"Electronic Procurement Transaction Specification Non-Tendering Mode" is the first national standard for non-tendering procurement transaction mode of state-owned enterprises in China. It systematically summarizes the general rules and methods of public procurement transactions, defines four non-tendering transaction modes and basic procedural requirements, and points out the direction for all units to establish non-tendering procurement management system.

The Criterion for Judging the Potential Dangers of Major Accidents in Industry and Trade Enterprises was issued one year ago.
The Criteria for Judging Major Accident Hidden Dangers in Industry and Trade Enterprises issued in April last year (hereinafter referred to as the Criteria) is the fundamental basis for industry and trade enterprises to investigate and control major accident hidden dangers. Since the Criteria was issued one year ago, industry and trade enterprises across the country have checked and corrected more than 70,000 major accident hidden dangers, and emergency management departments have investigated and dealt with more than 72,000 hidden dangers, thus accurately controlling a large number of problems.
After the promulgation of the Criterion for Judging Major Accidents in Industry and Trade Enterprises, the Emergency Management Department sent joint law enforcement teams to conduct spot checks in various places. It was found that although most industry and trade enterprises had organized special study and training, they were able to check and correct themselves according to the standards, there were still many principals, safety production managers and employees of industry and trade enterprises who did not learn and apply the Criterion in place. For example, Article 14 of the Judgement Standard stipulates that safety-related facilities and equipment should ensure safe operation and use, otherwise it will be a major accident hazard, and law enforcement inspection found that some enterprises only pay attention to the "presence or absence" of safety devices, and do not pay attention to whether they can really play a role.
In view of the problems found in the spot check, the emergency management department will organize special training in the near future, reinterpret the judgments in key industrial and trade fields such as metallurgy, aluminum processing (deep well casting), dust explosion, and retrain the main person in charge of the enterprise and safety production management personnel. Accelerate the construction and application of monitoring and early warning system. Enterprises in key industries of industry and trade will fully popularize and apply the safety risk monitoring and early warning system, formulate data access specifications around the Judgment Standard, and form a whole chain closed-loop management mode of monitoring and early warning, law enforcement inspection and rectification of major accident hidden dangers. In addition, the Emergency Management Department will also provide assistance and guidance to areas where production safety accidents occur frequently in the industry and trade industry, so as to promote the relevant areas to further understand the Judgment Criteria and accurately judge and investigate major accidents.

The electricity generated by the new energy base in western Liaoning can’t be consumed locally, but the area that can really absorb a lot of this electricity is in the middle. Many departments in Liaoning have transferred the power supply from the west to the load area in the middle through the optimal allocation of the power grid.

The first black-flowered space peony in Luoyang, Henan Province passed the preliminary examination of new varieties.
Recently, in the space breeding base of Luoyang International Peony Garden, Henan Province, a "space black peony" bloomed brilliantly. This peony named "Han Mo Dan Qing" has just passed the preliminary examination of the China Flower Association Peony New Variety Approval Committee, which also means that this unique peony variety is a step further from the official appearance.

Compared with the bright peony flowers, it is deeper and more restrained.
It is understood that in 2011, 982 seeds of Luoyang Peony and Paeonia lactiflora were selected by Luoyang International Peony Garden and launched with shenzhou spaceship for space breeding. The seed of this peony is one of them, then it bloomed for the first time in 2018, and after six years of careful cultivation, it was finally named "Han Mo Dan Qing" this year. Black peony varieties generally belong to mid-late flowering varieties, but the flowering period of "Hanmo Danqing" in space breeding is about 7 days earlier than that of ordinary black peony.

Xinjiang enters the flower viewing season "flower economy" to boost rural revitalization
Flowers bloom for the second time, and the north and south of Tianshan Mountain enter the flower viewing season. The "flower economy" in Xinjiang, which takes flowers as the medium and promotes agriculture, is becoming a new engine of rural economy.
In Tulgen Township, xinyuan county, on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, the well-known Wild Apricot Valley entered its full bloom. The snow-capped mountains stretch in the distance, and the spring is abundant in the vicinity, attracting tourists from all over the country to punch in.
With the encouragement of the government, hundreds of families in Tulgen have had a "tourist meal" by changing "face value" into "output value". Azati Nursutan has opened a restaurant in recent years, and a flower viewing season can bring considerable income to his family. This year, he newly renovated his home room and started a homestay.
In Tumushuk on the western edge of Taklimakan Desert, the blooming prunes adorn the countryside. In the past two years, the local area has gradually formed a characteristic industrial chain from planting and development to processing and sales. The development path of "flowers in spring, fruits in summer, harvest in autumn and processing in winter" has made everyone’s wallets more and more bulging.
Rose in Hotan, lavender in Yili and peony in Bozhou … At present, in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, edible, medicinal, industrial flowers, ornamental seedlings and other varieties go hand in hand and develop in scale. The flower planting area in Xinjiang is stable at about 400,000 mu, with an annual output value of 600 million yuan. Xinjiang proposes that through the coordinated development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, a complete flower industry system will be basically established by 2035, and the annual sales will exceed 1 billion yuan.
Yunnan Green Spring: Punching a hole with a baby pangolin is "busy" in spring
In spring, everything recovers, and pangolins are also "busy", and they have to dig holes and "take the baby" out for a walk. Next, let’s take a look at Luchun County, Honghe, Yunnan.
In the picture, this wild pangolin buried its head in the hole, half of its body was still in the hole, and soon it dug up a pile of soil. Then it withdrew from the earth hole, took a short rest, and continued to start "construction". This is a picture accidentally taken by a local villager in Lvchun County, Honghe, Yunnan Province, when he was working in the mountains recently. Pangolin’s forelimbs are strong and its claws are very hard, and it is very skillful when digging holes.
Previously, the local area also accidentally photographed the pangolin "traveling with a baby". A small pangolin in MengMeng lies tightly on the parents’ back, with its front paws still swinging back and forth uneasily, while the strong pangolin parents climb up with their babies firmly on their backs.
Pangolin is a national first-class protected animal, which has a long breeding cycle and low breeding efficiency, and the overall number is extremely rare. They are timid by nature, and it is difficult to be observed during the day.
