A | （ECNS） -- A 4,285-meter canal carved into a karst cliff in southwest China’s Chongqing has become a social media sensation, attracting photographers and hikers to Qianjin village in Wulong district. Nearly 1,000 meters of the canal runs flush against a precipice hundreds of meters high, with spring water still trickling through its channels. Villagers began hacking the waterway out of solid rock in 1999 using chisels and hammers, completing it three years later to bring water and electricity to mountain communities. From lifeline to hiking destination As modern irrigation improved, the canal’s role faded, but its dramatic setting has turned it into a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. "The trickling sound of spring water runs on one side and a green canyon on the other. It was well worth the trip," said Liu Zhengchun, a hiking enthusiast from Chongqing, who came with friends after watching videos shared by bloggers on social media. He noted that the narrowest section of the canal is barely wide enough for one person to pass by bending forward, and that the chisel marks left by the builders remain clearly visible on the rock face. A waterfall near a hydropower station along the route has also become a highlight. Builder-turned-guardian Builder Li Wufeng, now in his 60s, continues to maintain the canal and volunteers as a safety monitor as visitor numbers grow. "In the past, I was basically the only person walking on the canal," Li said. "Now more and more young people come to explore, hike and take photos. On peak days, I can run into more than 200 visitors." Local government eyes tourism development As the site's popularity grows, authorities are paying increasing attention to outdoor safety and ecological protection. Local officials are planning a loop-shaped scenic area that integrates sightseeing, experiential activities and leisure, with supporting facilities including a parking structure, a visitor center, cliffside plank roads and a glass observation deck. The goal is to give the cliffside canal, once a hard-won lifeline for a mountain village, a renewed purpose in the era of cultural tourism. 
。北京时间1月12日上午，短信初创企业Hustle在2018年中期选举中与1300多个民主党竞选团队合作。然而，在选举后，该公司裁员35%。在最近专注于政界的科技初创企业中，争先恐后被认为是最大的成功案例之一。迄今为止，该公司已从全球汽车公司（GV）获得超过4000万美元的风险投资，包括社会资本（Social Capital）、Insight Venture Partners和Alphabet。
B | 公司面临的问题表明，将竞选活动作为主要商业来源的商业模式存在根本缺陷。Hustle首席执行官RoddyLindsay周四在博客上首次披露了裁员的消息。Hustle为活动、权利组织和营销人员开发工具，帮助他们向联系人列表发送定制信息。短信已经成为政治运动的一个重要方面，几乎每个主要的民主党机构都在努力，包括45个州的民主党立法竞选委员会、民主党全国委员会和民主党团体。林赛以前是Facebook工程师。他为马克扎克伯格的移民改革权利组织工作。
C | 2014年，美国和联合创办了Hustle。该公司与伯尼·桑德斯的总统竞选团队合作，并迅速扩大了其他民主党客户。该公司还与其他权利和商业组织合作，美国在线汽车公司Lyft是该公司最早的非政治客户。林赛说，他正在积极发展业务，以抵消中期选举后不可避免的政治收入下降。”我们必须走出去，与稳定的实体建立业务，这不会每两年消失一次，”他说。到去年年底，Hustle有30个商业客户。但在2018年，政治活动和组织占据了Hustle的大部分收入。Hustle的问题是对其他初创企业的警告。在2016年美国大选后涌现的一批新的政治科技公司中，力争上游是最好的。挪威信贷银行（DNC）首席技术官拉菲•克里科里安（RaffiKrikorian）表示，许多其他此类初创企业可能比匆忙更容易受到攻击。政治技术供应商在选举后正逐渐走向死亡，这是该行业的规范，因此许多投资者也会避开此类技术公司。然而，Hustle的投资者之一、高地实验室的合作伙伴Betsy Hoover表示，许多企业面临季节性增长和收缩。”许多行业都是周期性的，但他们做得很好。对于Hustle来说，2018年在财政和影响力方面都取得了巨大的成功。我完全相信到2020年他们会非常成功。
