While attempting to reach production targets for Amazon's devices, Foxconn has been found to violate labor laws. According to leaked documents seen by Guardian, the assembler is exploiting juvenile workers to make up for a shortfall in labor supply and save on costs.
Last year, China Labor Watch raised concerns against Foxconn and Amazon for mistreatment of workers in the Hengyang plant, which is located in China. It appears that instead of improving, conditions have actually deteriorated. Instead of raising the already low wages, they were reduced by 16 percent this year by Foxconn. As a result, the company has been unable to attract enough full-time workers to work on its 58 assembly lines during the peak production period which starts in July. The factory assembles Echo, Echo Dot, and Kindle.
To ensure it has sufficient labor, the company has hired under-aged workers from vocational schools. Moreover, Foxconn also presumably thought that it will be a good idea to make up for a 33 percent decline in business brought on by tariffs imposed by the U.S. by hiring temporary workers. Additionally, the company also sought to do some cost savings by slashing overtime and base pay rates and ending hiring bonus and living subsidy.
In China, it is permissible for factories to hire workers who are 16 years of age or older, but they cannot be made to work overtime. However, Foxconn has apparently been paying no heeds to the law, forcing students to do overtime and nightshifts. China Labor Watch has found that interns, as these students are called, make up more than 20 percent of the facility's total workforce, which is twice what's permitted by the government.
Students are reportedly baited in with normal working hours, and then they are asked to clock in more hours. If they refuse, they are sometimes abused physically and verbally by the teachers who are in charge of their work. They are also threatened that noncompliance will hurt their graduation. It has also been found that around 375 workers had been told to work overtime on Sundays, without a compensatory holiday. This again violates the law, which mandates at least one day off a week.
Foxconn has said that it has been notified about labor law violations at its Hengyang facility. As a result, the plant's chief and head of human resources have been dismissed. The managers responsible have also been reprimanded. Furthermore, the company says that it will not hire more interns than the law permits from now on and also ensure that they don't work overtime or night shifts. Moreover, the company plans to hire more full-time staff moving forward.
At the same time, the company says that hiring students is a part of its internship program and it gives students who are of legal working age experience and on-the-job training that will help them find a job after graduation. After the recent backlash, the monitoring of the internship program will be doubled, per the company.
Amazon has said that it's addressing the issue with Foxconn to ensure compliance from now on. The company has sent its investigators to the facility and also plans to the weekly audits of the issue. The e-commerce giant says that it is not tolerant of violations of code of conduct by suppliers and take corrective actions if that happens.

text: 5 Things to Do Before the Moving Truck Arrives06/27/2019By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group You have decided on the right moving company in Colorado Springs, packed your whole life into cartons, scheduled your dates with the professional movers, organized your journey, packed up your travel bag, and have a new residence all prepared and ready at your destination. After all that energy to get everything geared up... finally it's moving day. And, if you have done your job right, you may well find yourself sitting on the front step expecting the moving van pondering... what now? Having a couple of hours to yourself on moving day can appear enjoyable, tiring, exciting, or dubious. Everyone responds differently, but the truth is you do not have to just sit on your hands waiting for the moving van to arrive. Instead, it is possible to follow a helpful checklist that will make certain you truly are bowing out with every duck in a row. Here are five great tasks to complete while waiting for the professional movers in Colorado Springs to get there. Last Cabinet Check Complete a final walk through your residence and perform a last examination of each space, closet, cupboard, and upper shelf. Be sure you are not forgetting something or leaving behind a carton within a closed room in your home where the movers won't locate it. It could be helpful to have one final half-full box open to grab the odd mitten, earring, or kitchen towel that you may scrounge up in the far reaches of the cabinetry on your last check. This is the optimal time to additionally get a glance at each bathroom. Ensure there is toilet paper, a hand towel, and hand soap in every one. This is not merely helpful for you and the movers on moving day, it is additionally a considerate real estate method to depart a home: bathroom-ready. Clear Room for the Movers Following, consider the place that the moving truck will park. You will need a long area, most certainly curbside, with the rear end (or side) of the moving truck pointing in the direction of your residence however that is possible, if you live in a parking-space regulated community, you may need to book a row of individual spaces for the moving truck on the big day. After that consider where your professional movers are going to be travelling and make preparations for a sizable path for them to safely use. You can place down planks if there is mud, although most professional moving companies will lay down floor runners to keep your flooring surfaces spotless. You should also clear away any barriers out of the way to speed up the move and get rid of falling hazards. Explore the Contract & Dispose of Unmovables While awaiting the moving truck in Colorado Springs, take the time to peruse your moving agreement and documents. You'll find regularly fascinating details and observations into the moving industry by merely browsing the documents that the moving company in Colorado Springs sent you. The contract will likely list certain things that the movers are unable to move, usually legally. These include anything living which includes plants, anything that may possibly explode, or anything that will rot in the truck. If you have fish, household pets, hazardous materials, or house plants then make plans to bring them with you instead of relocating them within the truck. If you have any queries about what can and can't move on the moving truck, give your moving coordinator a call. He or she would be pleased to reply to any inquiries you may have. Fill the Fridge with Sodas and Water After that, take the opportunity to load your refrigerator with refreshments. The refrigerator has already been emptied which suggests there will be more than enough room for cases of soft drinks and water and possibly even goodies for the crew. The bigger your move, the more valued refreshments will be. Especially if you, similar to most, move in the warmer months. Offering snacks for the moving crew is absolutely not obligatory, but we promise you that it will be well received and appreciated. Load Your Car Lastly, be sure that your personal vehicle is loaded and ready to move. Chances are, once the professional movers have left and you have cleaned the place one final time, you'll be exiting once and for all. The best way to make sure you do not forget something is usually to carry out the comprehensive examination beforehand. Check your gasoline and oil levels. Review your overnight bag and ensure any plants and pets are prepared to leave when it's time. --- Once you've taken care of everything, waiting for the moving truck will feel like a sizeable stretch of unfilled time. However with this list, you will have your time proficiently utilized so that the house is picture-perfect when the professional movers arrive.

Advertising Online
Ok, so you're new to marketing online, and you need to find out what resources are the best for advertising.
7 Easy Ways to Increase Your Online SalesHere are some of the most effective ways to increase your sales by at least 200%. They are applied in my businesses and I believe that they will be useful for you.
Learn to Create an Online Form
If you have a website, adding a simple online form to your site, such as a feedback form, contact form, or other online form, can be a tough task. Most programming novices create their first website using pre-developed templates and have no advanced knowledge of HTML programming. As a result, creating a simple form that can email the responses from the form to the webmaster can be a difficult and frustrating task.
If you just posted a new website, but you do not have a web form uploaded and you need to quickly provide a way for your visitors to contact you, then you should simply post your email address on your Contact page. However, if you want to create a sophisticated online form to collect information from your visitors and respond to their questions, you need to know something about HTML and another programming language called PHP. Installing the online form on your website is the easy part. If you are not familiar with how to create the code for a form, there are many different online tutorials that can teach you how to create the code. After that, you will need to create a file that will process your form after someone fills it out and send the answers to you via email. The code used to process a HTML form is often referred to as Formmail.
Formmail is written in a programming language called PHP, which is more advanced than HTML. There are many websites where you can download the Formmail file for free. Formmail has been used to process and email the results of web forms since 1997.
When you download Formmail, make sure it has code that prevents spam from being sent through your HTML form. There are many different versions of Formmail floating around the internet, and some have built-in spam protection while others do not. Many times, inexperienced programmers will put an online form on their website that does not include code to at least try to prevent spammers from utilizing the form to send spam to hundreds or even thousands of people. As a result, those who have been spammed complain to their internet service provider, who then directs the complaint to the hosting company that handles your website.
This can be a huge problem. If you do not have the patience to create your web form yourself, there are more than a few form creation services on the internet that provide a simple way for you to create a form without doing any programming. These third-party form creators usually do not provide you with the PHP code you need to process the form. Instead, they process it for you on their own servers. If you are comfortable with programming, you might want to try to create your online form yourself with the help of some online tutorials.
If you do not have the patience to do the work, use an outside service that creates the form for you. Either way, it is important to have an HTML form so that people can contact you directly through your website.
Jim Pretin is the owner of http://www.forms4free.com, a service that helps programmers create a free web form with the code to email the web form responses.

In 2015, U.S. Soccer launched Recognize to Recover, a program aimed to reduce injuries and promote safe play, and included new guidelines regarding concussions considering the latest science on head injuries. The site now provides resources and guidelines on a wide variety issues, including guidelines for environmental conditions (heat and cold weather), nutrition and hydration, injury prevention and recovery.
"My philosophy as Chief Medical Officer is that it's important for us, with Recognize to Recover, to tackle all aspects and make information readily available for our sport," said Dr. George Chiampas. "Depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder -- those are areas that we want our coaches, our players and our parents across the country to have a resource to turn to."
The Recognize to Recover Mental Health Resources for Athletes includes information "on what are mental health issues/disorders," common mental health disorders in athletes, events that can trigger mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, suicide, how to have conversations about mental health issues, and the role of individuals involved in identifying mental health issues in athletes.
What should a coach do if he suspects a player may have mental health issues?
GEORGE CHIAMPAS: If the coach is concerned about a player's mental state and notices red flags, the first thing, in a non-threatening way, without accusing them of having a mental health disorder, is to try to start a conversation and say, "Hey, are you OK? What's going on? ... I noticed that you seemed a little withdrawn at practice."
You can say, "It's normal to feel this way." And it may be as simple as, "I had a bad day in school." But it may go deeper than that -- if someone's feeling like this for over-extended periods where it's consuming their life. If they can't come out of this dark, dark place -- that's when we need to support that young athlete.
If a coach sees a theme of that -- in many cases the player is a minor -- a coach should should speak to kids' parents and just say, "I recognize that he or she is down. I just want to make sure that the kid is safe." And if there's something that collectively we need to do, we should do it for the benefit of that kid. I think that's the appropriate pathway. If you do that in a genuine way and point to the athlete and the kid's safety being at the core, no one would question that approach.
What kind of mistakes do you think coaches may make with those who are challenged with mental health issues?
GEORGE CHIAMPAS: The No. 1 thing is, we shouldn't isolate kids. I think the easy pathway as a coach is to not deal with it. And I'm sure you've seen it where coaches deem those players "problem kids." What ends up happening sometimes is that those kids may feel isolated. Those kids may feel different, rather than coaches recognizing that there are individual variances.
One kid may have an extremely great quality in one area and another kid may have a weakness in that. I think the coaches' responsibilities and the clubs' responsibilities are to foster kids' strengths. And in areas where they need support resources, make sure that they build programing for those sort of things. If we don't foster or support the kids with those individual variances, it's a failure on all of us.
It's not OK to just say, the kid isn't strong enough mentally. That's something that historically has been done. And that's not OK. We can't be comfortable with that approach moving forward.
Chiampas recommends that clubs send the Recognize to Recover link out to all parents before each season.
Parents, players and coaches are seeking that advice. I think as a club, as a coach, you want to establish a culture and environment of a family. I don't think there's enough of that kind of environment. We want to build healthy and safe environments. This content from Recognize to Recover, the Mental Health section and all the other ones, really identify the core of what's important in our sport. I hope that leagues and clubs really, really use that and develop a culture of safety, and a growth mindset.

What's the problem with playing 4K DCPs on 2K projectors?
Here at theDCPmaster.com we work with a lot of indie films and independent filmmakers. We're seeing a big increase lately in 4K masters, even on low-budget films. That means we're having a lot of discussions about the differences between 4K and 2K DCPs.
We've written about resolution before – particularly why you don't need to "blow up" a 2K DCP. But we also mention in that article that when you play a 4K DCP on a 2K projector it can be lower quality than a normal 2K DCP. Some filmmakers wanted more information about that, so we figured it was worth a full answer.
Bitrate vs Resolution
It all comes down to the relationship between bitrate and resolution. Bitrate is the amount of bits (data) that can be processed per unit of time. It's how much information is given. Resolution refers only to the dimensions of an image. Many people think more resolution guarantees a higher quality, but this isn't always true. The two pictures of the dogs at the top of this post are about the same size (resolution), but one clearly has more detail than the other.
An explanation I often use is to think about bitrate like "number of words". The more words you can use to describe when writing about something, the more detail you can provide:
Resolution, on the other hand, is like the size of the sheet of paper you can write on. It gives you more space to write, but that only matters if you can use enough words to fill it. Many words on a small sheet of paper will still be a more detailed description than a few words on a big sheet of paper:
So to judge "quality" you need to look at resolution and bitrate together.
Bitrate limits of DCP's
Most Digital Cinema Packages have a bitrate limit of 250 Mb/s (mega bits per second). It doesn't matter if a DCP is 4K or 2K. 250 Mb/s is the most that theatre servers and projectors can process (our article on DCP file size talks about the few exceptions).
So let's assume we have a 4K and 2K DCP of the same films at "the highest possible bitrate" – so they are both at 250Mb/s:
2K Projectors can play back 4K DCPs they just ignore parts of each image that they can't project. There's no rescaling or averaging, some of the information is just ignored, something like this:
Please note the graph isn't necessarily accurate in terms of how *much* information may be discarded, it's going to be completely dependant on the individual frames, and encoder(s) used – but *some* amount of information above the 2K "core image" is going to be thrown out. If a 4K frame is encoded utilizing the entire maximum available bitrate, the 2K image preserved in a 4K feature file is going to be at a lower bitrate than it would be if the film was encoded at 2K.
So given same target bitrates, a 4K feature played on a 2K projector could have quality loss over a 2K DCP encoded at the same bitrate.
How much does this bitrate decrease affect a film?
If this is likely to be the case, or how much a theoretical decrease changes "overall quality" will vary on a film by film basis (and may be a non issue). In practice films are never recorded at maximum bitrate for their whole duration. DCPs use advanced compression so that each shot of a film only uses as much data as it needs until the change in "quality" is not perceptible (or master compression may happen during the post-production work-flow which makes high bitrates unnecessary).
But because 2K projectors are still the vast majority of all cinema screens worldwide, many filmmakers and distributors with 4K masters choose to make separate 4K and 2K DCPs. They can even both be put on the same drive, so each theatre can choose the version best suited to their particular venue. Other filmmakers are happy only making one version of the DCP (either 4K or 2K) to limit costs and depending on their particular specific film or exhibition plans.
Helping guide filmmakers through the options for their DCP resolutions is only one way a good DCP facility can help make sure films look their best on the big screen. If you think the team at theDCPmaster.com can help you – don't hesitate to get in touch!'

Aston Martin 'encouraged' by new F1 engine plans
Aston Martin has stated it's 'encouraged' by the 2021 engine plans released by Formula 1 earlier this week.
On Tuesday, teams met with, the commercial rights holder, and prospective manufacturers, which included Aston Martin, in Paris where a revised set of engine regulations were outlined, which are set to be adopted from the 2021 season.
Following the meeting, Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer admitted he is "encouraged" by the direction the sport is taking.
Aston has recruited staff with F1 experience, including personnel from Ferrari, as it evaluates entering the championship as an engine supplier.
"Aston Martin attended the recent FIA meeting and has been deeply involved through its submissions on potential solutions," said Palmer in a statement to Autosport.
"We are encouraged by the directions being taken and continue to study a potential Aston Martin solution for 2021.
"The key will be how development costs are controlled to make participation by independent engine suppliers a viable possibility."
Work on the details of the new rules will continue for another 12 months, with the overall framework for the 2021 specification expected to be in place by the end of this year.
The proposal put forward by F1 and the FIA includes keeping the current 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid engine, but running it at 3000rpm high "to improve the sound".
Aston has played an active role in the engine discussions, submitting a document to the FIA outlining its vision of how the new engine formula could shape up earlier this year.
The British carmaker has experience working with other brands interested in building an independent engine, having worked with Cosworth and Ricardo on the Valkyrie hypercar.
It has also taken on Ferrari engine chief Luca Marmorini as a consultant.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has stated that his team would be "absolutely open" to running an Aston Martin F1 engine in the future.

A Guide to Cara Delevingne's Tattoos
It's safe to say Cara Delevingne has made a name for herself as a multi-hyphenate over the years, honing titles like supermodel, actress, street style star, and all-around advocate for girls. All that, plus her goofy personality and passion for social good make her beloved by just about everyone. When it comes to beauty, though, Cara is known for a few things: her next-level brow game (obviously), her infectious green eyes, and of course, her affinity for body ink. In terms of the latter, well, it only takes a quick perusal of her Instagram to see how ink-obsessed she's been since 2013 when she had an intricate image of a lion tattooed on her index finger. Since then she's racked up over 20 tats (well, as far as we know — you never know with celebs and their hidden ink!), and because we're nothing if not documenters, we decided to round them up right here. So whether you're looking for some ink inspo in your own life, or you're just nosy like us, click through to see every single one of miss Cara D's tattoos. Warning: the slideshow ahead will make you v. tempted to get tatted.

Geology Field Trips
At ATU, we like to give our students a good exposure to geology where it starts: in the field. For this reason, nearly every course has at least one associated field trip, and some courses have many more. Our location in "the Natural State" provides a rich opportunity to see many geologic features that many students must visit only through photos and written description. In addition, we take other trips during semester breaks to be able to reach features not present in Arkansas.
Regional geology:
Arkansas Geological Survey (geology.ar.gov) - General Geology of Arkansas
Arkansas River Valley, where the campus is located:
-Arkoma foreland basin (gas-rich)
-Bituminous through semi-anthracite coal deposits
Boston Mountains and Ozarks to the north:
-Paleozoic carbonate shelf rocks
-Marine invertebrate fossils from Ordovician through Pennsylvanian Age
-Zinc and lead sulfide deposits, world class dolomite crystals
Ouachita Mountains to the south:
-Fold and thrust belt structures
-The world class Magnet Cove alkaline igneous intrusive complex
-Paleozoic deep-water facies sedimentary rocks
-Quartz crystal capital of the US, and other collectibles
In the nearby Coastal Plain and Mississippi embayment to the south and east:
-Cretaceous, Tertiary, and Pleistocene unconsolidated sediments
-Cretaceous Prairie Creek diamond pipe (Crater of Diamonds State Park)
-Dinosaur footprints and skeletal fossils

Avora recognized as the 'Community of the Year'
Avora is a national success story. The new luxury condominium building rising on the Weehawken waterfront facing midtown Manhattan was named "National Community of the Year" at The Nationals 2018 in Orlando, FL.
The accolades for the 11-story, 184-unit building did not end there. Avora also received an impressive six Silver Awards at the gala event. The Nationals is sponsored annually by the National Association of Homebuilder's (NAHB) National Sales & Marketing Council to honor the year's most outstanding work in residential real estate sales, marketing and design.
The prestigious honors follow Avora's 2017 recognition as "Community of the Year" by the New Jersey Builder's Association, making it one of the most highly-acclaimed residential developments in the country.
"We're honored and delighted to have Avora recognized on a national level," said Gabe Pasquale, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Landsea Homes, which is developing Avora on the banks of the Hudson River with unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline. "To be singled out among the very best new developments throughout the country is a testament to the vision and execution of our talented team of architects, designers, and marketing and sales professionals who are committed to delivering an exceptional lifestyle experience to our homebuyers."
The award-winning night also reflects Landsea Homes' focus on developing iconic projects that embody cutting-edge design, forward-thinking amenities and sustainable building practices in prominent gateway cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and New York.
At Avora, the developer has introduced a new level of urban sophistication to the area's luxury condominium market, blending contemporary style and an incomparable waterfront setting with an unparalleled level of amenities, services and convenience. Discerning buyers from both sides of the Hudson River have responded, snapping up the residential collection's entire first phase of homes and a number of residences in the second phase in quick fashion.
Ideally located just steps from the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal, providing an ultra-convenient 8-minute commute into Manhattan, Avora's premium one-, two- and three-bedroom residences – as well as a limited offering of duplex Penthouses – are priced from the $800,000s to more than $4 million. Initial occupancy is scheduled for spring, 2018.
Dramatic finishes and appointments include nine-foot ceiling heights, chef's kitchens with stainless-steel appliances, and designer spa bathrooms with Caeserstone countertops, European-imported stone finishes and limestone baths. Many residences offer balconies and terraces with majestic, unimpeded New York City views.
Residents will have access to a full suite of lifestyle amenities at Avora, including an impressive lobby with concierge, private screening theater, business center, elegant boardroom, a grand salon lounge with a bar and catering kitchen, on-site pet grooming, and a state-of-the-art strength and cardio fitness center. A third-floor landscaped outdoor plaza features a pool, spacious sun deck, lounges, grilling areas and a fire pit – all set against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Avora will also feature a secure parking garage, bicycle storage and resident storage.
Located in the heart of the Port Imperial community that stretches two miles of Hudson River waterfront, Avora is ideally situated for commuters. The building is within walking distance of the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal, which offers service to both midtown and downtown Manhattan. Hudson-Bergen Light Rail service to neighboring Hoboken, Jersey City, the PATH system and NJ Transit's Hoboken Terminal is just steps away.
Port Imperial also features a waterfront walkway system and numerous parks just outside residents' front door, and the nearby Shops at Riverwalk offers a dynamic and animated riverfront destination with dining and shopping options.
For more information on Avora, visit www.AvoraLiving.com, or call 201-499-1496. The Sales Gallery is open, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week and is located at 500 Avenue at Port Imperial, Weehawken, NJ.

One of the worst mistakes I made as a first year teacher (whew! that bring back any memories for you?!) is only thinking about classroom management in terms of classroom rules and consequences.
Let's just say I learned quickly that I needed an actual classroom management philosophy and classroom management plan that still included rules and consequences, but other areas as well!
After five years in the classroom, I decided to deeply reflect on my classroom management practices and figure out what I wanted my philosophy to be!
My end result? Six categories related to classroom management.
1. Core Classroom Rules & Consequences
How can a classroom be properly managed without rules and consequences?!
Be careful though. You don't want to have too many rules, and you don't want to have rules that are wordy and long. This will make it hard for the students to remember.
A great rule of thumb is to have 5 or less CORE classroom rules. Now this may change based on your content area, but just remember to keep it simple!
Same with the consequences. Have at most 5 and make sure they are precise and easy to understand! More importantly, make sure you are consistent in enforcing both your rules and consequence and that you are tracking and recording incidents and parent contact!
2. Classroom Procedures & Systems
I firmly believe this is the most comprehensive area! Why? Well let's consider the following:
- Entering the Room Procedures
What do you expect students to immediately do when they enter the classroom?
- During the Class Procedures
Things like getting out of seat, electronic devices, getting their attention, students getting your attention, getting supplies, no name papers, etc.
- Leaving the room Procedures
What will be your procedure for students asking to use the bathroom? What system will you have in place for students to leave the room and coming back?
- End of Class Procedures
Things like collecting papers, turning in papers, staying seated etc.
Depending on your content area, there are even more things you would have to consider!
For your class to run as smooth as possible, it is key that you have all of your procedures and systems mapped out and that they make sense and are easy for the students to follow!
3. Classroom & Teacher Organization
Disorganization is one of the quickest ways to sabotage classroom management. It is vital that BOTH the classroom and the teacher are organized!
When your classroom is organized, where things such as stations for supplies, sign-in and out sheets for leaving the room, book storage, and no-name papers, or even bins for graded work, turning in papers, and storing portfolios or picking up handouts, have their own designated spot, it can go a long way in supporting your rules, procedures and systems!
In conjunction with this, you also want to make sure you remain organized as well!
You need systems for yourself to make sure that you are on top of grades, storage for graded work, replying to e-mails, keeping track of parent contact or behavioral incidents, teacher reports, meetings, conferences… and a whole lot more!
Don't forget to keep an organized desk as well!
4. Student Engagement & Rapport
In some ways I believe this category might be the most important because by focusing on engagement and rapport you are empowering your students. You are actively creating lessons that are interesting, thought provoking, informative, have an impact and are relatable. They will not only be engaged in the lesson, but also with you!
This goes a long way with building rapport in addition to treating the students with respect and showing them that you genuinely care about the exceeding. Empower your students and the management issues will dissipate.
5. Teacher Self-Care
You have to remember to take care of yourself! Teaching can be very stressful! You have to remember that if you are not at your best, it can impact your classroom!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, or like you need a break and can't push it off anymore, TAKE A MENTAL HEALTH DAY! This is vital!
Students can tell when we are off. This can impact the consistency of enforcing your rules, consequences and procedures without you even realizing it!
6. Consistency
Consistency. Is. Key.
Being consistent in enforcing your core classroom rules, consequences, procedures and policies is a MUST! The more inconsistent you are, the less students will follow your rules.
This increases the likelihood that there will be behavior problems in your classroom.
Procedures are the oil that keeps that classroom machine running!
Without it, your students won't know the expectations for entering the class, being in the class, leaving the room and ending the class.
Final Thoughts
Classroom Management encompasses many different areas. It is important to consider them all when trying to establish your classroom climate.
As you sit to plan out your classroom management, it may seem overwhelming. That's why I created this awesome Core Classroom Management Plan for Secondary Teachers.
This comprehensive resource contains:
- A 30-page Classroom Management Plan!
- Classroom Routines and Procedures Checklist!
- 40 Essential Classroom Management Questions you NEED to have the answers to!
- How to Create a Personalized Classroom Management Plan in 5 Simple Steps!
I want you to ask yourself two very important questions:
- How will your classroom change by having comprehensive classroom management plan in place?
- Why spend hours trying to create your own management plan when you can use mine and adapt it to your own classroom?!
I have already made a classroom management plan that is ready for YOU!

In early 2015, he teamed up with Grammy Winning producer Jim "Moose" Brown to record his first full-length album of original material. The album, "15 Years in a 10 Year Town," will include eight self-penned songs along with the Ed Bruce classic, "Old Wore Out Cowboys," a collaboration with Willie Nelson and Jamey Johnson.

On top of having his own solo career, in 2009, Ward, along with friends Rick Huckaby & Matt Nolen, formed the alt-country band, The Beagles in Nashville. Since then they have written and recorded two studio albums – "Meet the Beagles" in 2010 & "Mucho Dos Grande," in 2012.

About 300 GW students took to the streets of D.C. to participate in the Fannie Mae Foundation's 13th Annual Help the Homeless 5K Walkathon Saturday morning.
Event organizers said the walk had a record attendance of 40,000, and raised $5.5 million for 204 homeless service providers in the area.
Not only did we make a difference raising funds but we all benefited from it as well, said Wendy Conti, a presidential administrative fellow who works at the GW Office of Community Service. People see the homeless and turn their heads. It was impressive to see all those (walkers) with their heads up doing the right thing.
Conti said GW students raised about $10,000.
A mix of GW student organizations marched together under a banner that read GW Walks for the Homeless. Campus groups included the GW College Democrats, Habitat for Humanity, the Neighbors Project and several sororities.
Clad in blue long-sleeve shirts with yellow lettering that read Help the Homeless Walk 2000, the sea of walkers moved slowly up Constitution Avenue passing the Capitol and traveled as far as the Pentagon before returning downtown.
Walkers donated a minimum of $10 to participate in the event. Average GW donations ranged from $25 to $30, Conti said.
Freshman Margi Bowen said she participated in the event with four students from her business class to fulfill a community service requirement for the School of Business and Public Management.
Sophomore Brian Miller, who works for Miriam's Kitchen, one of the organizations that benefited from event proceeds, said the walk raised awareness about an important D.C. issue.
We're all doing something productive for the homeless, he said.
Miller said he hopes the walk will encourage more people to volunteer with service organizations like Miriam's Kitchen.
Local university students deserve credit for the walk's success, said Esther Rege, a spokeswoman for the Fannie Mae Foundation.
The sheer volume of university students who participated and a pledge to match funds for walkers under 25 through the Fannie Mae Foundation made university students a key element to the walk's success, she said.
More than a fifth of District residents live in poverty, according to Fannie Mae's Web site. Over the course of a year about 15,000 people in the D.C. area will experience homelessness, according to the site.
Lindsey Ganter, a freshman and a volunteer at Martha's Table – one of the providers that benefited from the walk – said she was impressed with the high level of GW participation.
Ganter and two of her roommates walked together.
Hopefully through the walk there can be more effective programs to address homelessness – programs that care about the homeless, she said.

Flash in the Pan: Sautéed Greens with Onions and Apples
January 12, 2009
DIET, DESSERT AND DOGS HAS MOVED! Please visit the shiny new home of DDD by clicking here.
[Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I've decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here's today's "Flash in the Pan." (For other FitP recipes, see "Categories" at right).]
[With Collards, Chard and Red Onion]
It's been a truly crazy past week, what with our new semester starting up today at the college and my cookbook deadline being perilously close.* (And let's not forget the Golden Globes from last evening–didn't B & A look marvelous amidst the hubub and Moet & Chandon? And did you hear that Tracy Morgan is the new face of the US? But Mamma Mia, that Ms. Streep is timeless! ) With all that, there's been no time for handiwork in the kitchen.
Instead, here's what I've been eating lately–and by "lately," I mean pretty much every day. I've made this three times in the past six days: it's quick, it's easy, it's delicious and it contains nature's most nutritious vegetables, leafy greens. And with all the deep browns, ochres, ambers and ecrus I've been consuming over the past few weeks, I figured it was time for some green.
[With Collards and Yellow Onion]
Besides, I adore leafy greens and have been trying to include them in my diet more often. Jagged, zippy dandelion greens are like the tough kid in the schoolyard, the punk who wears his black leather jacket like a trophy and loiters in the corner of the schoolyard chain-smoking. With a hard and bitter exterior, he's really a sweetheart once you get to know him. Collards, with their elegant, frond-like shape, are the modern jazz dancers of the group, deftly swaying side to side as they harmoniously meld the delicate and the cacophonous. And kale, my very favorite, is the ditzy neighbour, the plucky, perky best friend, the Mary Richards of leafy greens; she fidgets and bobs and sighs histrionically, clad in her ruffly collar and matching cuffs–she's a little wacky, maybe, but always honest and reliable. How could you not love greens?
This dish was created when I had intended to try out a recipe for brussels sprouts and apples I read about on Vegalicious a while back. When I discovered I had no sprouts, I opted for the greens instead (heck, they're all brassicas, right?). Using the other recipe for inspiration, I threw this together. It was ready in ten minutes, and I was left to marvel that something so simple could taste so good.
The barely-wilted greens are chewy and toothsome, while the apples and onions, having softened and caramelized slightly, provide a balancing sweetness to the slightly bitter leaves. The addition of lemon juice here, besides imparting an appealing tang, renders the minerals in the vegetables more bio-available (and thereby more easily absorbed) so you can best benefit from their high mineral content.
* As to the cookbook, right now, it looks as if the publication date will be mid-April; I'll report back as soon as I'm given a "firm" date from the publisher. What this means, however, is that my blogging may become slightly more sporadic over the next few weeks, as will my commenting on other blogs. But know that I'll keep reading and enjoying all of your blogs even if I don't make my presence known. And I do hope that you will still comment here–I always look forward to, and read, every single comment on this site–it is truly a high point in my day!

Flash in the Pan: Baked Beans Nested on Greens
October 30, 2008
I've decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here's today's "Flash in the Pan."]
[Oh, and before I continue: notice the photo? Notice anything different? Um, like, actual detail on the food? Well, this here is my very first shot with my new, stunningly beautiful, too-complex-for-my-current-level-of-knowledge, can't-believe-how-heavy-this-thing-is, smashing and awesome and really, you shouldn't have but I LOVE IT camera! It was my birthday gift from The HH last week, and I am thrilled to bits with it! (I can't wait to actually learn how to use it.) 😉 For now, I'm still learning, so please excuse the awkward and unretouched photos that may appear here for a while. . . but wow, just look at those beans!!]
My friend The Architect married his highschool sweetheart this past weekend. Well, not literally. You see, they didn't actually know each other in high school. However, she teaches high school, and she's also his sweetheart; so, close enough. As both of them are extremely involved in environmental issues and preserving the local habitat, the wedding was an elegant event in a bucolic setting just north of where we live. And, true to form, the ceremony was outdoors, amid the towering maples and the burbling streams and the chattering squirrels. Oh, and the pelting rain and the occasional snowflake and the sodden leaves being torn from the trees and whipping across our faces path. Because, you see, it was late October. In CANADA. (Let's just say, I wore earmuffs to the ceremony).*
Still, it was a joyful, enjoyable affair and the HH and I ate, drank, and danced like it was 1999. After so much weekend revelry, I decided I wanted something simple for dinner yesterday.
Now, it's possible I've mentioned before that I am basically a lazy cook. Extremely lazy. And, as I (now) do with chickpeas for the occasional mock tuna salad, I also tend to keep cans of baked beans on hand for those occasional evenings when I crave their sweet, soft, quick and filling nourishment.
I didn't even realize there existed specifically vegan baked beans until I was an undergrad in university, when I first lived (and cooked) on my own. Because my mother was an unacknowledged vegetarian herself, the only kind of baked beans she ever used were the "in tomato sauce" flavor (naturally vegan). In university, however, my room mate was the grocery shopper. One week, I requested canned baked beans, and she brought home the bacon beans. I opened the can in anticipation of my usual leguminous fulfillment. What I encountered, instead, was a single cube of pasty, greyish-white, gelatinous pork fat. At first, I couldn't imagine what it was, but then I read the label and. . . wow, you wouldn't believe how those saucy beans stick to the inside of the garbage can.
I love to eat baked beans just as they are, with a plump spelt bagel torn into pieces that I use to sop up the sauce. The Nurse doctors hers up with kethcup, mustard, maple syrup, corn kernels (!) and hot dogs (blech); the CFO makes hers from scratch (also vegan, but that's just a coincidence). Lately, I've been trying to eat greens every day, so I thought about combining the beans with something dark and leafy. As it happened, my mind was already on steamed greens since I read about kale boiled in stock on Orangette (but 30 minutes? Molly, is that really necessary?) and Sally's latest post on Beans and Greens. I figured, why not use up some chard I had in the house? Molly served her kale with eggs; and don't those beans have a naturally ovoid shape? It was meant to be(an).
You won't believe how easy this dish is. I loved the textural contrast of the beans' exterior firmness and slightly creamy interior, set against the soft yet springy chard; the sweet-smoky bean sauce and the astringent bitterness of the greens, in every bite. Of course, you could also simply toss the two ingredients together, but those beans look so much more jewel-like when nestled sweetly inside the wreath of chard, don't you think? A perfect way to follow up that weekend of celebrations.
I'll be away visiting the CFO this weekend, so I'm going to miss all the Halloween fun! However, thanks to the magic of WordPress, I do have a Halloween-inspired post for y'all over the weekend.
Have fun Trick or Treating, everyone!
Baked Beans Nested on Greens
1 large bunch of your favorite leafy greens, washed, trimmed, sliced thin (chop and use stems if possible)
about 1/2 cup vegetable stock, any type
1 can of your favorite baked beans (or homemade if you have them), heated through
Heat the broth in a nonstick frypan or dutch oven over medium heat. Place the stips of greens over the liquid, press down to cover as much as possible, and cover the pan or pot. Reduce heat to low, and cook the greens until just wilted, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the beans according to the directions on the can. Arrange the greens in a wreath on a plate, and gently spoon the hot beans in the center for a nested effect. Eat. Makes 2 servings. (Quick. Easy. Tasty. So simple, a little birdy could almost make it.)
"Mum, the beans look okay, but if that little birdy isn't doing anything else, you know we'd be happy to, um, dispose of it for you. . . "
* Let's also just say, I want to move to California. Or New South Wales. Or the Bahamas. But no, I'm stuck here, where I wore earmuffs, on October 26th. The older I get, the more I realize: comfort trumps fashion, every time. And–why, yes, I do believe this marks the official launch of my "the weather is too cold I hate it I have to move away from here somebody save me" winter weather whingeing. And–lucky you!–it continues unabated, for the next 6 months!

[I've decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here's today's "Flash in the Pan."]
[Non-salsa version]
Oooh. . . I'm feeling the crunch. I wish I could say that's the "crunch" of a lovely rice crisp-filled chocolate bar or the crunch of ice in a gin and tonic as I lounge by a pool, or even the crunch of my feet as they traverse a lovely woodsy trail with The Girls, but no; the crunch I am experiencing is the crunch of marking as the semester nears its end. And now that we've reached this critical juncture in the term, I'm afraid I won't be able to post as often as I'd like, at least for a couple of weeks.
I did discover that I've got quite a few photos from previous cooking adventures, however, patiently waiting for posts, so I'll try to clear out some old files over the next while as I simultaneously clear out that pile of marking.
First up is a recipe I remembered while reading Katy's post yesterday, about her first-ever tofu scramble. I realized I've got no fewer than 4 potential posts about various tofu dishes, as the quintessential bean is a regular in our household and I'm always trying out different recipes in a quest for variety and novelty. I'll start you off with this super-easy Flash in the Pan recipe before moving on to other favorite scrambles in the next week or two.
Like so many of you, I am a big fan of Veganomicon. One recipe in particular calls to me over and over, sort of like Casablanca or It's A Wonderful Life: no matter how many times I sample Isa and Terry's Caesar salad, I'm always excited to see it again. In fact, I do believe I've never tasted a Caesar dressing quite as good as that one, vegan or otherwise. ("We're pretty fond of it, too, Mum. We just love that high-protein, high-fat combination of tofu and ground almonds!")
Just a wee problem: every time the HH and I whip up a batch of that dressing for our romaine lettuce, we end up with enough silky, garlicy coating for 10-12 servings. But we are only two. And yes, I eat Caesar for four days in a row–but still end up with half the dressing in a jar in the fridge. So, what to do with the leftovers?
Last weekend, I had a little epiphany: why not COOK IT?? Yes, my friends, I heated up a Caesar salad dressing. And not only that; I also mixed it with salsa and crumbled tofu. Yep, life sure is wacky in the DDD household! ("You said it, Mum! But does this mean we get to lick dressing off your fingers now?")
And you know what? It was fantastic! The combination of slightly spicy (I used a medium-hot salsa), creamy and pungent was to-die-for. The raw garlic in the dressing is cooked a bit, thereby mitigating the usual bite when that particular bulb is eaten raw. The dressing-salsa mixture was the perfect consistency–thick enough to smother and cling to the chunks of tofu, yet soft enough to remain a bit saucy. (And we're all for saucy here at DDD).
The second time I tried it, we were actually all out of salsa, so I just used a chopped onion sautéed in a tad of olive oil, a (large) chopped tomato and a few sprinkles of tabasco, for a very similar effect. I think I'm addicted to this stuff now (or, at least, for the next couple of weeks, before I move on to something else. . . not only wacky, but fickle, too. I guess that's just what life is like during crunch time.).
Mex-Ital Tofu Scramble
[Salsa version]
If you're in a hurry and happen to have leftover Caesar dressing in the fridge, this is a great scramble for breakfast or lunch. People are particular about the tofu they use for scrambles–I like really firm, solid chunks, but if you prefer the water-packed kind, go for it. This is lovely on a piece of spelt pita.

Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I've decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here's my first "Flash in the Pan."
Speedy Fruit Sorbet
When I crave something sweet, creamy, and cold, this is my current indulgence. It's made almost entirely of fresh-frozen fruit, so there's absolutely no guilt. And it's ready in about three minutes. I'm loving this sorbet!

Republican Debate Watch Party
September 16 only
On Wednesday, September 16, The Roxie Theater and The League Of Pissed Off Voters, have put together a Republican Debate Watch Party for the ages, introduced by Tom Ammiano.
With 17 Contenders, so far, 7 of which no one knows what to do with, the Republican Primary has turned into tawdry, top-rated, Reality TV from which it is impossible to turn away. Chris Christie wants to bar-code immigrants with FedEx tracking numbers. Scott Walker promises to burn up the Iran Nuclear Deal. Come watch the circus as Republicans fall all over themselves attempting to outdo one another on the Outrageous Meter, and get walked to the edge of the plank by the Teflon clown-prince of the polls, Donald Trump. The Republican establishment is having fits as it attempts to fight it's way out of America's new, favorite soap, "The Donald Show", starring the billionaire blow-hard as he gleefully pushes his opponents off the General Election cliff. Ad-libbing policy positions and slinging insults to his right & left while claiming he's already bought his opponents many times over, The Donald's hijacking of the debates makes for deliriously irresistible entertainment.
Tom Ammiano, LGBT rights activist, former member of the California State Assembly, and former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, sets the stage in a way that only a long-standing progressive politician with a background in stand up comedy could.
Come watch the fireworks while swilling beer and venting with your fellow pissed off voters.
Doors: 4:30
Introduction: 4:50
Debate: 5:00
Admission: $10.00.

With an improved root system to higher drought tolerance in wheat
Launch of project: Research alliance borrows from a close relative to adapt Germany's most important cereal grain to climate change. Joined press release of the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food, the Wheat Initiative and the Julius Kuehn Institute
Groß Lüsewitz/Quedlinburg. Wheat is the most important small grain cereal worldwide. The precipitation in April 2020 was below the long-term average, following the trend of the past 11 years. This demonstrates that wheat cultivation in Germany is increasingly affected by drought. A research alliance, which includes three German plant breeding companies, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture and the Julius Kühn Institute, JKI in short, aims to adapt wheat to the changing climate. The recently launched project TERTIUS is supported by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture through the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food.
The water uptake through the roots is of central importance to improve drought tolerance. In this context, a close relative of wheat, cereal rye, serves more than just a model. "Rye initially occurred as weed in fields of wheat," Dr. Bernd Hackauf from JKI says. "In such plant communities spontaneous hybridizations between closely related cereals happen under natural conditions," says the research scientist working at the JKI location in Groß Lüsewitz. Indeed, many modern wheat varieties worldwide carry segments inherited from rye in their genomes, which may encode for an improved root system.
This genetic information is of particular interest to the project TERTIUS. "This bond with rye can be identified in modern elite bread wheat and, thus, offers a great opportunity for a contemporary adaption of wheat to climate change. Observations from large scale performance trials under the drought in Germany in 2018 and 2019 reveal that this comparatively small segment of the rye genome is a key for increasing the drought tolerance of bread wheat," Hackauf states.
However, the use of the desired genes is often compromised by other genes derived from rye, which have a negative impact on the processing quality of wheat. The aim of TERTIUS is to overcome this challenge by breaking up the linkage between desired and undesired traits. For this purpose, the scientists take advantage of a recent scientific breakthrough. The International Rye Genome Sequencing Consortium was able to comprehensively characterize the rye genome. According to Hackauf the genetic blueprints now available for rye and wheat will enable much faster and more precise improvement of important traits.
In the 2035 Arable Farming Strategy discussion paper of the BMEL, TERTIUS is the flagship project in the plant breeding area of action. "En route to the agriculture of the future, the tertiary gene pool of wheat, to which rye belongs, is a plant genetic resource that has been less comprehensively explored so far. Therefore, TERTIUS provides a valuable contribution to international wheat research activities aiming at the development of breeding strategies to achieve food security," explains the President of the JKI, Prof. Dr. Frank Ordon. He points out that TERTIUS is integrated into the global Alliance for Wheat Adaption to Heat and Drought under the roof of the Wheat Initiative and is completely in line with the Wheat Initiative's slogan "Together, we are creating future wheat!".
To meet the future demand for wheat, innovative approaches and global cooperation for the development of climate-adapted varieties are required. A funding announcement published in August 2018 for innovations to breed high-performance wheat varieties in the context of climate change complements an initiative launched in 2013 by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture to promote the intensive tackling of current and complex issues. The Federal Office for Agriculture and Food coordinates the research as part of the program to promote innovations. Based on a peer-review process, 11 out of 21 submitted pre-proposals were considered eligible. While first projects were launched in autumn 2019, the TERTIUS project started in April 2020.

(CNN) — Food delivery services have skyrocketed in popularity since the pandemic. But now one delivery service, in particular, is expanding to deliver COVID tests.
Doordash announced Monday that it will begin same-day deliveries of two COVID-19 PCR tests across the U.S.
The delivery service teamed up with digital health companies Vault Health and Everlywell for this project. Everlywell's test kit uses a nasal swab while Vault Health's uses supervised saliva collection.
Both kits have been authorized for emergency use by the FDA.
Doordash says the tests will first be available in a dozen cities before expanding to more locations in the coming months.

Short description
ESR 1 will examine individuals' willingness to move internationally for work reasons.
The objective of this empirical project is to examine the primary reasons and motives for individuals' willingness to move internationally for work reasons. Relevant sub-questions are: How do individuals perceive value of international work experience for their career, life style etc.? What are the motivational mechanisms and which factors determine the individual decision-making process to relocate internationally? How can employers make use of these results to motivate their employees to accept an assignment abroad (assigned expatriates) or to motivate new recruits to move to their country (self-initiated expatriates)? The project shall be based on empirical data (either qualitative or quantitative) to be collected in the countries participating in GLOMO.
Expected Results
· Develop a holistic perspective on individual motivation for expatriation, thereby considering both the acceptance of the organizational international mobility assignments and self-initiated expatriation.
· Advance knowledge about individual and organizational motives and mechanisms underlying individual willingness to move internationally.
· Provide organizations with knowledge and starting points for developing relevant policies and practices based on the findings about motivation for expatriation from an individual and organizational perspectives.
