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.
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.

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.
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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 “any matter” at “any time” 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

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.
3. Pre- Proposal-
How do you feel about how this work has gone and what were the
main successes in the work?
I feel that pre- proposal went very well. I have been able to think about what
kind of mood I want to have and how I want to make the audience feel. As this
was the first bit of work of the F.M.P I found the questions useful as it made me
question myself to make something not just for myself but for an audience. The
specific question I found had the biggest impact was, “What about your project
makes it important to you?”. This made me think why I wanted to make the
thing and if I didn’t feel 100% with the idea then I should reconsider.
In my opinion, the main successes in this was grabbing an understanding of the
work I want to create. This mindset made later tasks a lot easier. I feel that the
most successful question was “what is your FMP idea?”. This was because I had
a clear understanding of what I wanted to makes. This came to me quite easily
due to the recent Covid pandemic taking an affect to what my work might turn
out.
5. Contextual
How do you feel about how this work has gone and what were the
main successes in the work?
I feel that contextual went very well. I have been able to think why I wanted to
make this product and found out what the main inspirations where for me to
research later. Something I think worked well about this stage of the project was
looking at what’s inspiring me. This is useful before I start research as I now know
what I needed to know more about. By doing this I also learnt a little about the
style that one of my inspirations use. Within learning about this I also had a think
about the effects that I might possibly use and how that links to my context.
In my opinion, the main successes in this was with the personal context. This part
allowed me to think about my past projects and see what I did best and enjoy the
most. For example, I want to do rotoscoping which I have done in a past project
and think that It work well with what I want to do
Finally, contextual made me think about what I need to look more into as I was
unsure about some things I wanted to do like green screen.
7. Research
How do you feel about how this work has gone and what were the
main successes in the work?
I feel that research went well. Following on from contextual I knew what I
needed to look at as I knew what I was more confident with. I knew that I
needed to focus more on the effects that I wanted to use and the existing
product which are an influence on the project. This was the priority as I didn’t
need to know too much about that audience at the fist stage as I wanted to
make sure I could make the product as professional as possible. This research
has given me a good understanding of how to increase my skills to create the
effects.
In my opinion, the main success was the audience research. I made a
questionnaire which was tailored to I can understand what my audience would
prefer in my product. By doing this I can both create something that they would
enjoy more and make something that might look and be better than my orginal
plan, for example the number of characters on the scene.
9. Pre- Production
How do you feel about how this work has gone and what were the
main successes in the work?
I feel that pre- production went very well. I have been able to fully
investigate the different things that I may need for this project. For
example, the costumes and props. I wanted to focus on the looks of the
characters as this is what the characters will be mainly looking at and
with that, they needed to have their own colour scheme so that they
stand out from one another to show their differences. As well as the
character I found it good thinking about the location that these five
characters will be set in as it needs to be believable.
In my opinion, the main successes in this stage was with the props. I
wanted to give each character a prop which seems somewhat
reasonable. For example, the old man and walking stick. These also had
to be props which could make a beat. I think that these props suit the
characters well and I am very happy with the choices..
11. Production
How do you feel about how this work has gone and what were the
main successes in the work?
I feel that production went perfectly. There was a few problems with this
stage, but I feel like I have been able to successfully create the project
that I want. Such as having the effects that I wanted. The audio was done
to the best that I could and believe that the background characters all
seem to be correctly edited which was a big aim. This allow to give the
illusion that the characters are making the song with the props.
In my opinion, the main success was with the editing. Although I had
some problems, I think that I pulled it off very well and created
something that was close to my expectation. The new dimensions I added
with the closeups also changed the perspective which I think massively
improved the project as a whole and I am very happy with that.
