TAG-Confucius Institute is holding a new course to teach the basics of the Chinese language for beginners: A. Threshold Level for Adults: starting 09/08/2020 Schedule: Sunday - Tuesday from 6:00 – 8:00 pm B. Threshold Level for Kids : starting 08\08\2020 Schedule: Sunday - Tuesday from 6:00 – 8:00 pm *All Chinese language teachers are from China specialized in teaching Chinese language for foreigners and accredited by the Confucius Institute in China. TAG-Confucius Institute Received the Anti-Pandemic Drugs from the Center for Language Education and Cooperation On July 7, TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) received Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, the anti-pandemic drugs, from the Center for Language Education and Cooperation (CLEC), which is the second batch of anti-pandemic items TAG-CI received after the medical face masks from Chinese embassy in Jordan. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan in March, CLEC has been concerned about the health, safety and pandemic prevention and control of the teachers at TAG-CI. For this purpose, CLEC specially sent Lianhua Qingwen Capsules to TAG-CI staff. Although it took two and a half months on the way and two days for customs clearance, when the staff got the medicines, they felt very warm in their hearts at the moment, expressing gratitude to the leaders and teachers of CLEC for their care and love from thousands of miles away. With the great help of all parties, all the teachers and students of TAG-CI are safe and sound, and Chinese teaching is carried out in an orderly manner. The teachers will continue to stick to their posts, strengthen pandemic prevention and self-protection, and continue to do a good job in international Chinese education. 1 TAG-Confucius Newsletter Issue 50 - July 2020 TAG-Confucius Institute Successfully Launches Online Chinese Teaching During COVID-19 Pandemic During the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, some Confucius Institutes have launched online Chinese teaching and some plan to start online teaching. In order to meet the demand for online teaching, Confucius Institute Headquarters (now called Center for Language Education and Cooperation, CLEC) plans to further improve curriculum resources and provide support for CIs. For this purpose, CLEC selected TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) and a few others that have successfully launched online teaching to learn about the following aspects of online teaching. 1. What’s the platform for online teaching? 2. What’s the way of online teaching? Is it live streaming or will the course be recorded in advance and uploaded to the internet for students to choose freely? 3. What courses are mainly taught online currently? 4. Does online teaching have attendance management for students? Are there examinations and assessments? 5. Does the Confucius Institute or the student need to pay for the use of the platform or software? 6. What are the problems and difficulties in online teaching? 7. Other problems and suggestions for online teaching. After we fed back the online teaching status of TAG-CI to CLEC, TAG-CI was highly praised and recognized by Director and Project Officer of the Division of Asian and African CIs, who expressed that they would refer to and learn from TAG-CI’s practice. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Jordanian government announced that universities, secondary schools, primary schools, kindergartens and training institutions had to suspend offline teaching from March 15 and all employees should work from home. TAG-CI observed the government’s pandemic prevention measures and launched online teaching to ensure that the students can continue to learn Chinese without suspension. As early as December last year, during the International Chinese Language Education Conference, TAG-CI established friendly cooperative relationship with the Great Wall Chinese Center and started online and offline mixed teaching using the Great Wall Chinese Smart Cloud Platform. The teacher-in-charge of the Great Wall Chinese 2 TAG-Confucius Newsletter Issue 50 - July 2020 Center held online training especially for TAG-CI teachers and introduced how to conduct live streaming and how to use the teaching resources on the platform. For online teaching, TAG-CI is fully prepared from technical training and curriculum Design, laying a solid foundation for seamless connection and smooth progress from offline teaching to online teaching. During online teaching period, the teaching plan and curriculum arrangement of TAG- CI are the same as those of offline teaching, and the management mode is also the same, with students’ attendance records, assessment and examinations. Before class, the teacher upload the teaching PPT,audio, video and other relevant contents to the platform for sharing with the students. At the same time, the classroom activities suitable for online teaching are designed. In class, the teacher uses the uploaded materials and online “whiteboard” writing function, pictures, gestures, awarding trophies and other forms to fully mobilize students’ interest in learning Chinese. Students can use the “whiteboard” function to write answers to questions or to practice. Meanwhile, the teacher can interact with the students to know about their mastery of content in this class and their feedback, etc. In addition to using the platform for live streaming, the teachers also communicate with students through e-mail, WeChat, WhatsApp and other ways to complete personalized teaching operations such as teaching homework assignment, assessment, examination, document sharing and announcement publishing. Students can log in to the platform anytime and anywhere to participate in various learning activities. At the same time, the platform will record the students’ learning track, which is helpful for the teacher to monitor and analyze students’ learning situation. The teacher and the students can also use ZOOM or Tencent Meeting software to conduct online discussion or consultation. During the pandemic, how to use the online platform to complete language teaching and provide students with a lively, rich and interesting Chinese learning environment has always been a concern of TAG-CI. H.E. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh,Chairman of TAG.Global, has been advocating distance education and giving strong support to online teaching of TAG-CI. Shenyang Normal University, the partner university of TAG-CI, also attaches importance to online teaching of TAG-CI. TAG-CI will continue to make efforts to actively promote its development in the direction of informatization, diversification and digitization, and further promote language and cultural exchange and cooperation. 3 TAG-Confucius Newsletter Issue 50 - July 2020 TAG-Confucius Institute Holds Chinese Hard-Tipped Calligraphy Competition During COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese teaching events at TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) are still conducted online. In order to inspire students’ enthusiasm for learning Chinese, enrich daily teaching content, standardize Chinese characters writing, and display the charm of Chinese calligraphy, TAG-CI held an online Chinese hard-tipped calligraphy competition on July 19. The competition was divided into adult group and children group, and dozens of students participated in the competition. After more than two weeks of preparation, under the careful guidance of the teachers of TAG- CI, with the active cooperation and careful preparation of the students, the students submitted fascinating calligraphy works to TAG-CI with positive and delightful content, including Chinese classical poetry, modern poetry, prose, children’s rhymes, idiom stories, philosophical essays, classic articles in the textbooks, etc. Their writing is standard and pleasing to the eye; the paper looks neat and the layout is reasonable. After evaluation and scoring by the teachers, the final result of the calligraphy competition is that Rand Albakri won the first place of adult group; Emran Albaba and Yazan Mussa won the second and third place of adult group respectively. Abdallah Aldirini won the first place of children group; Reema Khashashneh and Esra Albaba won the second and third place of children’s group respectively. Chinese characters are an indispensable part of Chinese teaching. This calligraphy competition, from the selection of writing

    PROJECTS FOR : ANHAI a critical hypothesis for preservation and transformation Manuela Raitano Luca Reale PROJECTS «Projects For:» is a book series dedicated to architectural design in international FOR : contexts. Looking at our own way of practicing architecture through the lens of “difference” can help magnify its identity, pointing out its most relevant characters and providing an appropriate ground for critical thinking. Creating designs – or reflecting on projects – conceived for “elsewhere” can, in our opinion, become a powerful tool to understand how to make architecture. The series wants to provide a space dedicated to this critical activity, where the pretext of a specific lo- cation around the globe can serve as the center of gravity for design-oriented considerations.

  • Megalithic Stone Beam Bridges of Ancient China Reach the Limits of Strength and Challenge Size Effect in Granite
    Megalithic stone beam bridges of ancient China reach the limits of strength and challenge size effect in granite Ferdinando Bigoni1, Davide Bigoni1,*, Diego Misseroni1 and Dongdong Wang2 1 DICAM, University of Trento, via Mesiano 77, I-38123 Trento, Italy. 2 Civil Engineering Department, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China *Phone: +39 0461 282507; E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT In all ancient monuments stone beams and architraves have unsupported spans that seldom reach 7 m, while ordinary spans are usually much less. These structural elements were and still are believed to be prone to failure, so that several relieving systems (arches, chambers, gaps) were adopted through history to prevent collapse. The perception that stone beams could not exceed a certain span is coherent with the so-called size-effect theory of rock and concrete, which predicts that large elements are proportionally weaker than small ones. While the rest of the world started using architectural design to avoid these problems, in the Fujian region of China (near Xiamen) from the XI to the XII century megalithic stone beam bridges with spans of up to 21 m were being built. These bridges have resisted over the centuries. A spectacular example of these bridges, tending to disprove the size-effect theory and challenging all previous ancient constructions, is the Jiangdong bridge, of which only a part survives, but which should be restored, preserved, and declared human heritage monument. Keywords: Stone beam; granite strength, stone architrave, size effect. Introduction A limit of 7 m span for unsupported stone beams Stone beams for architraves, bridges and coverages were widely used by ancient civilizations but would only seldom reach spans of 7 m (Fig.1).

  • Deciphering Chinese Deterrence Signalling in the New Era an Analytic Framework and Seven Case Studies
    AUSTRALIA C O R P O R A T I O N NATHAN BEAUCHAMP-MUSTAFAGA, DEREK GROSSMAN, KRISTEN GUNNESS, MICHAEL S.

About RAND Australia RAND Australia’s mission is to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. RAND’s publications do not necessarily reflect the opinions of its research clients and sponsors.

For more information on this publication, visit www.rand.org/t/RRA1074-1 Preface The purpose of this report is to examine how China’s approach to deterrence signalling is evolving along with its expanding objectives, growing military capabilities, and the availability of new communication channels, such as Chinese- and English-language social media. As China’s pursuit of its goals becomes more assertive, one critically important question for analysts and policymakers in Australia, the United States, and other regional countries is how to interpret China’s changing approach to deterrence signalling. This report is intended to contribute to a better understanding of deterrence and countercoercion across domains in the Indo-Pacific region at a time of increased friction and strategic competition with China.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

  • China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia
    2014 February tototo May - China Backpacking - Family in Hongkong - Padi & Anh-Dao's Beach Wedding in Australia All reports and picture galleries (incl. Padi's and Evi's) can be accessed via www.xelliant.ch Background When we booked our flights on British Airways to Hongkong on 12 th January 2014 we had only one fixed target and date: Gobi's Wedding in Hongkong on 19 th of March. We booked for a period of 6 weeks within which everything else was still open. We could have visited Patrick and family in Perth or do a round trip to Philippines, Malaisia or elsewhere. Since Anh-Dao's mother had just visited them for several weeks and they themselves had plans to visit us in CH the coming summer, we chose finally to go once more backpacking in China. It was winter and so only the South would be a reasonable choice. Peggy had found out about the Hakka Tulou's in Fujian and we had never been in that region - so that was what we then did: a Tulou Walk for 1 week and a roundtrip further into Fujian. While we were in China, Patrick and Anh-Dao decided to get married on a lonely beach in the Australian wilderness at around Easter. We only learned these news when Patrick surprisingly turned up in Hongkong with the kids to attend Gobi's wedding. At that time I was still mentally exhausted from the China trip and so, at first, I could not face another big journey. A week after we had returned home to CH, Peggy felt very sad with the idea to miss out and so we booked almost instantly our flights to Perth...
