This document contains a collection of quotes and statistics arguing against gun control laws and in favor of gun rights as protected by the Second Amendment. It references historical examples of genocide in countries that established gun control laws and notes the relatively low crime rate in Switzerland where households are issued firearms. The overall message is that an armed citizenry deters government overreach and protects individual liberty and safety.

Knowledge Management for SME in the Network Society: Comparison Japan - FranceDavid VALLAT
Knowledge feeds innovation and labour productivity, hence the interest of firms and organizations to invest massively in knowledge.
This is all the more true today as we witness the development of an Internet Society.
We want to discuss best practices about KM.
We focus our project on three questions:
• How to implement a Knowledge Management philosophy in SMEs (in particular healthcare organizations)?
• Can japanese KM practices can be transposed to French SME ?
• How to develop KM thinking in service industries (welfare industries again) and in universities (to train knowledge workers).

L’économie collaborative : « le retour des communs » ?David VALLAT
L’économie collaborative promeut une vision distribuée de l’économie où le consommateur devient partie prenante de la production en mettant son bien à disposition de tiers. La mutualisation des biens rendue aisée par la médiation de plates-formes numériques vise à économiser, à peser moins sur les ressources, à réduire la consommation et la pollution, à redéfinir ses besoins (pour aller vers plus de liens et moins de biens). Les échanges de pair à pair permettent de s’organiser en commun, en se départant du poids des institutions, des organisations, pour produire et échanger ce dont nous avons besoin : c’est une économie qui repose sur la demande où le consommateur agit dans le champ de la production. Cette approche, reposant sur le pair à pair, propose une autre vision de la place de l’économie dans la société, une vision envisagée au milieu du XXe siècle par le socio-économiste d’origine hongroise Karl Polanyi (1). Cette vision repose également sur la volonté de changer les rapports économiques et de les organiser sur la base d’une administration en commun (2). La volonté d’administrer l’économie en commun, sur une base réciprocitaire débouche sur de nouvelles formes organisationnelles (3) facilitant la production de la connaissance (un autre commun).

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.

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”.

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.

15. The Founding Fathers on the Second Amendment
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is
the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason - Co-author of the Second Amendment
during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the
American people's liberty teeth and
keystone under independence … from
the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and
tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol
are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains
evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."
George Washington - First President of the United States
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the
people always possess arms and be taught alike,
especially when young, how to use them."
Richard Henry Lee - American Statesman, 1788

19. Why Fight?
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America
because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
With guns, we are 'citizens;' without them, we are 'subjects'.
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property
and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-
abiding citizens
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in
defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill
is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.
20. SWITZERLAND
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN!
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT THEY
ISSUE EACH A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF
ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE
MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL
LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! The next
time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them
of this history lesson.
21. 2nd AMENDMENT

value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun
control message to all of your friends.
