Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
Â
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Â
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying itâs good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation thatâs least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state theyâre comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
⢠The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
⢠The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate âany matterâ at âany timeâ under House Rule X.
⢠The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub

SUBMITTED BY, NEETHU MENONP16200 PGBM B
Nelson Mandela
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was the first black president of South Africa and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election. Rolihlahla
Mandela was born into the Madiba clan in the village of Mvezo, Transkei, on 18 July 1918. Mandela did his B.A and LLB from Cape Town.
Hearing the stories from his elders, he also wanted to contribute his level best to the freedom struggle of his people.

They possessed the strong desire to fulfil their selfâactualization needs of being free from years of segregation and discrimination. Correspondingly,
they felt empowered to adopt the necessary measures to achieve their common goals, and were willing to move by guidance given by their leader. In
addition to the characteristics of Mandela and his followers, situational characteristics also facilitated Mandela's success as a transformational leader.
Along with domestic support, this system of international backing culminated in his eventual release and inauguration as South Africa's first black
president on May 10, 1994. Mandela also earned high respect by his people. By this way it was easy for him to gain trust and positively influence

2. Character Sketch Of Telemachus
Homer's first four books of the epic poem The Odyssey, translated by Robert Fagles, introduces a seemingly weak boy struggling with his identity,
who goes on a journey to find his missing father. During his 20 year absence, the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus, is absent in parenting his
son Telemachus. The young prince is deeply affected by his fatherless upbringing, and thus suitors take advantage ofOdysseus's absence, infesting
Odysseus' home, eating away his legacy, all while attempting to steal away his wife, Penelope. Telemachus fails to act upon his authoritative
responsibilities on his father's behalf. Telemachus was never raised with the proper skills to become a leader, leaving him helpless in the face of
danger of his kingdom....show more content...
Homer begins his first book by introducing a young, timid Telemachus which is portrayed through his use of imagery to describe how Telemachus
reacts to the environment surrounding him. At first, Telemachus is not ready to approach his mother's suitors despite his hatred for their intrusion of
his life. He goes as far as sitting among them, regardless of his growing hate for them because he does not yet possess the bravery to tackle the issue at
hand. Homer emphasizes the conflict within Telemachus when he states "...Prince Telemachus, sitting among the suitors, heart obsessed with grief. He
could almost see his magnificent father, here in the mind's eyeâ if only he might drop from the clouds and drive these suitors all in a rout throughout
the halls... and rule his own domains!(1.132â137)" Telemachus never truly grew up, he still believes his kingdom is his father's domain, forgetting
that Odysseus has been gone for 20 years . In reality Telemachus has the obligation to rule as the man of the house and the heir to the throne, instead he
mopes and does nothing more than wish for his father to come back. Homer uses personification while

The monologue of the Prince closes the play of Romeo and Juliet. It also puts an end to the romance between Romeo and Juliet and the feuds between
Capulets and Montagues. Although the speech is very simple, it is significant enough to sum up the whole play with the central theme of love and
hatred In this romantic tragedy, it starts off with a fight between the two households, the Capulet and the Montague. Then it shows us the intimate

In Romeo and Juliet, the character of Prince is upholding this position very well. However, there is one thing very disconcerting about the character
of Prince and that is he always underestimates the conflict between the two households. The rebellious subject that he first introduces in the play. He
does not punish Tybalt and Benvolio right away. He gives them one more chance, allowing their hatred to each other intensifies which boosts Tybalt
confidence in challenging and even threatening to kill Romeo because of his pursuit with Juliet later on. As for the death of Tybalt and Mercutio, he
does not execute Romeo as well. Instead he banishes him as if death of the two characters is not persuasive enough to let him make a more
determinative judgement. What if he executes Romeo, will the family feud ends earlier? Will Juliet be willing to be with Paris when there is no
choice left? There are too many possibilities. It suggests how the death of the two main characters be prevented if the Prince makes a more fatal

anger and helplessness when Kunti come to a decision that all her five sons should join in matrimony with Draupadi. She presumes that Arjun would
stand up for her and speak up for her that she is only married to him. But Draupadi is disillusioned by him for he abides by his mother's wish and
doesn't say anything. While Draupadi's father, brother and the Pandavas examine about the practicality of Draupadi espousing five brothers, their focal
point is family honour and customs. Not even a single person gives eminence to Draupadi's desires. The depiction of Draupadi as an angry woman in a
man's world brings out the status of women in a patriarchal society where women's wishes are not considered as important. She justifies this lifetime

8. Character Sketch Of The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby, during what people called the "jazz age" or "roaring 20's", there was one man with one desire, his name was Jay Gatsby. Nick
Carraway (the narrator) is the complete opposite of Gatsby, Nick is reserved and quiet, he doesn't flaunt what he has, but rather he is the only one
observant enough to truly get to know Gatsby. Nick from the start sees Gatsby's as a guy that has a presence you come across once in your life and
Gatsby's undeniable hope is something he's never seen in anyone, he knew Gatsby for who he really was and not the rumors. Gatsby was the greatest
and the worst thing for Nick Carraway to come across. It all started with an invitation from Gatsby himself inviting Nick to one of his extravagant
parties. Nick ended up attending but felt very out of place as he described in the book ".....I slunk off in the direction of the cocktail tableâthe only
place in the garden where a single man could linger without looking purposeless and alone"(pg 42). This shows that he wasn't familiar with anyone
at the party he had seen so far. He had been asking around where Mr. Gatsby was but it seemed that no one had met him or knew much but only what
they have heard about him. It was Nicks mission to met Gatsby and thank him for the invite. Finally Nick ran into a man and started to discuss how he
seemed to be the only person invited to the party, and that he wishes that he could find the host because nobody seemed to know him. A few seconds
later Nick felt the

9. The Canterbury Tales Character Sketch
Author Geoffrey Chaucer describes inâdepth several characters who intend to embark on a religious pilgrimage in his piece The Canterbury Tales.
One of the prominently featured characters is the Friar. The Friar is certainly one of the most unorthodox characters in the piece who is the antithesis
of the character qualities expected of a friar. Chaucer's description and implications reveal that the Friar is an adulterous, coldâhearted individual with a
disingenuous personality that is rooted in his selfâabsorbed nature. Chaucer's description of the Friar is quite extensive comparative to that of the other
pilgrims he discusses, allowing the reader to develop a complete picture of him. Throughout the description, Chaucer reveals the...show more content...
He reveals, "He was an easy man for absolution Where he looked forward to a contribution" (67 lines 218â219). The Friar blatantly contradicts his
calling to uphold Scripture by granting absolution in exchange for a bribe. This clearly indicates that the Friar is not concerned with the welfare of
others but rather is interested in profiting from their sins. The Friar's inconsiderate nature is further revealed by Chaucer when he describes how the
Friar would react to an encounter with a direly impoverished woman. Chaucer predicts, "Should a woman have no shoes against the snow, So pleasant
was his 'In principio' He would have her widow's mite before he went" (68 lines 245â247). It is quite uncommon to characterize a friar, whose duty it is
to minister to the poor, as an individual who would express no willingness to aid a woman in desperate poverty. Yet Chaucer describes the Friar as one
who would exhibit such an indifferent, coldâhearted response. In both of these scenarios, Chaucer illustrates the Friar's contrasting interactions with the
public and his lovers, which reveals his disingenuous personality. Not only does the discrepancy between public and private interactions indicate the
Friar's disingenuous personality, but also Chaucer's description of his behavior around those individuals who can offer him something. Chaucer
explains, "To deal with such riffraff; but with the rich, With sellers of

10. Twelfth Night Malvolio Essay
For this character sketch essay, I will be talking about Malvolio. Malvolio is a steward of Olivia's household in the book, Twelfth Night. Malvolio is
somewhat a middleâaged man who is tall, skinny and bald. Malvolio secretly has feelings for his lady Olivia but does not show it. Malvolio is a type
of man who follows the rules and will scold whoever breaks it. He is disliked by most characters for his rude and strict behavior, which brings him
trouble in the end.
In the book Twelfth Night, Shakespeare deepens our insight into Malvolio. Malvolio appears in 7 out of the 18 scenes in the play. Shakespeare uses
these scenes are opportunities to show Malvolio's character and behavior. Shakespeare shows us that Malvolio is very loyal to Olivia....show more
content...
These kinds of images help me define the character. Puritans are kinds of people that no one in the play, Twelfth Night, will like. This is evident
in the quote, "Marry, sir, sometimes he is a kind of puritan", said by Maria in act II, scene III. This shows me that Malvolio cannot be friends much
with anyone with an appearance and behavior like a puritan. A steward is a person who is employed on a large estate to oversee the other servants,
manage domestic concerns and keep the accounts. This helps me define that Malvolio has a big responsibility and position in Olivia's household.
Another image that would associate with Malvolio is a fool. This is evident because he falls for the love letter prank and dresses like a fool in an
indecent manner just to win Olivia's heart. He also falls for the trick when Feste disguises as Sir Topas then back to Feste and Malvolio is unaware of
that. The word somber also associates with him because he is mostly grave throughout the play. He rarely smiles until he finds out that Olivia "loves"
him.
This is my character sketch of Malvolio and as you can see, he is very unique and nothing like the other characters and has nothing in common with
them. Although he is considered one of the "bad guys" in the play, I feel like Malvolio is a man between good and bad. He tries to do what's right like
scolding Sir Toby for fooling around but he

11. Character Sketch Of Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk; in the epic he is described as an arrogant, selfish, powerful king that cannot be compared to anyone as an equal
because of his beauty, size and strength. Though he was handsome, strong and a god among people, he cared little for the well being of his people in
the contrary he felt that he needed to sleep with a man's wife before the husband. Odysseus the hero from the book The Odyssey was the ruler of Ithaca.
He was one of the most conspicuous Greek leaders that fought at the Trojan War. He was known for his bravery and unique way of fighting, he was
feared and respected. His return home turned in to an unforgettable journey as he struggled to return home because he pissed off the Gods. Odysseus
and his men took so long to find their way home because Zeus had become angry with the Greeks and pushed them off course, making it difficult for
them to return back to Ithaca. By the time he returned home to his wife, Odysseus had been away for 20 years, the war had taken ten years and the
journey home had taken another ten.
Gilgamesh was a very arrogant person and at times that arrogance led him to have little to no compassion for the people of Uruk. He was their king
but he did not protect his people, most feared him. He felt like he was superior to others due to the fact that he was twoâthirds god, which is the key to
all of his actions. This is also what sets him apart from the hero Odysseus. Gilgamesh changed his ways as a leader throughout his

"You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" tells about an
old man and his battle in the sea to catch the most colossal fish he's ever seen. The themes presented in this novel include the honor in struggle, defeat
and death. The protagonist in "The Old Man and the Sea" is a weak and gaunt, yet optimistic old fisherman named Santiago who hasn't caught any fish
for 84 days. In the novel, Santiago goes further out to the sea than he's ever been and he manages to hook an enormous marlin, facing the biggest trial
of his life; catching the marlin and taking it home without meeting his own death first. This trial reveals the extent of his strength as hinted in the quote
above. Through Santiago's endurance, perseverance and knowledge he proves to the reader that anyone is capable of achieving their ambitions even
when it seems impossible to do so.
Throughout the novel, Hemingway portrays his conception of the world in a way that shows the reader that death, destruction and pain are unavoidable
aspects of life. In this point of view, to survive through the cruelty of the world one can only depend on their endurance, which is shown significantly
within Santiago. While Santiago is out in the sea, he faces...show more content...

13. Character Sketch Of Tolstoy
2âTolstoy's Character. Tolstoy was a multi
âdimensional man. In his long career he had been a teacher and educational theorist, a philosopher and
social critic, a successful farmer and paterfamilias, a soldier, and a prophet. Above all, however, he was a great artist, and it is on his fiction that his
fame at present rests. The literary career of this "great writer of the Russian land" (as his contemporary Turgenev called him) may be divided into
three parts: the early period of literary apprenticeship (1851â63), the period of the great novels (1863â77), and the later period of preoccupation with
the message of his religious teaching (1878â1910). The works of the early period may be regarded as the "school" in which Tolstoy taught himself to
write. He isolated the themes and developed the literary...show more content...
His account focuses heavily on both sides' tactical successes and failures â from maneuvers in battle to how they handled occupied territory. Before the
French surrender, Pierre's brush with execution becomes a cutting satire of French bureaucracy, which functions so badly that Pierre is nearly
executed simply because a general was interrupted while he was deciding Pierre's sentence. However, the Russians also become objects of Tolstoy's
critique. He depicts disorganization and a lack of professionalism on both sides. The French failures are not limited to their ineffective bureaucracy.
"Since the battle of Borodino and the looting of Moscow," Tolstoy writes, "the French army had borne within itself, as it were, the chemical conditions
of its decomposition" Napoleon and his generals seem to have good intentions they order their men not to loot and treat the Russians they meet
respectfully. However, the privation and lack of discipline in the French army means that the foot soldiers eagerly and violently loot Moscow at their

English III
November 5, 2017
Hey Mr. Smith ;)
Beowulf literally translates to Bear Wolf to show how heroic and great he truly is. Beowulf starts his adventure by detaching a monster's arm from his
body using his bare hands. This event is only the beginning to an epic story full of battles and gallant adventures. The people that created the story of
Beowulf did so to entertain, but this also displays what they value most about a hero. Beowulf is courageous, gives back to his people, and inspires his
people.
Beowulf possesses unnatural strength and is not afraid of anything. He hears of Grendel plaguing Hrothgar's kingdom and people and he volunteers
to travel across the sea to the land of the Danes to find Grendel and stop his reign of terror. He proves his bravery when he declares that he will travel
across the sea to fight Grendel. "In his farâoff home Beowulf, Higlac's Follower and the strongest of the Geatsâgreater and stronger than anyone
anywhere in this worldâHeard how Grendel filled nights with horror And quickly commanded a boat be fitted out, Proclaiming that he'd go to that
famous king. Would sail across the sea to Hrothgar." (Lines 99â115) Beowulf says that he will go to a country where he has never been and has no ties
to just to rid them of a monster that was causing them trouble. And none of his people object to this decision because they know that he will erase
Grendel and have no problem doing it. The creators of this story place
