Father's Day Ideas - When God Created Fathers
The poem describes God's creation of fathers, with an angel questioning each part of the father's body - their height, large hands, long legs, and large feet - but God explaining how each feature would help fathers care for and bond with their children. At the end, God adds tears to show that fathers can love just as much as mothers.

The Force Awakens - A New Hope for Gifted Education 2017
A long time ago, in a school far, far away, gifted education enjoyed what has been referred to as a Golden Age. With the dawn of NCLB, the pendulum swung in the direction of prescribed, didactic instruction that focused on meeting minimum standards and the weaknesses of our students. Meanwhile, the world saw technology advance at an unprecedented rate. In 2017, there is a great shift in the Force. We are seeing the dawn of a brand new day for gifted education. The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Students Act combined with new technology standards from ISTE has created the perfect opportunity for gifted education to move back to being a central focus of educational initiatives. Now is the time for us to form a Rebel Alliance and to become strong again in the ways of the Force.

How to succeed at hiring without really trying
Hiring good people can be hard. Keeping good people can be hard. It’s made easier though if you can set your company apart as a place that people want to work at. But how do you make the community aware that that’s the case?
Developer evangelists typically evangelise products to developers, but what if the thing you’re trying to sell is the team itself? How can you get your entire team sharing with the community what you’ve built and how you work?
This talk will examine why you should evangelise your team from an individual, team and community perspective, and give concrete examples of how to encourage your team to do so.
Learn Reflect Repeat
As developers, we’re constantly learning: whether it’s figuring out how to solve new problems and bugs, or focusing on new skills and knowledge to apply to our work. At FutureLearn, we reflect our company mission of providing the best learning experiences to everyone, within the way we work as well. We have a culture of learning and supporting each other, encouraging everyone to pursue the skills they want to have. This talk will help you make learning a more integral part of your processes, and explain how to run internal events, like hackdays and lightning talks, to support this.

The data could then be used to plan interventions like treats on typically unhappy days to boost moods. It also discusses a project called SmartCitti that maps and measures community happiness using spatial and emotional data to identify issues and make improvements.

How To Make Better Teachers
This document discusses ways to make better teachers. It suggests that teachers can improve by getting critical feedback from others on their lesson plans and classroom practices. This feedback is best obtained by openly sharing rich multimedia examples of lessons with other teachers through blogging. When teachers plan lessons with an eye towards sharing their work, it leads to better collaboration and criticism that improves teaching. The document also discusses creating a culture of trust and sharing responsibility rather than strict accountability to encourage reflection and improvement among teachers.
Confratute 2018
This document discusses building resilience. Some key points include:
1. Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties and adapt to challenges. Playing as a child helps develop skills that will support real actions later in life.
2. Failure is a necessary part of learning and should not be seen as "evil". It is an inevitable result of trying new things. Fear of failure can be overcome by facing adversity and staying committed to long term goals.
3. Developing self-efficacy, or a belief in one's abilities, is important for resilience. Taking responsibility, engaging in self-reflection, and maintaining high expectations despite setbacks can help build self-efficacy.

This document discusses the role of teachers as "meddlers" who involve themselves in student learning without being asked in order to push students' thinking. It provides examples of great teachers from films and defines meddling as interfering unwontedly but with right. The document advocates that meddling teachers allow students to experience risks and confusion of authentic learning by letting them stay in the grey area of unresolved problems. It suggests teachers should resist premature closure, think like kids through idea generating and problem finding, and say things like "Wax on, wax off" to encourage creative thinking.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
