Keynote address (Feb, 2016) to the educators in the Fort Nelson school district. We all know that we cannot teach a child without a concection... without a relationship. In the hustle and bustle of our jobs as educators, we often forget our why, the reason we got into education, of trying to make a difference with kids. In this talk, 6 Keys to Connecting are shared and discussed with the challenge of creating a more positive climate and better connections with kids in our classrooms, schools, and organizations.
On Monday, March 28, 2016, Governor Nathan Deal held a press conference at the State Capitol announcing his veto of House Bill 757, the Religious Freedom Bill.
SB 270 adds to the exemption for retired law enforcement carry privileges to include officers who are citizens of this state and have an aggregate of ten years in law enforcement with arrest powers, separated from service in good standing, and have an identification card for retired law enforcement. The bill clarifies definitions for "commercial service airport" and "major airline carrier" as it applies to those who carry a weapon into a commercial airport. Finally, the legislation provides immunity from civil liability from injuries caused by the failure of a person to use a firearm properly or lawfully to those instructors who provide safety training.
Under this legislation an employee leaving the service of the board under honorable conditions who has accumulated 20 years or more of service with board, or 20 or more years of combined service as a parole officer, a probation officer or supervisor with the Department of Corrections, or a community supervision officer with the department may retain his or her board issued weapon and badge. When a parole officer leaves the employment of the board as a result of disability arising in the line of duty, he is entitled as part of his compensation to retain his or weapon and badge in accordance with the board's rules and regulations. Should a parole officer be killed in the line of duty his board issued badge is eligible to be given to a surviving family member. The application fee for an adult offender applying to transfer his or her supervision from Georgia to any other state or territory is increased from $25.00 to $100.00.
The bill includes several other provisions which clean up the firearms Code in Title 16. The bill provides for new Georgia residents who have a carry license issued by a state which recognizes Georgia licenses to have 90 days in order to get their Georgia license. The bill states that persons who have a valid hunting or fishing license are not required to have on their person a carry license when they are engaged in legal hunting, fishing, or sport shooting on recreational or wildlife management areas owned by the state.
This legislation allows a person who leaves a place of worship upon notification that firearms are prohibited to avoid being cited as violating the Code. The bill also allows probate judges receiving applications for permits, to issue printed information on firearms safety courses. The bill also requires the Department of Natural Resources to provide on their principal website, information on hunter education and classes in this state that render gun safety instruction.

Senate Bill 308 was brought before the House this Friday, ultimately passing with a vote of 103 to 52. This legislation allows a grant program to be created in order to establish Crisis Pregnancy Centers for women around the state.
SB 308 establishes the Positive Alternatives for Pregnancy and Parenting Grant Program within the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH). The purpose of the program is to promote healthy pregnancies and childbirth by awarding grants to non-profit organizations that provide pregnancy support services. The Department of Public Health will oversee the program and execute a legal contract with a contract management agency to execute the program. The agency will be responsible for creating a grant application process, monitoring compliance, and coordinating correspondence between the DPH and direct client service providers.
The grant program will fund eight services in particular:
Medical care and information (such as pregnancy tests, STI tests, health screenings, ultrasounds, prenatal care, and birth classes)
Nutritional services and education;
Housing, education, and employment assistance
Adoption education, planning, and services
Child care assistance
Parenting education and support services for up to one year after the birth of the child
Material items such cribs, car seats, formula, etc.
Information regarding health care benefits
Grants are to be awarded annually on a competitive basis to providers that display competent experience in providing the eight grant-funded services above. DPH will determine the maximum grant amount awarded to each provider. Grants may not exceed 85 percent of the provider's annual revenue for the prior year.
The bill also requires each provider to maintain accurate records and report data to the agency on an annual basis. Reports must include the number of clients who utilized pregnancy support services; are pregnant; chose childbirth after receiving pregnancy support services; chose adoption after receiving pregnancy support services; and chose abortion after receiving pregnancy support services.
Lastly, all information collected under the grant program must remain confidential by DPH, the agency, and providers in accordance with federal and state laws on privacy and medical records. Annual audits of each provider must be conducted by an independent certified public accountant within 120 days of completing a fiscal year.
I recently signed onto HB 934, providing caregivers with both the information and access needed to apply for public assistance benefits. This bill has gone through its second read and is now due to be brought before the Human Relations and Aging Committee.
Representatives Rahn Mayo (D-Decatur), Billy Mitchell (D-Stone Mountain), Margaret Kaiser (D-Atlanta) and myself have proposed a bill allowing Georgia citizens to register to vote the day of the election. Studies show that permitting Election Day Voter's Registration increases turn out at the polls by ten percent. It is important to me that we make sure everyone has a chance to have their voices heard in the form of a vote, and this bill brings us one step closer to doing so. This bill has gone through its second read and is due to be brought before the Governmental Affairs Committee.
I have co-signed House Bill 824 along with Representative Kimberly Alexander (D-Hiram), Representative Stacey Abrams (D-Atlanta), and Representative Roger Bruce (D-Atlanta). We have proposed the title of the bill be the “Paid Sick Leave Act”. This legislation would allow employees to earn a single hour of paid leave for every 30 hours of work. The number of hours earned would be capped at 56 hours per year, amounting to a week's worth of paid sick leave. Hours that are unused will rollover into the following year, however employers are not obligated to allow more than 56 hours of paid leave per year. These hours would be used for several purposes, including personal sick leave, care for a family member and/or children, as well as preventative medical care. This legislation is due to be discussed in an Industry & Labor Committee Meeting in the upcoming weeks.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

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.
