HOUSTON Brett Hundley Packers Jersey , Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott to have state government use part of the Texas Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF) to aid Houston's flood recovery, the mayor's office said Tuesday.


Using part of the fund which is more than 10 billion U.S. dollars "is appropriate for (the) response to a natural disaster such as Harvey that wreaked significant damage and caused local governments to incur unanticipated costs far beyond their budgets," the mayor said.


Turner added that without aid from the state fund, the city will be forced to increase its property tax rate on a temporary, emergency basis for 12 months to help pay its recovery bills.


The mayor is seeking City Council approval for an increase that would cost the owner of an average Houston dwelling 4.03 dollars per month for a year.


He said use of the fund is also appropriate to help fix the damage from the 27 trillion gallons of rain that fell on Texas from Hurricane Harvey.


Texans approved a constitutional amendment creating the ESF in 1988. Texas has the nation's largest ESF. Commonly called a "rainy day fund," it is a reserved amount of money to be used in times when regular income is disrupted or decreased in order for typical operations to continue.


Category four Hurricane Harvey blew ashore on Aug. 25 as the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in more than 50 years. The 500-year flood brought by Harvey killed dozens of people, displacing hundreds of thousands and damaging some 200,000 houses in a path of destruction that stretches for more than 480 km. The Houston area was hit by severe flooding, after receiving heavy rain.

HANGZHOU, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- A tech company in east China's Zhejiang Province has developed the software which can free parents from checking math assignments.


The app, "Love Homework," was developed by Hangzhou Dana technology company. By simply taking a photo, it can check arithmetic problems in one second, with over 95 percent accuracy.


The free app has gained widespread high praise from parents and teachers alike since its launch in early September, with more than 400,000 downloads in three weeks.


"I have never seen an app receiving such a warm, enthusiastic reception in my 20 years of career," said Luo Huan, co-founder of Dana.


The idea of the app came from Mao Lihui, who works at Dana. Father of a primary school student, Mao spent a lot of time and energy checking his kid's assignments every day.


"There are about 60 math questions a page, sometimes 100. I hate checking homework after a long day at work," Mao said.


"Some parents said they spent at least an hour checking these questions," said Chen Mingquan, another co-founder.


The Dana team analyzed the handwriting of Chinese children and trained the computers to recognize the figures even when the handwriting was careless, with overlapping corrections or on thin paper.


A mother surnamed Xu downloaded the app on the recommendation of other parents. "It saved me a lot of time and the accuracy was better than my own. Plus, my kid and I don't quarrel about the questions when we come up with different answers," she said. "I hope they come up with more, similar homework-checking apps."


Feng Dingying, a math teacher, said artificial intelligence can replace humans in repetitive work. "It allows educators and parents to put more effort in motivating the students," said Feng.
