if every field test of vaccine x shows it is 20% effective, the results are reliable. this has nothing to do with how effective the vaccine is. reliability is not a word i would use in describing any vaccine. if every field test of vaccine y shows it is 95% effective, the results are reliable. i also think that the more effective vaccine y would be described as better. if field tests of vaccine z show results of 60-90% effective, the results are unreliable, but vaccine z could be said to be better than vaccine x, assuming all other factors including side effects remain similar.
reliable has a totally different meaning in research. and totally dirrerent to effective. if a watch is always 10 minutes slow it is reliable as you can rely on it to be 10 slow. not accurate but reliable. my grandad had a reliable bladder, he always pee at 6am, problem was he didn't get up until 8. reliable is not always good.
the days of wasteful business lunches are over. by decree. the tonyaod post is 9 years ago, most of the thread is over 8 years old. having resurected an old thread, i wonder if we can expect a serving of spam?
if a student cant learn the abc they should be in a differnet class to the students who are doing advanced grammar. the stuff i wasnt good at, i was in the appropriate stream. horses for courses. spending time with every kid is right minded for the public sector. but not for private sector. in private sector people pay extra for their bright kids to excell, but if you yolk a trap horse and a cart horse together, you aint gonna fair well. put cart horses together with carts and let them do what cart horses do best. put trap horses with trap horses etc. that is the best solution for all the horses coz both can then excell at what they are good at. there are kids who could be bloody good artisans trying to fit in the shoes of a banker and learning how to fail, becoming demotivated bored and then just causing problems. waste of everyones time and other resources.
tryin to turn them around is what eats up all the efort with kids who often lack ability. some people is good at maths, others is good at art, others is good and languages. others get kicked out of chinese school for being whatever, underachievers and then wind up on another harder prog where they continue to underachive. and spending all the time trying to turn them around when there are other students who are fast learners with real talent not getting teacher time. remeber in this life that there are cart horses and race horses, all kids are not equal, trying to push kids through a system they are not up to, is like entering my old ford into the dakar rally.
why are kids who got a low score in zhongkao, with no more than beginners english, who cant work with ielts foundation books, on go abroad study programmes where they have to get up to ielts 5.5 or above, when even after a year they are not even at ielts 3. in the same class as kids with already ielts 5 level, studying history, social, studies, science, maths, geography in english language. some of the wasted resources are the classroom space, the seat they are sitting on and oxygen,
i worked in a school like that. couldnt spend time with the good kids as too busy managing the forkwits. had the same in state run school back home. no child left behind, ffs
Swedish design ideas, kunming build quality. i have bought lots of ikea stuff in the past, the furniture at #11 are poor facsimiles of genuine item. Yes stuff is affordable, but poorly made and overpriced in my opinion. we took a good look around and looked closely at build quality and walked away.
It might be worth identifying which Prague venue you are reviewing.
When I first arrived in Kunming I did a tour of Wenlin Jie. I did't like the look of Prague.
More recently I have used Prague in Beichen a lot and I like it.
Ref the comment @nonsecond about being made sick from raw apple, WTF?
