Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
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
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 it’s 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 that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re 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
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.

Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid.
Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry.
✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack
1. Comparing Like The Sun And The Open Window
The two short stories "Like the Sun" by R. K. Narayan and "The Open Window" by Saki (H. H. Munro) the authors both use irony and paradox to
explore ideas of honesty and deception. In this essay I will present some details from the two stories and how they relate to the ideas of irony and
paradox. Both of the stories have different ways in which the characters go about using the two concepts. First of all, in the story "Like the Sun", a
form of irony could be found when Sekhar's Headmaster changes his mind about how long he has to get the tests graded. Originally, the Headmaster
says that Sekhar can have 10 days to get them all finished, but after Sekhar tells him the truth about how he sings, the Headmaster changes his mind

he is supposed to be talking with. The niece goes on into telling Mr. Nuttel a story about the tragedy that supposedly happened Mrs. Sappleton. She
tells him that the window is always kept open because her family and dog might walk in through it. The niece further explains the tragedy when
she tells him that Mrs. Sappleton's husband, dog, and her two young brothers went off for their day of shooting and they never came back. "They
were engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog," the niece told Mr. Nuttel. Mr. Nuttel got very suspicious and nervous and always looked out the
window. This shows a sense of irony because Mr. Nuttel was ordered by doctors "complete rest" and to stay calm at all times, and this story that the
niece told him was for sure to get him anxious and nervous. You could find paradox when Vera scares Mr. Nuttel. The following statement: "People
scare the ones who need the rest" could be an example of paradox from this specific

2. Summary : ' The Open Window '
1. Mr. Nuttel is visiting the country in order to calm his nerves and relax. In the story, The Open Window, it said, "I know how it will be,' his sister
said when he was preparing to migrate to his rural retreat; 'you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be
worse than ever from moping.'" Although the author did not state Mr. Nuttel's mental condition, Saki hinted to the readers of his disorder. For the
reason the disorder caused him to be secluded from the world, Mr. Nuttel's sister sent him to Mrs. Sappleton's house. Additionally, this detail is critical
to the story. The author included this part to show Mr. Nuttel has a nervous disorder that makes him a gullible character. As stated in the

Enough to make anyone lose their nerve.' Romance at short notice was her specialty." Through what Vera says, it shows she is a manipulative
character, who makes dishonest stories for her amusement. As a result of her telling anecdotes extemporaneously, it implies she might have told such
stories in the past. Nevertheless, one can infer when the author, Saki, said how romance at short was her specialty, it means making up stories is
Vera's forte. It appears Vera tells anecdote regarding her lunatic aunt because she is bored with her life.
3. Mr. Nuttel and Vera are similar by they both want attention. Vera tries to get the attention of others through her dishonest stories, and Mr. Nuttel
attempts to get the attention of others through his mental disorder. In the passage, Vera said to Mr. Nuttel, "'Out through thatwindow, three years ago to
a day, her husband and her two young brothers went off of their day's shooting. They never came back." Vera's made up stories show she is trying to
get the attention of Mr. Nuttel. She begins her anecdote with an upset beginning to lure the readers and Mr. Nuttel in. Also, on page 197, it reads,
"'...Do you know, sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will walk in through that window–"' Even though
she told this story to scare others, it seems as if she

3. Summary Of ' The Open Window '
Staring out the open window, Megan let the quiet breeze blow in and flow through her long, brown hair. This is where she would take in her last
moments of silence. She watched as the branches swayed in the wind, their leaves just starting to turn red and fall to the ground. She thought about
jumping, escaping reality, but instead turned and stepped away, dragging the fabric of her puffed up, white dress with her. Memories of hermother
started to flood in her mind, drowning her with unpleasant reflections. She wondered if she would be able to make it through the rest of the day.
Summer was approaching, Megan could tell by the way the warmth of the sun danced across her skin. She was finishing up her last week of
school, excited to see what summer adventures she would have this year with her parents. The school bell rang and all of the students ran to line up
in front of the door, screaming goodbyes at the teacher and at each other. One by one, they exited the classroom, made their way down the once
colorful halls, and then out the doors to greet whoever was picking them up that day. Megan searched the crowd of parents, sprinting towards her
father who was standing with his arms wide open. "How was your day Meg? Did you learn any essential information today?" her father had asked,
embracing her in his gigantic bear arms. From her view, her father stood like a tower, hovering over everything beneath him. Education, to him, was
important and he wanted to make sure she got

4. Mrs. Mallard's The Open Window
The open window was a curse to Mrs. Mallard, because before sitting at the it on the day of her husband's death, she did not know what it meant to
have the basic human right of freedom. "She was drinking in a very elixir of life through that open window," and she certainly must have become
addicted to it. One cannot taste the full extent of life, the possibilities that await outside the open window on a rainy day, and then simply be expected
to return to content confinement. It has been said that ignorance is bliss, and Mrs. Mallard was living in ignorance to what life could be without her
husband. Her life simply was as it was, and in the time period during which she lived, there wasn't any way of changing it, no purpose in dreaming

When learning about her so called "deceased" husband, Mrs. Mallard begins to gravitate towards the open window in her bedroom. As she stares

George Carlin once said "Tell people there's an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them
the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure." Some people don't believe anything unless they see or feel it. But other people believe in faith. In
this story Mr. Nuttle trusted to easily he should have thought before he believe the 15 year old. "The Open Window" is a must–read tale that teaches a
valuable life lesson through conflict that hold true even for today's teenager, do not believe everything you are told.

house was well when we got into the house it smelled bad the walls was yellow there was stains in the carpet and rat crap everywhere it was just so
nasty half of the doors didn't open easily. That for 500 a month is a no it wasn't in no good shape. So the owner telling us it was really good shape

8. Essay On The Open Window By Saki
CRITICAL ESSAY on The Open Window by Saki and on its Russian translation by Katerina Muravyova
The text is written by Hector Hugh Munro, who is better known by the pen name Saki. Saki was a late 19th – early 20th century British witty writer.
He is regarded as one of the greatest short story writers.
The Open Window is one of his short stories. Though the story is short it has a certain composition – we can divide it into four main parts.
In the first part, which may be called an introduction (завязка?), we meet our two main characters – Framton Nuttel and Vera. From the very
beginning the author gives a description of Vera, he calls her "a very self–possessed young lady of fifteen". Indeed, Vera is a lady, or– it will be better
to say, –¬¬¬ acts so as to be called a lady, but not just a lady –...show more content...
This appearance of the hunters is, once again, full of the epithets – the twilight is deepening, the voice is hoarse. That's the reason why Framton's retreat
was so fast. Through emphasis Saki brilliantly shows the Framton's fear. The same tone is saved by the translator.
Vera finishes her act with a new story, this time concerning Framton. Katerina Muravyova calls Vera "С
ЋРЅР°СЏ леди" – a young lady, which
Saki doesn't do, but which is actually alright – Vera is not a frightened child anymore– once again she is a calm dignified self–possessed lady. The
translator catches it.
To conclude we must agree that Saki is truly an excellent short–story writer. The Open Window is a small piece and yet it is full of figures of speech.
The author creates an ironical mood through these figures and we clearly imagine the main characters – how they speak, how they act, what they are.
The translation can't be called perfect. Though Katerina Muravyova tried to keep an ironic mood of the story, the translation itself lacks some
vividness. The general impression of the translation is so that it is too word–to–word

9. Like The Sun And The Open Window
In the two stories "Like the Sun" and "The Open Window" the two authors, Narayan and Saki, use paradox and irony multiple times. They both use
paradox and irony to show the concepts of the truth and deception. Saki, the author of "The Open Window", uses paradox many times in the text. Mr.
Nuttel, the main character, was a ill and he went to the countryside to calm his nerves and get better, but that didn't exactly happen. Vera a young girl in
the story, told Mr. Nuttel about her Aunt's husband, brothers, and dog dying in the swamp while they were out hunting, but then they randomly show
up. This scares Mr. Nuttel because he thought that they were dead and he quickly gets up and leaves the house. Also at the end of the story, Vera tells her

10. Irony In The Open Window
Throughout the story, "The Open Window", there are many examples of irony. Irony can be funny, serious, or even scary. There are three types of
irony; which are; situational, dramatic, and verbal. Situational is what is expected to happen and what actually happens. Dramatic is when the audience
know more about something that is happening than the character does. Finally, verbal is the use of words meaning something different than what they
actually mean.
In the story, it says that Mrs. Sappleton's niece's name is Vera. Vera is a Slavic word that means truth; however, throughout the story Vera is telling
many lies. First, Vera tells Framton Nutell afiction story of how Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers went out the window to...show

This explains how the three figures come back to the house through the window. At first, these figures are expected to be ghost; however they were
very human and very alive. Franton Nutell did not stay long enough to find out whether they were alive or not. This is an example of situational irony.
Lastly, throughout the story there are hints that Vera may be a trouble maker. In paragraph eight, Vera shows some interest that Franton doesn't know
anyone or anything about the people in that town. As soon as Vera finds out that he knows nothing, she begins to create the story of the open window.
Also, in paragraph sixteen, Vera's aunt says, "I hope Vera has been amusing you?", so this also gives a hint that she might be up to something. This is
an example of dramatic irony, because the reader knows about the window and Franton does not.
In conclusion, there are many examples of irony in this story. There is situational irony, dramatic irony, and verbal irony. The story shows situational
irony when the three figures of Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two brothers come through the door alive, when they were expected to be ghost.
Dramatic irony is shown when the reader knows that Vera is up to something and Frantom Nutell does not. Lastly, verbal irony is shown through Vera's
name because Vera means truth and throughout the story Vera is

11. The Open Window By Saki
A story is usually as good as the characters that you encounter while reading. The way a writer reveals a character is called characterization. One form
of characterization is direct characterization. Direct characterization is when the author tells you directly what characteristics the character has. An
example of this is "Bob is smart, brave and honest,". Another form of characterization is indirect characterization. This is when the author shows the
character in action and lets the reader decide what kinds of people we are meeting. "The open Window", by Saki, is a great example of
characterization as the author develops the characters of Nuttel and Vera indirectly through their speech, how they look, and their thoughts and
feelings. Saki

12. Through subtle and discrete methods, Saki implies vast amounts of truth about society. How at ease and dependant one can become – that one neglects
to see the immature and fraudulent intentions underneath – throughout his short story "The Open Window". Saki's story which has a character whose
art of deception, which takes in the form of maiming the real meaning of the open window and disguising it in her lies, to the point where her victim's
gullibility takes a toll open his well being is a clear and distinct representation of one's malevolent intents.
Saki fabricated Vera to be a girl who is dignified and composed, allowing her to be skilled in the arts of deceit and obscuration of thetruth, which is
ironic to her name sake. Vera is a...show more content...
"Romance at short notice was her speciality" was the key to the story, symbolising Vera's methods of entertainment. Vera can mostly be described as a
sly and clever criminal, how a criminal would play and torture their prey is how Vera plays with Framton's mind. How she used the open window to
stain Framton's consciousness with a fake reality and then obscure it with another tall tale is how a criminal would hide his tracks after a slaughter.
Vera's lying is a symbol what society can be like underneath. Seeing as Framton knows nought, he was dependant on Vera's story. Her reasoning was
that once again, "Romance at short notice was her speciality" however, this does not mean that Vera is in love with Framton, this means that Vera is
skilled with inventing tall tales on the scene. She twists the truth to her amusement.
Vera's cruel method of amusement, cost Framton his mental sanity and his physical health, but it was also at the fault of his own gullibility. Nuttle can
represent something to the likings of nuts, which is mental instability. This is true in the beginning, and proven more in the conclusion. Vera's speech
did imply that she is lying, when she asked whether Framton knew anything of her aunt, to telling him why the open window relates to her aunt's "great
tragedy". A symbol of how one doubts the obvious signs of trickery and how one chooses to not take awareness of it. Although "something about the

13. The Open Window Analysis
The short story "The open window" is an interesting story compiled by a magnificent writer H. H. Munro (Saki) (1870–1916). The story is about an
extended family including
Framton as the major character. He is a young boy who is supposed to undergo a nerve cure and experiencing health problems living with a complicated
family. Vividly this essay has a lot of humor and high levels of literacy. In a nutshell the "open window" by H. H. Munro is a descriptive layout on
how literary skills and profession has been applied vastly to establish a profound creativity. This story is attributed and as from the description in the

Irony in reference to a bog being treacherous rather it's a wet ground formed from decaying smelling plants in a manner. The "open window" story was
to purposely lay out different literacy skills and the creativity in writing a short story with uttermost knowledge and to build an understanding culture
among different readers. In communication skills the author relayed a boy's story living in his aunt's place with a completely weird family seeming
to be weird in a perception. The relevance in a story like this is to analyze and identify different forms of literary forms used by any person to
convey a meaning. A boy experiencing health problems visiting his aunt only to find the family is in its worst moments with complicated issues. To
view out a normal boy's life living in a tough rather unpleasing situation that maybe he has never encountered in his lifetime. Mr nuttel on seeing three
people walking towards the house and thinks they are ghosts and takes a sudden leave to his house. The life of framton was getting worse facing
health problems with a lot of precautions and having to deal with a family experiencing difficulties during their anniversary period. A time they are

14. Reflection Of The Open Window
November 2, 2017
Reflection
The most delightful piece of literature to me was "The Open Window" by H.H. Munro (SAKI). This was very captivating because of the way the
story began and the astonishing ending. At the end when the hunting group walks through the door it makes you wonder if they were actually ghosts
or if the young girl had conjured up a tale to get rid of Mr. Nuttel (Saki). The author also gave us some more suspense by never referring to the girl by
a name but instead continued to call her various other things.
All of the pieces have the mood in common as many of them seem to be somber. In some of the pieces you have to dig down a little bit deeper to find
this mood but it is evident that all the authors incorporated sadness in their stories. Even the stories that have a happy ending have a rough start and
only eventually end well. In "Martin Luther King Jr.'s' Letter From Birmingham Jail'" he talks about the struggles of being a black and shows grief in
how the people who may not be doing good for the world may be doing it legally but those who are trying to fix what is wrong are doing it illegally.
He tells us that what is right isn't always what the law wants and this incorporates sadness because of how long it took for blacks to be remotely equal
to whites and it reminds the reader that we still are facing the same struggles today.
Today I learned how religion and thoughts of what happened in the past changes and affects everything which goes on in the

To begin, the author, Saki, used methods to explain the characters in 'The Open Window'. "Good characterization can make readers feel that even
fantasy characters–– a bumbly teddy bear or a girl who is tossed by a tornado into an emerald city–– live and breathe" Found on source 1. These
methods include direct and indirect characterization and motivation. These methods allow the author to explain a character's personality. In addition,
authors use direct characterization to bring characters to life. Direct characterization directly states a character's personality. In source 2 the author uses
direct characterization to describe Vera. The text explains that she is "a very self–possessed young lady of fifteen". Vera is self–possessed and talkative

17. Themes In The Open Window
Ah, 'The Open Window', I have to say that this story is, in sharp contrast to the other two, an amazing piece of literary storytelling. The story 'The
Open Window', written by Hector Hugh Monroe, is a short but generally interesting book about a man called Framton and a little misadventure of his
at the hands of a young lady named Vera. In this story, H. H. Monroe, commonly known as Saki does what he does best (and in grand style too!). Saki
is known for his wittiness and mischief in storytelling, his satirization of
'Edwardian culture' has made him become commonly known as the master of short stories. In this story, he showcases just the sort of literary works
that gave him that title. Now, let me tell you a bit about the literary devices...show more content...
It is a short and sweet collection of a few themes: Appearance vs. Reality, Sanity, and Deceptiveness. Through this story, Saki intends to teach us that
everything is not always as it seems. Vera, who uses a real object; the window to draw in her victim (and for a while, us too!), tells Framtona story that
appears to be possible because it was told so darn well! Mrs. Sappleton walks in, unknowing what just transpired, and begins to talk about reality
("I hope you don't mind... anniversary.): That her husband and brothers had gone hunting, but never died and are actually going to return. This
makes Framton think that Mrs. Sappleton was crazy, boy was he wrong. Since he already held Vera's story as the truth, he does not believe when
he see's Mrs. Sappleton looking out the window with joy, but just a glimpse of three men and a dog moving their way was enough to make him
take to his heels in most hilarious fashion! That's why one should always be aware for deceptive people. If you've never read Saki's books before (as I
assume both of us haven't), you would be completely fooled into believing Vera's story. Also, if the reader can believe this story, that means the reader
can also be fooled by a good

18. Examples Of Dramatic Irony In The Open Window
In the story The Open Window by Saki (H. H. Munro) there are multiple instances of irony. This irony provides for a very comical and hilarious satire.
In numerous occasions, the reader will encounter situational, verbal, and even dramatic irony. Dramatic irony is an instance of irony in which the
reader knows what is going to happen; however, the character in the story does not. Situational irony is an instance of irony in which the character in the
story does something to expect a certain outcome; but, the exact opposite happens. Lastly, verbal irony is an instance of irony in which the character in
the story says something, but means something other than its literal meaning. Starting from the beginning of the list, dramatic irony is very

19. Foreshadowing In The Open Window
Humans are naturally uneasy and awkward when faced with an uncertain social setting. An unfamiliar place along with unfamiliar people can create an
environment filled with abnormal behavior. Saki uses these variables so that his readers can empathize with his main character. In the short story,
"The Open Window" Framton Nuttel, a troubled man, is fooled as a result of his nervous nature combined with fear which is further agitated by a
young girl. Vera is the niece of Mrs. Sappleton, the lady who owns the house that Mr. Nuttel is visiting. The open window in the living room strikes up
a conversation between Vera and Mr. Nuttel. She informs Mr. Nuttel that it stays open because one day Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two brothers

Nuttel is skeptical about staying with strangers from the beginning and doubts that it will be any help in his attempted nerve cure (Munro, 2).
Although Framton has many issues, he is still trying to solve his problems by being open to new things that he is unsure about. He steps outside of
his comfort zone by having, "formal visits on a succession of total strangers" (Munroe, 2). These visits are supposed to help Mr. Nuttel in his nerve
cure which is why he is willing to put forth the effort. Mr. Nuttel shows, "uncertainty in even the most benign of social situations" (Korb, 7). This
makes the whole situation very difficult for him even before he is spooked by Vera and her tale. This is a big step in the right direction, or so he
thinks. Unfortunately for Mr. Nuttel, he is anguished for his actions. Although he tries to calm his nerves by taking this retreat, he ends up doing the
exact opposite. Once Mr. Nuttel sees what he thinks are ghosts, his anxiety soars to an all–time
