A | CARACAS, Venezuela -- Frightened by unprecedented violence on the streets and within prisons, Ecuadorians have a universal demand for the president they will choose Sunday — safety.The runoff election in the South American country pits an heir to a banana empire, Daniel Noboa, and an attorney, Luisa González. Both have limited governing experience and will undoubtedly have their work cut out.The election comes as more Ecuadorians become victims of drug-related violence that erupted roughly three years ago and intensified in August, when a presidential candidate was assassinated in broad daylight. People continuously watch their backs and limit how often they leave home. The uneasiness even pushed Noboa to add a bulletproof vest to his daily outfit.Whoever wins with a simple majority of votes will govern for only 15 months, until May 2025, which is what remains of the presidency of Guillermo Lasso. He cut his term short when he dissolved the country’s National Assembly in May as lawmakers carried out impeachment proceedings against him over alleged improprieties in a contract by a state-owned company.Lasso, a conservative former banker, clashed constantly with lawmakers after his election in 2021 and decided not to run in the special election. Under Lasso's watch, violent deaths soared, reaching 4,600 in 2022, the country’s highest in history and double the total in 2021. The National Police tallied 3,568 violent deaths in the first half of 2023.“Security affects us all, and whether poor or rich, no one is safe from criminals anymore,” housewife Ximena Flores said ahead of the runoff election. “Do you think that a new president will be able to do something in such a short time? I think not. It will be a new disappointment for everyone.”The spike in violence is tied to cocaine trafficking. Mexican, Colombian and Balkan cartels have set roots in Ecuador and operate with assistance from local criminal gangs.Voting is mandatory in Ecuador for people ages 18 through 64. Those who don’t comply face a fine of about $45. Polls were to close in late afternoon, and results were expected Sunday evening.Noboa and González, both of whom have served short stints as lawmakers, advanced to the runoff by finishing ahead of six other candidates in the election’s first round Aug. 22.Noboa, 35, is an heir to a fortune built on Ecuador’s main crop, bananas. His political career began in 2021, when he won a seat in the National Assembly and chaired its Economic Development Commission. He opened an event organizing company when he was 18 and then joined his father’s Noboa Corp., where he held management positions in the shipping, logistics and commercial areas.González, 45, held various government jobs during the decade-long presidency of Rafael Correa, her mentor, and was a lawmaker until May. She was unknown to most voters until Correa’s party picked her as its presidential candidate. At the start of the campaign, she said Correa would be her adviser, but she has recently tried to distance herself a bit in an effort to court voters who oppose the former president.___Associated Press writer Gonzalo Solano in Quito, Ecuador, contributed to this report.。 北京师范大学桑国元教授入校指导 专家引领明方向 共绘文化新篇章 在这个寒风凛冽的冬日，湖明小学却洋溢着温暖如春的学术氛围。依据“未来教育家名校长培养计划——思明区名校长培养工程”的研修部署，2024年12月20日，我校迎来了北京师范大学教育学部课程与教学研究院桑国元教授，以及思明小学陈雪芳校长和滨北小学郭乾校长，他们的到来如同一缕春风，为我们的校园文化和品牌建设注入新的活力。 PART 01 观校园文化 品缕缕书香 在何雅琳书记和洪美玉校长的陪同下，桑教授一行首先参观了校园，校长助理张玮老师从“阅成长”“悦奉献”“跃未来”三个板块对校园文化进行了细致介绍，并展示了孩子的阅读作品和文创作品，聆听后，桑教授感受到书香校园的浓浓阅读氛围，并对我校YUE文化品牌构建有了初步感知。 PART 02 听项目汇报 解文化密码 座谈会上，六（3）班的学生代表首先以“篆刻”项目式学习汇报的形式，向来宾们展示了他们的综合实践活动成果。学生们从搜集篆刻相关阅读材料起步，通过集思广益的讨论，激发了创意的火花。以刀代笔，将橡皮作为画布，篆刻出一幅幅充满个性的作品。随后，他们将这学习与创作的过程，融入到诗歌与歌曲的创作中，让艺术的灵感在生活中绽放。在外图书城的爱心义卖活动中，他们更是将这份匠心精神和艺术创作传递给社会，展现了他们的社会责任感和爱心。
