Education Ministry and Six Other Departments Deploy Further Strengthening of Teacher Respect and Welfare WorkIn the fast-paced world of technology and innovation, it's not uncommon for individuals to find themselves facing unexpected changes in their careers. Such is the case for "退钱哥" (Retired Brother), a well-known figure in the financial industry in China, who recently humorously announced his own retirement and acknowledged his current state of unemployment. Despite the challenges he may be facing, Retired Brother's attitude remains one of gratitude and optimism, as he understands that his personal limitations do not necessarily reflect the state of the entire industry.Monster Hunter: Wild Lands Official Showcase: The Rathian - The Top Monster of the Crimson Forest!
One key aspect highlighted by Barresi is the need to nurture a distinct footballing philosophy that resonates with Chinese players and fans. While European football is characterized by its fast-paced, physical style of play, Barresi believes that China should leverage its own strengths, such as technical skill, tactical intelligence, and disciplined team play. By cultivating a style of football that aligns with the nation's football heritage, China can carve out a unique identity on the global stage.Furthermore, it is advisable to consult with a financial advisor or real estate agent to assess individual circumstances and make an informed decision.

Canada's Trudeau says he had an 'excellent conversation' with Trump in Florida after tariffs threatAFTER PULLING off an upset win in District 18 over Senate Democratic Leader Donna Soucy at the polls in November, Manchester’s Victoria Sullivan is hitting the ground running as a state senator, putting in a legislative service request (LSR) involving intra-district school choice. LSRs are drafts for legislation lawmakers would like to see drawn up. They are sent to the Office of Legislative Services, which converts the request into a draft bill. Sullivan, R-Manchester (whose district includes Manchester Wards 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the town of Litchfield), says intra-district school choice would give families interested in choosing a different school in their local district the ability to do so. “This is something that I would have implemented in Manchester had I been successful in my bid to become mayor,” Sullivan said. “Having this a state law will benefit far more than just Manchester families. Children should not be segregated by socioeconomic status, which is exactly the way public schools divide children. “I believe this will also improve public schools if there is competition within them.” Also known as open enrollment, intra-district choice lets families choose from public schools within their local district other than their assigned school. Sullivan’s request to the Office of Legislative Services reads as follows: “Whereas children should not be segregated by zip code or socioeconomic status, intra-district public school choice will allow families education choice within their own district. “Every taxpayer within a district is paying into the schools and should therefore have the option to choose the best school for their child. “Families opting to choose a public school other than the school assigned them by the school board or district will be responsible for providing their own transportation. “Requests to change schools must be made no later than July 1 for the upcoming school year. “An emergency request may be made at any time if it is determined that the child’s safety is at risk in their current school. “The receiving school must be able to accommodate the student based on teacher to student ratio and school capacity. “The Superintendent of schools will make the determination of availability. “Any parent denied access based on availability may submit an appeal to the local school board who will have the power to override the Superintendent’s decision.” The bill, if ever passed, would take effect July 2025, Sullivan said. “Local tax dollars pay the bulk of the expenses for public schools,” said Sullivan. “Any family interested in choosing a different school in their district should have the ability to do so.” Sullivan said the current conversations in Manchester around Beech Street School are a “great testament as to why this is important.” “The school board and aldermen keep saying that the children in this neighborhood, where many of our refugees, new Americans and underserved families live, deserve to know they are valued,” Sullivan said. “They are correct. Giving these families equal footing and opportunity sends that exact message.” Don’t expect any action on Sullivan’s request until early 2025. As of Dec. 1, the Manchester City Library is no longer charging overdue fines on all items in its collection, joining a “growing movement among public libraries nationwide seeking to remove barriers to increase access,” library officials said in a release. “Research has shown that overdue fines can serve to prevent lower income members of the community and children from accessing library materials and services, and have been largely ineffective in their stated goal of discouraging tardy returns of library materials,” the release states. “Removing fines will allow the library to better serve patrons and meet its mission of ‘striving to provide services and materials to meet the needs of our diverse and changing community.’” While overdue fines have been eliminated, patrons are still responsible for returning items by their due date. “If an overdue item is not returned within a 40-day window, patrons will still be charged a replacement cost for the item,” library officials said in a statement. Any questions regarding individual library accounts should be directed to the library circulation desk. Manchester City Library Director Denise van Zanten was announced as the 2024 recipient of the Ann Geisel Award of Merit from the NH Library Association (NHLA) during their annual Fall Business Meeting & Conference in Plymouth. The award is named in memory of Ann Geisel (1947-1999), who provided distinguished service to local, regional, and national library communities. Recipients are individuals, groups or organizations that have made similar significant contributions to the New Hampshire library community, or to NHLA. Van Zanten was honored in part for “helming the ship” of the largest public library in New Hampshire through a period of extreme challenges — financial crises, a pandemic, etc., and serving as a mentor to many new library directors throughout the state over the last 20-plus years. Webster Elementary School is opening a new food pantry to serve students and families, following a donation from Hannaford Supermarkets. Webster Principal Meg Canning , social worker Stacey Evans , Superintendent of Schools Jennifer Chmiel and network director Erin Murphy were on hand at the North Side Plaza Hannaford store recently to accept a donation of $1,500 in gift cards. Evans, who is coordinating efforts to open the food pantry, said it will help meet the needs of the school community. “We are thankful to Hannaford for their generous donation of $1,500 in gift cards for the pantry,” Evans said. “With the help of partners like Hannaford, our mission is to stop the gap of food insecurity from Friday afternoons to Monday mornings.” Webster was one of several schools to receive a grant from the city’s Health Department over the summer to open a food pantry. “I’m incredibly proud of the work that is underway in our schools and grateful for the support we are receiving to address this critical issue,” Chmiel said in a statement. “Combined with our efforts to increase access to school breakfast, inclusion of culturally appropriate meal options, and emphasis on getting families in need connected to free or reduced(-price) meals, we are approaching this problem on multiple fronts. “I’m eager to see these new in-school food pantries get up and running.” In addition to Webster, Weston and Beech Street elementary schools, West High School and the Adult High School are planning to open food pantries this year. Those schools, plus Gossler Park Elementary and the Middle School at Parkside were also recipients of health department grant funding. Evans and Canning at Webster said they hope to have the food pantry set up by the start of 2025. “Having this food pantry at Webster will greatly benefit our students and surrounding community,” Canning said. “We are so thankful to Hannaford for supporting our food pantry and being an upstanding community partner with Webster Elementary School.” To apply for free or reduced meal prices, complete the application at www.myschoolapps.com .
