Community Resource Volunteers began officially in 1977, but its roots go back to the 1960s. The idea is simple: identify local resource people, materials, events, and facilities that can be used to benefit community members old or young. CRV initiatives span the arts, outdoor recreation, science and technology experiences for junior high school and elementary students, college campus engineering laboratory workshops, and rural transportation. The 15 minute documentary at bit.ly/crv48879 is built from the images in this slide set. And while the 200+ images can be viewed according to one's own interests, only the youtube presentation includes narration and CRV founder/director Bill Richards' commentary. See crvonline.org for more information.

A year on the main Japanese island near the Japan Sea in Fukui prefecture. Photos are grouped by topic, then chronologically, as well. The images come from the larger collection appearing in ebook form at Amazon in volume 1 (countryside) and volume 2 (city views) under the title "Life and Times Today in Rural Japan" by Guven Witteveen. Speaker notes give some details of the source subject. Caption (text box) is filled with placeholder text (file name), so the user can customize that part of the slide, according to purpose.
About 200 marchers gathered from all generations to capture the attention of local news media, the downtown public, and elected government leaders. This still photos from start to completion of the march activities go from the Ah-Nab-Awen Park on the bank of the Grand River to Calder Plaza and then back across the river to complete the circle. Slide 2 gives URL to several video clips from the afternoon.
With permission of director, Mr. Liu Xiangchen, these screenshots come from the dozen video clips of his 2017 documentary project in the XUAR, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, in far west China. This sample shows the diverse views, from drone, close-up, and within daily life and special occasions. The source video clips may be seen at vimeo.com/liux
Part of the permanent exhibit is the Hall of Cultures. The circular path weaves past numerous well-lit glass cases to give a sampling of diverse traditional ways of life, past and present. It concludes with the table of four columns to summarize key characteristics of human culture: diverse, adaptive, dynamic, and symbolic.
The spaces and structures that connect interior living and work space to the outdoors are diverse. This transitional area that often form a porch or outdoor extension of the living space can be grouped into a few types.
Thinking of how best to simulate the human eyes' angle of view, the stitched panorama offers several ways to express this vision. The presentation illustrates how to do this. Merely opting for wider and wider lens will distort foreground-background relationship & impose artificial sense of motion from corner to center due to distortion at superwide angles of view. By contrast the 'normal' focal lengths (35mm equivalent of 35-65mm lens) can be used to stitch a series of overlapping frames into a panoramic whole without the wide-angle lens distortion.

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.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
