The term ping chang xin is comprised of three characters which, when put together, refer roughly to "peace of mind" or "spiritual stability.“
Ping has numerous meanings, but the closest English equivalent is "level" or "even" as we would use it in saying that someone is "level-headed.”
Chang is more precise and means "always," "constant," or "continually.”
Xin is the character which means "heart" both figuratively and literally.
It refers not only to the actual organs which pumps blood, but to the emotions and character; the whole inner essence of the person.
Most of us define ourselves based on losses that have happened to us or mistakes we have made. We don’t know how to overcome these problems and change our perspective to create our lives for the better. Often, we don’t know what to do with those problems or our situation.

Brainworms often operate automatically, below our level of awareness.
Take notice of your repeating thoughts — are they positive affirmations, or the dreaded “worry loops” that lead to problems and burnout?
It will take some homework, but you can create positive brainworms to replace negative thoughts.
Earworms show us that our brain likes to put certain thoughts, words, and sounds on automatic replay.
With awareness and effort, you can change the channel, stop negative mental loops, and install a positive “I can do this!” brainworm instead.

Get Rid of Emotional Clutter: Part 1--Let Go of the Negative Emotions That Bl...Linda Pucci
We sabotage our success and happiness every day by hanging on to "emotional clutter"--those negative emotions and limiting beliefs formed from past experiences. This slideshow helps you understand how negative emotions turn into emotional clutter and how to change that by paying attention to the messages from your emotions.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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.

31. MIND, BODY AND EMOTION
For most of us, depression starts as a reaction to a tragedy or reversal in life.

At least 50% of those experiencing depression find that it comes back.
Depression forges a connection in the brain between sad mood, and negative thoughts,
so that even
normal sadness can reawaken major negative thoughts.
40. FEELINGS:
We think of feelings as the end point of depression -
“depressed, sad, low, blue, miserable, despondent, desperate…”
BUT they are also a starting point -
These feelings can then trigger powerful self critical thoughts and we turn on
ourselves.

You are walking along a familiar street and you see someone you know on the other

The other person makes no response

Almost all situations we meet are open to interpretation. Our world is like a silent
film, we each write our own commentary.
But our interpretation (which is not a fact) can strongly affect what happens next.
46. Many situations are ambiguous.
A = the facts
B = the interpretation
C = our reaction.
47. Many situations are ambiguous.
A = the facts

We are generally aware of A and C, but often we are unaware of B (the interpretation).
48. Many situations are ambiguous.

We are generally aware of A and C, but often we are unaware of B (the interpretation).
Our interpretations can lead to a whole stream of negative thoughts.
These thoughts feed depression.
49. Here’s an amazing thought:
“Unhappiness itself is not the problem!!!”.
50. Here’s an amazing thought:
“Unhappiness itself is not the problem!!!”.
“This is an inherent and unavoidable part of being alive.
It’s our negative, untrue views of ourselves that can be switched on by unhappy moods
that drags us down.
57. But it’s important to understand that
The weight loss/gain, tiredness, soreness feeds into negative moods, negative feelings,
negative thoughts…..
Stress is another unavoidable part of being alive.

Stress is another unavoidable part of being alive.
Originally our bodies were programmed for Fight or Flight. Our bodies produced
chemicals which would be needed and used up in the Fight or Flight.
Our minds now generate a million stress reactions. Our bodies produce to the chemicals
BUT we do not use them up….
59. Behaviour
Ultimately a lot of the thinking that accompanies depression comes down to core themes
of
INADEQUACY AND UNWORTHINESS
60. Behaviour
Ultimately a lot of the thinking that accompanies depression comes down to core themes
of
INADEQUACY AND UNWORTHINESS
These are thoughts THEY ARE NOT FACTS.
61. Behaviour
Ultimately a lot of the thinking that accompanies depression comes down to core themes
of
INADEQUACY AND UNWORTHINESS
These are thoughts THEY ARE NOT FACTS.
But these thoughts effect how we act, how we behave. If we believe them we become
less likely to pursue things we value, things we enjoy, things that enhance our life. This
behaviour then feeds depression…
62. So we have discussed that depression is not just about feeling unhappy.
It is tied into links and loops in
Feelings, Thoughts, Body Sensations and Behaviour.

The circumstances and processes which brought you to this, were serious and happened
over time. Undoing this will also take time and effort.
Be prepared to take this program seriously
Approach it as though your life depends on it….
Because in the true sense - it does!!
