6. fmp production reflection (1)
This document reflects on Ellie-Schreurs' production of a website and accompanying materials about budget-friendly activities and destinations in York and Whitby. The website contains pages describing things to see and places to eat in each location. It also includes information about the Grand Hotel spa in York. Accompanying materials include a poster, storyboard, and video further promoting budget-friendly activities in the two towns.
Chinese Hong Kong Festival
The document discusses the Bun Snatching Festival in Hong Kong, which occurs annually in May to give thanks for a god who helped end a plague. During the festival, buns are placed on a tower for people to try and grab in a game, with points assigned based on height. Safety measures are now in place like limiting participants and providing safety gear. The festival celebrates tradition but also aims to attract tourism to local businesses.
A trip to London
We will fly from Barcelona to London on January 13, 2014. We chose the affordable Hotel Russell due to our limited budget. During our weekend in London, we plan to visit popular landmarks like Big Ben, British Museum, and London Eye, as well as eat fast food and dine at a Dim Sum restaurant. We are excited to experience the city through meeting people and sightseeing at various monuments and locations.
Photos from preveza
The document summarizes the writer's visit to the small town of Preveza in Greece. Preveza is located on the mainland near the sea and is built near the ancient city of Nicopolis, which was constructed by the Roman emperor Octavius to celebrate his naval victory over Marc Antony and Cleopatra in the Battle of Actium. The writer enjoys exploring the town center and waterfront of Preveza, as well as eating ice cream and traditional Greek dishes at cafes and tavernas along the beautiful beach, and learning some basic Greek phrases.

This document purports to provide 17 reasons why visiting Vietnam would be a complete waste of time, however it does the opposite and provides beautiful descriptions of the natural scenery, cultural attractions, architecture, and friendly locals that make visiting Vietnam appealing. It uses vivid language and photos to describe scenic landscapes like rice fields and islands, cultural celebrations and traditions like water puppetry, vibrant cities with impressive skylines and nightlife, well preserved historical sites, peaceful monasteries, and more, contradicting the claim that visiting Vietnam is a dumb idea.

Locations
The group scouted several London locations to film various scenes for their music video. They liked Greenwich for its open space near the O2 arena. At Canary Wharf, they wanted to film in Cabot Square for its fountain and bridges, which would work for a romantic scene. Embankment was considered for its views of Big Ben and the London Eye at night. Shots outside Harrods were planned to represent an "expensive things" lyric. Additional scenes would be filmed at a house, school, and cemetery.
Venice translation sheet.
The document discusses several problems with tourism in Venice. It notes that most tourism is "bite and run" where visitors only stay briefly. This type of mass tourism overwhelms the city and its infrastructure. Locals struggle with overcrowded boats and streets, as well as disrespectful behavior from some tourists. Suggested solutions include implementing small ticket taxes to fund cleanliness, separating tourist and local boat transportation, and promoting less visited areas to spread tourists out. However, Venice must also support its declining local population and control the negative impacts of its popularity and dependence on tourism.
A Long Weekend In Cancun
The author took a weekend trip to Cancun with friends where they stayed in a beachfront hotel. During their trip, they spent time on the beach where one friend got sunburned, played volleyball, and went snorkeling in Xcaret park where they saw colorful fish and turtles. They also went to a performance at Coco Bongo bar and saw the sunrise on the beach before visiting Chichen Itza on their last day.

Castanets
Castanets are a percussion instrument consisting of a pair of concave shells joined by a string. They are used in Spanish, Kalo, Moorish, Ottoman, Italian, Sephardic, Swiss, and Portuguese music. To play them, one pair is held in each hand with the string hooked over the thumb and shells resting in the palm. When the hands are clicked together they produce rhythmic clicks or rattles. Originally made from chestnuts, castanets were used by ancient Greeks and Egyptians. Famous castanet players include Carmen Amaya, Lola Flores, and Alex Acuña.
The Vihuela
The Vihuela was a stringed instrument popular during the Renaissance, similar to the guitar. It had 6 or 7 double strings, usually made of animal intestine. While its inventor is unknown, the Vihuela originated in Spain and Portugal in the 16th century, where it was more popular than the lute.

The Dulzaina
The Dulzaina is a Spanish double reed wind instrument that is part of the oboe family. There are different regional versions of the Dulzaina, such as the Gralla in Catalonia and the bolin-gozo in the Basque region. The Dulzaina originated in ancient Greece and was introduced to Catalan in the 14th century from France. It has a conical shape with seven holes and is typically made of wood. A famous player of the Catalan Gralla is Ivan Caro.
Banjo
The banjo is a string instrument smaller than a guitar originally played in the USA. It is traditionally made by black Americans and has a circular wooden frame covered by a skin with 4, 5, 6, or 10 strings. Famous banjo players include Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck.
Fiddle
The fiddle is a bowed string instrument that is essentially the same as a violin but is played in folk music traditions from Europe and North America. While the violin has gut strings, the fiddle has steel strings that produce a brighter tone, making it more suitable for folk styles. The fiddle, like the violin, is made of wood with the exception of its steel strings. Some famous fiddlers who play folk styles include Charlie Daniels, Mark O'Connor, Craig Duncan, and Jay Ungar.
Concertina
The concertina is a free-reed musical instrument that originated in England and Germany and is used for classical music in Ireland, England and South Africa as well as for tango and polka music. It is a wooden instrument that is played by expanding and contracting it using buttons or keys and, unlike the accordion, is generally smaller with fewer reeds. One of the most famous concertina players is Noel Hill, who was born in County Clare, Ireland and is known for songs like "The Humours of Castlefin."

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
