An Oxnard police officer made some new fans over the weekend. children skateboarding in shanghai

Taylor Penny shared video of an Oxnard police officer's interaction with a group of skateboarders skating in a residential neighborhood.

According to Penny, a neighbor contacted police to report the kids for skateboarding. Officers arrived on scene, talked to the kids, and instead of giving them a lecture or a citation, recommended some better places for them to skate.

One of the officers even tried his hand at the sport, riding one of the kid's boards and nailing a kickflip (after one unsuccessful practice attempt). He even tried to hit a 360-flip, but couldn't stick the landing.

Penny says the interaction is a "great example of how awesome Oxnard Police Department is!"

The new law, among other things, aims to provide districts with more flexibility as to the language acquisition programs they choose to meet the needs of English Learners (ELs), while maintaining accountability for timely and effective English language acquisition. The law directed the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to establish licensure endorsements for various language acquisition program types (for example, Two-Way Immersion Programs) in order to improve the teaching and learning of ELs. For an overview of the LOOK Act, please click here. To access the March 16, 2018 Memo to the Board. For the complete text of the LOOK Act, please refer here.

Queenie Liao, an office worker in Guangzhou, China, shops online several times a week. Alibaba’s Taobao and JD.com are her go-to platforms, but it wasn’t always that way.To get more amazon china, you can visit shine news official website.

“I used to use Amazon a few years ago. Amazon was one of the first online shops in China and a lot of friends told me that the things from Amazon were much more trustable. That’s why I used it,” Liao told CNBC. “Taobao and JD have more items now.”

Her shift in attitude underscores one of the major reasons why Amazon is thought to be struggling in China. The U.S. e-commerce giant now plans to close its domestic marketplace business in China.

“We are notifying sellers we will no longer operate a marketplace on Amazon.cn and we will no longer be providing seller services on Amazon.cn effective July 18,” the company said in a statement, referring to its Chinese-language site, according to the Financial Times.Over the past few years, we have been evolving our China online retail business to increasingly emphasize cross-border sales, and in return we’ve seen very strong response from Chinese customers. Their demand for high-quality, authentic goods from around the world continues to grow rapidly, and given our global presence, Amazon is well-positioned to serve them,” the company added.

Customers in China will still be able to buy items from the U.S., Germany, Japan and the U.K. through Amazon’s global site as it focused more on cross-border sales into the world’s second-largest economy, according to an earlier Reuters report. Amazon’s cloud business will reportedly continue to operate in China.Amazon entered the Chinese market in 2004 through the acquisition of Joyo, a domestic online shopping market. Joyo was rebranded to Amazon China in 2011. It enjoyed success in the early days with market share of over 15 percent in 2011 to 2012, according to China-based analyst Choi Chun of iResearch. That has now plummeted to less than 1 percent, according to another China-based market research firm, Analysys.

As Liao mentioned, Amazon had a reputation in the early days of its China operation for being a site that would have legitimate products and so was trusted by Chinese consumers. Chinese players like Alibaba struggled with policing fake items on their sites. Chinese e-commerce players, however, have been taking proactive measures to fight counterfeit goNot only is Amazon trying to compete with e-commerce giants like JD and Alibaba, who are often able to deliver goods to Chinese customers faster, but smaller domestic like Pinduoduo and VIP.com are also offering a challenge.

The U.S. giant has also not been as aggressive on the marketing front as some of its rivals. Alibaba and JD both do huge sales promotions and big advertising campaigns on Nov.11 each year, known in China as Singles Day.

Amazon said in its statement that it is emphasizing cross-border trade. While that may have been a unique part of the business in the past, China’s domestic players have put a big focus on that in recent years. In November, Alibaba announced plans to help global businesses sell $200 billion in goods to China in the next five years. However, analysts said Amazon can still compete for now.JD and Alibaba are better positioned because they have larger traffic and consumers trust these two platforms (relatively to other platforms). But one thing I need to point out is that cross-border e-commerce in China is not as consolidated as regular domestic e-commerce, online shoppers go to different platforms for different overseas merchandises,” Chun told CNBC. “Therefore, Amazon’s cross border e-commerce is still very competitive.”

Chun said Amazon’s cross-border business is “not insignificant,” but the U.S. firm “doesn’t realize their problem in the Chinese operation and doesn’t want to catch up.”“I don’t rule out the possibility that Amazon’s cross-border business will follow the same path of Amazon’s China domestic e-commerce business,” Chun said.

Li Doudou’s gray kitten squeezes in next to her as she sits painstakingly applying makeup and putting up her hair in a bun adorned with elaborate ornaments.To get more hanfu, you can visit shine news official website.

Looking like she has just stepped off the set of a Chinese historical drama, the 26-year-old property appraiser is wearing a long Ming dynasty-style blue tunic with sweeping sleeves and a flower design outlined in gold and silver thread, paired with a flowing orange skirt.

Li, who lives in Hebei province in northeast China, is a devotee of the hanfu movement, which has spanned a decade and in the last year has seen a spike in followers, partly thanks to social media.

Hanfu, meaning “Han clothing,” is based on the idea of donning costumes worn in bygone eras by China’s dominant Han ethnic group. Some of the most popular styles are from the Ming, Song and Tang dynasties.Hanfu enthusiasts doubled to 2 million in 2018 from a year earlier, according to a survey by Hanfu Zixun, a popular community account on the Wechat social media platform.

“Everyone wants to share what is beautiful and has spread the word via platforms like Little Red Book, Weibo and Wechat,” said Dai, who only gave her last name. She is a public relations manager at Chong Hui Han Tang, a 13-year-old national chain of Han clothing stores.Li donned her first gown in March and has lost count of how many hanfu outfits she has in her wardrobe.

Li was inspired to buy hanfu by an account dubbed Nanzhi999, which has 1.1 million followers on the Douyin short video social media platform. A tall, slim man posts videos on this account in which he is dramatically transformed into a beautiful young woman in traditional Chinese gowns.

Many Hanfu followers like the clothes for the fashion statement, but some — Li included — say its significance is greater.“It’s to propagate China’s traditional culture,” said another girl, who only gave her surname, Li, at an event to mark the Chinese equivalent of Valentine’s Day in Beijing last month.

Those who have studied hanfu say the movement is a mix of history and fantasy, said Kevin Carrico, author of “The Great Han.”“It’s very much taking a modern concept and projecting it into the past,” he said.Hanfu practitioners say they are apolitical, although they point to instances where hanfu gets support from the government.

The Communist Youth League organized a Chinese National Costume Day for the first time last year, urging people to share their ethnic outfits online. Hanfu also aligns with President Xi Jinping’s call to promote traditional Chinese values.

What keeps people reaching for their hanfu outfits is often more personal.Since starting to wear hanfu, Li Doudou has attended a class on traditional tea ceremonies. She is also planning to learn to play the guqin, an ancient seven-stringed zither.“The biggest change for me personally is it gives me more self-confidence,” she said. “When I wear hanfu, I feel like I’m the most beautiful person in the world.”
