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.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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.

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 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.

major parts of the culture.

SUBMITTED EXAMPLES HERE FOR CLASS DISCUSSION
5. Impactful Television
• 50’s sitcom “I LOVE LUCY” was impactful in many ways:
• The first to use a 3-camera setup so they could shoot
angles and close-ups simultaneously. Traditional sitcoms
are still shot this way to this day.
• The first to have an inter-cultural couple as the stars –
Desi Arnaz was Cuban and the network didn’t want him
cast as her husband Ricky (even though he was her real-
life husband) because they feared viewers would have
difficulty accepting the Cuban Arnaz as the husband of
the all-American redhead.
6. Impactful Television
• 50’s sitcom “I LOVE LUCY” was impactful in many ways:
• I LOVE LUCY was one of the first sitcoms to feature
an on-screen pregnancy as part of the plot, but CBS
would not allow the use of the word “pregnant” so
“expecting” was used instead. Additionally, each
episode about Lucy’s pregnancy had to be reviewed
by a minister, priest and rabbi in order to ensure that
they weren’t offensive to the television audience.
• The episode in which Lucy gives birth, "Lucy Goes to
the Hospital“, was watched by 44 million people,
more than any other television program up to that
time, with 71.7% of all American television sets
tuned in, topping the 67.7 rating for the presidential
inauguration coverage the following morning.
7. Impactful Television
• FIRST ON-SCREEN TOILET:
• 1957 – Leave it to Beaver (just the tank)
• FIRST LIVE 24-HOUR NEWS COVERAGE:
• 1963 - The assassination of President John F. Kennedy
• FIRST BLACK ACTOR IN A STARRING ROLE:

• 1968 – Star Trek (Kirk & Uhura)
• FIRST REALITY TV SHOW:
• 1973: An American Family (PBS)
• FIRST TIME RAP/HIP-HOP IS ON TV:

performs “Rapper’s Delight”
• FIRST TIME A CHARACTER WITH DOWN SYNDROME IS
A MAJOR CHARACTER ON TV:
• 1989 – Life Goes On
• FIRST GAY/LESBIAN KISS ON TV:
• 1991 – L.A. LAW
9. Impactful Television
• 1990’s – TV brings the topic of oral sex into people’s
living rooms amidst coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky
scandal
• 2003 – The invasion of Iraq involved unprecedented
U.S. media coverage, especially cable news networks.
The coverage itself became a source of controversy, as
media outlets were accused of pro-war bias, reporters
were casualties of both Iraqi and American gunfire,
and claims of censorship and propaganda became
widespread
• 2004 – The Super Bowl halftime show provides the
setting for Janet Jackson’s performance and her
bejeweled nipple
10. Impactful Television
• Moon Landing: 8/20/69 –
• 600 million people worldwide watched this historic event
live
• 9/11: September 11, 2001 –
• Impossible to know how many watched it live as it was
being shown so many different places – but the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center is the most
memorable moment shared by television viewers during the last
50 years, according to a recent study by Nielsen Ratings.
• Capital Riot: January 6, 2021 –
• Again, it is impossible to know how many watched it live
but the images resonated around the world and deeply
impacted all who saw them.
11. Impactful Television
•The impact of Television on culture was and
is magnified by several factors:
• The EXPOSURE of Television – for much of
the viewing audience, television provides
their formative exposure to cultures and
societies beyond their own.
• The EDUCATION of Television – for much of
the viewing audience, television provides the
basis for much of what we think and know
about the world and ourselves.
• TV = REPRESENTATION = REALITY
13. Behind The Scenes:
• “Showrunners” is the first ever feature length
documentary film to explore the fascinating world of U.S.
Television Showrunners and the creative forces aligned
around them. These are the people responsible for
creating, writing and overseeing every element of
production on one of the United State’s biggest exports –
television drama and comedy series.
• Often described as the most complex job in the
entertainment business, a Showrunner is the chief writer /
producer on a TV series and, in most instances, the show’s
creator. Battling daily between art and commerce,
Showrunners manage every aspect of a TV show’s
development and production: creative, financial and
logistical.
