Teenagers often gather before going out dancing, called a "previa", where they drink alcohol which can lead to injuries, dangerous sexual behavior, health problems, and issues at school or with family and friends. Support groups like Narcotics Anonymous and Secular Organizations for Sobriety provide guidance and encouragement to help with addiction recovery and maintaining sobriety through a safe community to discuss challenges.

AA Meeting for Group Influence
It has been said that unity is a strength, and a single word can work miracles. It has been the sole foundation of social groups that started being formed across the nation in 1997, with the aim creating a social cohesion and helping certain individuals in their hour of need. Some groups focus on health matters; others focus on addiction while other concentrates on integrating old war and US Iraq War soldiers into the peaceful life in the society after having been psychologically affected by war. The Alcoholics Anonymous (The AA Group) is one among the many social gatherings of today. I noticed such when I first visited last Saturday.
Physical Arrangement
AA meetings can occur anywhere, in an open or a closed setting. The meeting I attended was in a community social hall. Individuals were arranged in rows of three, each row containing three seats. At the front, there was a raised platform like a dais with multiple public relations instruments, some musical instruments tables, and chairs. Usually, the members sat on the chairs, new members mixing with old members (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). The AA's committee members and other associates sat in front of the audience, with other representatives from other social organizations such as LifeRing Secular Recovery, Friends of Nature, Celebrate Recovery, and Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). It was a traditional group setting. However, one thing was unique. The walls were decorated with charts, fact maps, Sobriety Slogans, and timetables detailing the group’s upcoming activities.
The group’s composition was also unique. I had read from articles that in a majority of AA meetings, racial diversity is usually low, with sexes ranging at a ratio of 65%-35% male to female (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). However, this time, it was unique. The group seemed heterogeneous regarding ethnicity while the male to female sex ratio was 55% to 45%. This implies a racial integration and the breaking of traditional norms. In the past, the issue of alcoholism was stereotyped to men, with ladies having a small percentage. However, with the current rate of modernization, alcoholism is becoming a related problem for both genders (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). Again, it has always been traditionally known that the aged, preferably 47 years and above are burdened by alcoholism. However, the group member’s age ranged from 18-43years.
Purpose, Mission, and Goals
The primary purpose of AA is to create a group of individuals who share hopes, strengths and experience to solve common problems and also help others recover from alcoholism. AAs mission statements vary with regions (Suns ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. What is the “previa”
The previa is an use of teenagers consisting in a
group of them getting together before going out to
dance. In these meetings they use to drink alcohol.
They just want to hang out and prepare to have fun
during the upcoming night. The risk of this
meetings are:
Injuries or death
Dangerous sexual behavior
Health problems
Problems at school, with family and friends.
3. Support Groups
If you’re trying to give up an addiction, peer support
groups can be an invaluable source of guidance,
assistance, and encouragement. Groups are very
helpful, not only in maintaining sobriety, but also as a
safe place to get support and discuss challenges.
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is the most well-known
and widely available self-help group for drug addicts in
treatment and recovery. Narcotics Anonymous is open
to substance abuse problems of all kinds.
Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) is an
international organization that takes a science-based,
self-empowerment approach to abstinence and
recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
