A hidden camera documentary revealed issues like laziness, sexism, and disregard for public safety within the Leicestershire, England police department. To address this, a citizens committee and public forums were established to give the public a voice and hold the police accountable. Additionally, all police officers will undergo sensitivity and ethics training over 4 months to improve policing practices and rebuild public trust. Progress will be evaluated based on officers completing the training, reduced reports of sexism, and positive feedback in the committee meetings and forums.
Patterns rely on repetition and rhythm, and can be found in architecture, art, and nature. They impose order and structure through repeating forms and motifs. Examples include stripes, zigzags, and herringbone patterns in architecture from places like the Alhambra in Spain and the Doge's Palace in Venice. The artist M.C. Escher also explored mathematical and geometric patterns in works like Circle Limit I-IV. Creating patterns involves determining a structure, interval of repetition, and basic visual motif.
The document provides an agenda for a presentation on hybrid learning tools for Salem College. It outlines various containers, synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, and ways to provide feedback and gather resources. Specific tools mentioned include Moodle, Netvibes, blogs, wikis, Ning, instant messaging, chat, Skype, discussion boards, Google Docs, and Twitter. The presentation aims to introduce millennials to these tools and containers to facilitate good pedagogy using available technologies.

Frederick Herzberg developed the two-factor theory of motivation, which identified motivational factors and hygiene factors in the workplace. The motivational factors - achievement, recognition, the work itself, responsibility, promotion, and growth - provide satisfaction to employees. The hygiene factors - salary, company policies, relationships, working conditions, supervision, and job security - do not provide satisfaction on their own but are necessary to avoid dissatisfaction. Herzberg argued that high levels of both motivational and hygiene factors create the ideal work environment where employees have few complaints and work efficiently.
This document discusses inclusive learning and reflections on personal and professional experiences with inclusion. It covers several key topics related to inclusion such as the Salamanca Statement, the Index for Inclusion, special educational needs, belongingness, teaching and learning transformations, community and courage. The document references many works and concludes that we need courage to promote inclusion.
Povo é povo, sempre subserviente e quando não hipnotizado pelas auréolas nos santificados no poderio. Curva-se lenta e dócil ao que se passa ao redor e se exulta, mesmo ante erros e corrupções, num longo e perpétuo saudar na derrocada do seu país. Lastimável !
The document discusses key issues related to obstacles faced by migrants in the United States. It asks questions about historical quota and national origin laws from the 1920s that restricted immigration, and how the 1965 Immigration Act changed these quota laws. It also asks how immigration law was further changed in 1978. Finally, it asks the reader to identify three groups given preference in current U.S. immigration law and prepare notes on three case studies of immigration.
The document proposes creating a documentary exploring body image issues among teens ages 16-18. It would interview real teens about their self-confidence levels and ways to improve confidence. It would also discuss public opinions on why teens have low self-esteem. The document outlines equipment rental costs for a camera, tripod, lighting, microphone and studio space. It proposes hiring a van and catering take-out for a small film crew. The goal is to help change the way teens see themselves.
Cellular phones, also known as mobile phones, allow users to make telephone calls from many areas without being near a landline. They work by dividing geographic areas into sections called cells and transferring calls between cells as users move around. While cellular phones provide connectivity on the go and enable communication in remote or dangerous areas, overuse has been linked to health issues like tumors and loss of memory. They also pose security risks if misused by criminals for illegal activities like hijackings.

This document discusses teaching strategies and effective teaching. It provides information on concepts like coverage versus uncoverage, with uncoverage focusing on designing experiences to interact with insights and knowledge. Some strategies that uncover knowledge are advance organizers, building vocabulary, graphic organizers, and chunking information. The document also references Robert Marzano's research on effective teaching strategies, including advance organizers, building vocabulary, graphic organizers, chunking information, summarizing and note taking, and identifying similarities and differences. Specific examples are given around building vocabulary, summarizing and note taking, and distinguishing characteristics of understandings from Understanding by Design.
This document provides an overview of tools and strategies for integrating technology into education to narrow the digital divide. It discusses fear and lack of understanding as barriers and surveys youth experiences. Various online tools are presented for classroom use, distribution, posting, discussion and across skills like reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and grammar. Finding and sharing resources through social media like Twitter is also covered. The conclusion emphasizes building an online classroom with student assistance, looking for useful tools, and sharing "tech recipes" while staying connected.
Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (LCCCG) was established in 2011 and builds on previous models of GP engagement in the city. The LCCCG is made up of four localities whose GP board members are elected by practices within their localities. Board members are responsible for specific areas and work with nurses, lay members, and care representatives. The LCCCG aims to provide equitable access to services across the city through locality boards, prescribing budgets, and quality reviews. Opportunities for the LCCCG include initiatives under the QIPP program as well as improving contracts with local providers, while challenges include ongoing guidance from the Health and Social Care Bill and managing potential conflicts of interest. The LCCCG engages
This document discusses key concepts that are shared between education and social work, which the author argues form the core of social pedagogy. Some examples of shared concepts are developing motivation in pupils/clients, perspective shifting, and the role of expectations in educational and therapeutic meetings. The author argues these concepts are especially significant in certain educational settings and constitute the essence of social pedagogy in both academic and practical terms. The document then examines several of these shared concepts in more depth, including the pedagogical meeting, developing motivation, and diagnostic competence.
This very short document contains three lines of text. Each line consists of the letter "E" repeated twice with a space in between. The document conveys minimal information due to its brevity and repetitive structure.
The document provides examples of triangles and non-triangles, with repetition of the terms "Examples" and "Non-" but no clear definitions or distinguishing characteristics. It requests teacher help at the end, suggesting it is an incomplete or flawed document in need of an educator's assistance.
L&T Finance was incorporated in 2008 as a finance holding company that offers diverse financial products and services. An analysis of L&T Finance's IPO used ratios, profit/loss statements, and balance sheets. The analysis showed that from 2007-2011, the company's share capital grew 2 times to Rs. 121.77 crores, and reserves increased over 20 times to Rs. 21,334.15 crores. Profitability ratios fluctuated but increased overall, while solvency and liquidity improved with decreasing debt levels. The company saw strong growth in total income and assets, demonstrating efficient use of resources. This positions L&T Finance well for investors seeking a financially sound company.

The Biodiversity Heritage Library: an Open Global Resource of Literature for ...William Ulate
As part of the scientific method and peer review followed by scientists and particularly taxonomists, it is essential to be able to access the specimens and original publications used to describe a new species and published in books and journals for more than three centuries ago.
The Global BHL (Biodiversity Heritage Library) is a cooperative network of autonomous organizations and institutions that operate programs and projects to support the goal of making biodiversity literature available to all through open access. Currently, the European Commission, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Museum Victoria as part of the Atlas of Living Australia, SciELO Brazil, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt have all created regional BHL nodes. These projects are working together to share content, protocols, services, and digital preservation practices to support research, policy and conservation through appropriate repatriation of scientific information.
In recent years, several biodiversity informatics initiatives have been promoted in Africa by different donors. One of them, the JRS Foundation, supported in November 2011, that ten African librarians, biologists, computer scientists, publishers and students were brought together in Chicago, USA during the Life and Literature Conference, to decide on African needs and objectives related to Biodiversity Literature Digitization.
A follow-up organizational meeting will take place in June 2012, to collaborate on the development of a BHL node for Africa, an open global resource of literature for African biodiversity scientists. Among the topics to be covered are the sharing of previous experiences organizing a BHL Node following on the successful model developed in Australia and Brazil, the appropriate metadata delivery infrastructure, how to coordinate the scanning and synchronize the repositories of titles that are important for biodiversity scientists in Africa, including gray literature and publications produced within the continent.

Historic field diaries chronicle the expeditions undertaken over time to explore and discover the natural history of the world. They provide invaluable insights into past species distribution and abundance, as well as the trials and wonders experienced on historic expeditions. However, despite the wealth of information they contain, field diaries are a hugely underutilised resource. This paper will discuss why this is the case and how, with the help of crowd-sourced volunteers, the field diaries in Museum Victoria's collection are being made more accessible. Cataloguing, digitisation and transcription procedures are detailed, together with how this content is being put online.

The Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG), also known as the Taxonomic Databases Working Group, is a non-profit scientific and educational association that is affiliated with the International Union of Biological Sciences. TDWG was formed to establish international collaboration among biological database projects and related services. Promoting the wider and more effective dissemination of information about the World's heritage of biological organisms for the benefit of the world at large, TDWG focuses on the development of standards for the exchange of biological/biodiversity data. TDWG promotes the use of standards through the most appropriate and effective means and acts as a forum for discussion through holding meetings and through publications, especially the recently launched open access journal, Biodiversity Information Standards and Science. This presentation will focus on areas of possible collaboration by the larger networked information community around bioinformatic standards, areas where TDWG collaborates with other biodiversity organizations such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
