Los consumidores de drogas históricamente han sufrido estigmas por utilizar sustancias fiscalizadas. El artículo presenta la gestión del estigma por parte de los consumidores de drogas, es decir, como controlan las situaciones para consumir drogas y evitar el estigma. Se presentan tres categorias de consumidores en relacion al estigma: los autoestigmatizados que a pesar de ser consumidores reproducen el estigma. Los precavidos que camuflan la característica de consumidor en ciertos contextos para evitar el estigma. Y, los transformadores que se presentan como consumidores porque es un atributo como cualquier otro y se debe trabajar para la aceptación de los consumidores.
Presentación realizada el 5 de diciembre de 2015 en Expocannabis Uruguay.
Descripción: La normalización socio-cultural del cannabis ha cristalizado progresivamente en las últimas décadas: cada vez hay menos la alarma, se presenta una mayor tolerancia, más gente conoce sus riesgos y sus daños, se manifiesta en diferentes estratos socio-culturales, la accesibilidad es notoria, etc. Pero el cannabis aún despierta ciertos recelos entre diferentes colectivos y estamentos, porque más allá de la cuestión jurídica, el prohibicionismo ha colonizado el imaginario colectivo sobre el qué son las drogas en nuestra sociedad, produciendo una imagen asociada a la marginalidad y a la desviación. La normalización partió de una posición subalterna respecto a las propuestas de «receta única» del prohibicionismo. Posición que paulatinamente gana espacio en la realidad cotidiana y debilita la hegemonía prohibicionista.

This presentation was presented to a face to face audience and an online one, through elluminate, as part of the Innovations Showcase, for the Victorian Education and Early Childhood Development in Australia. The showcase was a prelude into Education week, where Shine is the theme.
On Friday 4th October 2019, we launched our Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) for P6 and P7 pupils. JASS is a Duke of Edinburgh style award for 10-14 year olds and stemmed from an original idea by Sciennes staff! Today it is an international programme, recognising young people's personal achievements. Pupils can gain Bronze in P6 and Silver in P7 (with Gold achievable by the end of S2). All our pupils attending Lagganlia next week will gain accreditation for one quarter of the award, the 'Adventure' element. P7A Lauder pupils shared their memories of Benmore and what they are looking forward to at Lagganlia.
P3 pupils gave a presentation on their Harvest Appeal for Foodbank and reminded everyone that donations can be handed in to Class Teachers until Friday 11th October. P3 pupils will come and collect. Local Minister Stuart Irvin from St Catherine's of Argyll and a representative from Foodbank will join us for a Harvest Assembly next Friday.
Elika in P5 shared her amazing experience at the launch of the Sir David Attenborough Polar Research Vessel and P7 Rebecca announced this year's ECO Reps. It was a very difficult choice with over 150 out of 375 pupils showing interest in the 12 P4-P7 places. An indication of how important environmental issues are to our young people. Congratulations to Elizabeth who retains her World Stone Skimming Champion title and to all the girls who performed in an amazing ballet production of Cinderella by the Grange School of Ballet at the Churchill Theatre. P7A Lauder pupils led the singing superbly this week!

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.

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

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.

Keep stirring it until the Brigadeiro starts to get thick. Once it has the proper consistency take it off the heat and keep stirring for about a minute so that the Brigadeiro won't stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Put it on a greased bowl or a tray and wait for it to cool. Enjoy and be happy forever! Hint: Once the Brigadeiro is still hot on the saucepan it will look softer, but as it cools down it will get more solid. Cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHOtPxJ9rdc 5 6
5. Daytime Student of the month Evening Student of the Month! Hi, I’m Julio Alberto Alegre Stelzer from Brazil. I’m in class 502 Hi! I’m Fernanda Dias and I’m in E300. Fernanda Dias was born on 23 October, 1985. She is from Sao Paolo, Brazil. She arrived in Sydney on 26 Sepember, 2010 and should be back in Brazil in October 2011. Currently, she is in the Intermediate level. How long will you study at Navitas? From now, I have 6 more weeks Why did you choose Sydney to study?

I’m doing some subjects from my university (biology) and I try to learn Australian culture How is your life in Australia? Quite easy. My routine is not over charged. Talk a bit about your background. I’m a biologist. I used to work in research program. I came Australia to improve my English for my job. What do you expect for the future? Keep working on what I’m doing now. Congratulations from everyone at Navitas, Julio! How long will you study at Navitas? I’ve already paid until September, which means a year. Why did you choose Sydney to study? I had different reasons, such as, my teacher’s advice, I’ve got some relatives living in Australia. But the main reason is I like the weather. For us it’s really important; we love the sun and beaches. What do you do in your free time?Actually I don’t have much free tim, because I’ve been working very hard. When I have free time I usually prefer to relax at home. Only on Fridays sometimes I go out. I really like spending time with my husband enjoying his company.

Talk a bit about your background.I have an Accounting degree from Brazil. I got married last January in here with my husband, and he is also from Brazil. We’ve been together for 4 years or so. In few words, I can say that my life changed totally here in Sydney, for example, married status, wishes, priorities and expectation of life. What do you expect for the future?I would like to extend my visa to study something related to my career (accounting), but unfortunately I can’t afford it. Then, I’ve been thinking about living abroad, to know different cultures and maybe go back to Brazil. I just said maybe because even missing Brazil and my family, now my family is new and is my husband. 7 8
