北京2月20日电 题, 你的小目标就是这个国家的大信心

  过了元宵节,按照传统习俗,2019年春节就算是画上了句号。充满亲情的年节过完了,这就意味着新的征程又将开启。
  不论是已经回到工作岗位的上班族,还是正在收拾行装准备外出的务工者,不论是即将开工的企业工厂,还是又要开学的莘莘学子……经过年节的沉淀,每个人都在整理着自己的思绪与规划。在朋友圈里,在互动区里,在相互交谈中,人们深刻感受着彼此对未来人生热烈的憧憬,对美好生活执着的向往——要通过自己的努力让收入更高一些,可以租个大点儿的房子把孩子接到身边,希望订单接到手软,祈祷考上心仪的学校……每个人都有自己的小目标,丰富而多彩;每个人都找到了努力的方向,充实而笃定。
  “对于一只盲目的船来说,所有方向的风都是逆风。”“无目标的努力,有如在黑暗中远征。”古老的谚语告诉人们,拥有目标是一件多么重要的事情,为实现目标而奋斗是一种多么难能可贵的品格。勤劳勇敢的中国人,正是这样一群有目标、敢奋斗的追梦人,因为深知美好生活要靠双手创造、幸福都是奋斗出来的,所以不惧风雨、不惧路远,在自己目标的轨道里坚定前行,以奋斗的姿态绘就这个国家最生动的图景。
  当近14亿中国人都在信心满满地向着小目标奔跑的时候,这个国家前进的步伐就是扎扎实实的,这个国家未来的愿景就是清晰而饱满的。
  家是最小国,国是千万家。家与国,从来两相依;个体价值、家庭梦想的实现,从来都与国家民族的命运紧密相连。个体在努力创造幸福人生的同时,也在参与创造伟大时代——一个个小目标串联在一起、融汇在一起,搭建起不断向上的阶梯,凝聚成持续向前的势与能,让国家可以走向更高、走得更远;个体在为民族复兴贡献力量的同时,也在共享人生出彩的机会——中国梦是每一个中国人的梦,个人梦想的达成推动国家梦想的实现,国家梦想的实现保障个人梦想的达成,让一个个小目标在现实中落地、生花。
  当人民对美好生活的向往成为国家的奋斗目标,当个体梦想与国家梦想融为一体,每一个人都是新时代的奋斗者,你的小目标就是这个国家的大信心。
  大自然的春天已经来临,小草正在积蓄勃发的力量,树木也在悄悄孕育新芽。奋斗的春天正吹响号角,一年一度全国两会脚步渐近,诸多大事、要事、喜事也将接连登场。2019年的画卷已经铺开,有山峦等待攀登,有河流等待跨越,有果实等待采摘,有美好生活等待开创。
  请带上你的小目标,从这个春天出发,满怀信心,向前去!

"Real estate, financial shares drag Philippine market"
Picture
BANGKOK, February 19 -- Philippine stocks fell the most on Tuesday dragged by losses in the real estate and financial stocks, as most of the Southeast Asian equity markets ended lower, while Malaysia gained as investors took positions amid the earnings season.
​
The Philippine index dropped about 1% to its lowest level since Jan 8, dragged by losses in real estate and financial stocks. "The Philippine market right now is in search of a new catalyst and with none in sight, some investors are already choosing to take profit," said Rachelle Cruz, an analyst with AP Securities. BDO Unibank Inc shed 3.2%, while Ayala Land Inc dropped 3.7% to close at its lowest level since Jan 3. "Ayala Corp has $293 million worth of bonds that are exchangeable to shares of ALI and that will mature by that time (in May). Some investors may look to cash in, exerting a downward pressure on ALI's share price," a note from RCBC securities said.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian index gained 0.8% to a three-month closing high on the back of materials and utilities. Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd rose 3.9% ahead of its fourth quarter result announcement. Shares of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd strengthened more than 1%, after posting a jump in quarterly net profit.

Real estate stocks drove the Vietnam index marginally higher, with Vinhomes JSC and Vingroup JSC rising 6.1% and 2%, respectively. Singapore and Indonesia indexes traded relatively lower.

为何叫“天河基地”?专家详解嫦娥四号着陆区域月球地理实体命名

​北京2月18日电 题:为何叫“天河基地”?专家详解嫦娥四号着陆区域月球地理实体命名

15日,国家航天局、中国科学院和国际天文学联合会向全世界发布了嫦娥四号着陆区域月球地理实体命名:嫦娥四号着陆点命名为天河基地;着陆点周围呈三角形排列的三个环形坑,分别命名为织女、河鼓和天津;着陆点所在冯·卡门坑内的中央峰命名为泰山。

探月工程总设计师、中国工程院院士吴伟仁认为,这是由我们中国人在月球上提出的属于中国自己的命名,特别有意义,是我国月球探测工程科学数据成果在月球地理实体命名上的又一次重要应用。

天河在中国古代是对银河的一种别称,其在中文中又有“开创天之先河”之意,与嫦娥四号实现世界首次月背软着陆及巡视勘察的历史地位相符。织女、河鼓和天津均为我国古代天文星图“三垣四象二十八宿”中的星官,其中织女和河鼓属于二十八宿的牛宿,天津属于二十八宿的女宿。

嫦娥四号任务地面应用系统总指挥、中科院国家天文台副台长李春来介绍,三个星官分别位于现代星座划分的天琴座、天鹰座和天鹅座,三个星座所包含最亮的恒星分别为织女一(俗称织女星)、河鼓二(俗称牛郎星)和天津四,这三颗明亮的恒星构成了著名的“夏季大三角”,命名的织女、河鼓和天津在月面上近似再现了这一天文现象。

七夕夜晚的星图中,织女星位于银河的西侧,与东侧的牛郎星隔银河遥遥相对,天津四则位于北方位置,处于银河之中。天津作为古代星官其寓意为“银河渡口,跨越银河的桥梁”,在中国古代神话传说中为护送牛郎织女的仙女。天河、织女、河鼓和天津这四个名称与中继星“鹊桥”名称相呼应,组成了高度关联、内涵丰富、情节完整的名称体系。

泰山以我国五岳之首山东省境内的泰山而命名,位于嫦娥四号着陆点西北方向约46公里处,其“海拔”高度为-4305米,相对冯·卡门坑面高度约为1565米。泰山是我国首次获得的“山”类月球地理实体名称的自主命名,这也是自1985年后33年的时间里国际天文学联合会再一次批准命名“山”这一类月球地理实体名称。

据悉,月球地理实体命名活动始于17世纪初期的欧洲,后来转移到20世纪月球观测和探测活动较多的美国和苏联。目前,月球地理实体命名的管理和审批是由世界各国公认的权威天文学术组织——国际天文学联合会负责。

“月球地理实体的命名必须遵循国际天文学联合会的各种规则和程序,并且任何研究者都有权基于科学研究的需要向国际天文学联合会申报月球地理实体的命名。”李春来说。

探月工程副总指挥、国家航天局探月与航天工程中心主任刘继忠介绍,2010年8月和2015年10月分别获得国际天文学联合会批复的嫦娥一号和嫦娥三号着陆区地理实体名称后,我国于2019年1月第三次向国际天文学联合会提出了嫦娥四号月球地理实体命名的申请,并于2019年2月4日获得国际天文学联合会批准,三次自主申请命名获批的月球地理实体名称共计12个。

MUNICH, February 17 -- Japanese and Russian foreign ministers have agreed on that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will pay a visit to Tokyo soon, Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono told reporters on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. 
​
"We have agreed on to organize the upcoming visit of Sergey Lavrov to Japan," Kono said, according to the Kyodonews agency, stressing that the problem of signing a peace treaty cannot be solved overnight. "This is a problem, a solution to which has not been found for more than 70 years. But I would like to make joint efforts [with Russia] in order to achieve this goal," the Japanese foreign minister said. After talks with his Japanese counterpart, Lavrov told reporters that Russian and Japanese Deputy Foreign Ministers Igor Morgulov and Takeo Mori would hold consultations on a peace treaty in the coming weeks, and a round of strategic dialogue at the level of first deputies is scheduled for April 2.

"We agreed with Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono on our further work. We have deputies, who are in charge of this effort between the meetings of foreign ministers, at the instruction of the Russian president and the Japanese prime minister," he said. "The deputies will hold this contact in the coming weeks, and then we will decide on a new meeting of the ministers, this time on the Japanese territory."
Earlier, Japanese mass media reported that the Russian foreign minister’s visit to Japan could take place in March or April 2019, but the Japanese Foreign Minister has not officially confirmed this information.

“我军政治工作只能加强不能削弱,只能前进不能停滞,只能积极作为不能被动应对”
Picture
北京2月17日电 题:浴火古田,人民军队重整行装再出发

新华社记者梅世雄 解放军报记者梁蓬飞、欧阳浩 

福建上杭古田镇,常年游人如织。

参观古田会议会址,瞻仰毛主席纪念园,品尝“红军饭”……这片两次见证人民军队涅槃的红色热土,有着无穷的魅力。
2014年金秋,习主席亲率数百名将领和部分优秀基层代表来到这里,召开全军政治工作会议,着眼强国强军进行新的政治整训,带领人民军队重整行装再出发。
今天,我们千里来寻故地,追寻习主席在古田的点点滴滴,感悟习近平强军思想的真理伟力和实践威力,再次接受思想淬炼和精神洗礼。

  “我们再次来到这里,目的是寻根溯源,深入思考当初是从哪里出发的、为什么出发的。”虽然已经过去了4年多,习主席语重心长的话语,仍深深刻在乐焰辉心头。
  时任原第二炮兵某旅教导员的乐焰辉,一直珍藏着参加古田全军政治工作会议时的笔记本,上面密密麻麻记录着习主席重要讲话要点。
  从坚持“十一个优良传统”到“四个牢固立起来”,从确立“军队好干部标准”到培养“四有”新时代革命军人……乐焰辉说,习主席在古田全军政治工作会议上的重要论述,如今已深入人心。
  “我军政治工作只能加强不能削弱,只能前进不能停滞,只能积极作为不能被动应对。”习主席的指示要求,让与会代表深受鼓舞。
  乐焰辉告诉记者,这几年他们扎实做好贯彻古田全军政治工作会议精神的“下篇文章”,从思想根子抓起,着力解决世界观、人生观、价值观这个“总开关”问题,激励官兵在强军实践中书写精彩人生。有时外出执行急难险重任务,一些官兵会主动写下遗书,在他们看来,这是一种决心和象征:军人的忠诚,就是要听党指挥、敢于牺牲。
  “维护核心、看齐追随,是最大的忠诚。”采访中,曾参加古田全军政治工作会议的许多领导干部都有这样的感悟。4年多来,全军官兵强化“四个意识”、坚定“三个维护”,用实际行动交出了一份份忠诚答卷。纪念抗战胜利70周年阅兵,受阅官兵阵容严整、步调一致;抗洪救灾、抢险救援,子弟兵一次次上演“最美逆行”;海上维权、国际维和,任务部队枕戈待旦、闻令而动;全面停止有偿服务,各单位令行禁止、扎实推进……
  “作风建设这根弦要始终绷得紧紧的。”古田全军政治工作会议后,习主席的深思远虑始终萦绕在时任某炮兵团政委朱江耳旁。
  “习主席用了很大篇幅对部队中特别是领导干部存在的10个方面突出问题作了深刻剖析,言语间饱含着革弊鼎新的决心。”朱江回忆说,习主席专门讲到焦裕禄同志严格要求子女,不准孩子“看白戏”的故事,让现场每一个人都深受触动。
  这几年,党中央、中央军委和习主席强力惩贪肃腐,坚持无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍,坚持重遏制、强高压、长震慑,严肃查处郭伯雄、徐才厚、房峰辉、张阳等人严重违纪违法案件,全面彻底肃清他们的流毒影响,为党和军队消除了重大隐患,军队反腐败斗争压倒性态势已经形成并巩固发展。
  风成于上,俗化于下。朱江介绍,这些年他所在的部队按照中央八项规定和军委十项规定精神狠抓落实,发挥基层风气监察联系点作用,从一包烟、一杯酒、一顿饭等“小事”着手,下大力纠治基层“微腐败”和不正之风,对官兵反映强烈的突出问题严查严办。连续几年,官兵对党委机关满意度不断提升,去年的老兵复退和士官选取工作赢得官兵点赞:“留的硬气,走的服气,部队上下有正气!”
  “古田全军政治工作会议开启的政治整训,让官兵感受到了实实在在的变化。”朱江感慨地说,习主席在关键时刻扶危定倾,军队政治生态实现根本好转,我们都是见证者和受益者。在新时代政治建军方略指引下,人民军队在“补钙”中向初心回归。

  古田全军政治工作会议期间,习主席邀请基层代表同坐一桌吃“红军饭”,余海龙就坐在习主席身边。
  “习主席得知我是空降兵,关心地问起空降兵的训练情况。我一一认真作答。”
  “没有两把真刷子的干部在关键时刻能带兵打仗吗?”在古田全军政治工作会议上,习主席的拷问深深震撼着每名代表的心。
  余海龙说,习主席的话是对自己的最大鞭策。这些年,不论是作为指导员还是如今当上教导员,他都把自己视为一线战斗员,坚持“跳第一伞”“打第一枪”,带领官兵争当黄继光式的战斗英雄。去年10月底,他所在的空降兵某军组织新机型跳伞训练,百余名将校军官带头跳伞,以上率下立起大抓军事训练的鲜明导向。
  古田全军政治工作会议上,习主席得知基层代表张学东是海军372潜艇政委,同他谈起该艇官兵成功处置重大险情的情况。
  “只要你们带好兵,强军梦就有希望。”习主席的话,张学东一字一句铭记在心,并以此作为自己带领部队苦练精兵的不竭动力。

生态环境部最新部署:严查生态保护调门高行动少问题

17/2/2019

北京2月17日电 近日,生态环境部部署全面从严治党任务 严查生态保护调门高行动少问题

记者近日从生态环境部获悉,生态环境系统今年将按照中央纪委三次全会部署,切实扛起整治形式主义、官僚主义的重要政治任务,抓紧抓实抓好生态环境保护工作,严肃查处生态环境保护工作中表态调门高、实际行动少,甚至说一套、做一套,有令不行、有禁不止的形式主义、官僚主义问题,严肃问责虚假整改、表面整改等问题。

据了解,生态环境系统深入贯彻落实全面从严治党政治责任,持之以恒正风肃纪反腐,取得积极进展和明显成效,但违规违纪违法问题仍时有发生。生态环境部近两年来共有25起违反中央八项规定精神问题受到查处,其中12起为违规接受管理服务对象和私营企业主宴请,从“吃公款”变为“吃老板”,违纪行为更为隐蔽。2018年,全国纪检监察机关共处分环保部门工作人员4561人,比2017年上升2.5%。此外,为深刻汲取中国环境科学研究院原院长孟伟严重违纪违法案教训,该系统还于去年7月至12月开展了“以案为鉴,营造良好政治生态”专项治理,几十名党员干部主动向组织检讨问题,上交违纪所得,认错悔错改错。

值得一提的是,此前召开的全国生态环境系统全面从严治党工作视频会议还披露了该系统监督执纪和贯彻落实中央八项规定精神“回头看”中发现的管党治党不严不实的问题。比如,有的单位工作敷衍,违纪党员干部提交的检讨材料出现大段抄袭,纪委负责同志不认真审核把关,当“二传手”转交上报;有的基层党组织对个别党员在花名册中几年都是“预备党员”的现象熟视无睹;有的基层党组织民主生活会走过场,没有见人见事见思想。

“全国生态环境系统各级党组织和广大党员干部要力戒‘不思进取、不接地气、不抓落实、不敢担当’等形式主义、官僚主义问题,扎扎实实推进全面从严治党,以良好作风和精神状态打好打胜污染防治攻坚战。”生态环境部党组书记、部长李干杰表示。

'No proof' Myanmar military persecuted Rohingya: army chief

16/2/2019

YANGON, February 16 -- Myanmar's powerful army chief has given a rare foreign media interview to insist there was no "certain proof" the military had persecuted the country's stateless Rohingya Muslim community.

Around 740,000 Rohingya fled over the border into Bangladesh after a bloody military campaign in 2017. The UN condemned the crackdown as ethnic cleansing and investigators called for top military leaders, including Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, to be prosecuted for genocide. But the military has maintained its operations were justified to root out Rohingya insurgents following a series of deadly attacks on police posts and has denied nearly all allegations of wrongdoing.

In an interview Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper published Friday, Min Aung Hlaing doubled down on previous claims, arguing "there is no certain proof that the national army was involved in the persecution" of Rohingya. The army chief added that accusations the military committed atrocities "hurts the nation's dignity". Min Aung Hlaing rarely speaks to the press and has instead preferred to communicate over Facebook, but the social media giant kicked him off the platform last year for his role in stoking hate speech. His comments were at odds with testimony from Rohingya in the crowded, sprawling camps in Bangladesh. The refugees have recounted widespread murder, rape, torture and the burning of entire villages to the ground at the hands of Myanmar soldiers. A UN probe report released in September also outlined atrocities committed by the military in meticulous and searing detail. It said Myanmar's "clearance operations" were disproportionate to the insurgent attacks and cited prior troop deployments as evidence of premeditation.

Investigators called for Myanmar to be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) but any road to prosecution would be long and fraught with political difficulties at the UN. Aung San Suu Kyi's civilian government remains in a fragile power-sharing agreement with the military, which holds three key ministries and a quarter of parliamentary seats.

Suu Kyi's international reputation lies in tatters for refusing to stand up for the Rohingya. In Myanmar, the Rohingya are widely seen as interlopers from Bangladesh and have been denied citizenship, rights and access to services for decades under what Amnesty International calls apartheid-like conditions.

教育部:不得通过微信和QQ布置作业

北京2月16日电 近日,浙江等地严禁使用学习类APP布置作业;学校方面称电子设备和软件容易分散孩子的注意力
​

  “教师不得通过手机微信和QQ等方式布置作业……”,一则教育部针对政协委员提案的回复,让“禁止电子作业”成为关注焦点。
  近段时间以来,教育部持续下达“减负令”,有关学校对学生及家长布置和提交作业的话题也讨论不断。不久前,浙江发布《加强青少年近视防控工作意见(征求意见稿)》,拟禁止学校使用APP布置作业,原则上采用纸质作业,成为“第一个吃螃蟹”的地区。
  “妈妈,我今天留的什么作业来着?”自学校老师通过微信群布置作业以来,每到做作业时间,河北省某学校六年级学生晨晨都会习惯地向妈妈提问。
  不仅是布置作业方式,晨晨做作业的平台也转到了线上。
  如今,电子作业对中小学生来说越来越平常,“这种方式可以让家长随时掌握孩子的学习进度情况,并与学校一同督促孩子完成作业。”但晨晨妈也有苦恼,APP上的趣味“游戏”总会让孩子“流连忘返”,“我担心长时间使用对视力有影响。”
  政策
  多地规范学习类APP使用

  针对全国政协委员此前提出的《关于停止小学老师用手机微信和QQ对学生及家长布置和提交作业的提案》,近日,教育部在官网上做出回复称:明确教师不得通过手机微信和QQ等方式布置作业,或将批改作业的任务交给家长,避免出现“学校减负、社会增负,教师减负、家长增负”等现象。
  不久前的2月12日,浙江省教育厅联合多部门,发布征求《浙江省教育厅等九部门关于全面加强儿童青少年近视防控工作的意见(征求意见稿)》公告,明确严禁使用APP布置作业。福建省也曾出台明确规定:原则上不布置电子家庭作业,确有需要的,初、高中生每日电子作业总时间不长于20分钟并向学校报备。
  事实上,自去年起,儿童青少年电子产品使用就已成为监管重点。2018年8月,教育部等八部门联合下发《综合防控儿童青少年近视实施方案》,要求学校布置作业不依赖电子产品,原则上采用纸质作业;教学不依赖电子产品,使用电子产品开展教学时长原则上不超过教学总时长的30%。
  家长
  担心APP不良内容对孩子造成不利影响

  “孩子都处在被APP包围的大环境中,一味禁止不合适。”北京市海淀区花园村第二小学家长、校理事会理事长黄中表示。在他看来,信息时代成长的孩子,无法避免与各种APP“打交道”,学会健康使用信息化产品,如善用电脑搜索需要的资料,是新型人才必备的技能。
  也有家长支持限制使用学习类APP。东城区板厂小学学生家长陈女士认为,APP上的一些游戏甚至不良内容,会对孩子造成不利影响。回归传统的纸笔作业,对孩子来说是好事。
  近期,黄中对学校家长进行了一次不记名问卷调查。结果显示,有过半数家庭安装有1至3个教育APP,有近三成家庭有3到5个APP。APP用途方面,有76%的被调查者表示用于完成学校老师布置的作业,还有59.5%的被调查者利用APP学习其他知识,如英语口语等。
  对于纸笔作业替代线上形式,有43.8%的家长表示赞同,原因包括使用APP时间过长影响视力、孩子容易被APP上的小游戏吸引等。
  学校
  电子设备辅助教学不可避免

  实际上,学校早已启动教育信息化实践。记者了解到,在不少地区的中小学校里,采用APP布置线上作业、利用微信群等布置作业是非常普遍的做法。在教育信息化浪潮下,信息化技术及设备渗透到每一个教学环节,有不少APP进入校园,有些从教学场景切入,有些则从作业场景切入,例如“一起作业”(后更名“一起教育科技”)“作业盒子”等。
  “利用信息化设备辅助教学能够提高教学效率是毋庸置疑的”,北京教科院丰台学校校长张广利表示。在不少学校老师看来,教育信息化是大势所趋,利用电脑等智能硬件辅助教学已成为趋势,电子设备辅助教学不可避免,未来可能会更加频繁。
  不过北京教科院丰台学校很少利用电子设备布置和让学生完成作业。张广利称,原因是很难保证孩子正确使用电子设备,家长也很难随时监督。“电子设备和软件很容易分散孩子的注意力,很多自制力较差的孩子以做作业为名,看一些与学习无关的东西。”
  除此之外,基于移动互联网和即时通讯工具的普及,几乎每个班级都建立了微信群辅助实现“家校共育”,不少老师会利用群聊发布作业、通知等。
  但这种方式也存在争议。朝阳区某学校一位不愿具名的老师表示,通过微信群等线上渠道布置作业有利有弊,一方面可让家长了解孩子在学校的学习进度,帮助监督孩子;另一方面也可能让孩子形成依赖,自己不记作业,不利于孩子独立自理能力养成。
  北京教育学院附属丰台实验学校校长郝玉伟认为,不同年龄段孩子的理解力、接受力不同,所对应的作业形式也应该多样化。只要有益于学生发展,各种完成作业方式都可以,不能抛开作业的作用和目的单纯谈形式。
  ■ 行业影响
  学习类APP将面临转型

  i-EDU教育产业投资人俱乐部高级分析师王妍认为,浙江省的相关意见如按照目前征求意见稿的版本实施,将对学习类APP中的工具类APP产生较大影响,尤其是“帮助老师完成作业分发和批改”的APP。
  近年来,应用市场上涌现了不少提供作业批改、自动生成试卷等服务的APP产品。“若浙江省的相关意见落地,提供相应功能的APP或将面临业务的调整。”王妍说。一方面,在线工具类APP切入场景或将向教育信息化方向转型;另一方面,在线工具类APP的业务更加丰富,习题辅导或课程培训或许会成为主要功能。
  事实上,对于学习类APP监管早已有之。去年年底,教育部下发《关于严禁有害APP进入中小学校园的通知》,要求各地要建立学习类APP进校备案审查制度,“凡进必审”。
  随着多项政策相应落地,王妍认为,“技术是实现教育个性化需求的一种工具,将老师从更多重复的工作中解放出来,针对性进行教学,有助于更好地为学生服务。政府监管也是旨在规范相关APP的使用,让学生更健康地成长。如何充分利用好互联网为教学体质增效,是长期需要探讨的命题。”
  ■ 专家声音
  学习类APP不应禁用不如进行管理和甄别

  “因为担心学习类APP带来的负面影响而完全禁止,不免有些因噎废食。”教育部高中信息技术课程标准修订组核心成员、四川省教育科学研究院特级教师李维明表示。
  在他看来,教育APP能让学生随时随地进行碎片化学习。随着教育信息化节奏加快,将有越来越多的教育技术、教育产品参与到教学各个环节。目前看来,进入学校的学习类APP多以老师或教育部门推荐为主,学生自主选择空间不大。
  “学校引进这些APP,更多考虑的是如何实施教学计划,而不是从学生角度出发。”李维明认为,需要从顶层设计上规范APP进校园。例如,某个地区、省市基于当地的教学情况和学生水平有规划地引进相应产品,且与各个学科的课程设计有机结合,物尽其用。
  “从课堂步入社会,碎片化学习会更加频繁地出现在孩子工作和生活中,学习类APP的应用也将越来越深入。与其一味限制,不如多进行管理甄别,让更多优秀的产品为学生所用。”

Vietnamese airlines get Access to US for First time

15/2/2019

WASHINGTON, February 15 -- Vietnamese airlines will be able to fly to the United States and code share with American carriers after the US Federal Aviation Administration declared the country complies with international safety standards.

The US aviation safety agency said in a statement late on Thursday that it was awarding Vietnam a “Category 1” rating, two weeks after Reuters reported the decision was expected. “It’s recognition by a very developed aviation authority which requires a very high standard of safety and security,” Vietnamese Deputy Transport Minister Nguyen Ngoc Dong told Reuters on Friday. There are currently no non-stop flights between Vietnam and the United States, despite a large market catering to tourism and visits by friends and relatives. Vietnam Airlines, Bamboo Airways and VietJet Aviation desire to fly to the United States.

Bamboo Airways chairman Trinh Van Quyet said Bamboo was considering destinations such as Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco, with the first route to open in late 2020 or early 2021. His airline has ordered 20 Boeing Co 787s for long-haul flights. Capa Centre for Aviation chief analyst Brendan Sobie said the FAA rating was important for Vietnam symbolically and politically.
But he said Vietnamese airlines could struggle to make US flights profitable because of the lack of demand from high-paying business travellers.

“For Vietnam Airlines, launching routes to the US is our political responsibility as a national airline. Whether or not the route is commercially feasible depends quite a lot on technical issues and aircraft,” the airline said in a statement. Vietnam Airlines said it was in talks with Airbus and Boeing about potential jet purchases for the US route, but the earliest they were expected to arrive was in 2022. In the meantime its existing codeshares with Delta Air Lines could be expanded after the rating.
Budget carrier VietJet said it plans to purchase wide-body jets capable of non-stop US flights and believes its experience in keeping costs down will give it an effective business model. “We plan to open routes to cities with Vietnamese communities living in the United States such as in California, serving the large travelling and commercial demand from customers,” VietJet’s vice president To Viet Thang said in a statement. The FAA last year sent a team to Vietnam to conduct a safety assessment. Vietnam’s rapidly growing aviation market saw traffic increase 16% on average each year from 2010 to 2017, government data shows. Its airlines are major customers of Boeing and Airbus.

BANGKOK, February 14 -- The Stock Exchange of Thailand index ended lower, while other Southeast Asian stock markets closed higher on Thursday as a surprise jump in monthly Chinese trade data brought slight relief amid continued focus on Sino-US talks.

The SET index eased 3.09 points or 0.19% to 1,652.64, in turnover of 45.88 billion baht, despite gains in shares of telecom operators. True Corporation jumped 25 satang or 4.81% to 5.45 baht, Advanced Info Service added 2.50 baht or 1.37% to 184.50 and Jasmine International ended 25 satang or 4.24% higher to 6.15 baht. PTT shares however dropped 75 satang or 1.53% to 48.25 baht. The region's biggest trading partner, China, reported better-than-expected trade figures for January, easing some fears of an imminent slowdown in the economic powerhouse. High-level talks between the country and the United States have been a major focal point for markets this week. US President Donald Trump is considering a 60-day extension of the Mar 1 deadline for higher tariffs on Chinese imports, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources.

The Philippine benchmark firmed 0.9% to snap four consecutive sessions of losses and led the gains among its regional peers. Financial stocks were the biggest boost to the index, with BDO Unibank Inc rising 2.3% to post its best close in nearly 11-months. Asian fast-food giant Jollibee Foods Corp jumped 1.7% and was also among the top gainers on the Philippine benchmark after reporting a rise in fourth-quarter net income. Philippine markets had seen large outflows over the past four sessions as foreign investors rebalanced their portfolios.

Meanwhile, the Vietnam stock exchange continued to gain for the fourth straight day, closing 0.8% up, supported by a persisting rally in the country's real estate sector. Property developers Vingroup JSC and Vincom Retail JSC gained 3.6% each. "(The) Vietnamese market has been moving in a positive direction on Wall Street cues. Investor sentiment has also been supported by a possibly positive outcome of the Trump – Kim summit slated for Hanoi later this month," said a stock broker with SSI Securities Corp. "Traditionally, cashflows into the market in Vietnam are often strong in the first quarter of the year as several corporate investors have abundant cash at hands."

The Malaysian index ticked up 0.2%, after data showed on Thursday that the country's economy expanded 4.7% in the October-December quarter from a year earlier, in line with expectations, ending four quarters of slowing growth.
​
Singapore's index ended 0.3% higher ahead of a fourth-quarter GDP report due on Friday. The country's economy likely grew at a slower pace than initially estimated as growth in the city-state's manufacturing and services sectors came under strain from slowing demand, a Reuters poll showed.
