The indicators, which comprise the number of new cases, suspects and fatalities, among other things, determine whether each region falls into the green, yellow, orange or red category.Education and Culture Minister Nadiem Makarim said the number of students in those areas was roughly equivalent to 6 percent of all students in the country, meaning that the remaining 94 percent had to continue their education through online learningDoni said the duration of face-to-face learning at schools would be limited as well as the number of students attending the classes to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission.”Although online learning is very effective to curb the spread of COVID-19 transmission, there are a lot of students in rural areas who are struggling to learn from home due to poor internet access,” Doni said.Read also: Life without internet: Bornean students learn by radio during pandemicDoni expressed his appreciation for several regional administrations that had provided lessons through radio to accommodate students who don’t have internet access.”Several regional administrations have provided teachers with two-way radios [walkie-talkies] to teach their students.

Stuff co.nz 25 November 2014 Cannabis sellers are gearing up for their first holiday season since recreational marijuana was legalised in the US state of Colorado.At Grass Station, a shop in Denver that sells US$7 (NZ$9) joints, US$21 (NZ$27) chocolate bars and even a US$11 (NZ$14) lip balm, the goal is to get the same kind of post-Thanksgiving sales bump as department stores or clothing chains. Some pot sellers have even renamed the traditional Black Friday shopping day “Green Friday”.“We have really high expectations,” said Grass Station owner Ryan Fox.“Now we’ve got the legal means for people to give marijuana as a gift, and that’s never really been something that was feasible in the past.”The shop expects a line at the door at 8am on November 28, the day after Thanksgiving, as tokers try to get their fingers on rationed specials. Sixteen customers will get an ounce of marijuana for US$50 (NZ$64) that generally sells for five times that amount. Sixty joints will go for US$1 each. The price for a US$30 (NZ$39) vape-pen cartridge will be cut in half.Colorado’s almost 300 legal marijuana sellers have more to worry about than just enticing customers with discounts. The industry is grappling with 500 pages of regulation and myriad marketing restrictions. There’s also concern that the federal government still sees the trade as illegal, even if officials are looking the other way for now.http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/63504577/marijuana-stores-offer-high-holidays-with-1-joints.html
