原标题:瓦房店李官镇:坚决守住“北大门”本轮疫情突然来袭,瓦房店市李官镇迅速行动,按照全市统一部署,加强组织领导,投入大量人力物力,保障公路畅通,严格落实各项防控措施,全力做好交通卡口疫情防控工作,坚决守住城市“北大门”,持续巩固来之不易的抗疫成果。    What better way to figure out a mystery of the ancients than to try it out yourself? That’s what one sailing aficionado from Israel did when confronted with a puzzle from the Christian Bible.,David Gal, a doctoral student in the Department of Maritime Civilizations at the University of Haifa, says he has figured out why the Christian Apostle Paul sailed from Judea to Rome along the southern coast of Anatolia in 60 CE - a route that, to him, wasn’t the most obvious one, since most winds in the Mediterranean are westerlies and Paul was going west.,That year, Paul was sent to the imperial capital to answer to Jewish authorities for preaching the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed to have been the Jewish messiah. Most Jews did not accept Jesus’ teachings, and he was tried and executed by crucifixion for blasphemy and subversion in either 30 or 33 CE.,Paul’s journey is recounted in unusual detail in the New Testament book of Acts. The preacher zigzagged his way across the sea, swinging north of Cyprus before heading to the city of Myra (modern Demre) in southern Anatolia. From there, he went west past Rhodes, to Knidos, then south to the southern coast of Crete and west across the southernmost parts of the Ionian Sea. However, he was shipwrecked in Malta and his journey took much longer than anticipated.,“Until recently, we didn’t understand why the Alexandrian grain ship that Paul joined in southern Anatolia, bound for Rome, chose that particular route,” Gal told Haaretz.,The boat, Ma’agan Mikhael II, is a replica of a ship found in 1985 about 2 meters underneath the seabed off the coast of Kibbutz Ma’agan Mikhael in northern Israel, not far from Caesarea. In ancient times, the city was known as Caesarea Maritima or Caesarea Palestine, named after the Roman emperor Augustus Caesar. The replica boat was finished in 2016 and is just one of two ships in the world that simulates a merchant sailing vessel from Before the Common Era (BCE).,By coincidence, Caesarea also happens to be the port from which Paul left on his trip to Rome.,In part, Gal’s study was based on computer modeling, which combined vast amounts of weather data and conducted 5,479 virtual sailing trips along 224 different possible routes from Caesarea to Rome, for a total of 1.2 million virtual sailing trips. However, that wasn’t enough: Gal also took a crew of 10 volunteer sailors out in the Ma’agan Mikhael II to explore the intangible human element of the journey. With just one sail, the ship moves along at a brisk 3.9 miles per hour.,“Only when we sailed on Ma’agan Mikhael II did we understand the real limitations of the ship and the sailors,” Gal told Haaretz. “We found that in many sections of the coast, the breeze doesn’t support this type of movement.”,“They didn’t sail counter to the prevailing wind, but waited for days with a favorable wind in the opposite direction,” Gal concluded. “We found there were such days in a large meteorological sampling. Until now, scholars didn’t examine that but used low-resolution meteorological averages that erase the variance in the wind.”,Gal said he has taken the ship out more than 80 times, sailing as far as Cyprus, and found that the daily wind patterns, in which breezes can blow westward from the Levantine coast, have remained strong after 3,000 years. By navigating those patterns, ancient sailors could have crept up the coast until they found more favorable winds.,“We have data about its performance in all wind conditions and how various currents affect it, and that enables us to conduct a reliable simulation of sailing. With its help, we acquired insights into the way such a ship is operated; we had a better understanding of how four people can sail from Greece to here and back,” he said.。李官镇两个交通卡口每天来往车辆共2千余台,过往人员达2200余人,防控压力较大。

B | 李官镇全力做好交通卡口疫情防控工作,疫情期间始终保障公路畅通,做到促经济、保民生。全镇机关干部、驻村第一书记与医护人员、公安民警一道,每天至少30人在岗,从9月5日开始,他们始终保持高昂的工作热情,落实各项防控措施,坚决守住城市“北大门”。李官镇地处大连市最北端,是大连市连接外界的重要交通门户,多条国省干道穿境而过,是全市经济发展的交通主动脉,也是历次疫情发生以来的防疫最前沿,是全市“外防输入,内防外溢”的主要阵地。

C | 针对本轮疫情,李官镇按照市防疫指挥部的要求,再次在202国道李官卡口和滨海路李官卡口设立了疫情防控服务站,按照“外防输入,内防外溢”的工作总要求,对过往车辆进行查验,为来往司乘人员提供免费的核酸检测服务。早在今年3月发生疫情期间,李官镇全体机关干部就独立坚守两个卡口44天,为疫情防控做出了积极贡献,受到了上级和社会各界的一致好评。本轮疫情形势严峻,李官镇人大主席于学龙表示,为了能够保证全市人民身心健康,保证瓦房店的经济平稳有序发展,李官镇党委政府有决心向人民群众交一份满意的答卷,守好大连市的北大门请全市人民放心。
