But they say you should be on top watch when everyone is relaxed and relax a bit when everyone is on top watch.

 

indecision

 

Many industries are taking a full blown hit. Manufacturing, import/export, service industries what not. Small businesses went brankrupt. College graduates, a few millions of them, be like, s**t, no job!

 

Meanwhile a lot of good changes though. You realize simple living is not bad... If you sign up for some volunteering work you meet lots of people with big hearts. During the days with my gym closed, I ended up learning free resistence training and got a better toned body. 

 

 

Gotta still enjoy the sun. Time to lend a hand to other countries, too.

I for one will definitely appreciate more, what i have and what i can do for others

In Stunning Show Of Hypocrisy, China Shuts All Borders To Foreigners Over Virus Fears

China has decided to suspend the entry of foreigners with currently valid visas and residence permits in China ...

 

Thu, 03/26/2020 - 11:40

Two months ago, as deaths from China's virus were rapidly escalating and spreading across the nation, Beijing expressed outrage at the measures enacted by the global community to limit the spread of the deadly virus, saying they went way beyond standards accepted worldwide.

Specifically,  Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that Beijing "does not agree with the approach adopted by individual countries to create tension or even panic" by closing borders, trade, and flights to and from China. 

WHO boss Tedros also piled on - saying these flight bans and border closures were racist.

  

And of course, AOC and the extreme left also chimed in on the 'racist' OrangeManBad in The White House and his (now clearly life-saving) Chinese flight bans.

But now, as China claims it has its domestic outbreak under control and that the new cases are ONLY from foreigners, and in a stunning piece of total and utter hypocrisy, they have decided to... Suspend entry of all foreigners' entry to China:

 

Double standards ..., not 'hypocrisy' ...

icnif77:

In a Weibo message from Securities Times Network:

 

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Migration Administration:

China has decided to suspend the entry of foreigners with currently valid visas and residence permits in China # from 00:00 on March 28, 2020 .

Suspend foreigners holding APEC Business Travel Card Entry # . Port suspension, 24/72 / 144-hour transit visa exemption, Hainan entry visa exemption, Shanghai cruise visa exemption, 144-hour visa exemption for foreigners from Hong Kong and Macao in Guangdong, and Guangxi visa exemption for ASEAN tourist groups. 

Entry with a diplomatic, official, courtesy, or C visa is not affected. 

Foreigners who come to China to engage in necessary economic, trade, scientific and technological activities, and for urgent humanitarian needs, can apply for visas from Chinese embassies and consulates abroad. Entry of visas issued by foreigners after the announcement is not affected.

Furthermore, China says it has to take these necessary and temporary measures in response to the current coronavirus situation, using practices of various countries as reference.

We look forward to hearing Tedros decry this action by China as xenophobic.

Hubei Residents Riot After Quarantine Lifted; Police Beaten With Their Own Shield, Cop Cars Overturned

Residents of Hubei province in China teamed up with their local police force to battle the police from neighboring Jiangxi province - who set up a roadblock on the Yangtze River Bridge to prevent the people of Hubei from crossing and returning to work.

Footage of Hubei residents overturning Jingxi police vehicles was captured and uploaded to Chinese social media - where Chinese authorities have reportedly already scrubbed it.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
