Typhoon "Fireworks" landed in various places twice and actively responded.

Cctv news(News Network): The No.6 typhoon "Fireworks" weakened to a strong tropical storm level at 9: 00 this morning (July 26th), and landed again along the coast of pinghu city, Zhejiang Province at around 9: 50, with a maximum wind force of 10 near the center when landing. In the face of strong storms, all localities actively responded.

The heavy rainfall brought by the typhoon caused the water level of Jiaxing river network to generally rise, and local rescue personnel were dispatched to deal with the danger. Affected by the typhoon’s two landings, many roads in Lin ‘an District of Hangzhou were destroyed by flash floods, and the local people were urgently transferred and resettled in dangerous areas.

In Ningbo, waterlogging occurred in many places today. 117 villages (communities) in Haishu District were flooded to varying degrees, and the deepest water in some places exceeded 2 meters.

The re-landing of typhoon "Fireworks" led to water accumulation in six communities in Jinshan District, Shanghai, where 279 resettlement sites were set up to transfer and resettle more than 28,000 people. At four o’clock this morning, Longquan Port opened its floodgates to discharge flood. At present, the sea gate has drained 16.83 million cubic meters.

In Jiangsu, affected by the typhoon, the province has transferred 264537 people. At Pingwang Station of Taipu River, the water level here has reached 4.10 meters, exceeding the guaranteed water level. The local people arranged 24-hour patrol along the Taipu River and evacuated some people along the coast.

In the future, although "fireworks" will gradually weaken, the influence of wind and rain will continue. It is expected that there will be heavy rains in central and northern Zhejiang, Shanghai, central and southern Jiangsu, and central and southern Anhui tomorrow and tomorrow, and some areas will have heavy rains. The meteorological department reminded that the meteorological risk of floods in local small and medium-sized rivers is very high, and it is necessary to continue to do a good job in real-time monitoring, flood prevention and early warning, and transfer and hedging. The National Disaster Reduction Committee and the Emergency Management Department launched the national level IV emergency response to disaster relief, and sent disaster relief working groups to go deep into the disaster areas to guide and assist the local authorities in disaster relief work such as life assistance for the affected people.

  Some rural schools in Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County of Hainan Province once faced hollowing out: weak teachers and loss of students.

  In recent years, Qiongzhong County has improved the conditions for running schools, introduced excellent teachers, and done a good job in controlling dropouts … … With the improvement of teaching quality, Qiongzhong County has attracted more than 3,000 primary and secondary school students to return.

  The geographical boundary is partial, the teachers are weak, and there are few students — — At one time, Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County in Hainan Province faced the problem of hollowing out rural schools, and many students went to school outside the county. Qiongzhong County, which withdrew from the poverty-stricken counties in 2019, now has another scene.

  Since 2015, more than 3,000 primary and middle school students have returned to Qiongzhong County from outside the county, accounting for 60% of the growth of students in the basic education stage of the county. At the same time, the comprehensive evaluation index of the senior high school entrance examination in Qiongzhong County jumped from the bottom of the province in 2009 to the top eight in the province in recent four years.

  Introduce backbone teachers and reform assessment methods.

  Wanling School in Qiongzhong County was once a school facing the merger, ranking last in the comprehensive evaluation of the senior high school entrance examination in the county. In 2016, Wanling School introduced a principal and 11 key teachers. The arrival of excellent teachers and the gradual improvement of hardware have quietly changed this school.

  "When I first came, this village school was in the hearts of local people ‘ Can’t save lives ’ School. " Bao Rui became the principal of Wanling School through competition in 2016. He remembers that when he first came, there were only 81 students in the middle school, and often half of them were not in class.

  Fu Yongdong, director of the Education Bureau of Qiongzhong County, clearly remembers that before he went to a rural school for investigation and looked at a class’s physics test paper, almost all the scores of more than 40 people in the class were 30 to 40 points. "Teachers are very important to the level of education. It is difficult to improve the level of local teachers in a short time, and children can’t afford it. " Fu Yongdong said.

  Since 2015, Hainan Province has successively implemented the introduction project of "good principals and good teachers" and the introduction project of "one city (county), two schools and one park" for high-quality educational resources, and provincial-level financial special subsidies have been given to cities and counties to run basic education well.

  Taking this opportunity, since 2015, Qiongzhong County has introduced 24 outstanding principals and 133 key teachers from more than 20 provinces across the country, and the number of key teachers in the county has doubled. At the same time, priority is given to financial expenditure to ensure basic education. Since 2015, the county has invested more than 600 million yuan to improve school conditions.

  More crucially, there is the reform of teachers’ assessment methods. Qiongzhong County eliminated the principals from the bottom of nine comprehensive evaluations in the school year, which widened the performance pay gap of teachers, and broke the situation of "teaching well and teaching poorly, with little difference".

  In August, 2020, Wang Leilei was admitted to the post of rural backbone teacher in Qiongzhong County, but she missed the employment inspection because of her father’s sudden illness. Two months later, when her father was discharged from the hospital, Wang Leilei told Qiongzhong County Education Bureau that she still wanted to teach. Although the position was not full, the relevant departments of the county refused the request of the Education Bureau to make up the record according to the recruitment procedure. Fu Yongdong was in a hurry and went directly to the county leaders. Finally, through the decision of the county government executive meeting, Wang Leilei was re-recorded.

  "I can’t think of making up a teacher, and I can put it on the county government executive meeting." Wang Leilei lamented Qiongzhong’s courage in introducing talents.

  Perfecting the competitive employment system and stimulating teaching motivation

  According to the new assessment method of Qiongzhong County Education Bureau, Wanling School has established an assessment mechanism with workload and teaching quality as the main standards. In the first semester of implementation, the performance pay that teachers got was up to more than 7,000 yuan. Some teachers couldn’t accept the gap for a while and found Bao Rui to complain.

  "Controversy is not a bad thing, forcing schools to further revise and improve rules and regulations." Fu Yongdong said. Qiongzhong county began to plan how to make local teachers and imported teachers better form a joint force in this reform.

  Qiongzhong County has broken the school boundaries, established 129 discipline regional teaching and research groups, combined more than 2,200 teachers in the county in each discipline regional teaching and research group, and arranged the imported discipline backbone teachers and local excellent teachers as the discipline regional teaching and research team leaders, so that teachers can communicate and integrate in teaching and research practice regardless of local or foreign.

  The introduction of teachers does not account for the number of local teachers’ professional titles, and local teachers do not have to worry that the growth space will be squeezed. In addition, Qiongzhong tilted the financial subsidy funds to remote rural teachers and distributed rural teacher subsidies, from which more than 500 local teachers in the county benefited.

  In 2018, Qiongzhong County began to implement the equal competition mechanism between local teachers and imported teachers. Successful local teachers can get a one-time educational talent award. During the employment period, they will be assessed equally with the imported educational talents and enjoy the annual assessment subsidy.

  Wang Bo, a local teacher, was hired as the headmaster of a village. He said, "Years of tempering and learning from the introduction of key teachers have made me confident to stand on the competition platform and compete with everyone." In the past two years, there have been 15 outstanding local teachers like Wang Bo.

  Gradually, the system has been straightened out, and more teachers have devoted themselves to teaching. Local teachers are actively preparing lessons and competing with imported teachers to attend open classes. There are even teachers in Wanling School who have been invited to the province to take part in marking the senior high school entrance examination.

  Clear the number of dropouts and care for left-behind children

  In Wanling School, Bao Rui is not only the principal, but also the "surrogate parents" of the students. In 2016, Qiongzhong included more than 6,000 poor students and left-behind children in the county into the "four ones" care system. More than 2,000 teachers, as "acting parents" of students in charge, "meet once a day, talk once a week, visit once a month, and evaluate the help effect once a semester".

  "There are especially many single-parent left-behind children in rural areas here. Some classes have more than forty children, and only a few are not single-parent left-behind children. Schools and teachers have to take good care of them." Bao Rui said. “‘ Four ones ’ The operation of the care system makes teachers want to manage, dare to manage, and manage, and find ways to ensure that every student can complete the nine-year compulsory education. " Deng Shizhi, president of Wushi School in Wanling Town, said. Controlling dropping out of school has always been one of the key tasks of education in Qiongzhong County. After years of efforts, the number of dropouts in Qiongzhong County has been cleared.

  The change of educational atmosphere and the improvement of teaching quality have brought about the progress of students’ grades. In 2020, there were 432 undergraduate college entrance examinations in Qiongzhong County, 102 more than in 2019. What makes Fu Yongdong even more gratified is that in the senior high school entrance examination in 2020, 75 of the top 100 students in Qiongzhong County chose to stay in Qiongzhong County to attend high school.

  Over the years, depending on the relevant policies of the state and the province, Wanling School has received nearly 30 million yuan in financial support, which has comprehensively improved the campus hardware facilities. At present, the school has more than 130 teachers. The teaching building is clean and bright, with computer room, library, laboratory, etc. The plastic track, basketball court and swimming pool are fully equipped, and the multimedia teaching equipment of Banbantong covers all classes. At present, there are 1105 students in school, including more than 400 students returning from surrounding cities and counties.

  "Frankly speaking, we are still making up the historical debts and getting back the confidence of teachers and the trust of parents." Fu Yongdong said that in order to make every child learn at home, educators in the county are taking a step forward in a down-to-earth manner.

  Wanling Street, which was once lonely, became lively again, accompanied by the sound of books and laughter from the school. "Running a school well can change a village. The change of Wanling school is the weak school in Hainan rural areas ‘ Counterattack ’ Typical, but it has not yet reached the best appearance of rural schools in my mind, and I will continue to work hard to realize this dream. " Bao Rui said.

People in more than 30 cities in the United States staged sit-ins to protest against the government’s "money politics."

  On April 15th, the American people staged a sit-in protest against "money politics" for the fifth day. The picture shows the American people holding slogans at the protest site.

  In order to let the public know "America’s corrupt electoral system and hypocritical electoral law", since April 11th, protesters from 33 states in the United States have staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the square of the US Capitol. They shouted slogans such as "end money politics and ensure fair elections", "drive money out of politics", "return Congress to the people" and "end money corruption and ensure free and fair elections", demanding that Congress take immediate action to implement changes, eradicate systematic corruption and abandon money politics. As of April 16, local time, the continuous protests in front of the Capitol Square in the United States have caused more than 900 arrests, breaking the record of the largest number of arrests in the Capitol Square.

  "In this environment, everything is controlled by big companies, even the government, and the people are the most powerless."

  Every day, many protesters are arrested for "illegal demonstrations, assemblies and obstruction of justice". According to reports, the protest was supported by hundreds of non-governmental organizations, and more than 4,000 people registered on the organizer’s website, risking their arrest to express their "determination to regain their own democracy."

  A protester stepped on stilts and wore clothes made of American flag, which were covered with trademarks of big American companies. He told this reporter: "We live in such an environment, everything is controlled by big companies, even the government, and the most powerless is the people who have votes."

  Andrea Ray, plastered with homemade "Dollar" slogans, tore off a piece of "million denomination" green paper and gave it to reporters, jokingly saying, "Maybe you can run for parliament, too."

  Christian, a musician from Chicago, wrote: "Democracy means that beggars at the bottom of society who beg in the street and rich people who live in luxury villas all have the same vote. If money is in charge, there is no equality between them … … Whether it was signed at the beginning or now, the spirit of equality in the Declaration of Independence has never been realized. " He believes that this struggle "is not about the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but about the definition of democracy and the American spirit".

  Demonstrators stated on their website: "From the campaign for voting rights that began in the 1960s to the recent ‘ Occupy Wall Street ’ Move to ‘ Black people’s lives are at stake ’ Movement, the American people showed great strength. These non-violent movements quickly changed the political climate and kicked off reforms that seemed impossible before. " The protests in front of the Capitol let the American media lament that the "democratic spring" is coming to Washington. However, some media do not agree with this, thinking that this is just a replica of "Occupy Wall Street". Christopher Green, a media person and founder of "Alternative Media Television", is pessimistic about whether the protesters’ goals can be achieved. He said: "Most Americans know that the problem of democracy in the United States is systematic and the elections in the United States are rigged. Of course, the American people have reason to be angry, because politics is dominated by money, which is also one of the root causes of oligarchy and populism in the United States. Money will not disappear from the election. Looking closely at this year’s general election, you will find that money is still the dominant force. "

  "Everything here needs to change, but I don’t see any politician with this ambition. Maybe only we can bring about change."

  The "Election Justice Project" jointly completed by the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University and the School of Government and International Relations of the University of Sydney holds that the United States has the worst elections in established democracies, especially in terms of election fund-raising and voter registration. According to the data provided by the non-governmental organization "On our behalf", in the past five years, the 200 most politically active companies in the United States spent a total of $5.8 billion to influence US policy making and obtained a total economic return of $4.4 trillion.

  The year of election is often also a year when "money politics" is highly active. In the eyes of these protesters, Washington is increasingly addicted to "money politics", while big companies and rich people manipulate politics, damaging people’s right to participate in politics on an equal footing. In 2016, the United States will hold presidential elections and congressional elections. Some analysts estimate that this year’s presidential election expenses are expected to exceed $5 billion, easily breaking the record of $2 billion set in 2012 and becoming the "most expensive election" in American history.

  When analyzing the relationship between money and politics a few days ago, the website of the American "Atlantic" monthly magazine said ironically that people are generally aware of the problem of money in politics, and even Sanders of the Democratic Party and Trump of the Republican Party agree with this. Throughout the campaign, Sanders complained about the corrupt influence of wealthy donors and corporate donors, while Trump exposed the whole game, saying that he had sent money to politicians to curry favor with them. And the results of these two people’s elections show that people hate the role that money plays in politics.

  Wendell Porter, an American political writer, believes that the "Democratic Spring" is regarded as a protest led by the left wing of the Democratic Party. In fact, the right wing of the Republican Party has also joined in, because everyone is concerned about what is wrong with our democracy.

  Some people who participated in this sit-in demonstration were supporters of Sanders and wore signs supporting him, but they made it clear that all the candidates, including Sanders, did not do enough. Bob, the chef who came from Baltimore to participate in the protest, said, "Everything needs to change, but I don’t see any politician with this ambition. Maybe only we can bring about change."

  "Our politics and democracy have been riddled with holes. It’s a shame that the American media didn’t come to report and needed foreign media to deliver these news!"

  USA Today commented frankly: "Protesters still don’t get the kind of public attention they want." Arousing public concern and promoting the reform of the electoral system is the biggest goal of the protesters, but from beginning to end, the protesters have never aroused the "passion" of the American media.

  According to the statistics of "Interceptor" website, more than 400 people were arrested in the demonstration sit-in on the 11th, and the American media remained silent. CNN did not report it, while the reporting time of Microsoft National Cable Broadcasting Corporation and Fox TV was only 12 seconds and 17 seconds respectively. Not only in the reporting time, but also in the content, both media said that the protesters were concerned about the issue of election rights, without mentioning the slogans of "opposing systematic political corruption" and "opposing money politics". In contrast, when an anti-Muslim demonstration took place in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2015, CNN made a long live broadcast. At the scene of this protest, demonstrators shouted "Where is CNN?"

  A protester named Williams told this reporter that the media did not report because big media groups have close ties with "those in power". For example, Comcast, the largest cable TV and broadband network operator in the United States, is an important interest group, an important donor of the two parties and the parent company of Microsoft National Cable Broadcasting Corporation. According to Elizabeth Werner, vice-chairman of Cantar, a media analysis agency, the candidates will spend $4.4 billion on TV advertisements in this year’s general election.

  Amir Breka, from Kentucky, told this reporter: "I voted for Senate Majority Leader McConaughey twice, and now I have lost my job. He has done nothing, and the Senate he led has done nothing, not even discussing the approval of the nomination of the Supreme Court Justice. As long as Congress is not thoroughly reformed, the future of this country is the same. "

  When it comes to the absence of American media, Peter in North Carolina is quite helpless: "I risked being arrested to protest in front of the Capitol to arouse people’s attention. Our politics and democracy are already riddled with holes, and the American media actually don’t report it. It’s a shame that foreign media are needed to convey this news to the American people!"

  Adakova, a policeman on duty, told the protesters around him: "Go home quickly. It’s useless for you to protest here. Do you think people in Congress can hear you?" Williams was indignant: "Politics in Washington must be changed. We believe in our own strength. "
