Exploring the Lifelong Benefits of Inclusive Play
Play brings families, friends and communities together; it keep us fit and makes us smile. Research shows that play is a key element of development and health for individuals of all ages and abilities. Unfortunately, play is being threatened on every front in the U.S. It's seen as a "children-only" activity, if it's thought about at all. Furthermore, concerns around inclusive play are primarily discussed among disability experts and are not part of most community agendas.
Please join our nation's leading inclusive play experts for a thought-provoking, two-day symposium that examines the importance of play for all ages and abilities. Play for Life: Exploring the Lifelong Benefits of Inclusive Play will reignite your passion for play and inspire new ways to bring that passion to everyone in the community.

Operation “Blue Star” 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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

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.
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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. “Times are changing. Stories are being
lost, Elders are dying and the young are
looking for more engaging ways to learn.
Cultural animation helps bridge this gap,
whether it’s through collaborative
workshops or actual production, by
bringing everybody together with one
aim… to preserve culture.”
George Siosi Samuels, Director of Siosism
3. What is Cultural Animation?
Cultural animation was originally coined by
Polish cultural theorist, Grzegorz Godlewski, as
“identification, activation, and dynamisation of
a particular sphere of cultural experience.”
In today’s digital world, we could be forgiven
for thinking of it simply as: computer generated
animation used to preserve culture and
heritage.
However, a richer definition combining the two
is more accurate: a state of awakening and/or
action within a culture or community,
invoked through the use of computer
animation based on cultural stories.
4. What We Do
We create and teach cultural animation to help promote
or preserve cultural myths and legends, especially
indigenous.
We work in partnership with other consultants, content
creators, and organizations, to provide inspiring outcomes
for communities such as content production, training and
exposure.
We also provide training and advice to communities in the
areas of digital media, communication and flow
management.
5. Why We Do It
We are passionate about culture. We believe our world can
be transformed by remembering the wisdom of the past,
healing old wounds and embracing the best of all cultures.
The indigenous of our planet have always remained close to
the Source and so provide valuable lessons for the West.
We believe that by understanding your story and heritage,
you can create a compelling future.
Our mission is to help animate 1,000 indigenous myths
and legends by 2024.
6. “George delivers excellent results. He is
smart, quick and an astute, warm
communicator. When working with us on our
community-based digital media project,
George easily built rapport, supported
others to engage with new processes and
facilitated some inspiring results. His
commitment to supporting Indigenous
cultural expression is highly commended.”
Marjo Stroud, Inhaadi Adnyamathanha
7. Where We Work
We are based in Melbourne, Australia, but are happy to
travel anywhere depending on availability, cost and venue
capabilities.
If doing an interstate or overseas workshop, our clients
typically help us out with airfares and accommodation (not
including workshop fees).
We also use online communication tools to work remotely, so
location does not affect our capabilities or productivity.
8. What You Get
We believe we need to re-embrace our indigenous roots, warrior spirits, and
determination, to learn new skills that will balance the old and new worlds, preserve
the wisdom of the past, and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
In our workshops you will be shown how to:
1.

5.
EXPLORE cultural stories and extract meaning
CREATE an animated short based on a significant cultural story
LEARN new digital skills that can be applied immediately
SHARE stories together that help create stronger bonds
SUPPORT one another using social media and new tools
George & co. will help cover basic animation skills, give focus to participants’
specific questions, and teach tangible strategies to create a film students can be
proud of, no matter what stage they are in!
9. “We had the privilege of employing George to run a
claymation project. It was a great success. The structure
of the class was very relaxed and the content made easy
to have novices learn new skills. The involvement with
their stories and creations was great. The interaction
with the elders and the children was priceless. All
involved would like to have a “Claymations 2” which
just shows what George can do to make positive change
happen. We feel that what he has shared with us is an
investment in not only our Language Survival but in our
life’s journey and direction. Thank You Siosi.”
Gillian Bovoro, Inhaadi Adnyamathanha

11. Who’s Behind This?
George Siosi Samuels is a cultural animator, entrepreneur and author of the forthcoming
book Animated Spirit. He helps breathe life into people, brands and cultures. He typically
works with entrepreneurs, communities and organizations experiencing difficulties with
motivation, communication or “flow.”
George has a rich and diverse cultural background: he’s Fijian/Indian/Tuvaluan/Samoan, migrated from Fiji to Australia when
he was young, and spent most of his formative years attending an American-international school in Bangladesh. Upon return
to Australia, he managed to swoop up a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Systems and a Master’s in Animation & Interactive
Media. He then used his talents to channel his passions through entrepreneurship.
As a result of his work in cultural animation, he’s been featured by Adobe, Toon Boom Animation, ABC Radio, the World
Indigenous Network, and the Pacific Voyagers Foundation. In 2012, he was included as one of Australia’s Top 50 “Young &
Extraordinary” social entrepreneurs for 2012 as voted by the Foundation for Young Australians. He’s also published a
successful animation series called Tales From Nanumea, in an effort to preserve the myths and legends of his maternal
homeland, a sinking nation, Tuvalu.
When not on a computer, George takes animation to its roots, which is animare in Latin (‘to breathe life into’), and animates
people through consulting, coaching and workshops. He helps clients break through roadblocks, navigate their businesses,
understand their roots, explore cultural values, improve communications, harmonize teams and, of course, animate stories.
