After being released, the balloon rose to an altitude of about 500 meters, lasted in the air for 8 minutes and flew about 3,500 meters. When the balloon landed, the three animals were safe and sound: this experiment proved that lifting off would not lead to death.

September 19, 1982——The first computer smile in human history was born
40 years ago today, on September 19, 1982 (August 3, 1982), the first computer smile in human history was born.
On September 19, 1982, Professor Scott Falman of Carnegie Mellon University in the United States entered a string of ASCII characters for the first time on the electronic bulletin board: ":-)". The first computer smile in human history was born. Since then, online emojis have become popular in the Internet world and are widely accepted by the society.
Scott, professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. In 2007, Scott E. Fahlman claimed that he first used the smile symbol ":-)" 25 years ago. An colon , a connection number, and a half brackets, constitute the most commonly used symbols on the Internet at present, and also expresses the user's emotions. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Smile Symbol, Falman and his colleagues held the annual Student Innovation Competition, with the theme of human communication with technology as an auxiliary means. The event is sponsored by Yahoo, and the final "Smile Award" winner can win a $500 prize.
Language experts say that smile symbols and other electronic symbols provide an easy way for people to express their emotions through email and other computer communication methods, and it is difficult to do this through language.At 11:44 on September 19, 1982, Falman used the Smile Symbol for the first time on an Internet electronic bulletin board, when the topic he participated in the discussion was the limits of online humor. He said: "I proposed to use this symbol - ':-)' to mean jokes, it's like a 'lying down' smiling face."
Falman's suggestion provides an easy way for Internet users to express humor or positive emotions. Carnegie Mellon University said that this symbol quickly spread to other universities and entered the business field, and was eventually welcomed by Internet users around the world. The popularity of the smile symbol far exceeded Falman's expectations, and based on it, more new symbols emerged, such as the winking smile symbol ";-)", and the simpler ":)". With the increasing popularity of computers and the Internet, the application scope of smile symbols is becoming more and more widespread. Many instant messaging software have preset smiley face icons for users to use. But Falman said he personally prefers the smile symbol in text form because it is more imaginative than the icon.
For a long time, most computer and linguistics experts did not know who the founder of the Smile Symbol was. With the help of Microsoft , Carnegie Mellon University technicians found evidence of Falman's article from historical records 25 years ago, and finally determined the birth time of the smile symbol. Falman said: "Before that, I didn't see anyone using this symbol. However, this symbol is very simple. Maybe someone has the same creativity as me."

The regulations are amended and formulated based on the "Interim Regulations on Price Management" promulgated by the State Council in 1982. The newly promulgated regulations have added four aspects: First, clarify the three current price forms of the country, namely national pricing, national guidance price and market-regulated price. Second, the tasks of price departments at all levels increase the development of information services and strengthen coordination and guidance functions. The third is to add the chapter "Enterprise's Price Rights and Obligations", which stipulates that enterprises enjoy five rights in price management, mainly to give enterprises the right to pricing part of the price. At the same time, the five obligations that enterprises must fulfill are mainly to comply with the national price policies and regulations, obey management, and accept supervision. Fourth, strengthen price supervision and inspection and mobilize the masses to supervise and inspect prices. Set up employee price supervision stations and street price supervision stations in cities, focusing on checking the prices and charging standards of consumer goods that are closely related to people's lives. Protect the public who report and expose price violations, and those who make contributions should be rewarded according to regulations.
"Regulations on Price Management of the People's Republic of China" is the first formal basic regulation in price management in my country. Its promulgation and implementation will play an important role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of producers, operators and consumers, and stopping and punishing all price violations.
