Intro to ESG Standards and Regulations: An Introduction to Technologically Ac...John C. Havens
This provides an introduction to leading ESG / Sustainability oriented standards as of August, 2023. The goal of the presentation is to show that "Double Materiality" and "Strong Sustainability" are critical to achieve Net Positive / Nature Positive goals for engineers, policy makers, and society at large.
Please note - while I prepared this in my role as Sustainability Practice Lead for the IEEE Standards Association, these ideas are my own and don't necessarily reflect those of my employer.
Reskilling in the age of the algorithm is a mythed opportunity where single-bottom line mandates rule the land. All jobs will be replaced via automation where organizations are continuously pressured to cut costs and increase exponential growth as their top KPIs. But when society's metrics for success move Beyond GDP to include caregiving, the teachers and other professionals currently not counted will get the salaries and support they deserve while shifting the goals for learning in the AI era from productivity to purpose.

The Artificial and The Divine - Week ThreeJohn C. Havens
Can Artificial Intelligence replace spirituality or religion? Should it? What's the value of introspection when technology and automation can do our thinking for us?
The Artificial and the Divine is a series of three presentations geared to teaching people about how emerging technology is deeply affecting how we see ourselves, each other, and our spirituality.
This is a presentation I'll be doing at the Foresight & Trends Conference in L.A. in November of 2014 (http://www.iirusa.com/futuretrends/home.xml). My focus is on how individuals and companies can measure actions identified by the science of positive psychology to increase wellbeing.
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.
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.

H(app)athon - Scandinavia
Workshop, Ideas in Action

D O C U M E N TAT I O N - h a p pat h on w o r k s h o p
The following pages are documentation from the Scandinavian H(app)athon workshop arranged
in March 20th, 2013 - the official UN Day of Happiness.
The main objective of the workshop was to develop ideas that can be used as an input for the
further project of how to measure happiness.
This was done bye arranging an idea development process, where the participants discussed
and developed ideas of how to improve wellbeing and happiness in the land of Eudamonia.
The workshop was arranged in Oslo, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. including one coffee break.
There were 18 participants, who were divided into four teams. The attendees were a mix of busi-
ness executives, students, employees and public stakeholders. Everyone was carefully selected
and handpicked through our personal and professional network. The common denominator was
that all of them are above average interested in and understand the consequences of a positive
attitude and care about their environment.
int r o
The workshop resultet in several ideas, four of them descirbed in the enhancement form includ-
ed in this report. They are also presented on video.
Enjoy!
