Labor Day isn’t the holiday it once was for China’s workers - CNN

Image
Editor’s Note: Sign up for  CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter ,  which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world. Hong Kong CNN  —  Like hundreds of millions of workers in China, Hao Zeyu, an algorithm engineer at an electric vehicle maker, is getting five days off this week for the Labor Day holiday. But he’s in no mood to party. In order to take the vacation, Hao is required to work an extra day on each weekend immediately before and after the break. To add insult to injury, two of the official vacation days fall on Saturday and Sunday. That means just one of those five days counts as a genuine holiday. The practice of moving workdays to weekends to create a longer vacation during major Chinese holidays is known as “tiaoxiu” or adjusted rest. Introduced in 1999 to stimulate consumer spending following the Asian financial crisis, it has been the subject of much online anger in the weeks leading up to this year’s May 1 holiday. “I re

Camp Holiday Trails receives $50,000 donation from Foxfield Races - 29 News

Image
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Camp Holiday Trails in Albemarle County is receiving a $50,000 donation from this past weekend’s 45th running of the Foxfield Races. This is the nonprofit’s third year working with Foxfield. The money will be used to help with the camp’s 50th anniversary campaign. It includes construction of a new medical facility for campers. “The truth is that it takes many hands. When we have an organization like Foxfield that really is thinking about collaboration in a really strategic way it just makes all the difference,” Camp Holiday Trails Executive Director Tina LaRoche said, “For us to go this alone would be really challenging but to do it with them and to do it with our partners makes our work that much easier.” Camp Holiday Trails says it is planning a big event for its 50th anniversary this fall. It hopes to break ground on the medical facility during the celebration. Do you have a story idea? Send us your news tip here . Copyright 2024 WVIR. All right

Image
Airlines in China have been forced to cut fares for this year’s Labor Day holiday after overestimating the recovery in demand for domestic flights, according to recent travel data.

HOLIDAY TEST DRIVE 2024: Hyundai Stargazer X Prime, Nyaman Hingga Bangku Baris Ketiga - Aftermarketplus.id

Image
Foto: aftermarketplus.id AFTERMARKETPLUS.id – Di ajang HTD (Holiday Test Drive) 2024 kali ini, kami memilih LSUV terbaru dari Hyundai, yakni Stargazer X Prime yang telah mengalami penyempurnaan dari model sebelumnya untuk menemani kami berlima menuju Magelang, Yogyakarta, Solo dan Semarang selama 7 hari. Ada beberapa pertimbangan mengapa kami memilih Stargazer X di HTD tahun ini, seperti kapasitas mobil ini yang bisa mengangkut 6 orang penumpang dengan baik, bangku baris kedua yang telah mengadopsi captain seat, kabin yang lega, bagasi yang cukup luas dan tentunya fitur keselamatan yang melimpah. Sebelum berangkat, penataan barang sangatlah penting ketika melakukan perjalanan jauh agar mendapatkan posisi duduk yang nyaman. Untuk itu karena kami berangkat dengan 5 penumpang, maka salah satu bangku baris ketiga kami lipat untuk mendapatkan kapasitas bagasi yang luas. Nah, keuntungan bangku baris kedua Stargazer X yang model captain seat yaitu tersedianya ruang di tengah, yang b

The pre-holiday rush started at the border Crossings - Sarajevo Times

Image
The pre-holiday rush started at the border crossings. The worst situation is currently at the Gradiška crossing. The Automobile Association of Republika Srpska appeals to drivers to avoid that crossing due to the kilometer-long queues both at the entrance and exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina. “Large crowds and longer delays have been recorded at all border crossings with Croatia, except currently in Kozarska Dubica and Novi Grad”, it was announced by the AMS, from where they say that delays at the border crossings with Serbia and Montenegro are currently no longer than 30 minutes. At the border crossing Karakaj near Zvornik, traffic is prohibited for vehicles over five tons of the maximum permissible weight, which are diverted to the new bridge “Bratoljub” in Bratunac and to the border crossing Rača, while buses can use the border crossing Šepak. The frequency of vehicles has been increased on all priority routes and border crossings, so drivers need to be patient due to occasional

Stressing the efforts they have made to enhance epidemic control measures at ports and strengthen vaccination services, according to a notice released on Saturday. The administration said that as the season moves from spring to summer in May, several mosquito-borne and intestinal infectious diseases are about to enter the peak season.

The literary romantic holiday that should replace Valentine's Day. - Literary Hub

Image
April 23, 2024, 9:54am I’ve never really liked Valentine’s Day. Some of that is probably down to being a shy nerdy kid who couldn’t get a date to the Snow Dance—but, at the risk of sounding even more like Charlie Brown, the holiday is just so horribly commercial. It doesn’t really feel, to me, like it’s celebrating romance so much as it’s celebrating Hallmark and chocolates and outdated gender roles. Shortly after I met my wife Dani, who also isn’t hugely fond of the pageantry around Valentine’s Day, I chanced upon the opening story in Helen Oyeyemi’s collection What is Not Yours is Not Your s. Titled “Books and Roses,” it’s a typically Oyeyemian story with layered and shifting narration—but a few lines hit me like a kiss: The lovers spent Christmas together, then parted – Lucy for Grenoble, and Safiye for Barcelona. They wrote to each other care of their cities’ central post offices, and at the beginning of April Safiye wrote of the romance of St Jordi’s Day. Lucy, it is the cu

AFTERMARKETPLUS.id – Setelah beberapa tahun absen di Holiday Test Drive, di libur lebaran tahun 2024 ini saya Kembali ikut test drive tahunan dari Aftermarketplus.id ini. Mobil yang akan saya gunakan tahun ini merupakan mobil SUV dari Hyundai, yaitu Hyundai Creta tipe Prime. Kami cukup antusias karena saya belum pernah mencoba mobil Hyundai generasi terakhir. Tentu seperti biasa, setiap libur lebaran saya tidak pernah mudik karena memang orang tua berada di Jakarta. Eksterior Saat melihat mobil ini pertama kalinya, memang bentuknya tidak semua orang suka. Usung konsep ‘Sensuous Sportiness’, Hyundai Creta punya garis desain yang mirip dengan produk anyar Hyundai lainnya. Bagian depannya yang menggunakan bahasa desain ‘Parametric Jewelry Grille’, dipadukan dengan penempatan lampu DRL LED ‘tersembunyi’ yang memberikan kesan atraktif ketika menyala di siang hari. Sementara lampu utama diletakkan di bagian bawah, di dalamnya tersusun lampu dekat dan lampu jauh berteknologi LED, serta
