The explosion in student data mining beyond the classroom poses great risk to the safety, privacy, and civil liberties of children and families. The potential for such data to undermine instruction and compromise the privacy of students and teachers is very real. But, understanding and addressing the data privacy issue can seem overwhelming.
CEA is organizing this informational forum to help parents, policymakers, and others increase their knowledge and awareness of the issues involving student privacy and the explosion of the data mining of educational records. Building knowledge . . . and awareness of student privacy practices and pitfalls will help parents, educators, and state and local policymakers better navigate decisions affecting educational records.
WHO is collecting teacher and student data?
HOW have other states acted to increase data protections?
WHAT can parents, legislators, educators, and local communities do?
This forum is open to all legislators and the public. To register and send questions to the guest speakers visithttp://www.regonline.com/studentdataminefield.

I have used WC for many years. Finally got a new Envoy to try to correct my out of calibration barometer. Got the new Envoy set up with WeatherLink on PC. Weatherlink successfully starts recording data. I move the Envoy to my Mac (OSX High Sierra). WC doesn't update with current weather.
Log keeps saying something like "can't downlaod data will retry in 30 seconds." I tried resetting station comms and when I select Vantage Pro 2 it shows the comms port as "/dev/cu.bluetooth-Incoming-Port" It won't let me select another port.
I did not change anything on the Mac, just swapped Envoys.
Since this is your first post on the WeatherCat forum let me first welcome you to the forum! . . . .
You will need to scroll down past all the Windows drivers to reach the Mac drivers.
Try updating that and see if that solves your problem.
I have an almost identical problem.
I migrated my WC files from a Macbook Air to a Mini. The Mini is connected to a Weather Envoy, which I configured using Weatherlink Mac.
But WeatherCat gives the same error the OP is getting.
I've checked to make sure the USB driver is correct for the OS X version on the Mini.
After two hours of troubleshooting, I'm running out of ideas.
If you download the latest driver, there are versions for MacOS 10.11 and later and a legacy version for MacOS 10.10 and 10.9. Whenever possible, try to use the latest driver that is available for the version of MacOS that you are running.
Let us know what you uncover.
Copyright (C) 2017-2018 Silicon Laboratories Inc.
Macintosh computers running MacOS X 10.11 or greater.
Something else that is well worth considering is Ferrite Cores. My Weather Envoy is in the same room as 4 computers, but I don't have any problems with the signal. I have had the cores described on the Wiki page since 2010 or so.
Let us know if relocating your Envoy helps.
No one is more pleased than I !
If you ever discover why 3.01 did not work on 10.11.6 using the latest SiLab driver (5.05) please let me know!
By the way, did you try V3.02?
No, it wasn't available when I start my quest. But after going over everything to make 3.01 work with an expert(Xair) for two days I was just relieved to have WeatherCat working no matter what version!
Where can I find 3.02 to download? It does not show in the download page, nor does WC 3.01 Update command show it.
It is a development build, still under construction. So if you are going to run it, make sure you have everything backed up, etc.


It sounds like a story out of a fairy tale: a princess meets a commoner, falls in love, and gets engaged. But that's where the fantasy comes to an end, at least for 25-year old Japanese Princess Mako. If this was a fairy tale her suitor would become a prince, but that doesn't happen in real life. Instead, Princess Mako has opted to walk away from her title — all in the name of true love.
The Imperial Household revealed to CNN that Princess Mako met Kei Komuro five years ago in college. Komuro and the princess hit it off, and now the law firm employee is engaged to be married to royalty. Unfortunately, the royal title will not join them in matrimony. In order to marry a commoner, Princess Mako must renounce her title as a princess. As the oldest grandchild of Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko, Mako has no choice but to give up her title if she wishes to marry her true love.
That's the sort of drama that can normally only be found in the movies (and we would totally see a film based on this epic love story). But believe it or not, there's a precedent for people walking away from royalty in the name of love and marriage. Several members of Mako's family have renounced their titles to marry commoners already.
But Komuro's not entirely a commoner — after all, he once starred in a tourism video for Japan as "Prince of the Sea." He may not have the title of a true prince, but he clearly has Princess Mako's heart. Now if that isn't a love story, we don't know what is.

(Nanowerk News) Durable paint, water purification, faster computers, tougher shoe soles, and lighter and cheaper televisions are all possibilities now that a Queensland University of Technology (QUT) scientist has discovered a way to disperse gold nanoparticles evenly through plastic.
Adrian Fuchs, from QUT's School of Physical and Chemical Sciences, said the technique he had developed was a model for dispersing metals in nanoparticle form throughout polymers or plastic materials.
"The properties of metals change when they are in nano form and so combining the unique property of nanoparticles with plastic leads to a whole new range of composite materials that could be used for novel catalysts, drug delivery, and coatings," Dr Fuchs said.
"Paint is essentially a plastic so when gold nanoparticles are added it makes colours more intense across the whole visible spectrum. The paint would also be more durable when exposed to a harsh environment."
Dr Fuchs said gold had good conductivity and became a useful catalyst when mixed with different metals.
"If you put gold nanoparticles with titanium dioxide using a plastic mould, you can make a very efficient catalyst to purify water; the titania absorbs the light and converts it into electricity which is then passed into the conductive gold," he said.
Dr Fuchs said his method for dispersing nanoparticles through plastic could also be applied to encapsulating drugs into plastic casings so that they could be ingested and used for cancer detection and destruction.


Although their music evoked the raw, gospel-tinged sound of the rural South, Doug Clifford, Stu Cook, and Tom and John Fogerty actually hailed from El Cerrito, California, a small town near Berkeley. Back in 1960, while in junior high school, the boys formed a band called Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets and spent much of their time practicing in the Fogertys' garage.
They first recorded in 1964 as the Golliwogs; Tom Fogerty worked as a packing clerk in San Francisco at Fantasy Records, a jazz label. Fantasy released 'Don't Tell Me No Lies', sung by Tom, in late 1964, but neither it nor the 1965 follow-up singles, 'Where You Been and You Can't Be True', were played on the radio outside of their local area. They were just another Bay area bar band until 'Brown-Eyed Girl' sold 10,000 copies in California and adjoining states. It looked likely that they would stay that way because both John Fogerty and Doug Clifford were drafted into the Army.
In 1967 John finished his stint in the army and the band picked up where they had left off, beginning by renaming themselves as Creedence Clearwater Revival. There are competing stories as to how it happened; it may have been the name of one of Tom Fogerty's friends or it could have come from a beer commercial. A cover of Dale Hawkins's 'Suzie Q' was their first single in 1968; a cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins's 'I Put a Spell On You' followed it. Both cover versions were on the band's first album, which reached No.52 on the Billboard chart.
In May 1968 they made their Avalon Ballroom debut on a bill with Taj Mahal; two months later they played the Fillmore West with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. With 'Suzie Q' on the Billboard chart they played the Fillmore West three more times on bills with Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull.
With the release of their second album, Bayou Country, it became evident that Creedence had an uncanny knack for writing hits. Their astounding string of successes continued with "Born on the Bayou," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Lodi."
CCR were one of the few bands at Woodstock to have had significant success on the Billboard charts, yet many people today probably don't even know that they actually appeared on the bill, because they did not feature in the movie or on the album. Their hour-long set was like a greatest hits album, with 'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Proud Mary' both having reached No.2 on the Billboard charts. As they walked on stage just after midnight on the Saturday their current record, 'Green River' was at No.15, it's third week on the American chart; it would be their third single to stall at No.2.
By 1970, CCR had undeniably become the number one American rock and roll attraction. The man responsible for their exalted position was John Fogerty. In addition to writing the band's material and producing their records, there was his soulful voice – he's the archetypical 'rock vocalist'. Put him into almost any great rock band of the 60s and 70s and he would have at least held his own as their lead singer and more often as not improved upon what they did.
The same genius responsible for Creedence's tremendous popularity, however, also contributed to their eventual demise. Tensions arose among the other group members as they vied for greater say in band decisions, which had, till then, been made exclusively by John. An agreement for more democratic decision-making was reached, but came too late for Tom Fogerty, who left the band in 1971 to pursue a solo career.
The remaining members went on to record Mardi Gras, and a double album, Live in Europe. The latter, which contained the Top Ten single "Sweet Hitch-Hiker," was the last album they recorded before the band officially disbanded in October 1972. John Fogerty pursued a solo career, although he refused to perform any CCR hits until 1987 when both Dylan and George Harrison told him everyone would think, "Proud Mary' is Tina Turner's song" unless he did them. 'Rockin' All Over The World' which Status Quo recorded in 1977 and took to No.3 in the UK charts, turning into their own 'anthem', came from John Fogerty's second solo album.
Creedence had an astonishing track record: eight consecutive gold singles ('Proud Mary,' 'Bad Moon Rising,' 'Green River,' 'Down on the Corner,' 'Who'll Stop the Rain,' 'Up Around the Bend,' 'Lookin' Out My Back Door,' 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?') and seven consecutive gold albums (Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bayou Country, Green River, Willy and the Poor Boys, Cosmo's Factory, Pendulum, and Mardi Gras. There have been more than 100 cover versions of "Proud Mary," one of CCR's most enduring tunes.
Creedence Clearwater Revival is the debut album by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in 1968.
Green River is the third studio album by American rock and roll band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released in August 1969 after their second release Bayou Country which was released in January of the same year (see 1969 in music). In 2003, the album was ranked number 95 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It features two of the band's best-known songs, "Bad Moon Rising" and the title track.
Willy and the Poor Boys is the fourth studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, released by Fantasy Records in November 1969, and was the last of three studio albums that the band released in that year (see 1969 in music). The album was remastered and reissued on 180 Gram Vinyl by Analogue Productions in 2006.
The album features the songs "Down on the Corner", from which the album got its name, and "Fortunate Son," which is a well known protest song.
In 2003, the album was ranked number 464 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Cosmo's Factory is the fifth studio album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), released by Fantasy Records in July 1970 and released as Fantasy 8402, the same month as the single release of "Lookin' out My Back Door" b/w "Long As I Can See the Light".
The name of the album comes from the warehouse in Berkeley where the band rehearsed early in their career. It was dubbed "The Factory" by drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford, due to the fact that bandleader John Fogerty made them practice there almost every day.
Early pressings of the album contain a three-second dropout on the left stereo channel during "Before You Accuse Me" and an earlier mix of "Travelin' Band" with John Fogerty's first solo mixed behind the horn section. This mix was restored on the 40th anniversary reissue. The album is regarded as the band's best in their catalogue by critics and fans, including being ranked #265 on Rolling Stone's list "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
Pendulum is the sixth album by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), released by Fantasy Records on December 15, 1970 — their second album release of that year (see 1970 in music). A single from the album, "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"/"Hey Tonight", was released in January 1971.
Mardi Gras is the seventh and final studio album by American band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), released in 1972. The group disbanded after this album was released.

Colombia 2, United States 0 - Three Thoughts As USMNT Drop Copa America Opener
A rough day in California to start Copa America 2016 has the USMNT back to the drawing board as Colombia takes an early perch atop Group A.
By Jake Catanese@JCatanese43 Jun 4, 2016, 12:17am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Colombia 2, United States 0 - Three Thoughts As USMNT Drop Copa America Opener
That was not a good performance from the United States. In fact, had it not been a largely mediocre game from Colombia as well, the final score could have been a lot worse.
Cristian Zapata volleyed home the opening goal in the first ten minutes and James Rodriguez added a penalty right before halftime to give the favored Cafeteros a 2-0 win over the Americans to start Group A play in the Copa America Centenario.
The scoreline both accurately reflected the game and perhaps was unflattering to both sides. The USA in particular only threatened goal once, a Clint Dempsey free kick in the second half forcing a good save, while Colombia should've pressured for more goals and nearly had a third when Carlos Bacca rattle a shot of the bar late in the second half. Certainly on a better day, Colombia could've run away with this game and turned it into a rout.
What the loss means for the Americans is in the short term then now need at a minimum two results from their remaining games against Costa Rica and Paraguay. The other two teams in Group A play tomorrow, but anything less than four points from those games would likely eliminate the US from the competition. Colombia was the group favorite and a loss is not a complete failure because there were a few things the USA did well tonight. Sadly, they didn't do enough good things to overcome two mistakes in the first half.
1. The Set Piece Battle
The US under the best of circumstances can't be losing this battle, let alone losing it 2-0 in the first half and starting off by allowing a goal inside of the first ten minutes. Give Colombia credit on the first goal, that's a neat little pick play that no referee in the world is going to call back that beats Geoff Cameron and leaves Zapata alone to score. The second play, a penalty conceded by DeAndre Yedlin, was simply a mistake for Los Cafeteros to capitalize on.

There's no doubt in my mind, this is a penalty, because nothing good ever comes from having your arms anywhere near shoulder height in a soccer game. Yedlin's arm isn't in a natural position and he's trying to turn away from the ball and commits the infraction. There's a reason you see defenders stick their arms behind their backs and while conceding penalties is usually bad, this particular one sealed the USA's fate.
It's not Yedlin's fault, or the defense as a whole, which played fairly well to limit Colombia from doing more damage. But while set pieces put the US behind the 8-ball defensively, aside from one David Ospina save on Clint Dempsey in the second half, the Americans squandered their chances on set pieces and rarely threatened the Colombia net.
2. Klinsmann Deploys His Attack, Badly
What a 4-0 rout against Bolivia masked was the fact that Gyasi Zardes isn't that great of a winger and Clint Dempsey absolutely is not a target #9 forward. However, Klinsmann opted to set up the US attacking line in the same fashion and this time against a top opponent in a competitive setting, he got burned.
Copa America 2016: Group A Primer
Miss out on our primer or want to check out info for tomorrow's Costa Rica-Paraguay game? Don't worry, all the team info and TV schedules for all of Group A are right here.
The US was dismal in the first half against Ecuador with a similar set up, Zardes on the left and Dempsey in the middle. It wasn't until Darlington Nagbe and Bobby Wood entered at halftime of the friendly that the US attack finally gained some traction. I do think these three players can work effectively but only if Wood is operating in the middle where Dempsey is a tactical hindrance.
Today, the US was losing and by the time Jurgen started to bring on subs it was probably too late. 25-minute shifts for Nagbe and Christian Pulisic just wasn't going to be enough time for the USA to dig themselves out of the hole they dug in the first half. Even if Klinsmann used a sub or even two at halftime, it was always going to be a long road back. Now the US head coach has to figure out a better gameplan in what has to be considered a must-win against Costa Rica.
3. If that's Colombia not at their best...
Then I fear what the Cafeteros can actually do when they're playing well. And it's not that they played badly here, this was a disjointed effort from both teams for the most part played in hot and humid conditions but it felt like Colombia got their lead and just played out the rest of the game.
Expected goals...
- Colombia: 0.78 (+ the PK)
- #USMNT: 0.72 https://t.co/kLDDhAw0u8
— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) June 4, 2016
That's not exactly a barnstorming display from Colombia there. I'm a big fan of expected goals as far as reinforcing the "eye test" and quite frankly that was a pretty tepid display from both teams.
What Colombia did have, unlike the USA and this is so often the case with Klinsmann's squad, is possession with a purpose. When Colombia did have the ball, they did something with it, generating 13 shots and putting 7 on target. The US meanwhile took 12 shots, had four blocked and only put two on target. Meaning that if both of said shots went in, the best the US could've done was a tie.
There were a lot of very solid yet quiet performances for Colombia as well, with midfielders Juan Cuadrado and Edwin Cardona making their presence felt in various ways but not necessarily on the scoresheet. It was Cardona's corner that Zapata nodded home, but Edwin also put three shots on target, more than the entire US team combined.
In essence, Colombia out USA'd the USA today, capitalizing on mistakes and set piece opportunities while playing sound defense and limiting their opponents to few quality chances.

The word networking is one that brings out different reactions in people. Some hate it. Some fear it. Some understand its importance. Many don't know how to do it. Most think it's only for business people.
I recently finished reading a great book on networking called The 29% Solution, 52 Weekly Networking Success Strategies, written by Ivan R. Misner, PhD and Michelle R. Donovan. Although the book is primarily geared for business people, there are still some great concepts and strategies that all of us can use in connecting with people.
When you help someone meet a goal, you instantly become a "value-added" friend - an asset to this individual's life and business. You've demonstrated that you're in the relationship not just what you can get out of it, but also for what you can invest on behalf of your friend. You've demonstrated reciprocity and caring. You've nourished the relationship's roots so they can become strong, deep, and broad (p. 96).
Start by giving. Let your mantra be not "What's in it for me? but "What can I do for you?" This is perhaps the most powerful technique for deepening and widening your networks, as well as for adding value. When building a deep network, do everything you can to bring business and contacts to your networking partners. Share information with them, and invite them to business meetings that will position them favorably with people they need to know. Get to the point where your networking partners know you always have something to give them. In short, do what it takes to earn the help you may need to ask for down the road. It's no wonder that the most effective and powerful networking entrepreneurs live by the philosophy "Givers Gain": when you help others achieve their goals, they will help you achieve your goals. Do not underestimate the power of helping other people - it is the cornerstone upon which relationships are built (p. 98).
As believers in Jesus Christ, it would seem that we should live with this same philosophy of giving of ourselves to others, and not just for business reasons. When we give of ourselves to our fellow believers in Christ, to our friends, to complete strangers, we are imitating our Lord.
For God so loved, that He gave... (John 3:16).
My challenge for you today is to be available to help those around you. Make personal connections with people and help build relationships between friends in your own network. Gain through giving.
Thanks! I needed this today. I have recently joined a BNI group in my area to grow my business, www.wrenphoto.biz and have been reading Ivan Misner's books. Something in this concept, "Givers Gain" struck a cord with me and I have been looking for a way to apply it in my church. Yours was the first article I found on the subject. I would be grateful if you have more resources for this.

Our school-students and staff-participate in our local East Grays Harbor Relay For Life held the 1st weekend after Memorial Day at the Grays Harbor Fairgrounds. Our relay is a 24 hour chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out and take turns walking a track. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events.
Our school also has a mini relay which is modeled after the 24 hour event. We have a survivor lap, a luminaria ceremony and fundraising.

The StoredRange class defines a contiguous, divisible set of objects.
This class is used primarily as the argument to function objects. The range can then be subdivided into a number of "tasks" which can be executed in parallel. This concept is central to the Threading Building Blocks template library which can optionally be used by libMesh to implement shared-memory parallelism.
The implementation takes a user-provided object range and packs it into a contiguous vector which can then be subdivided efficiently. A first-cut implementation using raw element iterators incurred simply too much overhead by using the predicated iterators, specifically operations such as advancing such iterators has a cost proportional to the amount the iterator is advanced. Hence in this implementation the user-provided range is packed into a vector.

The StoredRange can be copied into subranges for parallel execution. In this way the initial StoredRange can be thought of as the root of a binary tree. The root element is the only element which interacts with the user. It takes a specified range of objects and packs it into a contiguous vector which can be split efficiently. However, there is no need for the child ranges to contain this vector, so long as the parent outlives the children. So we implement the copy constructor to specifically omit the _objs vector.

This is 2014. We have tools to assist the designer (the processor design engineer per se) to speedup his/her development. Still, the processor must be designed explicitly. What would go beyond the state-of-the-art is not to have to design the golden model of the processor at all.
What I am proposing is an application-specific processor synthesis tool that goes beyond the state-of-the-art. A model generator for producing the high-level description of the processor, based only on application analysis and user-defined constraints. And for the fun of it, let's codename it METATOR, because I tend to watch too much Supernatural these days, and METATOR (messenger) is a possible meaning for METATRON, an angelic being from the Apocrypha with a human past. So think of METATOR as an upgrade (spiritual or not) to the current status of both academic and commercial ASIP design tools.
The key differentiation point of METATOR against existing approaches is that ASIP synthesis should not require the explicit definition of a processor model by a human developer. The solution implies the development of a novel scheme for the extraction of a common denominator architectural model from a given set of user applications (accounting for high-level constraints and requirements) that are intended to be executed on the generated processor by the means of graph similarity extraction. From this automatically generated model, an RTL description, verification IP and a programming toolchain would be produced as part of an automated targeting process, in like "meta-": a generated model generating models!.
METATOR would rely upon HercuLeS high-level synthesis technology and the YARDstick profiling and custom instruction generation environment. In the past, YARDstick had been used for generating custom instructions (CIs) for ByoRISC (Build Your Own RISC) soft-core processors. ByoRISC is a configurable in-order RISC design, allowing the execution of multiple-input, multiple-output custom instructions and achieving higher performance than typical VLIW architectures. CIs for ByoRISC where generated by YARDstick, which purpose is to perform application analysis on targeted codes, identify application hotspots, extract custom instructions and evaluate their potential impact on code performance for ByoRISC.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey's central bank said on Wednesday its Monetary Policy Committee met to discuss recent developments.
The country's lira had tumbled 5 percent against the dollar on Wednesday, accelerating a selloff that has seen the currency lose a fifth of its value this year as investors fret over President Tayyip Erdogan's influence on monetary policy.
The central bank's announcement boosted the lira. It rose to as high as 4.704 from 4.845 beforehand.

Tencent revealed during it's investment announcement that games and ad sales are areas Snap Inc could explore
Could gaming help a struggling Snapchat?
MCV Staff 13th November 2017 Mobile
Social media app Snapchat could soon feature video games according to Chinese social media and gaming company Tencent.
Last week, it was announced that Tencent had bought over 145 million shares in Snap. Inc on the open market and not part of the company's initial IPO in March. The company previously invested in Snapchat in 2013 but details were undisclosed. However, Snap Inc has struggled to make money following the move and has fallen to $12.35 a share from its initial $17 a share.
So how can Tencent help? Well, according to Reuters, Snapchat could venture out into gaming. Tencent has suggested that its expertise in the video games market and ad sales could help Snap Inc to become more profitable.
Tencenpublishessh many games themselves, such as Honour of Kings, but it also owns League of Legends developer Riot Games. The game is arguably one of the most popular games in the world and in competitive esports. While Tencent's investment doesn't give them a seat on the board or any kind of power, both sides have indicated that a working relationship is on the cards.
Snapchat said in a filing statement that "ideas and experiences" were to be shared between the companies, adding "We have long been inspired by the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Tencent and we are grateful to continue our longstanding and productive relationship that began over four years ago."
"The investment enables Tencent to explore cooperation opportunities with the company on mobile games publishing and newsfeed as well as to share its financial returns from the growth of its businesses and monetisation in the future," Tencent told Reuters in an email.
So we could see games taking a much more prominent role on the platform in the near future. Gaming sites do already produce content for Snapchat, such as IGN, and gaming events do get coverage including esports tournaments and game launches with special filters. It'll be interesting to see what this new formal business relationship brings to the platform.

Q: 1D convolution for CNN In Keras there is a special function for 1D convolution for CNN:
keras.layers.Conv1D(filters, kernel_size, strides=1, padding='valid', data_format='channels_last', dilation_rate=1, activation=None, use_bias=True, kernel_initializer='glorot_uniform', bias_initializer='zeros', kernel_regularizer=None, bias_regularizer=None, activity_regularizer=None, kernel_constraint=None, bias_constraint=None)

Is there a way to do the same in MATLAB?

A: If your MATLAB version is R2016a or newer, you should be able to use the 2d-conv layer (convolution2dLayer) with a 1x1 FilterSize to get a "1d-conv behavior".
You will need to specify the activation function as a separate layer.

Netizens debate Russia-Ukraine conflict, ByteDance employee dies after overtime work, Covid-19 outbreak connected to Wuhan, Beijing to fund fertility treatments—it's Viral Week
Viral Week is our weekly round-up of the weekend's trending memes, humor, rumor, gossip, and everything else Chinese netizens are talking about.
Sorry, your browser doesn't support playback for this video
Netizens react to Ukraine conflict
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine exploded on Chinese social media, with related hashtags gaining millions of views in hours on Weibo. Netizens following the conflict even coined the new phrase 乌心工作 (wū xīn gōngzuò, "working while thinking about Ukraine," a play on a similar-sounding term meaning "can't focus on work"), for people who've shirked their office duties by reading articles on and expressing for the country. Some have expressed sympathy for the people of Ukraine, while footage of a student studying in Kyiv cheering up Ukrainian children in a bomb shelter went viral.
Meanwhile, Weibo announced it had removed 542 sexist posts which expressed hope for a protracted war which would send "beautiful" Ukrainian female refugees fleeing to China. One Chinese national in Ukraine posted a video saying Chinese students were afraid to take shelter in the Kyiv subway system as they are being confronted by Ukrainians over negative comments made about the country on Chinese social media. The Chinese embassy in Ukraine initially instructed Chinese nationals in the country to place a Chinese flag in their vehicles to protect themselves, but the next day reversed its advice and told people not to reveal their nationality.
ByteDance employee dies suddenly, suspected of overworking
A 28-year-old ByteDance employee, surnamed Wu, died suddenly while working out at his office gym last Tuesday, drawing public concern that he had died from overwork. A WeChat post allegedly from Wu's wife claimed he often worked overtime as a "content moderator" (cleaning up and censoring content on ByteDance's platforms), and that the company lost valuable time calling in emergency services to help Wu. She also wrote that she is 14 weeks pregnant, and unable to afford a mortgage of over 20,000 yuan per month in Beijing now that her husband is deceased. ByteDance, a technology company and owner of TikTok, said the company had covered the medical costs of attempts to resuscitate Wu, and would provide his family with Wu's pension, though it failed address Wu's wife's claims of overwork.
Haidilao database for categorizing customers sparks debate
Hotpot chain Haidilao has sparked controversy after a woman claimed that their restaurants keep detailed files on customers' dining habits and even their physical appearance. The woman uploaded a series of photos to social media platform Xiaohongshu, which she claimed show the chain's filing system for customers. Many commenters argued the database was an invasion of privacy, while others said there is nothing wrong with collecting customer profiles as long as the information is kept secure. A representative of Haidilao said that restaurant managers created customer profiles in order to provide them with better service. The spokesman also claimed that notes on customers' physical appearance are now prohibited.
Beijing adds fertility treatments to insurance scheme
Beijing will become the first city in China to add fertility treatments to its public health insurance scheme. The cost of 16 types of assisted reproductive technology (ART), including in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination, will be partially covered at major public hospitals as of March 26. While China has relaxed its family planning policies and now encourages couples to give birth to three children, fertility rates remain below the government's expectations, and infertility is on the rise, according to research by the Peking University No. 3 Hospital. The cost of the procedures and strict ART licensing regulations on hospitals prevent many couples from seeking fertility treatment in China.
