Concrete Leveling & Lifting | National PolyLevel® Contractor Network Running Tracks & Playgrounds Built on Chinese School Rooftops - chinaSMACK From QQ: Just as the new school year has started, news of a track field built on top of a primary school’s roof in Tiantai County in Zhejiang province attracted a lot of attention. Many people questioned the safety of a rooftop track field. Some people are concerned the railings are not strong enough while others fear that a thousand students on the rooftop can cause the building to collapse. A rooftop track field may look as if it is merely adapting to local needs, representing a daring and innovative design, it instead reveals the phenomenon of insufficient land for the construction of schools in recent years, and this phenomenon is most often seen at schools serving the children of migrant workers that already lack teachers and funding. On 2014 September 1, Zhejiang Tiantai Country Cicheng No. 2 Elementary School’s rooftop oval athletic track officially went into use, with students running and playing on the circular track for the first time.

Amazon Go grocery store of the future: PHOTOS, VIDEO - INSIDER Amazon DisclaimerGet real-time AMZN charts here » Amazon plans to break into physical retail in a new way. The online retail giant revealed a concept for a physical store in a video published Monday. The store, called Amazon Go, doesn't work like a typical Walmart or supermarket — instead, it's designed so that shoppers will use an app, also called Amazon Go, to automatically add the products they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart; they can then walk out of the building without waiting in a checkout line. The idea is that Amazon's machine-learning technology can automatically identify when a product is added to your cart, so you don't have to do it yourself. The stores will sell ready-made food, staples like bread and milk, and other grocery products. Amazon internal plans show it could build 2,000 grocery stores across the US in the next decade, Business Insider previously reported. The first Amazon Go store is scheduled to open to the public in Seattle early next year.

Mobile Market Research & Audits | Field Agent UK Умная школа The constantly changing world means that people need to be equipped to learn for the duration of their lives, adapt to new realities, and be at home in any cultural or social context. An educational system that prepares children for adulthood in just one social system is ineffective in these modern conditions, where forms of social organization are actively interchangeable. Each person must have the ability to ensure his or her prosperity and self-realization even when the rules of the game change. In Irkutsk, about 60 kilometers away from Lake Baikal, the construction of Smart School begins. Smart School is the project aimed at building an innovative educational complex with a settlement for foster families, as well as at creating a center for developing a new approach to modernizing secondary education system in Russia.

Automated home storage solutions that include motor driven lifts and vertical carousels and conveyors Rethinking the role of the school principal | Catholic Outlook Weekly Column from the Executive Director of Schools, Diocese of Parramatta There has been a lot of coverage in recent years on the growing number of stressed out school principals. It is pretty clear that leading a school community is not only demanding but can also be lonely work. Nowadays, principals are not only leading the learning but dealing with the complexity of child protection issues, managing and responding to standardised testing and international rankings, and implementing ever-increasing accountability measures. Like many other professions, principals are often on-call seven days a week. The good news is that principal and teacher well-being is now being seen as important as student well-being. Like many things in schooling, we get good at treating the symptoms instead of searching for cures. We often talk about ensuring students have 21st century skills like collaboration, critical thinking and communication. Greg Whitby AM
