MADRID Thomas Meunier Belgie Shirt , Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- "A good adventure, which asked a lot of me and demanded a lot of commitment," is how Spanish singer Luz Casal described the experience of singing in the traditional New Year Gala to be broadcast in Beijing based television network CCTV to help welcome in the 'Year of the Goat.'


Luz is perhaps best known for the song 'Piensa en mi' (Think of me) which appeared in the Pedro Almodovar film, 'High Heels', but that is just one moment in a career spanning over 30 years in which she has released over 15 albums with career sales of over 5 million and which has also seen her win two battles against breast cancer.


Throughout her career Luz has sung in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French Dries Mertens Belgie Shirt , but for the New Year gala, she faced one of her "biggest challenges," singing in Chinese and knowing that if she got it wrong she would "look ridiculous in front of 700 million people."


Luz explained at a meeting with Chinese press in Madrid, the opportunity came around two years after a series of concenters in China in which she had visited cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou.


"It's a chance that has fallen from heaven," explained Luz, although that chance "from heaven" left her with a lot of work to learn a Chinese version of one of her most popular songs.


She set about the task by working every day for a month with her teacher Julia Koen Casteels Belgie Shirt , who commented that in her first session, Luz had "problems with pronunciation ... But the second time she had improved a lot and people were surprised how she sang."


"It (Chinese) is a complex and complicated language, but with effort, someone what is dedicated to music can learn it by working on the sounds," explained Luz, who added that singing in Chinese was a way of establishing a relationship with the public.


"If you can learn to sing one song, then the wall between you and the audience gets smaller Simon Mignolet Belgie Shirt ," she said, although she admitted that at times she had "felt like a schoolgirl," as she focused on getting the sounds as "close as possible," to the authentic Chinese pronunciation.


Luz carried out her performance in a striking red dress. "Red means 'passion' to me," said the singer, of the color which can signify 'good luck' in China. "To have a relationship with a color which means 'luck' in another country is important."


And luck could be on the horizon as Luz admitted she "had the feeling I'll be back in China in the year of the goat," and given that she also says now she would "rather sing in Chinese than in English Kevin Mirallas Belgie Shirt ," that return cannot be very far away.


LONDON, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- The British unemployment rate dropped to 6.0 percent in the three months leading to August 2014, down from 6.1 percent in the three-month period ending in July, marking the lowest level since late 2008, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed Wednesday.


The unemployment rate was slightly lower than the market estimation consensus of 6.1 percent. And London economists reckon that the British labor market is starting to improve.


PAY INCREASE


There were 1.97 million unemployed people in the three months leading up to August, down 154,000 from the previous quarter and 538 Eden Hazard Belgie Shirt ,000 fewer than a year earlier, the figures showed.


The employment rate for those aged 16 to 64 for the period from June to August was 73.0 percent, 0.1 percentage point higher than that in the period from March to May 2014. There were 30.76 million people in employment aged 16 and over, 46,000 more than for March to May 2014 and 736,000 more than a year earlier, the government's statistics department reported.


Claims for unemployment benefits fell by 18 Romelu Lukaku Belgie Shirt ,600 from the previous month to a total of 951,900 in September. Compared with 2013 figures, it was down by 394,500, said ONS.


Meanwhile, in the same period, British employees' total pay was a mere 0.7 percent higher than last year. Pay excluding bonuses for employees was 0.9 percent higher Youri Tielemans Belgie Shirt , data also showed.


PRODUCTIVITY INCHES UP


The latest UK labor market figures indicate that the economy is finally starting to see a "pick-up" in productivity that is required for the recovery to maintain its present momentum, reported Samuel Tombs, senior UK economist at Capital Economics, in an analysis piece.


The headline rate of annual growth in average weekly earnings, which edged up again from 0.6 percent to 0.7 percent in August, will see a more substantial acceleration soon and might even exceed inflation in a few months' time, said Tombs.


"A pick-up in real earnings next year should enable the economic recovery to broadly maintain its current pace despite the eurozone's stagnation and onset of rising interest rates Kevin De Bruyne Belgie Shirt ," he added.


Martin Beck, senior economic adviser to the EY ITEM Club, commented in a note that "the long-awaited recovery in productivity may be finally under way. Employment rose by a modest 0.1 percent in the three months leading up to August, while the number of hours worked didn't change.


"Our estimate of GDP growth at 0.8 percent over the same period implies output per worker is picking up and, as pay rises are still very weak, unit labor costs should fall. Overall, a sustainable and low-inflation expansion should remain on track Axel Witsel Belgie Shirt ," he said.

BEIJING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years has stoked fear that the technology will one day take control of human destiny. However, experts believe humans are still able to be the masters of their own fate by making the machines they have invented work for their benefit.


WIDESPREAD APPLICATION


Given its extensive application in industrial production and everyday activities, AI is nothing new nowadays both as a concept and in actual practice.


It not only has liberated humans from trivial and repetitive work, but also can satisfactorily accomplish tasks that ar.
