“YOUR ABUSIVE PARTNER DOESN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIS ANGER; HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR ANGER.
One of the basic human rights he takes away from you is the right to be angry with him. No matter how badly he treats you, he believes that your voice shouldn’t rise and your blood shouldn’t boil. The privilege of rage is reserved for him alone. When your anger does jump out of you—as will happen to any abused woman from time to time—he is likely to try to jam it back down your throat as quickly as he can. Then he uses your anger against you to prove what an irrational person you are. Abuse can make you feel straitjacketed. You may develop physical or emotional reactions to swallowing your anger, such as depression, nightmares, emotional numbing, or eating and sleeping problems, which your partner may use as an excuse to belittle you further or make you feel crazy.” Let's break this...........

العناية بالطفل هي عملية شاملة تهدف إلى تلبية احتياجات الطفل الجسدية والعاطفية والاجتماعية والعقلية. إن العناية الجيدة بالطفل تلعب دورًا حاسمًا في تطويره ونموه الصحيح وسعادته العامة. فيما يلي وصف طويل لبعض جوانب العناية بالطفل:
1. الرعاية الجسدية:
- التغذية: يجب توفير تغذية صحية للطفل، سواء من خلال الرضاعة الطبيعية أو الرضاعة الصناعية. ينصح بالرضاعة الطبيعية حديث الولادة، ويجب تقديم الأطعمة الصلبة المناسبة حسب العمر عندما يكون الطفل جاهزًا لها.
- النوم: يحتاج الطفل إلى نوم كافٍ لتطوير جهازه العصبي واستعادة طاقته. ينصح بتوفير بيئة هادئة ومريحة للنوم وتحديد جدول زمني منتظم للنوم.
- النظافة: يتطلب الطفل النظافة اليومية، بما في ذلك الاستحمام المنتظم وتنظيف الأذنين والأنف والأظافر بلطف. كما يجب تجنب التعرض المفرط للمواد الكيميائية المهيجة لبشرته.
2. العناية العاطفية:
- التواصل والتفاعل: يجب توفير بيئة داعمة وحنونة للطفل، والتفاعل المستمر معه من خلال الابتسامات والعناق واللمس اللطيف. يعزز هذا الاتصال العاطفي الرابطة بين الطفل والوالدين أو المربين.

العناية العقلية:
التحفيز العقلي: ينبغي توفير بيئة غنية بالتحفيز الحسي والعقلي لتطوير قدرات الطفل العقلية. يمكن ذلك من خلال تقديم ألعاب وأنشطة تعزز التفكير الإبداعي والمنطقي والتنمية الحركية.
القراءة والقصص: يعد القراءة للطفل من أهم الأنشطة التي تساهم في تطوير الذكاء والخيال والمهارات اللغوية. ينبغي قراءة القصص المناسبة لعمره والتفاعل معه خلال القراءة.

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.
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.
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”.

4. U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
The USPSTF recommends that clinicians screen women of childbearing
age for intimate partner violence, such as domestic violence, and provide
or refer women who screen positive to intervention services. This
recommendation applies to women who do not have signs or symptoms of
abuse.
Affordable Care Act
Screening and counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence will be
covered for all adolescent and adult women. An estimated 25% of women
in the United States report being targets of intimate partner violence
during their lifetimes. Screening is effective in the early detection and
effectiveness of interventions to increase the safety of abused women.
Patient Satisfaction increased when asked about
DV
Why are we here?
5. Impact on Health
In addition to injuries sustained during violent
episodes, physical and psychological abuse are linked
to a number of adverse physical health effects
including arthritis, chronic neck or back pain,
migraine and other frequent headaches, stammering,
problems seeing, sexually transmitted infections,
chronic pelvic pain, and stomach ulcers.
Coker, A., Smith, P., Bethea, L., King, M., McKeown, R. 2000. “Physical Health Consequences of Physical and
Psychological Intimate Partner Violence.” Archives of Family Medicine. 9
6. Definition of Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence also known as battering, is a pattern of behavior used
to establish power and control over a partner, friend or any other person
through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of
violence. While the violence may cause injury, it does not have to be
physical. Domestic Violence also takes the form of emotional verbal
sexual and economic abuse.
Domestic Violence affects people of all ethnic, racial and economic
backgrounds. It affects women, men, and transgendered people. It takes
place in same sex relationships as well as heterosexual relationships.
Battering happens when one person believes that they are entitled to
control another. Assault, battering, and domestic violence are crimes”.
Definition taken from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Jane Doe Inc.
7. Statistics
Girls and women between the ages of 16 and 24 experience
the highest rates of DV and sexual assault
Relationship violence is the number one cause of injury to
women ages 15-44: more than rapes, muggings, and car
accidents combined.
Every day at least 3 women are murdered by their husbands
or boyfriends in this country.
1 in 4 GLBT people are battered by a partner at some point
in their lives.

Prevention, Center for Community Solutions, American Psychological
Association, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report

19. Screening for DV
Old screening question :
Do you feel safe at home?
New screening questions: open ended, behavioral
How are things at home?
Has your partner ever hit, kicked, shoved or
punched you?
Does your partner put you down?
Have you ever felt afraid of your partner?
20. How to Ask
Screen the patient for IPV alone
Use your own words, ask questions in a supportive
and non judgmental manner
Ask direct, simple and behaviorally specific questions
Ask about their ‘partners’ as opposed to ‘husband’ or
‘spouse’
Don’t use terms like ‘battered’ or ‘abused’
Show compassion and understanding for people’s
choices
21. Normalizing the Question
“Because abuse and violence are so common in
people's lives, I have begun to routinely ask about
abuse.”
“I do not know if this has ever been a problem for
you, but because so many women I see are dealing
with abusive relationships I've started asking about it
routinely.”
22. Normalizing the Question
“We now know that violence affects many families.
Violence in the home may result in physical and
emotional problems for you and your child. We are
offering services to anyone who may be concerned
about violence in their home.”
“Because there is help available for women who are
being abused, I now ask every woman about DV.”
23. Time Concerns
It takes 6-10 seconds to frame the issue and ask a
screening question
Approximately 85% of patients will screen
negative for IPV
You have let the patient know that this is an important
health issue and your office is willing to help if needed
Taliaferro, E., Surprenant, Z. Medical Directions, 2006. Respond to Intimate Partner Violence; 10 Action Steps you can take to help your
patients and your practice.
24. Time Concerns
It takes 2-3 minutes to deal with most patients
who screen positively for IPV
About 14% will give a positive response
Most will be in ‘stable IPV’ (non urgent)
Provide rapid assessment of immediate safety
Will take longer to help the > 1% that respond
positively and have urgent needs
Taliaferro, E., Surprenant, Z. Medical Directions, 2006. Respond to Intimate Partner Violence; 10 Action Steps you can take to help your patients and your
practice.
25. Follow up Questions
At minimum, ask some of the following:
Are you afraid your life may be in danger?
Do you feel safe at home with your partner?
Do you have somewhere safe to go?
Has there been an escalation in the violence?
Have weapons or threats been used?
Has your partner choked or strangled you?
Do you know what to do if the situation becomes
dangerous (call 911, have safety plan)
26. Responding to Disclosures
“I disclosed when someone appeared to care
about the answer.” - patient
“I’m glad you told me. We
see many other patients in
similar situations. No one
deserves to be abused. I
want to connect you with
someone to talk to.”
- doctor
27. Red Flags
An injury/event that is inconsistent with the client’s
history (I fell playing a sport)
A changing, inconsistent history or vague description
of the cause of an injury/event
Minimization of the injury/event
A delay in seeking care for significant medical
conditions
28. Red Flags
Missed or canceled appointments
Partner canceling
Unusual behavior between patient and partner
Suggestive trauma patterns
Multiple visits to ER, injuries in various states of
healing, defensive wounds
29. If a Patient does not Engage
Use indirect statements and questions when a patient
has denied IPV, but you feel it is a possibility
I am asking you this because I am concerned about
your safety
Are you having problems with your partner? Do your
arguments ever become physical? Are you ever afraid?
Have you ever gotten hurt?
You seem concerned about your partner. Can you tell
me more about that?
You mentioned your partner uses alcohol. How do they
act when they become intoxicated? Does their behavior
frighten you?
30. If a Patient does not Engage
Goal is NOT disclosure
Goal is to create a culture of SUPPORT
31. When should screening occur
During new patient exams
Annually
During episodic visits, if indicators are present
When patient enters new intimate relationship
If patient is pregnant, once a trimester and during
postpartum
Family planning visits, STI visits, abortion clinics,
fertility clinic visits
32. High Risk Indicators
History of Violence/ Past Assaults
Threats to kill (partner, child, pet)
Access or use of weapons
Obsessive jealously and/or preoccupation with
partner
Stalking or monitoring partner
Strangulation
Forced Sex
33. Risk to the Victim
Stay
-Physical injury
-Death
-Physical or psychological harm
to children
-Loss of children
-Loss of income/job
-Loss of family, friends and
support
-Loss or damage to possessions
Leave
-Physical injury
-Death
-Physical or psychological harm
to children
-Loss of children
-Loss of income/job
-Loss of family, friends and
support
-Loss or damage to possessions
34. Victim Blaming Statements
Clients May Hear
Did you try to stop the abuse?
What did you do to provoke it?
Why don’t you just leave?
It can’t be that bad.
If someone treated me like that I know I would just
leave.
That happened a while ago, can’t you just forget about
it?
He would never do that (don’t believe the victim).
35. Recap
Create a safe place to disclose
Support patient
Refer to outside services
