  • (10/24) Germany Aims to Increase Educational Choices for Its Youth
      AUDIO Germany Aims to Increase Educational Choices for Its Youth       Many European countries have programs that help place students in careers at a young age.   In Germany, some students move into education programs at the age of 10. The goal is to prepare them for a lifelong job. They continue their education but also take classes that will help them learn about their job. By the age of 16, those students are placed into work experience programs called apprenticeships.   The system helps keep unemployment among young people low. Groups in the U.S. have expressed interest in the system. They are concerned that the American university system does not prepare young people to enter the workforce.   Some activists and writers such as Ryan Craig say, “many of the best jobs (the U.S.) has to offer don’t require a college education.” But in Germany, young people are starting to push back against the vocational track system that has been in place in one form or another for hundreds of years.   Career training   In the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, students like Neriman Raim are learning more about jobs before getting on a career track.   Raim is 16 years old. She now believes she wants to work with children. But at first, she thought she wanted to work in an office. She did an internship two years ago at an architecture office, but she found that she did not enjoy the work. Then, she was placed at a school and worked with children in kindergarten. She discovered that she did not like working with young children. “I could see what a day is like with kids,” she said.   The next school year, she spent three weeks working with older children, helping them finish assignments after school. She felt good about that experience. When she finishes school later this year, she will move into a one-year program that will help her decide if teaching will be the right job for her.       The program is called “no graduation without connection.” Students like Raim get help with resumes and job applications. They receive direction starting in ninth grade. By 10th grade, they can get work experience one day per week for the whole school year.   Sonja Gryzik is a teacher at Raim’s school, which is called Ursula Kuhr. “You don’t learn about a job in school,” she said. “You have to experience it.”   A history of vocational training   While the German system keeps youth unemployment low, critics have said for years that it does not work well for low-income students and immigrants. They say students from those families are pushed into vocational studies and not helped to move on to higher education. In addition, some say that recent immigrants are not told how to get into the training programs.   Another criticism of vocational training is that during the COVID-19 pandemic, most of those classes shut down. At the same time, university classes continued by video and students did not lose too much.         Studies in Germany show that problems with vocational training have led more students to university educations. However, up to 28 percent of students do not finish their studies. The number is up to 50 percent for students in humanities and sciences.   Education reform   People involved in education policy in Germany are concerned about the high failure rate. So, they are aiming to reform the vocational training system. Raim’s program is one of the new ones, where students have more choices when deciding on a career, and more chances for exploration before entering a career studies program.   Bernhard Meyer is a teacher at Raim’s school who manages the new program for 11 towns in northwestern Germany. “We have every type of possibility,” he said, noting that students have more choices than just “apprenticeship or university.”   Students in Raim’s program can complete their general education and also start a career they feel good about. It is unusual for students in higher-level academic high schools called gymnasiums to bypass university studies, but it does happen.           Tim Becker, 20, is one of those students. He took a university entrance exam at his high school in Cologne. But instead of starting his studies, he is doing an information technology apprenticeship. Becker said his parents were “uneasy” about his choice. They expected him to go on to higher education. But in school, he said he liked hands-on work more than academic theory.   “I am just not that guy that likes to sit all day in any lectures at some university,” Becker said. He added that some of his old classmates left their universities to start internships.   The students at Ursula Kuhr and their parents attend meetings several times per year. As they learn more, parents feel better about the career choices of their children. Mile Glisic is 15. He is working at a hardware store and considering an apprenticeship in sales. He said his parents had questions about his career ideas, “but I know that they were very happy with it.”   Raim’s mother said she loved the idea that her daughter would teach in a grade school. And Raim said the teachers help their students gain confidence. “They don’t want anyone to finish school and have nothing.”   Other European countries are struggling with the same questions. Camilla Hutters is head of the National Center for Vocational Education, a research organization in Denmark. She said the country has a shortage of workers in fields that offer vocational training to young people.   That only became a problem starting after the 1990s. That is when Denmark scored poorly on an international education ranking list and more students started thinking about college. But now, Danish students as young as six are being shown different jobs so they can start thinking about a career path.         Hutters said programs are starting to make practical learning part of school in the early grades and continuing it through college. Danish leaders are asking universities to work with businesses.   College degrees are still the goal for many Danish students and their parents, “so there is a little bit of mixed tendency…in Denmark,” Hutters said.   More young people in Denmark might take the path of Becker in Germany. He earns over $1,300 per month during his information technology internship and will be ready for a job as soon as September.   Becker said it is nice to be able to get paid to learn, unlike some of his friends who are at a university. He said, “You don’t need to sit all day in university and go to work in the evening to pay your bills.”                                 ____________________________________________________   Words in This Story career –n. the path that a person takes of the course of their work life or their profession apprenticeship –n. a period when a trainee works with an established tradesperson to get experience in a trade track –n. a path often related to jobs in which a person follows that narrowly prepares them for the work ahead internship –n. a training period at an established organization in which a young person works for little or no money in exchange for job experience resume –n. a short document that outlines the work experience of a person applying for a job confidence –n. the feeling that you can do something the right way practical –adj. something that is related to real-life problems and is not theoretical or political tendency –n. the likely direction of thought or movement                                   https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/germany-aims-to-increase-educational-choices-for-its-youth/7546334.html

  • (10/23) Study: Millions of Europeans Could Die from Heat by 2100
      AUDIO Study: Millions of Europeans Could Die from Heat by 2100       A new study warns that millions of Europeans could die from heat-related causes by the end of the century.   The study was based on computer simulations of predicted climate activity in 854 different European cities. It found that extreme temperatures, mostly heat, could kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe by 2100.   The researchers said the number of predicted deaths could be reduced if nations are able to find better ways of cutting carbon pollution levels and dealing with extreme heat.   Currently, cold weather kills far more people in Europe than hot weather. But the study found that as temperatures continue to rise, deaths from cold weather will lessen over time. However, heat-related deaths are predicted to rise sharply.   Scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine led the research. The results appeared recently in a study in the publication Nature Medicine.   The researchers urged increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and expand indoor air-cooling systems and cooling centers in parts of Europe. Without such efforts, places in Italy, southern Spain and Greece are likely to see large increases in heat deaths related to climate change, the study found.   On the other hand, much of Scandinavia and Britain are predicted to see fewer temperature-related deaths, largely because low temperatures are expected to become more moderate.   Pierre Masselot studies the environmental effects of human health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He helped lead the research.   Masselot told the Associated Press that ｄrops in cold deaths in northern parts of Europe are happening in areas not as populated as places further south. “The Mediterranean is a so-called climate hotspot," he said. "It's a region that is warming much quicker than the rest of the world. And Malta is right in the middle of it.”   The study predicts Malta’s temperature-related deaths will increase by 269 people for every 100,000 individuals by the end of the century. On the other hand, Ireland’s rate is expected to ｄrop slightly to 15 per 100,000 people.   European officials reported several heat waves have killed thousands of people in recent years across the continent. The highest number was in 2003, when about 70,000 deaths were recorded.   Among the areas predicted to see the most deaths from future temperature rises is Barcelona, Spain. The study found almost 250,000 people could die from temperature-related causes in that city by 2100. And the study warned that Rome and Naples could have up to 150,000 deaths.   The study predicted that more than 5.8 million extra heat deaths would be linked to climate change. At the same time, the study found cold-related deaths would ｄrop by 3.5 million.                         _____________________________________________ Words in This Story simulate – v. do or make something that behaves or looks like something real but is not region – n. a particular area in a country or the world                                 https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/study-millions-of-europeans-could-die-from-heat-by-2100/7957412.html

  • (10/22) Five Tips to Get Better Sleep
      AUDIO Five Tips to Get Better Sleep     Do you spend too many nights trying to fall asleep? You are not alone.   Nearly one-third of American adults say they do not get the suggested seven to nine hours of sleep a night.   Some of the major causes are stress, anxiety, and a culture that experts say is about productivity, not rest.   Molly Atwood of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine said, “You need to understand what your body needs and try your hardest to prioritize that and not just see sleep as kind of what’s left over of the day.”   Sleep experts say that you should avoid unproven methods to fall asleep and stay asleep. Instead, they suggest five simple ideas:   Create a buffer zone   First, try creating a “buffer zone” - a time of separation - between the end of your work day and your bedtime. Experts suggest leaving your work and daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bed.   While in this “buffer zone,” you should not check email, pay bills, do housework, or look on social media. Instead, try to relax with a book, enjoy a fun activity or spend time with loved ones.   Dr. Annise Wilson of Baylor University said, “Anything that helps to center you and just helps you focus and release a lot of that tension from the day will then help promote sleep.”   Watch what you eat   Eating a large meal right before bedtime can also hurt your sleep. So, try to eat in the early evening hours.   Atwood said that eating a large meal is “like giving your body a really large job to do right before sleep at a time when things are supposed to be shutting down."   But do not go to bed very hungry, either. Try small amounts of food with protein or healthy fats, like cheese, almonds or peanut butter on whole grain bread.   Avoid caffeine and alcohol   Having an alcoholic drink or espresso after dinner could lead to a long night.   While alcohol can help you fall asleep at first, it can also hurt your sleep cycle. As a result, the quality of sleep declines. The chances that you will wake up more often in the middle of the night increase.   Caffeine blocks adenosine, a chemical that helps make you feel sleepy. And it can take your body up to 10 hours to clear caffeine.   For these reasons, experts suggest finishing up your caffeinated or alcoholic drinks many hours before bed.   Limit technology   Light from phones and computer screens can interfere with the circadian rhythm – or the internal clock that naturally wakes us up. Light has this effect by suppressing melatonin, which assists with sleep.   But you will need self-control to stop looking at screens, suggested Dr. Dianne Augelli of Weill Cornell Medicine.   “TikTok doesn’t want you to stop,” Augelli said. “Only you can stop you, so you have to learn to put that stuff away.”   See your doctor   If you are still having a hard time getting a good night’s sleep after more than one month of trying, experts say it is time to go to a doctor.   This is especially true if your sleepless nights are hurting your work performance or your mood.   Atwood said, “It doesn’t matter how much relaxation you do. At a certain point, it’s not going to be effective if there’s a significant amount of stress... It might involve some problem-solving to figure that out.”                               ________________________________________________ Words in This Story stress—n. something that causes bodily or mental tension (worries, concerns, etc.) anxiety – n. a state of being uneasy or very worried prioritize – v. to list in order of importance or priority relax – v. to relieve from nervous tension focus – v. to concentrate attention on something cycle  n. a series of events or operations that happen regularly significant – adj. having importance                           https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/five-tips-to-get-better-sleep/7585004.html

  • [10/24] 公务员招录年龄放宽，释放了什么信号？
    　 　　中新网北京10月14日电(记者 李京统 袁秀月)10月14日，国家公务员局发布《中央机关及其直属机构2026年度考试录用公务员公告》。其中，招考年龄的放宽引发关注。   　　公告显示，报考者年龄要求一般为18周岁以上、38周岁以下(1986年10月至2007年10月期间出生)，对于2026年应届硕士、博士研究生，放宽到43周岁以下(1981年10月以后出生)。   资料图：2024年12月1日，中央机关及其直属机构2025年度考试录用公务员公共科目笔试举行。中新社记者 易海菲 摄   　　相较往年，国考年龄要求从一般要求为35周岁放宽至38周岁，应届硕士、博士研究生从40周岁放宽至43周岁。   　　国家公务员局网站发文总结了本次考试录用公务员工作的4个主要特点。其中提到：“按照实施渐进式延迟法定退休年龄有关政策要求，对公务员招录年龄条件作了适当放宽调整”。   　　事实上，不仅是国考，今年以来多地公务员招录和事业单位招聘已经放宽了年龄要求，打破了以往的“35岁门槛”。   　　如，2025年江苏省省级机关公开遴选公务员公告明确，遴选年龄要求为38周岁以下(1986年8月以后出生)。四川眉山和遂宁等地在2025年下半年事业单位招聘中，也将招聘年龄限制放宽至本科38周岁及以下，研究生43周岁及以下。     资料图：2024年12月1日，2025年度国考公共科目笔试举行，图为首都师范大学附属丽泽中学初中部考点外。中新社记者 易海菲 摄   　　中共中央党校(国家行政学院)教授竹立家表示，“35岁左右的年龄已具备一定的工作经验和技术能力，正是许多人才在职场上的‘黄金期’，吸纳这部分人进入公务员队伍，有助于提升政府部门的公共服务质量。”   　　“此政策为高学历人才提供更多报考机会，使具备丰富社会经验与专业知识的人才能够加入公务员队伍，为公务员队伍注入更多元的社会阅历与专业视角。”华图教育研究院专家李曼卿也表示。   　　竹立家表示，国考招录报名年龄的放宽，对于工作以后选择学历深造的人也是一个利好政策。“现实中，很多人在工作几年之后会选择重新回到学校，继续攻读硕士、博士学位，这些人才既具有学识，又有一定的工作经验，此次年龄的放宽对于解决这些人的就业也具有积极意义。”   　　评论认为，国考招录打破“35岁门槛”，契合了我国人口年龄结构变化的现实背景。随着我国人口老龄化进程加快，35岁以上的人群正成为社会主力军，再加上如今人们受教育程度逐渐提高，就业年龄推后，35岁的年龄标准逐渐无法适应社会新变化。国考招录率先放宽年龄，向外界尤其是中青年群体释放了更加积极的信号，也将为人才流动拓宽渠道，为公务员队伍注入新活力。     https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gn/2025/10-14/10498057.shtml

  • [10/23] 库布其巨变：“死亡之海”崛起“蓝色绿洲”
      ※ mp3 파일 참고 :   "LINK"  링크 클릭해주시면  mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :)     广网北京10月4日消息 据中央广播电视总台中国之声报道，2025年是“十四五”的收官之年，也是“十五五”的谋局之年。全国各行各业的工作者们立足岗位，真抓实干，用奋楫争先的精神决胜收官之战，用优异的成绩向祖国报告。中国之声推出国庆特别策划《向祖国报告》，我们聚焦重大工程火热的建设现场，一起感受中国经济社会发展的非凡成就。   作为新时代“三北”工程三大标志性战役之一，黄河“几字弯”攻坚战所涉片区既是阻挡北方、西北风沙南侵的前沿区，又是构建黄河流域生态安全屏障的关键区。20世纪80年代，区域内61%以上的面积是流动沙丘，植被覆盖率不到3%。经过几代治沙人的坚守和付出，库布其沙漠治理面积达6000多平方公里。库布其模式有哪些特点？为何会被称为“东北亚地区最佳模式之一”？   一望无际的光伏板，沙漠的“卫士”（图片由中广核提供）       鄂尔多斯市达拉特旗能源局能源综合保障中心主任李凯手指着一块块光伏板向记者介绍当地光伏治沙的最新进展。   “目前全旗已建成光伏项目总装机规模523万千瓦，有效治理沙漠面积25.84万亩，到2030年底，光伏装机规模将达到1900万千瓦，综合治理沙漠面积55万亩，用‘一块板’实现‘光伏治沙、沙漠增绿、产业升级、富农增收’。”李凯说。   在鄂尔多斯市达拉特旗昭君镇的“沙戈荒”中北部新能源大基地，蓝色的光伏板如海洋般铺展，构成了一道阻沙固土的“光伏长城”。这里是库布其沙漠光伏治沙模式的核心区域之一，也是中国“三北”工程黄河“几字弯”攻坚战的重要战场。   李凯介绍，基地规划建设新能源1200万千瓦，通过蒙西至京津冀输电通道外送。截至目前，先导工程一期、二期项目200万千瓦光伏全部建成并网。   整齐排列的草方格，沙漠的“护身圈”（图片由中广核提供）   工程采用“板上发电、板下种植、板间养殖”的立体化发展模式，有效治理沙化土地6万亩，带动周边1万多名农民就业增收，新能源年产值突破50亿元。这种“板上发电、板下种植、板间养殖”的立体化治沙模式就是库布其治沙模式的精髓所在。   中广核在库布其沙漠有6座光伏治沙电站，其中的朔方、卓越、锦帆光伏电站站长贾海清介绍：“我们的项目并非依赖于单一的技术，而在于构建一个可持续的良性生态系统，核心思路是破解生态治理难题。通过‘板上发电、板下修复、板间种植’立体化管理模式，实现生态环保与经济效益的协同发展。同时，光伏发电的收入，也能覆盖治沙成本，形成良性循环。”   光伏板阻挡风沙、减少水分蒸发，板下种植耐旱植物如沙柳、柠条、甘草等，板间还可以发展养殖，实现“光伏+生态+农牧”多元融合。目前，库布其沙漠已建成多个百万千瓦级光伏基地，总装机规模达523万千瓦，治理沙漠面积超过25万亩。2025年，全旗光伏装机规模预计将突破1900万千瓦，综合治理沙漠55万亩。   金秋时节，沿着S215穿沙公路挺进库布其沙漠腹地，笔直的柏油穿沙公路将浩瀚的沙漠一分两半。这个曾经标注为“流动沙丘”的地块，如今已被网格状沙障固定。   库布其沙漠（图源视觉中国）   库布其沙漠是中国第七大沙漠，曾被称为“死亡之海”。20世纪80年代，这里流动沙丘占比超61%，植被覆盖率不足3%。经过几代治沙人的努力，如今治理率已达40%，植被覆盖率提升至53%，沙丘高度整体下降一半，沙尘天气显著减少。   鄂尔多斯市杭锦旗居民王荣飞说：“这些地方过去都是大沙漠，这些年，路通了以后，把两侧沙子护住，绿色逐步从两面延伸覆盖，过去这些地方哪有水，现在你看那下面还有水。”   光伏治沙不仅阻沙固土，更带来可观的经济效益。公路不远处，是鄂尔多斯市杭锦旗蒙西基地库布其200万千瓦光伏治沙项目现场。这个项目2023年底建成并网发电，源源不断的绿电输往京津冀地区。该项目负责人李飞介绍，基地的建设运营，高度依赖穿沙公路网络的外联内畅。基地创新的“光伏+”模式，让每平方公里沙地年创收十万余元。   李飞表示：“随着光伏产业规模不断扩大，我们厂区的道路也在不断增多。它除了方便了我们内部员工出行，也极大方便了周边农牧民和一些经过此地的外来人员的出行。”   经济效益也远不止光伏发电，贾海清表示，光伏治沙工程建成后，不仅有了源源不断的绿电，周边的农牧民也能跟着增收。   贾海清说：“我们一般在每年夏季的5、6月份播种草籽，到次年春季，草就长得很高了，农牧民放牧时饲草充足，能够减少购买饲料的支出，有助于提高当地农牧民的经济收入。”   科技是库布其治沙的“隐形翅膀”。无人机飞播、种草机器人、水冲种植等技术广泛应用，机械治沙造林比例近50%，治理效率提升三倍以上。在金水湾标准化种植基地，366个试验区块为甘草种植提供数据支撑，推动亩产收益翻倍。   中国林业科学研究院首席科学家、“三北”工程研究院院长卢琦表示：“中国治沙就是以科学治沙为起点的，像内蒙古河套灌区是最典型的把沙漠改成了良田，现在成了粮仓。科学治沙的另一个大贡献就是鄂尔多斯利用无人机、机器人铺设机械沙障，达到了提速提效的效果。”   目前，库布其模式已写入《联合国防治荒漠化公约》典型案例，并在新疆、甘肃、青海等地复制推广，还走向沙特、蒙古国等共建“一带一路”国家。在第十届库布其国际沙漠论坛上，联合国官员称赞其为“东北亚地区最佳模式之一”。   国家林草局副局长唐芳林在近期通报中指出，“三北”工程三大标志性战役打响两年来，累计实施项目415个，完成治理任务1.64亿亩。其中，黄河“几字弯”攻坚战通过锁边林草带、光伏治沙带等“四道防线”，有效遏制沙化蔓延。   唐芳林说：“当前，‘三北’工程攻坚战正处在全面推进、攻坚克难的关键阶段。我们将确保到2027年完成六期规划70%以上的任务，到2030年如期完成六期规划的目标任务，把祖国北疆生态安全屏障构筑得更加牢固。”   库布其，曾是一片“死亡之海”，如今已成为“绿电之源”“致富之基”。从防沙治沙到光伏增绿，从生态修复到产业兴沙，库布其模式正以“中国智慧”回应世界之问：绿水青山，终成金山银山。     https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20251004/t20251004_527385760.shtml

  • [10/22] 航班“付费选座”，人们不满的是什么？
    　　上观时评 | 航班“付费选座”，人们不满的是什么？     　　信息对称、规则清晰，行业才能行稳致远，真正赢得市场认可   　　国庆假期将至，许多人开始规划出行，机票预订渐入高峰。然而，不少旅客在线值机选座时却发现，航班上可供免费选择的座位所剩无几，大片区域早早变灰被“锁定”，很多座位要付费或使用积分才能解锁。付了机票钱还得付座位钱？这引发了不小的争议。   　　其实，付费选座不是新鲜事。起初，这是航空公司推出的一项差异化服务，但通常只锁定少量座位，可能是第一排、安全出口位置等空间较为宽敞的座位，或者为需要特殊照顾的旅客和线下值机旅客预留的部分区域。这种做法，一方面可以满足部分旅客对舒适性或便利性的要求，另一方面也能为航空公司带来附加收入，本是一种双赢的市场行为。     　　但看了相关报道后不难发现，所谓的“差异化服务”，似乎变了味道。不少航空公司的“锁座”范围显然已超出合理范围。有媒体报道，一趟航班经济舱约有300个座位，但旅客线上选座时可选的免费座位仅有14个，且大多是后排中间位置。极为有限的选择空间，让本是便民的“增值服务”，悄悄变成了某种“强制消费”，难免给人以“强买强卖”之感。   　　其实，争议的核心，并不仅仅在于“付费”本身，而在于付费背后的不透明。其中最令消费者感到不满的是，航空公司并未公开锁座的规则、范围、比例等关键信息，也没有公开锁座的依据标准。消费者在做出购票决策前一无所知，而只有在付完机票钱，完成购票流程后，才能进入选座系统，看到哪些座位能选，哪些不能选。   　　这种信息的不公开和不对称，让消费者在付完费后突然面对一个看似可选、实则带有某种强制性的二次消费选择，就像掉入了一个精心设计、却未曾被告知的消费陷阱。特别是家庭或结伴出行的游客，为了能坐在一起或求一个不至于太别扭的座位，不得不无奈多掏一笔钱。也难怪有网友质疑，这是不是变相提高票价的一种手段？   　　消费者的质疑，并非没有法律依据。我国消费者权益保护法第八条明确规定，消费者享有知悉其购买、使用的商品或者接受的服务的真实情况的权利。航空运输服务作为一种消费行为，自然受该法约束。也就是说，航空公司在售票阶段，有义务向消费者清晰告知可能影响其消费决策的重要信息，这理应包括航班的基础座位布局、哪些座位可能需要付费、相关的付费标准以及锁座的基本规则等。若航空公司未履行这一提前告知义务，导致消费者在信息不完整的情况下购票，后续才发觉需要额外付费，那么，消费者的知情权显然受到了侵害。   　　这让我想起此前闹得沸沸扬扬的预制菜风波，其实，消费者反感的不是预制菜本身，而是不明不白的消费。这个道理，同样适用于“付费选座”。站在企业的角度来看，在竞争激烈的市场环境中寻求利润增长点，本无可厚非，但任何商业模式的创新和服务的细化，都应以尊重和保障消费者合法权益为前提，不能建立在模糊信息、削弱消费者选择能力的基础之上。   　　基于这一逻辑，解题的路径也并不复杂。航空公司不妨主动提升服务信息的透明度，比如，在消费者购票前，就以显著方式明确告知该航班的锁座政策、免费座位和付费座位的分布情况及收费标准，以及让旅客购票时就心里有数，不至于措手不及，甚至感到被骗。相关职能部门也应加强引导和规范，进一步明确航空公司的信息告知义务以及相关标准要求，督促行业形成更规范、更透明的运营秩序。   　　说到底，信息对称、规则清晰，行业才能行稳致远，真正赢得市场认可。人们明明白白消费，企业明明白白挣钱，才是真的双赢。     https://www.chinanews.com.cn/ll/2025/09-25/10489108.shtml

      14日、岩手県花巻市の保育園の庭にクマ1頭が侵入しました。クマは建物の中をのぞき込むような様子を見せましたが、園内にいたおよそ40人の子どもたちにけがはありませんでした。     14日午後2時ごろ、岩手県花巻市にある「笹間保育園」の敷地内の庭にクマ1頭が侵入しました。   保育士が建物の中から撮影した映像では、侵入したクマがドアに前足を押しつけたり、鼻を近づけて建物内をのぞき込んだりするような様子が確認できます。 また、保育園に設置された防犯カメラの映像では、クマが裏口から敷地内に入ってきて、園内の庭や駐車場などを行き来する様子も確認できます。   保育園によりますと、クマは5分ほどで敷地の外に立ち去ったということです。 当時、園内にはおよそ40人の子どもたちがいましたが、けがはありませんでした。   映像を撮影した保育士は「すぐ目の前にクマがいて怖かった。被害がなくてよかった」と話していました。 笹間保育園の寺林拓也園長は「周辺での目撃情報は聞いていたが、園の敷地内に入られたのは初めてだ。入り口の門の施錠を徹底するなど、これまで以上に対策を強化していきたい」と話していました。   花巻市によりますと、保育園での目撃のあとも付近でクマの目撃情報が複数寄せられているということで、市が注意を呼びかけています。

  • 「10/22」NPB “産休制度” 来シーズンから導入へ 大谷が利用で話題に
      プロ野球の選手が妻の出産に立ち会う時などでチームを離れる場合に、短期間での復帰を可能とする「産休」にあたる制度が来シーズンから導入される見通しとなりました。   大リーグでは2025年4月、大谷翔平選手が「産休」にあたる「父親リスト」という制度を利用し、子どもが産まれるのに合わせて欠場したことが話題になりました。   プロ野球でも選手会がNPB＝日本野球機構に対して同じような制度の導入を要望し、検討が進められていましたが、NPBが来シーズンから新たに「慶弔休暇特例措置」を設ける方向で最終調整していることが関係者への取材でわかりました。   関係者によりますと、妻の出産のほか、家族の危篤や亡くなった時も対象で、選手が申請すればチームを離れることができます。 1軍の試合に出るためには、出場選手に登録される必要があり、登録から外れると通常、10日間、再登録できませんが、この特例措置は登録を外れても、通常の10日間を待たずに速やかに復帰できるほか、FA＝フリーエージェントの資格日数にも加算されることが盛り込まれる見通しだということです。 プロ野球界で「産休」にあたる制度が導入され、活用されていくことになるのか注目です。   大リーグでは「産休」にあたる「父親リスト」が2011年から導入されていて、選手が出産の立ち会いなどのために最長で3日間チームを離れることが認められ、その間、代わりに大リーグの試合に出場可能な40人枠から選手を補充できます。 日本選手は2025年、大谷翔平選手が長女の誕生に備えて利用したことが話題となりました。 また、これまでにも現在はプロ野球、巨人の田中将大投手やパドレスのダルビッシュ有投手、カブスの鈴木誠也選手などが活用しています。   日本のプロ野球はこれまで同様の制度はなく、2025年4月にロッテの石川柊太投手が妻の出産を控えて1軍の出場選手登録を外れ、再登録まで必要な10日間を経て復帰しました。 一方、オリックスの紅林弘太郎選手は4月に出産に合わせてチームを離れましたが、1軍の出場選手登録を外れることなく2試合欠場し、球団ごとに対応の違いがありました。
