http://www.authenticyankeesprostore.com/yankees-luis-severino-jersey/ , Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Small schools in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region have "gone digital", meaning that all 63,600 of the country's small schools now have access to digital teaching devices and resources.
Small schools, or the official term "teaching spots", are seen by many as the weakest link in China's elementary education. Most are nestled in remote and mountainous areas; are understaffed; and, as a result, were often unable to offer all eight compulsory subjects to elementary-level students.
To ensure rural children have access to quality education
http://www.authenticyankeesprostore.com/yankees-lou-gehrig-jersey/ , the education and finance ministries initiated a joint program in November 2012 to install information technology at all education centers.
During the past two years, government funds have financed the installation of digital satellite receivers, computers, flat-screen TVs and electronic whiteboards, enabling the small schools to utilize standardized digital teaching resources.
The program is changing the educational landscape.
Ma Fujun, 48, is the only registered teacher in Huayagou Primary School in Xinmin Village

"It's hard to attract teachers because of transportation issues," Ma said. "I cannot teach all three classes alone."
The digital program has really helped Ma.
"We can offer all compulsory subjects now. Distance education means our kids can have music, art and English classes, and their Chinese and math levels are advancing thanks to other people's teaching methods."
"We like to have classes on the computers, especially music ," said student Yu Jiaojiao

Primary schools are required to offer eight courses to grade one, two and three students in China -- Chinese, math, English, ethics, science, music

Facebook Inc offered reassurances to investors on Wednesday that its digital ad business would remain highly profitable, despite a dip in usage on the social media network and an overhaul of its flagship News Feed.
The company said in an earnings report that quarterly revenue jumped 47 percent from a year earlier, and executives said on a conference call that they saw more chances to make money even if people spend less time on Facebook.
Analysts had wondered about the resilience of the world’s largest social media network, which is making changes to its products to deter foreign influence campaigns like ones that it says Russia has carried out and to stem the spread of sensationalism.
Facebook added to jitters after the bell on Wednesday when, in its earnings report, it said that at the end of last year time spent by users had fallen by about 50 million hours a day.
Shortly afterward, though

“I want to be clear: The most important driver of our business has never been time spent by itself. It’s the quality of the conversations and connections,” Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on the call.
Facebook management “acknowledged things that maybe most investors weren’t thinking about before — the reduction of users and usage — but at the same time they pointed to a lot of positive trends on their other platforms,” Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser said.
Although Facebook usage is down, he said, “One shouldn’t be reflectively negative on this.”
Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg told analysts that recent changes to reduce disinformation on Facebook could create “more monetization opportunities.”
Sandberg said she was optimistic about potential revenue from ads on “stories” on Facebook and Instagram, while Chief Financial Officer David Wehner said the average price per ad increased 43 percent in quarter.
“They said average revenue per ad was up a lot

“In other words, better quality engagement and better ability to target ads. The street probably likes that,” he said.
Facebook said that time spent was falling at the end of last year by about 50 million hours a day due to changes that it said reduced viral videos, even before the company announced a series of changes to the News Feed that may further reduce user engagement.
Facebook’s 1.4 billion daily active users was up 14 percent from a year earlier, but below analysts’ estimate of 1.41 billion for the fourth quarter
http://www.authenticyankeesprostore.com/yankees-jamie-garcia-jersey/ , according to financial data and analytics firm FactSet.
The number of daily users in the US and Canada fell for the first time in Facebook’s history.

HAVANA, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) -- About 100 Cuban children invited on board "Race for Water" in Havana's bay marveled at this solar, wind and water-powered, futuristic looking watercraft.
"It looks like a metallic island," Karen Silva, 12, told Xinhua as she gazed at the shiny 500-square-meter deck built entirely of solar panels
http://www.authenticyankeesprostore.com/yankees-jacoby-ellsbury-jersey/ , which help propel the vessel to sail the globe at the speed of about 5 knots, or 10 km, an hour.
Lithium batteries store energy for nighttime sailing or cloudy days, while sea water is processed into hydrogen gas to be converted into electricity to power propellers.
Add a 40-square-meter kite that can double the vessel's speed when winds are blowing and you have the model craft to raise environmental awareness about the plastic pollution of the world's oceans and what can be done about it.
In 2017, the Race for Water Foundation, started by Swiss entrepreneur Marco Simeoni, launched the vessel on its second world tour
