4/30/2023 0 Comments Starters orders 6 steam![]() ![]() ![]() Over the next decade, as Maryland implements elements of the blueprint, every local education agency (LEA) in the state will begin offering a minimum starting salary of $60,000 for teachers. This was part of a larger effort the commission determined was necessary to elevate and “ rebrand” the teaching profession. The Kirwan Commission was tasked with making policy recommendations and proposing changes to the funding structure that would ultimately help Maryland become a top-performing state for teaching and learning.Īmong the many changes the commission recommended - which became law in 2021, under the “Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Act,” and will increase state education funding by $3.8 billion a year - was establishing a statewide salary minimum. So in 2016, the legislature established the Maryland Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education (better known as the “Kirwan Commission,” a nod to its chairman). Some years back, before the start of the pandemic, Maryland state legislators were thinking about how to improve their education system, hoping to transform it into one of the best in the world. In fact, in a number of regions across the country, first-year teachers are already being hired at that starting salary, thanks to recent pushes for better educator pay.Īs Congress considers a federal minimum, we examine two successful efforts - one locally, another statewide - to raise teacher salaries and, in the process, raise the status of the teaching profession. This is the first time Congress has introduced legislation that would create a salary floor for teachers, according to Wilson’s office.īut it’s not the first time that lawmakers and education leaders have identified $60,000 as the magic number. Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced he would be introducing complementary legislation called the Pay Teachers Act. Though its success remains a long shot, especially in a now-divided legislature, the proposal gained steam in February when Sen. Frederica Wilson, a former teacher, would establish a minimum salary of $60,000 for every public school teacher in the country. The American Teacher Act, a bill introduced in the House of Representatives in December by Rep. Congress is weighing a significant change to the teaching profession - one that proponents hope could help attract strong candidates to the classroom while retaining those who are already in it. ![]() 4/30/2023 0 Comments One and all agency![]() They also provide the creative visual styling, strategic messaging, and guidance to help maintain brand consistency.

Availability of Android and iOS Mobile App That’s the strategy Otixo has embraced by supporting 35 cloud storage services, and it’s undeniably true that you will find your favourite service in their list. Therefore, it is mandatory for a cloud file manager to support as many storages as possible to accommodate the needs of its customers. For example, your primary cloud service may be OneDrive, but mine is Google Drive. But different people need different services. I know, as a person, you don’t need all these cloud storage services.

A simple feature to download Youtube videos (that you had uploaded earlier) might been a nice addition to Cloudkafe. The interface looks a little gawky at some screens but is overall quite simple and easy to use. The great thing about using Cloudkafe is that you can search for something in all the services in one go, which is really very helpful. Otixo is a remote collaboration service with free and paid plans that offers integration with 30 other cloud storage providers.

In 2019, Mozambique invited into the country members of the Wagner Group, the Kremlin-linked private military company, who quickly withdrew from a train-and-support mission after significant losses. Insurgency in Mozambique: A Local Stage with Global Actors In 2018, the insurgency opportunistically rebranded itself as ISIS-M it has since succeeded in cutting the world off from the African continent’s third largest natural gas reserves, located off of the Cabo Delgado coast. Widespread social discontent resulted in violent attacks against government and Western-affiliated targets such as banks, hotels, and a port. Despite ongoing investigations into grand corruption, foreign energy extraction began in 2017, led by France’s Total, US-based ExxonMobil, Italy’s ENI, and the China National Petroleum Corporation. But instead of investing in the national economy, revenues were diverted to a small group of government officials. The 2010 discovery of large offshore natural gas reserves in the Rovuma Basin led the government of Mozambique to draft optimistic plans for domestic economic development. ![]() As the birthplace of the country’s independence movement in 1979, the region was ripe for armed resistance against a corrupt central government. It is one of Mozambique’s poorest provinces despite rich reserves of natural resources. Cabo Delgado is a northeastern region of Mozambique bordered by Tanzania to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. ![]() The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has emerged after years of corruption, human rights violations, and population displacement. The United States should also pay close attention: the situation in Cabo Delgado may foreshadow future conflicts in resource-rich regions of littoral Africa where foreign competitors jockey for influence.Ĭorruption Invites the Black Flag to Mozambique The United States should specify its national interests and integrate diplomatic pressure with security assistance to not only quell the insurgency but push the government away from the abusive tactics and corruption that fueled it in the first place. As the United States gets increasingly involved, it needs to understand the root causes of the conflict. Today, the Mozambican armed forces, with the aid of a multinational regional coalition, are still fighting to regain control of the region. In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany’s halting of the certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, and Russia’s threats to shut off gas supplies to Europe, the demand for natural gas across the global north has increased while Mozambique’s supply remains cut off from the world market. This localized insurgency, which drove the Russian Wagner Group out of the region in 2019 and caused energy giants Total of France and Saipem of Italy to cease liquified natural gas extraction projects last spring, also demonstrates the power of insurgents to influence global investment in developing markets. The violence inflicted on the region’s people only tells part of the story. The conflict has displaced over half a million people since 2017. Today, the insurgency terrorizes the region of Cabo Delgado, in northern Mozambique, with tactics similar to Boko Haram’s razing of villages to capture sex slaves and youth fighters. The insurgency finances its operations through illicit resource trafficking and recruits fighters with the promise of small loans to young men without opportunity. Over the past five years, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria–Mozambique (ISIS-M), locally referred to as al-Shabaab (no direct connection to the Somali-based group), has organized an insurgency by leveraging economic grievances in a resource-rich, poverty-stricken region of the country. This increased security cooperation, which has made the United States the largest bilateral donor to Mozambique, comes as the southeast African nation attempts to contain a surging Islamic State affiliate. ![]() In October, the USS Hershel “Woody” Williams made a port call to the capital described by the US ambassador to Mozambique as indicative of the “ strength of the strategic partnership” with the United States. In March 2021, roughly a dozen US Army Green Berets arrived in Mozambique to help train the Mozambican armed forces. ![]() 4/29/2023 0 Comments Marvel ghost rider games![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marvel has been going through something of a gaming renaissance of sorts over the past few years, thanks to Insomniac’s excellent Marvel's Spi der-Man titles and Eidos Montreal’s promising Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy.
