In April, he was appointed as Hebei governor; and officially elected as governor in January 2009.
In November 2012, Hu was promoted to the powerful Communist Party's Politburo.
He was assigned the Communist Party Secretary of Guangdong province, the province's top political office.
Hu and another Communist Party's Politburo member Sun Zhengcai Hu were seen as promising candidates in the 'sixth generation' of Chinese leadership.
However, Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, changed the traditional power transfer rule.
While Hu was not as unfortunate as Sun who was charged and sentenced (in 2018) due to corruption, he failed to enter the leadership core of CPC - the Politburo Standing Committee.

Sun joined Communist Party of China (CPC) in July 1988.
He was a member of the CPC Central Committee since 2007.
Since November 2012, Sun has been the Communist Party Secretary of Chongqing, an interior municipality, and a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China.
Before that, he served as the Party Secretary of Jilin province, and Minister of Agriculture of China.
Sun is the youngest member of the 18th Politburo, and one of only two members born after 1960, the other being Hu Chunhua.
As such, Sun and Hu were considered to be a leading candidate for a top leadership position in the "6th Generation of Chinese leadership".
However, Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, changed the game by abandoning the successors designated by his predecessors.
In July 14, 2017, Sun was removed from the post of Communist Party Secretary of Chongqing, and investigated for wrong-doings.
On July 24, the Chinese official news agency reported that Sun violated CPC's disciplines.
On September 29, Sun was stripped of his CPC membership, fired from his government position, and charged for crime.
On May 8, 2018, Sun was sentenced for life in prison.
The undue burden standard is a constitutional test created by the Supreme Court of the United States.
The test, first developed in the late 19th century, is widely used in American constitutional law.
In short, the Undue Burden standard says the legislature cannot make a particular law that is too burdensome or restrictive of one's fundamental rights.
One use of the standard was in Morgan v. Commonwealth of Virginia, 328 U.S. 373 (1946).
In a 7-to-1 ruling, Associate Justice Stanley Forman Reed fashioned an "undue burden" test to decide the constitutionality of a Virginia law requiring separate but equal racial segregation in public transportation. "
There is a recognized abstract principle, however, that may be taken as a postulate for testing whether particular state legislation in the absence of action by Congress is beyond state power.
This is that the state legislation is invalid if it unduly burdens that commerce in matters where uniformity is necessary—necessary in the constitutional sense of useful in accomplishing a permitted purpose."
More recently, the standard has been used in cases involving state restrictions on a woman's access to abortion.
The standard was applied by Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in her dissent in City of Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, 462 US 416 (1983).
O'Connor used the test as an alternative to the strict scrutiny test applied in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973).

Yacouba Sawadogo is a farmer from Burkina Faso, a country in West Africa.
He has been using a traditional farming technique called Zaï to help soil damaged by drought.
He is notable for spreading an improved soil and water conservation practice in Burkina Faso.
He went to a religious school where the students often didn't have enough to eat.
Since he was the smallest and youngest, he was the one who had to go without.
The northern parts of Burkina Faso are very dry and often have droughts.
The most recent big drought in happened in the 1970s, resulting in a famine (lack of food) which killed a lot of people.
The drought caused a lot of desertification.
There were also other problems like overgrazing, bad land management, and overpopulation.
These problems meant that a lot of land could not be used to grow food.
Together with Mathieu Ouédraogo, another local farmer, Yacouba Sawadogo tried different ways of fixing bad soil in about 1980.
He uses simple traditional things: cordons pierreux (lines of stones) and zaï holes.
Both Sawadogo and Ouédraogo have tried to get other people to do the same things.
Cordons pierreux (stone lines)
Cordons pierreux are thin lines of fist-sized stones laid across fields.
They catch water.
When rain falls, it pushes silt (special dirt) across top of the field.
The rocks slow down the water so it soaks into the ground more.
The silt also makes a good place for seeds of local plants to grow.
The plants slow the water even more, and their roots break up the soil, so it's easier for more water to soak in.
Zaï holes
Zaï holes are holes dug in the soil.
They also catch water, but in a different way.
They used to only be used a little bit to make land better for growing plants.
Yacouba Sawadogo had the idea to fill the holes with manure and other things to make food for the plants.
The manure attracts termites, whose tunnels help break up the soil even more.
He also made the holes slightly bigger than the traditional ones.
Zaï holes have been used to help cultivate trees, and crops like sorghum and millet.
Yacouba Sawadogo holds "Market Days" to get other people to do these things, especially zaï holes.
People come to share seeds and learn from each another.
Problems with Burkina Faso Government
Yacouba Sawadogo's work with zaï holes helped him make a forest of about fifty acres (20 hectares).
The nearby city of Ouahigouya took the land to make money.
Sawadogo and his family members each get one tenth of  out of the plot, and don't get any other payment.
Sawadogo is trying to get $20,000 ( American dollars) to buy the land.
Burkinabé people
Zaï is a technique used in agriculture.
Holes are dug in the soil to catch water.
They have been used in the western Sahel area to make soil healthier and grow more plants.
Yacouba Sawadogo, a farmer from Burkina Faso, is bringing back zaï holes.
He came up with the idea of filling them with manure and compost as food for plants.
The manure attracts termites, whose tunnels help further break up the soil.
Zaï holes help trees, sorghum, and millet make up to 500% more food or wood.
A jury trial or trial by jury is a legal proceeding in which a jury either makes a decision or makes findings of fact.
This is called a verdict.
The judge usually follows the jury's verdict in his ruling.
It is distinguished from a bench trial, in which a judge or panel of judges make all decisions.
William the Conqueror brought to England a system of having witnesses who had any knowledge of a crime, tell the court what they knew.
They did this after first swearing an oath.
The word juror in English comes from the French jurer (to swear).
In the 12th century juries were used by the king to discover and present facts.
Usually this was in answer to questions posed by the king or his ministers who made the final decision in the case.
In the late colonial period, juries became a tool used to express American discontent with British rule.
After the Revolutionary war, the Seventh Amendment's right to a jury trial was written to limit the powers of the executive and the Judicial branches of the new federal government.
Criminal trials
Jury trials are changing worldwide.
In 2008 Russia abolished jury trials in cases of treason and terrorism.
Britain, where juries got their start, is using them less in cases of serious fraud and may ban them from some inquests.
In many asian countries, their legal systems are moving towards using the jury trial more.
In the United States jury trials are on the decline.
In federal courts
Civil trials
The right to a jury trial in civil cases is found in the United States but in very few other places.
England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have all but done away with civil jury trials in favor of bench trials.
Fewer than 1 percent of civil trials in the US are jury trials.
The Seventh Amendment prevents judges from overturning a jury verdict in federal cases where the finding of fact is reasonably supported by the evidence.
In addition, the Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy trial by an impartial jury in criminal trials.

The lacrimal bone is the smallest bone in the face; about the size of the little fingernail.
It is at the front of the inside wall of the eye socket.
The lacrimal bone is involved in crying.
It is part of the tear duct, where tears drain from the eye.
The lacrimal sac is where tears flow when you cry.
The tears then go down a duct inside the nose.
This is why you can get a runny nose from crying.
The Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office is the official cat of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
The cat works at 10 Downing Street.
Only three cats, Humphrey, Sybil and Larry, have been given the title officially.
Other cats have been given this title as a nickname, usually by the British press.
There has been a Downing Street cat mouser and pet since the reign of Henry VIII.<ref>(archive not available)</small></ref>
Official records about these working cats only date back to 3 June 1929.
These come from the Treasury and state the cost for taking care of the cat.
Now, the mouser costs 100 GBP (about $140) a year for keep.
The cats do not always belong to the Prime Minister in residence.
Only rarely do they serve for exactly the same time as a Prime Minister.
The cat with the longest known time at Downing Street is Wilberforce.
He served for eighteen years under Edward Heath, Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan, and Margaret Thatcher.
The incumbent is Larry, since 15 February 2011.
The last cat Sybil, was the first mouser after a ten-year gap.
She began in September 2007 and left in January 2009.
Sybil was owned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling, who lived in 10 Downing Street.
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, lived in the larger 11 Downing Street.
It was reported that Sybil did not like living in London.
She went back to Scotland to live with a friend of the Darlings until she died.
In January 2011, rats were seen in Downing Street, "scurrying across the steps of Number 10 Downing Street for the second time during a TV news report,",  as reported by Independent Television News .
The Prime Minister's office first said there were "no plans" for a cat to be brought in.
On 14 February 2011, it was reported that a cat named "Larry" had been brought in to get rid of the rodents.
The London Evening Standard reported that the brown and white tabby cat had been chosen by David Cameron and his family, from those at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.
In September 2012, it was reported that Prime Minister David Cameron had dismissed Larry from the post of Chief Mouser.
He put in place Chancellor George Osborne's tabby cat, Freya, as the new Chief Mouser to patrol Numbers 10, 11, and 12.
Some sources said the two cats would be "job sharing" to avoid any hurt feelings.
In November 2014 Freya was exiled from Downing Street, again leaving Larry as the Chief Mouser.
When Theresa May became new Prime Minister in July 2016, Cabinet Office staff said that Larry would still live at Downing Street and would be Chief Mouser under the new Prime Minister.
However, The Daily Telegraph says maybe Cameron does not really like Larry.
During David Cameron's final Prime Minister's Questions on 13 July 2016, the Prime Minister said to the House that Larry's role as Chief Mouser was secure even after the change of premier.
Cameron also showed photos that prove he loves Larry.
He spoke of his "sadness" that he cannot take Larry with him.
The British government voluntarily employees and feeds 100,000 cats to keep down mice on government property.
By being chosen Chief Mouser, of course, Larry (and Freya) became quite pampered cats, living in royal luxury.
Larry's sixth year in Downing Street
Larry's birthday was celebrated on 15 February 2016.
A month later Larry's importance to the UK was compared favourably to a team of dolphins being trained by the Russian Navy.
In April Larry's ability to be a good mouser was again questioned.
So a new neighbour, Palmerston the cat, moved into the Foreign Office.
Just a week later Palmerston made his first kill, a mouse.
In June 2016 it was reported that Larry is undecided about the Brexit decision.
Whether he gets to keep living at 10 Downing Street, he will still get his daily dinner.

Civil law is a branch of the law in common law countries.
The other branch of common law is criminal law.
Civil law is concerned with the duties individuals owe to other people or to their government.
This excludes the duty not to commit crimes.
The American form of civil justice is considerably different from European systems.
Two features stand out, class actions and the awarding of punitive damages in tort cases.
Many people in other countries are amazed at the number of civil cases in the United States.
Americans sue in a wide variety of cases for compensation and medical expenses that are covered in other countries by national health insurance and government compensation programs.
Civil cases
Civil law is concerned with cases such as divorce, child custody and support and related lawsuits.
Contract cases, tort cases (when someone is hurt and seeks compensation) and crimes which are tried in a criminal court and then tried in a civil case.
Examples would be cases resulting from drunk driving or hit and run.
Civil cases use a lower preponderance of the evidence standard of proof whereas criminal cases use the higher standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
An example of the differences and that the same crime can result in both criminal and civil trials is the O. J. Simpson trials.
In his criminal trial a jury decided the evidence did not meet the higher standard so he was acquitted of murder charges.
But in the civil wrongful death trial he was found guilty.
Civil jury trials
Where juries are used, the presence of a jury has changed the form of civil proceedings.
A jury has to be impaneled, they must hear witnesses and go over evidence before reaching a verdict.
The verdict, in turn, must follow the instructions given by a judge.
Civil bench trials
Bench trials in civil cases are usually conducted differently than jury trials.
Judges usually prefer settlements to trials and prefer bench trials because they save time.
A judge can streamline a case by asking for what he wants to see and hear, not what is presented for the benefit of a jury.
Bench trials have several advantages.
They are usually much less formal than a jury trial.
Attorneys for both sides can usually agree on the facts of a case before the trial starts.
This can save a great deal of time otherwise spent on hearing witnesses and reviewing evidence.
This can save on the costs of a trial.
In a jury trial, the judge is required to give instructions to the jury before they deliberate.
If a judge makes an error in his instructions, this is called a reversible error and can be used as a basis for an appeal.
In a bench trial, the judge gives no instructions since there is no jury.
This means the judge cannot be reversed due to an error in the instructions.

CBGB was a New York City music nightclub.
The letters "CBGB" stand for country, bluegrass, blues.
These included Patti Smith Group, Blondie, Ramones and Talking Heads.
One store next to CBGB became the "CBGB Record Canteen", a record shop and café.
In the late 1980s, CBGB Record Canteen was changed into an art gallery and second performance space.
The name was "CB's 313 Gallery."
CB's Gallery was played by artists of milder sounds, such as acoustic rock, folk, jazz or experimental music.
On the other side, CBGB had a small cafe and bar in the mid 1990s.
The cafe served classic New York pizza.
In October 2006, the original CBGB closed after its final concert.
The concert was by Patti Smith.
CBGB Radio started on the iHeartRadio platform in 2010.
In 2013, its previous building, 315 Bowery, was added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Bowery Historic District.
The 2015–16 UEFA Champions League group stage began on 15 September and ended on 9 December 2015.

Wilberforce  was a cat who lived and worked at 10 Downing Street, the home of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
He lived there between October 1973 and 13 November 1987.
He served under four British Prime Ministers: Edward Heath, Harold Wilson, Jim Callaghan, and Margaret Thatcher.
His chief job was to catch mice.
While he was alive, he was said to be "the best mouser in Britain" as fit his role.
History and career
Wilberforce was just a kitten when he was adopted from a London branch of the RSPCA in 1973.
This was while Edward Heath was Prime Minister.
He was appointed the Office Manager's cat, with a living allowance for his care.
The black-and-white cat turned out to be a terrific mouser.
The policeman on security duty at the front door of Number 10 had to ring the bell for Wilberforce whenever he wanted to come in.
According to Bernard Ingham, the former press secretary to Margaret Thatcher, Wilberforce was a normal cat for whom Thatcher once bought "a tin of sardines in a Moscow supermarket".
Ingham was allergic to cats and did his best to avoid Wilberforce. "
Bloody Wilberforce used to sit under my desk and I would have a fit of sneezing.
I hate cats", he said.
Wilberforce retired in 1986, after 13 years of loyal service.
He went to live with a retired caretaker from No.
10 in the country.
He died in his sleep on 19 May 1988.

A delegate someone who is either chosen or elected to vote or act for others.
In organizations like the United Nations, each country sends delegates to represent them.
Political delegates
Before a general election in the US, the process to select candidates begins with delegates.
At the state level each of the major political parties selects delegates to attend a national convention.
The two ways delegates are selected are the caucus and the Primary election.
Each state may have different ways to select delegates as do political parties.
The Republican Party lets each state decide how to select delegates.
The Democratic Party uses a proportional method for awarding delegates.
The percentage of delegates each candidate is awarded depends on the caucus or how many are elected for each candidate.
Candidate "X" may have 40 percent, candidate "Y" may have 20 percent while candidate "Z" may have 50 percent.
Any remaining percent may be undecided votes or for other candidates.
A candidate becomes his or her party's presidential nominee after the delegates sent to the convention give that person a majority of the votes.
Because there are often multiple rounds of votes taken to select a presidential candidate, delegates sometimes change their votes.
But in recent elections that has become unnecessary.
Since 1976, it was fairly clear who was the front-runner even before the first vote was taken.

The axillary nerve is a nerve in the armpit.
It comes from the brachial plexus.
It has nerve fibers from the C5 and C6 nerve roots.
The axillary nerve goes through the quadrangular space.
It is sometimes called the circumflex nerve.
The axillary nerve sends signals to two muscles in the forearm, and to muscles in the hand.
The axillary nerve also sends signals to the brain from the shoulder joint, and from the skin.
Injuries and problems
The axillary nerve can get injured from shoulder dislocation, squashing the armpit using a crutch or a broken arm.
Injury to the nerve results in:
Paralysis (meaning it can't move) of the teres minor muscle and deltoid muscle, resulting in trouble moving the arm.
Paralysis of deltoid and teres minor muscles results in flat shoulder deformity.
Loss of feeling in the skin over a small part of the lateral upper arm.
The triceps brachii muscle is a muscle on the back of the upper arm.
There are three parts that each come from different places at the top of the arm and join together at the elbow.
It straightens the arm.
The name is Latin for "three-headed muscle in the arm".
The triceps brachii has three heads.
They are: the long head, medial (inside) head, and the lateral (outside) head.
The long head comes from the shoulderblade.
It goes down the arm between teres minor muscle and teres major muscle.
The medial head is mostly made of small, slow muscle fibers and motor units.
The lateral head is mostly made of large, fast fibers and motor units.
The long head is made of a mixture of fiber types and motor units.
Some scientists think that each of the three parts can be thought of as separate muscles.
The fibers join to a single tendon to attach to the ulna bone.
Some research found that there might be more than one tendon.
Nerve supply
Scientists used to think that all three heads of the triceps brachii got nerve signals from the radial nerve.
However, a study found that, in 20 cadaveric (dead) bodies and 15 live people, the long head actually got nerve signals from part of the axillary nerve in every case.
The triceps straightens the elbow pulls against the biceps and brachialis muscles.
It can also hold the elbow in place when the forearm and hand are used for small movements, like writing.
The long head might be used when the same force is needed for a long time, or to help control shoulder and elbow movement.
The lateral head is used when a lot of force is needed at once, while the medial part is used for more careful movement.
The name triceps brachii is Latin for three-headed.
It is called this because there are three parts of the muscle.
The triceps brachii is commonly just called the triceps.
The plural of triceps used to be tricipites, but now people usually say triceps to mean both singular and plural.
Many mammals, like dogs, cows, and pigs, have a fourth triceps head, called the accessory head.
It is between the lateral and medial heads.

A tensor is a mathematical object.
Tensors provide a mathematical framework for solving physics problems in areas such as elasticity, fluid mechanics and general relativity.
The word tensor comes from the Latin word tendere meaning "to stretch".
A tensor of order zero (zeroth-order tensor) is a scalar (simple number).
A tensor of order one (first-order tensor) is a linear map that maps every vector into a scalar.
A vector is a tensor of order one.
A tensor of order two (second-order tensor) is a linear map that maps every vector into a vector (e.g. a matrix).
In linear algebra, the tensor product of two vector spaces  and , ,  is itself a vector space.
It is a way of creating a new vector space analogous of multiplication of integers.

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is a way to grow rice.
This plan for farming may grow more rice in the same field.
It uses less water, takes more work, and uses younger seedlings spaced apart.
SRI calls for  hand weeding with special tools.
It was started in 1983 by the French Jesuit Father Henri de Laulanié in Madagascar.
Full testing and spread of the system throughout the rice growing parts of the world did not happen until some years later with the help of schools like Cornell University.
History and main ideas of SRI
Writing the plan now called SRI started in the 1960s when Fr.
de Laulanie kept notes on growing rice.
The SRI plan includes using less water and hand planting very young seedlings in a square.
The SRI plan continues to change.
Sometimes people try to use only rain for water, and sometimes people try to plant seeds instead of young plants.
The main parts of SRI plan written by Cornell University, New York are:
Rice field soils are kept moist, not always full of water.
Less water in the soil helps root growth and helps keep the soil full of helpful organisms.
Rice plants are planted alone and spaced wider apart to permit roots to grow more and give every leaf more sunshine.
Rice seedlings are planted young, less than 15 days old with just two leaves.
Planting should be fast, and not hard to avoid hurting the roots and causing shock to the plants.
Spread of SRI
Thanks to Norman Uphoff, the SRI plan has spread from Madagascar to many places around the world.
Norman Uphoff was director of the Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York from 1990 to 2005.
In 1993, Uphoff met officers from Association Tefy Saina, the non-governmental organisation set up in Madagascar in 1990 by de Laulanie to try SRI.
After trying the SRI plan for three years, Malagasy farms that made about 2 tons/hectare improved to about 8 tons/hectare.
Uphoff believed the SRI plan works, and in 1997 started to tell groups in Asia about SRI.
Uphoff estimates that by 2013 the number of small farms using SRI had grown to between 4 and 5 million.
Does SRI Work?
Believers and unbelievers of SRI talk about the SRI claims, and many questions about it remain unresolved.
Wageningen University has also published an article discussing the problems of measuring SRI.
This paper ended by saying: "Although the technical aspects of SRI have been contested, it clearly exists as a real social phenomenon".
Proponents and critics of SRI debate the claimed benefits and many questions about it remain unresolved.
Wageningen University has also published an article discussing the challenges of evaluating SRI in which one concluding sentence read: "Although the technical aspects of SRI have been contested, it clearly exists as a real social phenomenon".
Cases of success
Believers of SRI claim it grows more rice, saves water, reduces costs, and raises income and that benefits have been achieved in 40 countries.
Uphoff published an article in the International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability that states that SRI "can raise irrigated rice yields to about double the present world average without relying on external inputs, also offering environmental and equity benefits".
In 2011 Five farmers beat the old yield record, the best was a young farmer named Sumant Kumar setting a new world record in rice yield of 22.4 tons per hectare using SRI, beating the existing world record held by the Chinese scientist Yuan Longping by 3 tons.
In 2014 S Sethumadhavan from Alanganallur, India grew a record yield of nearly 24 tons of paddy rice per hectare using SRI.
How well SRI works is still debated between believers and unbelievers of the plan.
Critics of SRI say that claims of high yield in SRI are due to unscientific reporting.
They object that there is a lack of details on the methodology used in trials and a lack of printed reports in the peer-reviewed literature (related to schools and universities).
Some unbelievers have suggested that SRI success is unique to soil conditions in Madagascar.
While unbelievers still claim this, there are over 700 articles and printed reports about SRI that are published in international scientific journals as of January 2016.

Co-dependency is a term from psychiatry.
In certain cases, people knowing an addict can increase the addiction through their actions.
As an example, take a person who is an alcoholic.
Because of alcoholism, that person is not as productive as his colleagues at work.
Colleagues at work may work more and compensate for the work the alcoholic has not done.
A similar case can be made for family members who help finance a dependency.
Someone suffering from codependency will not be able to self-soothe and will rely on their partner in order to meet their own emotional needs.
Codependence can cause an irrational fear of rejection and being alone.
Codependence can be one-sided, or both partners may suffer from it.
In a codependent relationship, individuals put the other person’s needs before their own, often sacrificing their own integrity and sense of self in the process.
Codependency can cause a person to have an overinflated belief that they alone are responsible for affecting the beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours of those around them.
Causes of Codependency
Codependency is often thought to be a result of living with alcoholic parents or other family members who struggle with substance abuse.
Codependency may begin in childhood, as children often grow up modeling behaviors after a parent who may have been codependent or in a codependent relationship.
Codependency may also be the result of a traumatic event, whether in childhood or adulthood.
A complex relationship between codependency and narcissism has been established, indicating that the two often go hand in hand, and even sometimes overlap.
Symptoms of Codependency
There are two main forms of codependence: passive and active.
Someone who is passively codependent is more likely to avoid conflict and confrontation, going to great lengths to keep things smooth and not rock the boat.
Active codependency is often more manipulative, and an individual may try to push their partner into behaving a certain way in order to fill their own emotional needs.
Both forms of codependence have many things in common, however.
Some common signs of codependency include:
Putting the feelings of others above oneself: Someone who suffers from codependence will often sacrifice their own feelings and wellbeing in order to make their partner happy.
''Constrained ability to assert oneself: With codependence, a person will rarely stand up for themselves, and if they do, it is often followed by intense bouts of guilt.
