Alberta FAQs >Employment Law >Employment Law >Hours of Work
Is there a limit on the number of hours that an employee can work?
Yes. If your job is covered by the Alberta Employment Standards Code, you can work for up to twelve hours in one day. Anything above this can only occur on an emergency basis, for example, if plant or machinery needs urgent work, , an accident occurs, or other unforeseeable or unpreventable circumstances occur.
Last Reviewed: January 2018
I work shifts. Last week my boss told me I had to stay and work a double shift. Can she do this?
No, not if your job is covered by the Employment Standards Code. Your boss cannot require you to do this unless you have 24 hours written notice and eight hours of rest between shifts.
I work as a cook at a family restaurant. On Saturdays when we are really busy I start work at 10 a.m. and often do not get to rest until the lunch rush is over at 3 p.m. Is this legal?
Yes. Your employer should give you rest periods at work. For every five hours that you work at a time, you should get thirty minutes rest. In your example, you should have a rest at 3 p.m.
The thirty minutes can be provided in one unbroken period or in a series of breaks (two fifteen minute periods) if you and your employer agree. Your break may be paid or unpaid, depending on your employer's choice.
My boss likes me to work for ten hours a day, but only for four days a week. Is this legal?
No. Previously the legislation allowed this practice which was called a compressed work week. However, as of January 1, 2018, this is no longer permitted.
If you are in a compressed work week arrangement, this arrangement remains valid for a year after January 1, 2018, or the arrangement ends, or if the compressed work week was part of collective agreement, when a subsequent collective agreement is signed.
When I interviewed for a job, the employer said I might have to work weekends. Can this be a job requirement?
Yes. Although the Employment Standards Code states that an employer must allow employees days of rest, in Alberta there is no mention which days they have to be. If weekend work is a job requirement, consider this when deciding whether to take the job.
What are the rest periods required by law?
The Employment Standards Code requires one day of rest in every work week, two consecutive days in a period of two consecutive work weeks, and so on up to four consecutive work weeks.
After twenty-four consecutive workdays, an employee is entitled to at least four days rest.
Special rules apply to the trucking industry: an employee must have eight hours of rest after completing a shift.
Which employees are exempt from the Employment Standards Code provisions relating to hours of work, rest, and overtime?
The following employees are exempt:
managers, supervisors, and those employed in a confidential capacity;
domestic workers and farm workers;
professionals, including lawyers, certified or chartered accountants, architects, chiropractors, dentists, engineers, optometrists, podiatrists, psychologists, and veterinarians;
salespersons of automobiles, trucks, buses, farm machinery, road construction equipment, heavy duty equipment, mobile homes, or residential homes;
salespersons who solicit orders, principally outside of the employer's place of business, who are fully or partly paid by commission (this does not apply to route salespersons);
licensed salespersons of real estate, insurance, and securities;
salespersons for licensed direct sellers;
licensed land agents;
extras in a video or film production ; and
instructors or counsellors at a non-profit or recreational camp for children or handicapped persons or operated for religious purposes.
I currently work 40 hours per week (5×8 hours per day) at one job. I also work at an additional part-time job elsewhere (approximately 25 hours per week.) I prefer my full-time job, and there is plenty of work. Can I work 6×10 hour days with that employer, for a total of a 60 hour work week?
Yes. However, you are not permitted to work more 12 hours per day. In addition, unless your job is exempt from the overtime provisions, the law says that any work time over 8 hours per day, or 44 hours per week (whichever is greater) is overtime and must be paid as such. You can also enter into an agreement with your employer to average your hours of work over one to 12 weeks to determine your entitlement to overtime pay or time off with pay.
I was hired for a full-time job, but I work less than 40 hours per week, and sometimes, when there is not much work, my boss cuts back my hours to only about 32 hours a week. Is there a minimum number of hours that I must work in order to be "full-time"?
The Employment Standards Code does not define full-time in terms of a number of hours. This may be defined by your employment contract or the personnel policies of your place of employment. If not, you may ask to negotiate a definition of full-time hours with your employer.

Using their new weapon, Simon and Kamina fend off a surprise attack from the surface with the help of Yoko Littner, a hot-blooded redhead wielding a massive gun who wanders the world above. In the aftermath of the battle, the sky is now in plain view, prompting Simon and Kamina to set off on a journey alongside Yoko to explore the wastelands of the surface. Soon, they join the fight against the "Beastmen," humanoid creatures that terrorize the remnants of humanity in powerful robots called "Gunmen."

The Amanto, aliens from outer space, have invaded Earth and taken over feudal Japan. As a result, a prohibition on swords has been established, and the samurai of Japan are treated with disregard as a consequence. However one man, Gintoki Sakata, still possesses the heart of the samurai, although from his love of sweets and work as a yorozuya, one might not expect it. Accompanying him in his jack-of-all-trades line of work are Shinpachi Shimura, a boy with glasses and a strong heart, Kagura with her umbrella and seemingly bottomless stomach, as well as Sadaharu, their oversized pet dog. Of course, these odd jobs are not always simple, as they frequently have run-ins with the police, ragtag rebels, and assassins, oftentimes leading to humorous but unfortunate consequences.

Five years after winning the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu is now living a peaceful life with his wife and son. This changes, however, with the arrival of a mysterious enemy named Raditz who presents himself as Gokuu's long-lost brother. He reveals that Gokuu is a warrior from the once powerful but now virtually extinct Saiyan race, whose homeworld was completely annihilated. When he was sent to Earth as a baby, Gokuu's sole purpose was to conquer and destroy the planet; but after suffering amnesia from a head injury, his violent and savage nature changed, and instead was raised as a kind and well-mannered boy, now fighting to protect others. With his failed attempt at forcibly recruiting Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns Gokuu's friends of a new threat that's rapidly approaching Earth—one that could plunge Earth into an intergalactic conflict and cause the heavens themselves to shake. A war will be fought over the seven mystical dragon balls, and only the strongest will survive in Dragon Ball Z. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Orlando International Airport Keeps Up With the Pace of Change in Tourism
Orlando has been maturing as a destination in the past decade, adding luxury resorts, high-end shopping, more meeting space and a growing list of activities people can't experience anywhere else in the world.
Nowhere is that more noticeable than at Orlando International Airport, which sees the trends unfold with every wave of passengers coming through. Orlando International welcomed 45.5 million passengers in 2017, making it the busiest airport in Florida, said Carolyn Fennell, senior director of public affairs and community relations. It has traditionally swapped that title back and forth with Miami International, which logged in about 44.6 million last year. By comparison, Tampa International counted about 19.6 million.
To keep up with the pace of change of the destination, the airport trademarked a philosophy that blends its mission and customer service focus in a branding strategy called The Orlando Experience. It focuses on the kind of customer service visitors to Central Florida have come to expect across all venues.
"Orlando is the most visited destination in the country, so it is important as the gateway that we focus on building our existing customer service initiatives," said Phil Brown, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA). "The support of our board and staff has been critical in helping us reach the next level. The result was Orlando International Airport's recognition by J.D. Power as the top-rated mega airport in North America in 2017 for customer satisfaction."
The airport is seeing increases in both domestic and international travel, said Vicki Jaramillo, senior director of air service development and marketing. Domestic travel was up 7.2 percent in 2017 and international was up 9.5 percent.
Orlando International counted 5.8 million international visitors in 2017, although that number includes only those arriving on direct flights. If they come in from New York or some other U.S. airport, they are counted as domestic. By comparison, Miami International logged in 21.5 million international passengers last year.
Through Orlando International, passengers have access to nearly 60 international destinations in 26 countries — and 19 of them have been added in the past three years.
"International visitors used to be 5 percent and are now 13 percent of our travel," Jaramillo said. "The international visitor tends to stay longer and spend more, so the impact is higher of these particular markets."
Orlando's growth as a destination has been particularly important for attracting those international visitors, Jaramillo said. Travelers from some Latin American and other countries used to make a point of stopping in Miami before heading home so they could shop for high-end brands. The addition of more nonstop service to Latin American countries, including Brazil, and the opening of The Mall at Millenia in Orlando in 2002 helped keep them in Central Florida.
GOAA is in the middle of a multi-year $4.2 billion capital improvement plan to address the increased demand and the need for greater convenience for travelers. The expansion plans include:
• The South Airport Automated People Mover complex and six-story, 2,400-space Parking Garage C, which opened in November 2017 and is already helping to meet parking demands. Passengers can check in remotely, print boarding passes for participating airlines, and take the new people-mover train right to the Main Terminal.
• Construction on the Intermodal Terminal facility, which will serve Brightline train connections to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. When Brightline arrives, Orlando International will be the only airport in the U.S. to have an on-airport hub for intercity rail.
• North Terminal improvements that include an expanded lobby, international arrivals facilities, an enhanced baggage system and new self-service kiosks.
• Site work that has begun on a new South Terminal complex with 19 gates. Phase I is expected to be completed in 2021.
• The addition of 15 new nonstop destinations since the beginning of this year, bringing the total offered at Orlando International to 139 – more than Tampa and Jacksonville combined.

Redken Aerate 08 – Va Va Volume!
I have to say that I absolutely adore this product: the new REDKEN Aerate 08 is a stiff paste that you apply to towel-dry or damp hair and then blow dry to get amazing volume.
Directions: Take a dime size amount of the Redken Aerated Cream-Mousse and then apply it all over hair, then using a tourmaline blow dryer, blow dry hair from the roots all the way to the tips (actually the best thing is to leave the tips alone, since they become brittle from blow drying anyway).
Product: Redken Aerate 08 Bodifying Cream Mousse. You can get this at drugstores and online.


Food allergies occur when the body has an abnormal reaction to a food eaten or touched.
Allergic reactions to food may be serious and should be discussed with a doctor. A food that did not previously cause any reaction may suddenly cause severe allergic symptoms. When this occurs, the body produces a substance called histamine what causes blood vessels to dilate. The most serious symptom of food allergy is anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock), a sudden and potentially life-threatening body reaction to an allergen. The treatment for anaphylaxis is medication called antihistamine. If taken immediately, this antihistamine can stop anaphylaxis before it becomes too serious. In cases of severe allergy, an injection of a strong antihistamine called epinephrine or adrenaline may be needed.
Children of parents who have a significant allergic reaction to a food are more likely to have that food allergy as well. To identify food allergies, a doctor or a dietitian records a medical history. The patient keeps a food diary documenting exactly what and when is eaten and also records physical symptoms and when they occur. Other means of diagnosing food allergies can include a skin test and food challenge test.
Food allergies may be prevented by avoiding foods that cause allergic reactions (elimination diet). Foods that cause up to 90% of all food allergies include milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, cashews, pecans, etc.), fish, shellfish, soy, wheat. Once a food allergy has been identified, an elimination diet is the only effective treatment. If a food allergy is suspected, it is necessary to consult a doctor or a dietitian. Removing foods from the diet can cause an unbalanced diet that may be deficient in necessary nutrients. Since some of the most common foods that cause allergies include milk, eggs, and wheat, significant sources of protein, calcium and fiber may be removed. In this case, the diets should be modified and safe substitutions should be found to ensure that all necessary vitamins and minerals are maintained in the diet. It is especially important to maintain a balanced diet in children during years of development.


I love reading and finding new authors, and would also like to share my books with you!
Hey everyone, Xoe is now free on Kindle, Nook, and several other platforms. Follow the links below to get your free copy!
Seriously you guys, why does school have to start so soon? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE?!?!?!
Book three in the Xoe Meyers series has a title, and a cover, and a set release date! August 1st folks. Keep your eyeballs peeled.
Alexondra Meyers, known to her friends as Xoe, had a normal life. She liked her normal life, but there's a new guy in the small town of Shelby, OR, and he is anything but normal. Before Xoe can say, "Werewolf," her world is turned upside-down. Between a dark secret in Xoe's past, a best friend who's been scratched, and not to mention highschool, Xoe has a lot of thinking to do. She has to choose who she can trust, and fast . . . tomorrow's the full moon.
Last year Xoe's life was turned upside-down. Things haven't improved much. With the lives of her friends at risk, Xoe forgets to worry about another life...her own. With the reappearance of a face from her very distant past, and a random string of abductions to deal with, Xoe has to fight to keep things together. Even if 'together' is a far cry, ahem...howl, from the norm.
My books are both listed on my shelf, btw. Click it. Do it. Pleeeeaaaase and Thank You!


First Distribution-Saturday of 2016 for United Food Operation | United Food Operation, Inc.
The first distribution-Saturday of the 2016 season went like clockwork at United Food Operation's new warehouse facility. Food distributions will continue over the next 12 weeks.
It was still foggy at 8:00 A.M. when UFO volunteers began receiving the pantry vehicles at the organization's new warehouse and headquarters at Institute Industrial Park.
Food pantry vehicles of many types and sizes had no trouble navigating the new set up.
Some vehicles need to be loaded by hand.
Pictured above, UFO Board members Pam Valentine, a Dupont retiree, and Joe Gresham, Bayer retiree, help load the van from the Five Loaves, Two Fish pantry in Putnam County.
Other vehicles, such as this van from the Saint Albans Food Pantry, can be loaded using the forklift.
David Bennett of Charleston's Covenant House gives directions to the forklift operator to help him guide the pallet of food into the truck bed.
While the truck waits its turn to be loaded, UFO volunteers discuss food distributions with the guys from Heart & Hand Social Service of South Charleston.
Mountain Mission's van is next in line to be loaded.
The last truck of the day was from The Salvation Army in Charleston. Usually, everything is wrapped up by 10:00 A.M.
New UFO volunteer and certified forklift operator Jeremy Potter, from SGS Petroleum Services in Institute, came ready to work and did a great job maneuvering in tight spaces. The forklift was donated for UFO's use by MH Equipment of Cross Lanes.
United Food Operation is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that works out of donated warehouse space. Throughout the year, it seeks contributions from business, industry, labor organizations, and individuals around the Kanawha Valley. Between January and April each year, it provides food, free-of-charge to 12 independent food pantries in Kanawha and Putnam counties of West Virginia.
Because the need for food is so great in our area, UFO can always use contributions of money and non-perishable foods. Donating through United Food Operation is a good way to ensure your dollars go to purchase food that will be eaten by those in need and not eaten up by salaries, overhead, and fundraising firms.

Q: Could not run vpn on wireguard server with client connected I am a working on an assignment with setting up wireguard vpn server. I was successfully able to run the server for the past few days and was able to ping to internal LAN computers and gateway. But after running the same setup after a few days, the I was able to connect client-wireguard to wireguard server but wasn't working for VPN services. I couldn't even ping to internal LAN computers now. It wasn't installed successfully, yet I figured out that the problem was due to kernel-headers installation. So i have installed kernel-headers using apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y. I have to run this command every time I try install apt install wireguard-dkms wireguard-tools -y. Here is the .conf file for both client side and server side
[Interface]
    Address = 192.168.2.1
    PrivateKey = <server-private-key>
    ListenPort = 51200
    SaveConfig = false
    PostUp = iptables -A FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ens18 -j MASQUERADE; iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.2.0/16 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
PostDown = iptables -D FORWARD -i wg0 -j ACCEPT; iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o ens18 -j MASQUERADE; iptables -D INPUT -s 192.168.2.0/16 -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT

[Peer]
    PublicKey = <client-public-key>
    AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.2/32

For the client side
[Interface]
    PrivateKey = <client-private-key>
    Address = 192.168.2.2/32
    DNS = 192.168.2.1

[Peer]
    PublicKey = <server-public-key>
    AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/1, 128.0.0.0/1
    Endpoint = <server-public-ip:port>

I can be able to ping 192.168.2.1 but not some other IP in same lan. But after doing ssh connection to 192.168.2.1, then i was able to connect. I kind of think it's a version problem as it was working few days back.
Thanks, in advance.

Of course, the water is not the expensive part of a cup of coffee. Coffee pods and gourmet coffee can be expensive, so consider the cost of stocking that new single serving coffee maker before you buy it.
You're expenses when running a coffee maker come in three forms. They include the electricity that is required to brew coffee, the coffee pot that are needed to contain the coffee and the coffee beans or ground coffee. Many coffee machines come with instructions to purchase a specific brand of coffee filters or pods. If your coffee maker only holds a certain type of pod, you are stuck with that part of the expense. Coffee pods come in several shapes and price ranges. Be sure to check your coffee maker's instructions before you buy it, and you will be assured that you can be flexible when it comes to coffee types.
Most coffee pots come in packages of 16 to 20 pods. This means that you are getting 16 to 20 cups of coffee on a purchase of these packages.Gourmet coffee maker price will be more expensive, as will most flavor coffee pods. Consider the cost of keeping your coffee machine brewing before you buy!
Similar to buying other kitchen appliances, you should always check the features and options of the coffee makers before making a purchase. Here are few advantages and disadvantages of the different type of coffee makers to help you select the best one to fit your coffee needs.
Ground Coffee Machine: This traditional coffee maker used to make a wide variety of ground coffee. This machine is cheaper and more flexible than the other two. The strength of the coffee is fairly adjustable.
Bean To Cup Coffee Machine: The behind this machine allows the user to have fresh coffee with the much easier operation. This machine have in-built grinder.

Whether you have a large house or a tiny apartment, counter space is always at a premium. When you decided to buy a single cup coffee maker, you have already chosen one of the smallest of all coffeemaker appliances. Single cup coffee makers have a few tricks that make them even more counter-space friendly than even the smallest of appliances.
The space used by the base of the coffee maker is designed to stabilize the appliance and hold your mug steady. Most single-serving coffeemakers have a base that is around 6 to 8 inches wide. This gives you plenty of space for even the biggest mug in your cabinet. Always remind that you will want a bigger cup of coffee occasionally, so having an adjustable cup size is remarkably handy.
The single cup coffee maker is easy to move and store because it does not have the heavy water reservoir that comes with many larger models. With an average weight of fewer than 2 pounds, a single serving coffeemaker is just the right size and weight for a kitchen with little space.
When you are considering your purchase of a single serving coffee maker, you will want to be sure to check out power consumption. With the hike in the cost of electricity these days, you do not want to make a buy that sits on your counter and costs you extra money. Considering the coffee maker's power consumption can save you money in the long run.
Many single serving coffee makers come with the option of a sleep mode or sleep timer. When your coffee machine is sitting on the counter, and it is plugged into the wall, it is consuming electricity. This is sometimes hard to imagine since the coffee maker is not doing anything for much of the day. Unfortunately, while that coffee maker is waiting for you to want a cup of coffee, it is stealing money from your wallet. The average coffee maker machine can draw almost eight hundred watts of electricity while in use. As long as that cup warmer is warming, the coffee maker is drawing power.
When you want to get your morning started quickly, a single serving coffee maker is a perfect appliance. Rather than waiting for a long brew cycle to complete, these single cup coffee makers have speedy starts and finishes. Your steaming cup of coffee can be ready in less than a minute with some of these fast little machines. What should you look for when purchasing a single cup coffee maker? Speed and ease of use!
All single-serving coffeemakers come with a manual. Look for the coffeemaker with a "quick start" manual to get the speediest cup of coffee for your morning. Fast starts allow the user to pour a cup of water into the coffeemaker, add coffee in the form of grounds or pods and then press the "start" button. It is as simple as that to create the perfect cup of coffee.
Ease of use and speed go hand-in-hand in the coffeemaker world. Remember that the quick start in the morning is the easiest way to get your coffee maker brewing. Many of the pricier models offer brewing timers that allow you to avoid even the minimum of setup in the morning. With a timer, you can add coffee and water to the coffeemaker at night before you go to bed. In the morning, the espresso coffee machine turns itself on and brews your coffee. Ease of use will extend to the cleaning process, so remember to look at your coffeemaker model carefully before purchasing. You will want to choose a model with a surface material that is simple to clean.
Brew & Temperature selectors —select your wanted brew amount, power, and temperature.
Pause 'n Serve —sneak a cup before the end of the brewing process.
A thermal carafe/mug can keep the coffee hot for hours, which makes it one of the must-have features. Drip style coffee makers usually come with a carafe or thermal mug, while single cup coffee makers and French presses usually don't.
A coffee pod is a pre-packed ground coffee, which looks like a tea bag, already measured and pre-tamped, and with an own filter. It decreases the time needed and simplifies the process of brewing coffee. Thus a coffee maker that is compatible with this makes serving coffee more convenient and easier.
Of course, your single cup coffee maker is going to be easy to clean. Who is going to make a single cup of coffee and then spend 20 minutes scrubbing the coffeemaker? These coffeemakers are designed to be simple to use and simple to clean. Keeping a few simple items in mind when choosing your single cup coffee maker will save plenty of headaches down the road.
To begin, you will want to choose a coffee maker with a removable and dishwasher safe drip tray. This will make a large difference when it comes to clean up time because you can just pop the tray out of the coffeemaker and into the dishwasher. If the drip tray is not removable, make sure that it is made of a material that is easy to clean. Hard plastic, ceramic and stainless steel are all excellent choices when it comes to drip tray materials.
If possible, choose a coffeemaker with a removable water reservoir. This will save you plenty of time and aggravation when it comes to cleaning the coffeemaker. Even though it holds only a single cup, coffee machines tend to be a bear to clean when that reservoir is attached to the body of the machine.
Keep in mind that repeated use creates wear on flimsy plastic parts of a coffeemaker. Putting a little effort into inspecting for quality materials will give you a coffee machine that lasts for years. You use your coffeemaker every single day, so make sure that it is durable enough to take the heat.
You might not imagine that you would need to consider the capacity of a single serving coffee maker. A cup is a cup, right? Not really! A cup might be that coffee mug that you have in your cabinet, or it could be a 20-ounce travel mug that gives you your coffee fix on the commute to work. Considering the capacity of your single serving coffee maker will save you the cost of having to double your coffee supplies when you want a larger cup of coffee.
The variable cup size option on a single serving coffee maker is extremely handy. This feature allows the user to select the perfect cup size and coffee strength for their individual preference. You can calibrate the amount of water that you would like and vary this amount according to your cup or mug size. For larger travel mugs, this option is indispensable. Many of the coffee makers without this option have a limited height between the spray nozzle and the drip tray.
Remember that you may want to make beverages other than coffee with your coffee maker. Choosing a single serving coffee maker with a larger water reservoir will give you the flexibility to create a delicious home-brewed cup of iced tea or hot cocoa, as well as coffee. The extra space is also perfect when you do not like strong coffee. Using a larger water reservoir, you can get two cups of coffee from a single coffee pod.
Coffee makers make coffee, of course. A single serving coffee maker can also be used to create those hot drinks that get you through the chilly winter months. Surprisingly, a single serving coffee maker can also be used to make some fantastic cold drinks, as well.
For a delicious and refreshing glass of iced tea, the single serving coffee maker is a perfect choice. Brewed tea is much tastier than the powdered version, and the varieties will amaze you. From sweet old-fashioned iced tea to a soft mint tea, the single serving coffee maker brews them all. Even green tea or jasmine tea taste better when freshly brewed and poured over ice.
Your single serving coffee maker doubles as an espresso machine when you need that extra kick of caffeine. From flavored coffees to hot and rich espresso, there are hundreds of choices for both hot and cold drinks that can be created in a coffee maker. The best part of this process is that you are not wasting ingredients on a giant pot of coffee or tea. You can choose some of the pricier coffee and tea products without breaking your budget.
When you choose your single serving coffee maker, you will be amazed at the huge variety of coffee choices that are available to you. From flavored to dry roasted to pod coffees, the choices are endless. Many of the most popular coffee choices are now accessible in those great little coffee pods.
Flavored coffee is very trendy and is a delicious way to explore the world of coffee. You can choose from flavorings like chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut or toasted pecan to satisfy your coffee urges and your sweet tooth at the same time. Flavored coffee pods are so much fun to choose that many companies offer "mix and match" options. You can pick one of each flavor or choose a batch of a single flavor. Next time you order coffee take a look at the fantastic flavor choices.
After you buy single serving coffee maker, your next item of purchase will be the coffee. This opens a whole world of options for the coffee buyer. There are hundreds of roasts, flavors and styles of coffee for any taste. Choosing the way your coffee will enter your coffee maker will be the first item on your coffee buying agenda.
Coffee pods are an awesome new addition to the single serving coffee maker world. These handy little items dispense exactly the right amount of coffee in a tiny round or flat package. The upside of coffee pods is the complete ease of use that they provide. You just remove the pod from its package and place it into the receiving tray on the coffee maker. Press the brew button and watch your coffee appear. Once the brew cycle is finished, you can remove the pod and toss it right into the garbage. Coffee pods come in a huge variety of flavors, and in any roasting style that you can imagine. The downside to the pods is their cost. This handy package comes with a price, and that price is a bit higher than the average coffee bean purchase.
Coffee beans are the basis of any good cup of coffee. When you have a single serving coffee maker, you can always choose beans rather than Pods for your coffee. Always remind that if you buy whole beans, you also require a grinder including coffee filters to get those beans ready for the maker. Coffee beans tend to be less expensive to buy than coffee pods, but the added material and clean up might offset that cost.
With the advent of coffee makers now everyone can enjoy the cup of energy and happiness instantly. These products give the user kitchen a professional mystique. The coffee lovers must add this cookware to their kitchen gallery to experience the freshness and taste very swiftly. Everyone has their own choice of priority; the best coffee makers are not the ones which cost the user the highest but the one which are simpler, convenient and durable.


The Davis Joint Unified School District (DJUSD) is committed to teaching students the computer skills needed to succeed in a digital economy. When growing demand prompted North Davis Elementary to expand its computer science program, DJUSD teamed with American Modular systems (AMS) to design and construct a permanent high tech facility on the school's Davis campus. AMS created a quiet, comfortable, high performance building design that not only supports continued growth at North Davis, but also can be replicated quickly and cost-effectively on K-12 campuses throughout the District. Two Gen7 modular classroom wings give North Davis four spacious new classrooms, each designed for 21st century learning with open-concept flex-space and a dedicated computer counter along the back wall.
Though streamlined in design, the North Davis Gen7s include many sustainable features that were budget-friendly to install and offer long-term health and cost benefits. Premium acoustics keep the building whisper-quiet, while strategic use of daylighting and LEDs alleviate the distracting flicker and noise of fluorescent lights—all instrumental in creating a productive learning environment. A custom canopy/rain ladder configuration shades pedestrian walkways, reducing heat and glare inside the buildings, in addition to providing weather protection for students. To eliminate mechanical noise, AMS installed a high efficiency HVAC package unit with no condenser; sited indoors, the system is safe from vandalism and eliminates the need for pads obstructing the walkways. Upgraded electrical future-proofs the building, efficiently powering multiple computers and digital devices, which can be stored and charged in a secure cabinet—a convenient feature for a computer-focused learning space.

The distance learning system is the fruit of years of work to make quantum leaps in the education system under the directives of the wise leadership. It is an educational vision that seeks to make the Emirati School at the forefront, thanks to its diverse, distinctive and effective learning environments and modern practices that serve the elements of the educational process and provide a fertile environment for continuing life-long learning.
applying smart learning in schools and higher education institutions is a safety valve for the continuity of education in the event of any developments, as was the case with the outbreak of COVID-19.
By this philosophy, the MoE aims at achieving the country's future agenda and centennial 2071 and investing in technological enablers that have become a government and national approach to serve the society and achieve the desired development, thereby adding to the capabilities and outputs of the Emirati School in light of the accelerating pace of learning-based global competitiveness

The students are joining a two-week virtual summer training program for 2020 where they will be trained by a group of Emirati School teachers who have been trained in the skills of diplomacy and Model United Nations.
Specialized student clubs have been established to train the students in their schools and speakers from the Emirates Diplomatic Academy have also been hosted. The Ministry of Education has been implementing this program through various sessions that simulate basic diplomacy tools such as research, discourse-building and Model United Nations. In addition, a group of experts in this field have been recruited to provide the skillful content required for this stream. Since its launch, the program has attracted a large number of students in view of its importance for enabling students to acquire the skills necessary for university and future studies.

S. African farmworkers'
strike for wages 'not over'

Farmworkers in Wolseley, South Africa, Nov. 15, ignore call by government and officials of some unions to suspend strike for two weeks while labor ministry reviews minimum wage.
BY SETH GALINSKY
Thousands of farmworkers in South Africa's Western Cape are continuing their strike despite the Nov. 14 announcement by the South African minister of labor of an agreement with union officials and farmworker aid organizations for a two-week suspension.
Hundreds of farmworkers have been arrested and charged with "public violence."
"The strike is not over," farmworker Mandla Betshe told Agence France-Presse the next day, in a video posted on YouTube. "We are going forward no matter what. We say 150 after deductions."
Betshe was referring to the strikers' demand to raise the minimum wage of 70 rand a day ($7.90) to 150 rand. Over the last year the price of sugar, oil and cereals rose more than 10 percent, and the price of mealie meal, the region's basic food staple, has jumped as much as 63.9 percent. But the minimum wage went up only 5 rand.
After the strike began Nov. 5, farm owners offered to raise the minimum wage to 80 rand, claiming any more would force them out of business.
"The wages are far too little. The prices of milk, of mealie meal, of sugar are going up," Banga Behane, a pseudonym for a Zimbabwean immigrant who asked that his real name not be used for fear of reprisals, said in a phone interview Nov. 18. "This farm grows lemons, oranges and persimmons for export. The farmers drive the latest model cars, expensive cars. Look at the type of houses they live in. They can afford to pay."
Behane, a supervisor at a farm in De Doorns, earns 70 rand a day. Behane said he joined the strike because "if you cannot help the people you work with, you must join them."
Estimates on the number of farmworkers in the Western Cape range from 120,000 to 200,000. While most are South African natives, there are also thousands of immigrants from Zimbabwe and Lesotho. The heart of the strike has been in the grape vineyards, but the province is also a major producer of peaches, citrus and wheat.
"One of the biggest challenges the workers face is labor brokering," Mercia Andrews, a spokesperson for Mawubuye, a group that works with small farmers and farmworkers, told the Militant. "The brokers bring in workers who don't get housing and probably earn 50 or 60 rand a day because the labor broker takes his cut. They live in the informal settlements."
"The worker who lives on the farm is dependent on the farmer for housing and for transport into town to buy food as there's no public transport in many rural areas," Andrews said. "They buy food from the farmer's small shop. The farmer sometimes deducts all this from the workers' pay."
"The farmers try to exploit the situation of many of the foreign-born workers," said Anthony Muteti, a community organizer with People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty, a group that works with immigrant workers. "They try to get them to accept any kind of work at any kind of wages. By paying different wages they try to divide the farmworkers by nationality."
After the strike started a coalition of unions, farmworker committees, and nongovernmental organizations joined together to support the workers' demands. The coalition includes the Congress of South African Trade Unions, which is allied with the African National Congress government; the Commercial, Stevedoring, Agricultural and Allied Workers' Union, which is allied with the Democratic Left Front, an opposition coalition; Women on Farms Project; Mawubuye and other organizations.
About a week into the strike, COSATU and some coalition members called for a suspension of the walkout for two weeks while the government reviews the minimum wage. Mawubuye and other coalition members opposed the suspension.
"Very few workers are in the unions. Of all these workers that we managed to address as part of getting them to understand the need to go back to work, some have gone back but the majority have rejected the plea," Katishi Masemola, general secretary of the Food and Allied Workers Union, a COSATU-member union, told the Militant. He also noted the impact of strikes by 100,000 mine workers across the country that peaked in October.
"Let me say that the spark that gave rise to the widespread strikes in the mining sector found its expression in De Doorns and then spread like wildfire throughout the Western Cape," Masemola said.
The strike is a "wake-up call," he stated. "De Doorns, where this strike started, is the same farming town where four years ago there were xenophobic attacks by local South Africans on foreign nationals, accusing them of working cheap or taking jobs that undercut wages. Now local as well as foreign workers from Zimbabwe and Lesotho have joined forces and united and sustained this strike action."
"Never before has there been a strike in the farming industry of this nature," Carmen Louw, a spokesperson for Women on Farms Project, said in a phone interview. "The farming industry will never be the same."
Platinum miners end strike
Meanwhile, 28,000 miners at Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) in the North West province returned to work Nov. 15 after a two-month strike.
After repeatedly stating it had dismissed the strikers, Amplats finally agreed to a one-time payment of 4,500 rand to each miner, a pretax wage increase of 400 rand a month and to take no reprisals against returning strikers.
While this is far short of the 8,000 rand a month increase that strikers had demanded, "every worker is happy because this is the first time since a 1996 strike that we won something at Amplats," miner and strike committee member Evans Ramokga said in a phone interview. "In 1996 the strikers were dismissed, some of them jailed.
"We must retreat to organize more, to bring up more strategies. We still have a lot of work to do."
