement has never been published on the Internet, and the various versions of the" Overview of Chinese Core Journals "which are popular on the Internet at present are not published by the project team … The so-called 2008 published online at present.


  It is understood that the 2008 edition of the Compendium of Chinese Core Journals, although less than 1,000 pages, is expensive and priced in 360 yuan.


  Cai Ronghua claims that the research group will not be disturbed, because it is useless for those who want public relations to come to the research group and can’t solve any problems. The research group is only responsible for collecting and sorting out data. "Data is a past tense, and no one can change it."


  Because the evaluation of "core journals" is divided into two parts: quantitative evaluation and qualitative evaluation, Cai Ronghua admits that the qualitative evaluation part, that is, the part evaluated by experts, is uncontrollable to some extent and "may exploit loopholes". "We will send invitations to a large number of experts to participate in the review, but basically only a quarter of the experts are willing to participate in the review. Actually, we are not completely clear about which expert."


  She said that during the evaluation process, there will be periodical agencies to inquire which experts will participate in the evaluation. "If the experts participating in the review are bribed by the periodical press, there is nothing we can do. But in order to prevent this, we have adopted the method of increasing the number of experts participating in the evaluation. A magazine can’t afford to bribe more than half the experts, can it? "


  Cai Ronghua said that some journals did offer sponsorship in the selection, but the editorial board refused. "It’s not good to take someone else’s money and not evaluate others." She stressed that in the later period, "our staff members were isolated, turned off their mobile phones and did not receive visiting periodical agencies."


  However, she admits that in the previous selection, the jury has received sponsorship fees from some core journals, but the number is generally small and voluntary. As for the specific amount of sponsorship fees provided by these magazines, Cai Ronghua did not elaborate further, but said, "In return, we will give each other a" Overview of Chinese Core Journals ".


  She said: "There are also many journals that ignore us, but they are still among the core journals in every selection."


  As for the financial support, Cai Ronghua told reporters that the research group has no special funding support, but the Peking University Library and the university libraries participating in the selection will have some support. There are hundreds of people who regularly participate in the research and development work, most of whom are university library staff. Most of them do research for free, and only the income from the publication of Overview is divided into several hundred yuan each.


  Cai Ronghua said that because the evaluation of core journals has attracted much attention, there is great pressure, not only financial pressure, but also social pressure. "In the future, we must be strict with ourselves and let the evaluation results stand up to scrutiny."


  Variation of "Core Journals"


  "Nowadays, academic journals are directly linked to the actual interests," Ceng Wei said. There are many core journals, not only one from Peking University, but also another core. "If you get a core, you can charge a publishing fee, and business will be good."


  It is understood that, in addition to the General Survey published by Peking University, the Comprehensive Citation Report of China Academic Journals published by Tsinghua University Library, China Academic Journals (CD-ROM Edition) and China Scientific Literature Metrology and Evaluation Research Center, the Citation Index of Chinese Social Sciences (CSSCI) developed by Nanjing University, and the Outline of China Chinese Social Sciences Core Journals developed by China Academy of Social Sciences are all making similar evaluations.


  In addition, some educational and scientific research institutions have formulated "core journals" that meet their respective requirements on the basis of referring to various versions of "core journals".


  Xing Dongtian told the China Youth Daily reporter such a story:


  He used to work in the China Academy of Social Sciences, and all the journals of world religious studies were called World Religious Culture. The orientation of this journal is: a popular and knowledgeable religious culture publication for the general public and religious believers, and it is the only popular religious culture magazine sponsored by academic circles in China at present.


  To his surprise, when he visited a teacher in a famous university, he suddenly found that World Religious Culture was also among the "core journals" recognized by the university.


  "How can such an intellectual journal be a core journal?" Xing Dongtian thought it was ridiculous, so he called the scientific research department of the school and learned that it was reported by the religious department of the school.


  However, the teacher he visited complained bitterly: "There are very few publications in our discipline. If we don’t report them, the evaluation will be very disadvantageous. The unqualified assessment involves our rice bowl problem. "


  "In this way, the system forced them to include" popular and knowledgeable "publications in the scope of core journals," Xing Dongtian sighed.

In the first half of the year, the agricultural and rural economy was generally stable.

In the first half of the year, the agricultural and rural economy was generally stable.
The annual grain production base is good.

On July 21st, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and director of the Development Planning Department, introduced the operation of agriculture and rural economy in the first half of 2023 and answered questions from reporters.

The rural industry continues to grow, and the support of scientific and technological equipment continues to increase.

"Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has paid close attention to ensuring production and supply, consolidating achievements and keeping the bottom line, coordinating and promoting revitalization, and taking various measures to increase income. In the first half of the year, the agricultural and rural economy was generally stable." Zeng Yande introduced that, on the whole, the agricultural and rural economy maintained a good momentum of development in the first half of the year, providing strong support for steady growth, stable employment and stable prices.

The summer grain harvest is good, and the grain production foundation is good throughout the year. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, this year’s summer grain output was 292.3 billion Jin, down 2.55 billion Jin from the previous year, down 0.9%, ranking the second highest in history and still being a bumper harvest season. The harvest of early rice is in sight. It is estimated that the area of early rice is more than 71 million mu, and the current harvest has exceeded 70%, showing a trend of increasing production. The growth of autumn grain crops is normal, the area of autumn grain increases steadily, and the growth is roughly the same as that of normal years. The soybean area increased slightly, and the compound planting area of soybean and corn was expanded to 20 million mu, an increase of 5 million mu over the previous year. The area of winter rape increased a lot, and the output reached a record high.

Industrial employment assistance was solidly promoted, and the results of poverty alleviation continued to be consolidated. By the end of June, about 65% of the monitored objects had eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had implemented targeted assistance measures. The central government will promote the convergence of rural revitalization subsidy funds and strive to reach 60% of industrial development. The county-level consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization projects are planned to start 216,000 projects annually, with a starting rate of 90%. In that year, a total of 46.92 billion yuan of micro-credit was distributed to the poverty-stricken population, supporting 1.062 million poverty-stricken households and preventing the monitoring objects from returning to poverty to develop production. By the end of June, the number of migrant workers out of poverty was 32.59 million, exceeding the annual target of 2.4 million.

The support of scientific and technological equipment has been continuously enhanced, and agricultural modernization has developed steadily. In the first half of the year, about 36.63 million mu of high-standard farmland was built, and the area of high-efficiency water-saving irrigation was about 8.38 million mu. Accelerate the implementation of seed industry revitalization, the national survey of agricultural germplasm resources entered the final stage, and major agricultural biological breeding projects were promoted in an orderly manner.

Rural industries have continued to grow, and channels for increasing farmers’ employment and income have been continuously broadened. In June, the added value of agricultural and sideline food processing industries above designated size increased by 2.2% year-on-year, and the purchasing managers’ index of national key leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization was 54.2%, up 0.3 percentage points from the previous month. We will build 50 national modern agricultural industrial parks, 40 industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics, and 200 strong agricultural towns, so that more farmers can find jobs nearby. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 10,551 yuan, a real increase of 7.2%, which was 2.5 percentage points higher than that of urban residents.

Rural construction was promoted in an orderly manner, and rural reform continued to deepen. The living environment in rural areas continued to improve. The central government arranged 7.4 billion yuan to reward and supplement the implementation of the toilet revolution in the whole village, and arranged 3 billion yuan in the central budget to invest in supporting the infrastructure construction of rural living environment. The reform of key areas in rural areas was further promoted. After the second round of land contracting expired, the pilot project was extended for 30 years to achieve full coverage at the provincial level, and the pilot project of rural homestead reform continued to deepen. New types of agricultural business entities have been growing, with more than 2.234 million farmers’ cooperatives, 3.97 million family farms and 1.04 million agricultural socialized service organizations respectively.

Whether autumn grain can finally achieve a good harvest depends on disaster prevention and mitigation.

"It is not easy for summer grain to get a bumper harvest after a bad rain that has not happened for many years. After hard work, this result was won back and won back." Pan Wenbo, director of the Planting Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in recent years, China’s annual wheat production and demand have been more than balanced, especially in the first four years, we have continuously increased wheat production, with an increase of 4.3 billion Jin in 2019, 1.5 billion Jin in 2020, 5.4 billion Jin in 2021 and 1.6 billion Jin in 2022. At present, the wheat stock is abundant, which can meet the consumption in the past year, and the wheat market price is basically stable.

This summer, some areas in the Huang-Huai-Hai region suffered from the "rotten rain" that has not happened for many years, with record-breaking high temperatures in many places in the north, and agricultural meteorological disasters were characterized by multi-point distribution and multiple disasters. According to the agricultural situation, since the beginning of this year, the cumulative affected area of crops nationwide has reached 63.1 million mu, an increase of more than 8 million mu year-on-year. According to the consultation between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the meteorological department, agricultural disasters will be characterized by extreme weather, drought and flood, complexity and severity in the second half of the year. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will continue to base itself on flood prevention, drought resistance and disaster relief, take precautions and take the initiative to respond, strengthen disaster monitoring and dispatching, and minimize disaster losses.

The key to win a bumper harvest of grain throughout the year is autumn grain. "At present, the production situation of autumn grain is basically normal, but the key to achieving a good harvest in the end is disaster prevention and mitigation." Pan Wenbo said that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Emergency Management Department and the China Meteorological Bureau jointly held a meeting, demanding that all efforts be made to fight against disasters and win a bumper harvest of autumn grain to ensure that the annual grain output remained above 1.3 trillion Jin.

The department made further arrangements for this, focusing on the following things: (1) to implement the area of late rice and late autumn crops; Implement disaster prevention and mitigation measures; Implement large-scale bill of lading production measures; Implement fine guidance services.

More efforts should be made to release rural consumption potential and expand effective investment.

In the first half of the year, the total supply of agricultural products in China was sufficient, the prices of major varieties rose and fell, and the overall fluctuation was normal. From January to June, the National Agricultural Products Wholesale Price 200 Index monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs averaged 128.28, up 0.31 points year-on-year.

"Looking forward to the second half of the year, the supply of agricultural products in China will continue to be abundant, and prices will remain generally stable." Han Liu, head of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that in terms of production, early rice showed a trend of increasing production, the area of autumn grain increased steadily and grew well, the task of expanding soybean oil seeds landed, the production capacity of meat, eggs and milk was stable, the area of vegetables in the field increased, and the foundation of "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" was solid. In terms of inventory, the inventory of rice and wheat is at a historical high level, which can meet the demand of urban and rural residents for rations for about one year. In terms of consumption, the economy is expected to continue to improve, and the second half of the year is originally the peak season for agricultural products consumption, and the market demand will be better than the first half.

In the first half of the year, the retail sales of rural consumer goods increased by 8.4% year-on-year, which was 0.3 percentage points faster than that of cities and towns. At the same time, the consumption level of farmers is relatively low, and there is still great consumption potential. How to release the rural consumption potential more vigorously? The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will focus on three aspects:

Increase income and drive consumption. Strengthen the connection between production and marketing, so that agricultural products can be sold at high prices; Develop rural characteristic industries, so that more farmers can find jobs nearby; Strengthen skills training and guide farmers to go out to work with high quality.

Innovative supply stimulates consumption. Activate traditional consumption, encourage and support rural residents to buy green household appliances, green furniture, green building materials, etc., promote new energy vehicles that meet the characteristics of rural consumption, and continuously improve consumption quality. Cultivate new consumption, focus on developing rural leisure tourism, provide more green and high-quality agricultural products and services, and attract urban residents to spend their holidays and shopping in rural areas. Innovate consumption scenarios, develop rural e-commerce, let agricultural products go out of the village to the city, and industrial products go to the countryside smoothly.

Optimize the environment and promote consumption. Improve the market system, improve the cold chain logistics system of agricultural products storage and preservation, and smooth the logistics express network. Standardize the market order, strengthen the quality and safety supervision of agricultural products, carry out rural consumption activities with confidence, and improve the consumer rights protection network.

There is a huge space for investment in agriculture and rural areas, which is an important part of smoothing the urban and rural economic cycle. In view of the fact that the investment in fixed assets of the primary industry only increased by 0.1% in the first half of the year, Zeng Yande said that it should be noted that with the upgrading of the consumption structure of urban and rural residents, the consumption of meat, eggs and milk continues to increase, and the need to fill the shortcomings of agricultural and rural infrastructure, the investment space in agriculture and rural areas is broad. In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with relevant departments, will take effective measures to intensify its work and strive to expand effective investment in agriculture and rural areas.
