Understanding Presidential Rankings Through an Analysis of Attributes, Abilit...Brendan Blendell
The first series of presidential rankings by historians was completed in 1948 by Arthur Schlesinger, Sr. Since the publication of this influential study in Life magazine, the methodology of such expert opinion polls has changed significantly; most academic studies now contain multiple areas for ranking as well as more objective rating scales. This presentation will summarize some of the most important studies done over the past sixty-five years, focusing on differences between the methodology and correlations between different sets of rankings. The primary focus will be on the Siena Research Institute’s five surveys, all of which were conducted between 1982 and 2010. While other institutions have included multiple categories for evaluation, Siena’s polls have all been composed of a standard set of twenty groups, each of which belongs to a larger cluster of groups: attributes, abilities, and accomplishments. These three “clusters” make the Siena studies somewhat unique in that each factor can be viewed as part of a larger set of characteristics, allowing us to view presidential greatness in new ways.
This presentation will attempt to discuss some of the following questions:
Can a president’s score on a particular cluster predict his overall score?
What are the relationships between the clusters of categories?
How can the Siena system be used to rank other types of historical figures?
Is it more accurate to view “greatness” as a rank or a score?
How do non-experts normally think about presidential greatness?
Are presidential rankings as valid as they claim?
Suggestions for further research in this field and related areas will also be examined, as will new methods to improve future studies.
Donald Trump wants to build an "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall" between the US and México.
But how tall? How powerful? How beautiful? The Republican candidate's big ideas can be small on detail, and the wall is no exception.
The US-Mexico border is about 1,900 miles (3100 km) long and traverses all sorts of terrain from empty, dusty desert to the lush and rugged surroundings of the Rio Grande.

President Trump Slanders Sweden. Swedish Neo-Nazi's Celebrate.Gray Rothkopf
In 2015 Swedish Neo-Nazis manufactured a non-existent "rape crisis" to further their politics of fear by associating Sweden's record levels of immigration, and implying that immigrants are responsible for a rise in crime over the same period. This is completely false. This article shows who invented this fake news and why, how they distorted government data to do it, and how their story was finally promoted by "filmmakers" such as Ami Horowitz and U.S. conservatives such as President Trump, to further their own exclusionary, anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, and anti-Muslim agendas.

You've got an idea for a food memoir, or a narrative or even a cookbook, but you're not sure what direction to head or how to contain the many many idea you've got exploding in that industrious head of yours. Or, you're debating the route you've taken with your blog. Even a cookbook needs a narrative, a hook, a clarifying concept. A blog needs an identity. A memoir needs a clear narrative. When facing a big project, it's easy to look at the examples of success. But imitation begs a question. What makes you unique? What's your story? In this four-hour optional workshop, we'll spend some time looking at these questions, along with what makes notable food stories endure, regardless of the media in which they appear. You'll complete a series of exercises to help you start thinking about your how to find a voice for your work. We'll discuss and flesh out your concepts within a small group environment. The most difficult part of being a writer is finding your voice; the toughest part of being an author or a blogger is determining a clear way forward. Let's start the process of finding both together.
These are the slides of a workshop I conducted with my Marketing team. The objective was to ensure I generate sufficient curiosity to make them creative with their work. I won't state that this set of slides is single handedly responsible for steering them on, but there has been a marked difference in the output preceding this workshop and post the workshop. An oft heard compliment about marketing is that its output is awesome! I dedicate this presentation to my marketing team; they truly are awesome!
Learning to tell testing stories workshop v2 handout (3) euro star nov 2016Isabel Evans
Learning to tell our testing stories (90 minute workshop)
Abstract: Our ability to tell stories and our natural delight in narrative can help us communicate about testing. We will tell stories and listen to them. Use your natural ability to tell and appreciate stories to improve your communication with others. Be able to tell stories in different styles, and select which formats best suit your own testing circumstances. Be able to listen and react better to your colleagues and adapt your listening style to their story telling styles. Engage your audience, feel energised and embrace the real world of stories that are all around you.
Penny Coleman calls suicide "the most secret death because no one wants to talk about it." Suicide says none of it and none of you are worth living for; nothing is better at saying "I hate you all." But, might there be good reasons to feel this way? Dr. Jung believed troubles begin when being a homogeneous individual is an unhealthy choice for one's environment corrupted by great lies. First, it's time to let suicide out of the closet and discover the countless ways we make others intolerably uncomfortable, not just ex-husbands but everyone. Second, golfers know the best plan is not to change for the course but to change the course for you: if you have a natural slice then use it on a dog leg right. Similarly, it is life that needs to change. This is such good advice characteristically unavailable anywhere, not from your therapist, your boss, or your family and friends that I need to say it again. When people say either you need a better attitude or you need to be more agreeable you need to raise both birds high into the air and just say no! Third and finally, better boundaries will not enough. You will decide to leave; anything else would be crazy. And so, I cover some issues I think you'll want to consider before doing so.
A student in your class has made a couple of borderline rude comments but may be crossing the line today. As the facilitator, how would you handle such a situation?

Although it has been suggested that U.S. investors often check corporate values and ethics, it would seem that the principal criteria is usually only whether the executive team is perceived as having the necessary management skills to carry the company. Sadly, most organizations are wholly over-managed and under-led with bureaucratic, arrogant, and uncreative cultures. MBA schools that turn out managers and not leaders certainly don't help. The result is poorly implemented strategies, acquisitions without the needed synergy, costly re-engineering, and downsizing and quality programs that fail to deliver. Other spiritual theorists and this study substantiate that worker performance and corporate profits, however, can be increased by efforts specifically aimed at boosting personal and workplace spirituality. Dr. Scharmer calls it the "Blind Spot" of a leadership stuck in the past. In a completed pilot study, strong correlations were found between the standard Ellison Spiritual Well-Being Scale and a developed Spiritual Development Scale. In addition, strong correlations were also found between a Workplace Spirituality Well-Being Scale (based on the Open Organizational Profile survey and assessments guidelines from Kotter and Mitroff) individually each with a developed Workplace Commitment, Satisfaction, Attachment, and Values Scale as well as with a Profit Scale.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

Memorizing The Presidents
1. Memorizing The Presidents
To Improve Your Total Recall
Adapted From Ron White’s (Guinness
Memorizing Record Holder) “Improve
Your Memory, Double your Sales”
By James Maginnis
Organizational Kinetics
Copyright 2008 - 2010
2. Why?
• We would all agree that our lives would be much
worse with worse memory – and better with more
– Similarly, improving our memory can improve our sales
• Sales is the rare profession where we’ll never
know how much we might make as our incomes
increase in direct proportion to us getting better…
– This is why we work to hone our presentation skills, for
which a crucial ingredient is… our memory, in order to
recall not only product and competitive information but
also names and faces for stronger client relationships
• Just as sales can be learned, so can memory!
– These techniques shown to help prevent Alzheimer's
3. Agenda
• How does memory work?
– Emotions and sight are more important than our
hearing, touch, or other intelligences for remembering
• E.g.: Ron Clark’s “Presidents Song” fails for most students
• We’ll learn three basic tools for better memories
– Humorous Pictures with e-Motion in a familiar Place
• We’ll use these to memorize the U.S. Presidents
– Anyone can learn the first 20 in less than half an hour.
And, continue to know them even six months later.
– We will take about an hour for everyone to learn all 44
– Same method can be used to better recall anything
4. How Does Memory Work?
• We are all visual, auditory, and kinesthetic but we
tend to use one sense more says Dr. Carl Jung
– “I can’t see what your saying, show me how you did it!”
– “I hear you loud and clear; sounds like a great idea!”
– “I can’t put my finger on it; so, let’s explore it deeper!”
– Howard Gardner identified 7 types of intelligence (later
adding an 8th while others have identified 1,400 more)
• But, Neuroeconomics shows emotions are key to
memory and that simple pictures are the best as
sight is processed 25 times faster than hearing
– Esp. funny moving images in familiar surroundings:
“That image reminds me of a funny story at home…”
5. Thinking of an Elephant…
• Doesn’t produce an
image of letters (or
notes of a song)
• Recall produces a
picture seen of an
actual elephant
• Easier if made vivid
by being humorous
• For more “brain training,” see
http://www.pbs.org/saf/1402/
6. Basic Tools for Better Memories
• A Picture, converting abstract
words or ideas into sound-a-
like pictures, especially if we
create them ourselves
• With Motion, especially
something funny or odd
• In a Place, which then
provides a “filing cabinet” for
sequencing items to help in
recalling them in proper order
7. For An Example…
• Let’s work to memorize the 44 U.S. Presidents
• First, pick 5 items in 4 rooms (for 20 locations) at
home for places easy to remember… such as:
– Bedroom: closet, bookcase, dresser, lamp, bed
– Bathroom: shower, towels, toilet, sink, cabinet
– Kitchen: refrigerator, toaster, stove, dishwasher, table
– Living room: stereo, fireplace, chair, end table, couch
• You need to visualize standing in the middle of
each room and seeing your items in order
– Create images of your own actual home – not these!
• Review after learning each room’s presidents
8. Create Your Filing Cabinet
• This is no small task to complete before starting
• You must make your own personal filing cabinet
(can be used for any future memorization tasks)
• Pick any four rooms in your home (from bedroom,
bathroom, kitchen, living room, garage, family or
Arizona room, office, library, garden, game room)
• Pick any five items in each room, IN ORDER…
looking around each room in your mind from left
to right, pick five unlikely to be moved items: like,
– bedroom: closet, bookcase, dresser, lamp, and bed
9. First Room: Bedroom
• Has a closet, bookcase, dresser, lamp, and bed
– Draw five items in the order found in your first room
• Close your eyes and recite your five items…
10. Second Room: Bathroom
• Has a shower, towels, toilet, sink, and cabinet
– Draw five items in the order found in your second room
• Close your eyes and recite your five items…
11. Third Room: Kitchen
• Has a frig, toaster, stove, dishwasher, and table
– Draw five items in the order found in your third room
• Close your eyes and recite your five items…
12. Fourth Room: Living Room
• Has a stereo, fireplace, chair, table, and couch
– Draw five items in the order found in your fourth room
• Close your eyes and recite your five items…
13. Make Nine (9) Room Drawings
Quickly
make
two (2)
drawings
for each
of your
four (4)
rooms
and one
more of
the first
room…
14. Let’s Begin
• We can later use these rooms and items to help
us remember any list of words, or even numbers
• For learning the presidents’ names, we first need
to see an appropriate amusing image on each of
our familiar items (positioned in order) around the
four rooms of our home: draw them as we go.
• I’ll suggest pictures for the presidents only for the
purpose of teaching you this memorization trick;
in the future, you’ll create your own images…
which will further build your ability to recall lists.
15. Washing Machine
• There’s a washing machine in my bedroom closet!
Can you hear the
sloshing of the
machine and feel
the vibrations
through the floor?
Can you make it as real as possible in your mind?
16. Damn
• There’s a damn on my bedroom bookcase!
Can you hear the roar
of the water coming
through this damn?
What did you say?
The thundering damn
is so loud, I can’t hear you!
17. Thermos
• There’s a thermos on my bedroom dresser!
Can you smell the
hot soup in the
steaming thermos?
Doesn’t it make
you hungry?
18. Medicine
• There’s medicine falling off my bedroom lamp!
See an open medicine
bottle break open and
spill pills all over –
they’re everywhere!
(gonn’a need a broom
to clean up this mess)
19. Man rowing
• There’s a man rowing in my bedroom bed!
Hear the sound
of the oars in
the water, which
is splashing all
over the room!
(gonn’a need a mop)
20. Let’s Review
• Washing machine sloshing in my closet!
• A Damn thundering on my bookcase!
• Thermos steaming on my dresser!
• Medicine falling all around my lamp!
• Man rowing splashing in my bed!
21. Eyes Closed
• Then, let’s everyone say the list of items together
with our eyes closed: “washing machine, damn,
thermos, medicine, man rowing.” That’s great!
22. Let’s Use Those Images
• Now, we’ve stored 5 images (washing machine,
damn, thermos, medicine, and a man rowing)
into our five items or locations of our first room
(closet, bookcase, dresser, lamp, and bed)
– Can you visualize standing in your first room and
seeing the five items around you with the five silly,
moving, “real” images we’ve created on top of them?
• Let’s use those five images to help us remember
the first five presidents of the United States…
• Who was the first President of the U.S.?
23. 1. George Washington (1789-’97)
• Washing machine (Bedroom: closet)
Can you hear the
sloshing of the
machine and feel
the vibrations
through the
floor?
24. 2. John Adams (1797-1801)
• A Damn (Bedroom: bookcase)
Can you hear the roar
of the water coming
through this damn?
What did you say?
The thundering damn
is so loud, I can’t hear you!
25. 3. Thomas Jefferson (1801-’09)
• Thermos (Bedroom: dresser)
Can you smell the
hot soup in the
steaming thermos?
Doesn’t it make
you hungry?
Thermos image from http://www.popgadget.net/2006/03/lipstick_thermo.php
26. 4. James Madison (1809-’17)
• Medicine (Bedroom: lamp)
See the open medicine
bottle break open and
spill pills all over –
they’re everywhere!
(gonn’a need a broom
to clean up this mess)
27. 5. James Monroe (1817-’25)
• Man rowing (Bedroom: bed)
Hear the sound
of the oars in
the water, which
is splashing all
over the room
(gonn’a need a mop)
28. How To Review
• First, think to yourself your five items: such as
the closet, bookcase, dresser, lamp, and bed
• Read out loud while visualizing the five images
with action: such as a washing machine sloshing,
damn thundering, thermos steaming, medicine
falling, as well as a man rowing who is splashing
• Then, read the five names: such as Washington,
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe
• Try closing your eyes and recite the five images
• Then, trying to keep your eyes closed (look if you
have to) and call out the five President’s names
29. Presidents 1-5 (Bedroom)
• Closet: Washing mach.
• Bookcase: A Damn
• Dresser: Thermos
• Lamp: Medicine
• Bed: Man rowing
• Washington
• Adams
• Thomas Jefferson

30. 6. John Quincy Adams (1825-’29)
• Q-ball damn (Bathroom: shower)
This damn isn’t
holding back water
but billiard q-balls…
it’s a q-ball damn!
Look out,
this is gonn’a hurt!
31. 7. Andrew Jackson (1829-’37)
• Jack (Bathroom: towels)
See the bright red jack.
Oil is getting
all over father’s
new towels!
He’s gonn’a be mad!
32. 8. Martin Van Buren (1837-’41)
• Van burning (Bathroom: toilet)
There’s a burning
van crashing into
the toilet! Flames
and smoke are
going everywhere –
hear the water sizzling!
Burning car image from http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/06/dude_torch_my_r.php
33. 9. William Harrison (1841)
• Hairy (Bathroom: sink)
It’s Chewbacca
pitching in Boston.
He’s Hairy!
