Swara Sawirs outlines a 5-week campaign plan and lists the planning, resources, and schedule needed to execute a campaign called CHANGE aimed at raising awareness of domestic abuse. The document details the equipment, software, facilities, and personnel needed which include a camera, tripod, makeup artist, model, photography room, and computer. It also includes draft logos, posters, advertisements, and proposed merchandise like bags, phone cases, and clothes branded with the campaign.
The report highlights the importance of tourism SMEs to the Canadian economy—they account for 99.9 percent of businesses in tourism industries. A detailed analysis of recent financing activities, innovation activities and financial performance follows.
The report reveals that:
Tourism SMEs tend to be younger and larger businesses that are more growth oriented than other SMEs. There are also relatively more female, immigrant and visible minority entrepreneurs operating in tourism industries.
Principal challenges faced by tourism SME owners include the rising cost of inputs, increasing competition and fluctuations in demand.
Personal financing; credit from financial institutions, such as domestic chartered banks; and leasing remain the three main sources of financing used by tourism SMEs. However, tourism SMEs experience more difficulty obtaining financing from domestic chartered banks—the main providers of external financing to SMEs—than other SMEs.
Debt financing is the most common type of financing sought by both tourism and other SMEs. However, both groups experience more difficulty obtaining this type of financing than other types of financing that are less risky.
Tourism SMEs are more likely to introduce product innovation than other SMEs. They are also more likely to benefit from increased sales and reduced costs as a result of their innovations.
On average, small businesses in tourism industries have higher total revenues than small businesses in other industries, but they also have lower average profits due to higher total expenses.

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

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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

Model Attribute Check Company Auto PropertyCeline George
In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
10. Resource List
Camera I will need a camera to be able to take the images with a professional
camera so the images are crystal clear.
Tripod and Camera Lens I will also need to ensure that my camera is very still so I can capture
a very still image of the model . I will have a clear and clean lens to
ensure I get the best quality images.
Model and Media Makeup Artist To be able to finish my project, I will need a model and a makeup
artist. I will need a model who can clearly play the part as well as a
make up artist that knows how to create the right look for domestic
abuse.
Photography Room I will need a photography room where I can set up my equipment
easily, a room that has a background white screen and good lighting.
This room will be where the photography takes place.
Photoshop, PowerPoint, Internet, and
Word
I will need Photoshop to be able to create my posters, the editing
required for the model, and to be able to create my final merchandise
piece. I will need PowerPoint and word to be able to write everything
I'm doing as I'm going along and to make sure my images are stored
safely. The Internet I need to get some plain images from and gather
some information about advertising and merchandising.
A Phone and a up-to-date Computer I will need a phone to be able to keep an eye on the time as well as
being able to get in contact with the model and the artist incase of
any delays. I will need a up to date computer to be able to create my
products and be able to work with no problem.
DaFont.com I will need to use this website to get some good fonts from which I
can use.
11. The audience I’m aiming my campaign at, are women who are
currently suffering from domestic abuse by their partners. I’m
aiming more at the older side of women such as from 20 onwards.
Obviously, some women would have been suffering from this social
issue for longer than others so therefore my posters need to be
relatable to as many women at different age gaps so they can build
a relationship with the subject and therefor they will be able to
come forward and tell us how they feel hopefully.
Women are sensitive in general, some may pretend that they are a
‘tough cookie’, when in reality, they are just so sensitive. I need to
make sure that nothing that is being said by my campaign is
offensive or rude to any women in any way possible. I need to be
careful with my choice of words so I don’t offend or get too
personal with the audience because it could result in them feeling
worse.
The Audience
14. My logo will be a rough heart that has two hands holding each
other inside of the heart. The font I will use will either be blood lust,
sensory overload, oh no, scream again, crimes times six, true lies or
love bombs because it’s all rough with unfinished endings which
will show the rough patch the victim is going through or already
has gone through and I'm targeting the adult audience. If I was
targeting a younger audience I would of used Lilly belle or Walter.
The colours I'm using will be very calm, it will be reds, whites and
maybe an outline of black so it doesn’t put my target audience off.
I will use Photoshop to create my logo, I will have a few attempts at
creating my logo and I will attach them all onto this PowerPoint to
see how much I can improve or have already improved.
Logo Idea
15. This is my first attempt at
creating a logo. My campaigns
name is on the red heart. The
black heart is suppose to
represent the pain is growing
in her heart and moving out of
her heart into her body. The
cracks going down the heart is
to show she's broken hearts.
The font I used was True Lies
simply because it’s rough and
harsh.
Logo One
16. This is my second attempt at
creating a logo. My campaigns
name is on the bottom of the
speech bubbles. The red
speech bubble is the women
saying sorry and the black
speech bubble is the husband
or partner saying how dare
you not show me your phone.
The black bubble has capitals
to show shouting and
violence. Red is used for the
women to show hurt and pain
and the black is used for the
partner to show evilness,
dullness and being harsh.
Logo Two
17. This logo is very simple, it’s
just the campaigns name with
the ribbon. Inside the ribbon is
a women that’s trying to
protect herself and her arms
are out and she's turning her
face the other way. The ribbon
is usually common with
cancer and domestic violence.
It’s a well known ribbon,
however its usually pink so I
have changed the colours to
my companies colours.
Logo Three
18. This is my final logo, this
ribbon is very known for
raising awareness for
something serious such as
cancer or domestic abuse, so
therefore people known
straight away that this
campaign is about a sensitive
subject. The woman and the
man are cut into the ribbon to
show that it’s to do with
domestic abuse. Red and black
shows pain and dullness, the
pain will be in the victim and
the dullness will be in the
abuser.
Logo Four
19. This is my final logo. I used a rose to represent people standing up
against domestic abuse. A rose is usually beautiful and it attracts
people because of how pretty it is as well as the smell of it. The rose
represents the victims who have stood against domestic violence. I’ve
also put STAND in bold because the rose is stood up strong and
therefore, the victims should stand strong also against domestic
violence.
I used the red colour to show love and pain.
Logo Five
20. I have chose this as my final logo, simply because from looking at it
you will know what my campaign is about. The rose speaks for itself
along side the words. The colours are very simple but yet they show
pain and love at the same time.
From the headlines next to the logo, you would understand what the
purpose of my campaign is.
Final Logo
22. My layout needs to be something simple so the image can speak
more than the words do. To attract the audience attention, you need
to make them feel as if you know exactly how they feel, they want
to see themselves in that poster.
The layout needs to also include subtle colours, nothing too bright
so it doesn’t put the audience off. The colours are important, I need
to use like a nice dark calm red, greys, and maybe faded blacks to
create a more angry and upset theme.
The Layout
23. Mind Map
Posters
Beaten Up
Girl
A man
hitting
his
partner
Just
writing,
no images
Having a bruised girl could
create a a strong
relationship with the
audience because they will
be able to relate to the
picture and therefor they
will start to read the poster.
Having a man hitting
his partner shows
what my campaign is
about without putting
any words in the
poster. People will
understand straight
away what the
campaign is about.
Having a strong message with
a symbol to represent the
abused women could work
pretty good. It would have a
different effect on people.
They wont know what the
poster is about straight away
so they will start to read it and
find out more.
24. This is my first attempt at
creating a poster. I think I
could improve this a lot by
adding real images of people
who look like they have
suffered from Domestic
Abuse. I like this poster
because it’s comparing the
situation to something else
that the person will feel like
inside. The poster is telling
people what to do and not to
do and I don’t think that’s a
good idea if they are not
feeling too good about
themselves already.
Poster One
25. I like this poster because I
think the image speaks for
itself. We can see straight
away what is going on and I
don’t think the poster needs
any words to describe what’s
going on. The logo is on the
bottom right hand corner
which then shows my
campaign to the views. The
quote at the top left corner is
there to try to get the audience
to think twice about the
situation, domestic abuse
doesn’t happen for one reason,
it’s happens for many reasons.
Poster Two
26. I like this poster, I could of
done a lot more to it. I
could off added in real
facts and also added in my
logo. I like the image
because it shows a beaten
up girl ion two different
side, depending on which
side of her face you look at
first, you may find a nice
shiny clear side or you
might find a dull, dark
and bruised side. I think
the way the photo is
captured is great because
it all depends on which
side of her face the
viewers notice first.
Poster Three
27. This poster is slightly
different, I think it may
work better for
merchandise. The original
image is the exact same as
the silhouette but it just
has the models faces in as
well as being in full
colour. I turned the
models in silhouette to
create a different poster
with a different effect on
the audience to the rest of
my posters.
Poster Four
28. This is my fifth poster but
not my last or final poster.
At this point, my posters
are improving a lot and
using a lot more technical
skills. As you look down
the poster, the model
fades. Which is suppose to
show how she may be
feeling inside; weak and
faded. It’s telling you that
you should seek help if
you are suffering from
abuse, it’s trying to reach
out to people.
Poster Five
29. I like this poster because
you can see the bruising
clearly on the models face.
It’s telling the audience
that domestic abuse isn’t
just physical, it’s asking
the audience if they can
see how she's hurting
inside as well. The fading
of her body is to hide her
better half of her physical
appearance to show that
people only care when it
appears on your skin.
Poster Six
30. This is my seventh poster
and I like it because it’s
very plain.
The image speaks louder
than the words.
I used different fonts for
NO and HEP to make it
stand out and show
people that it’s not
acceptable and that it’s
hard to say NO to it
happening and you’re
scared to ask for help
when you’re the victim.
I put my logo on the
bottom left corner to show
my campaign name and
raise awareness of it.Poster Seven
31. This is my eighth poster and
I like it because it’s very
plain, once again the image
speaks louder than the words
and you can see for yourself
what a beaten up woman
looks like.
I used a shocking fact to
show people that this isn’t
something that just happens
in marriages, it happens
everywhere and with
everyone, mostly around the
age when people are in
university.
I put my logo on the bottom
right corner to show my
campaign name and raise
awareness of it. I didn’t make
it very big because I wanted
people to be more focused on
the shocking fact.
Poster Eight
34. Advertising is basically a competition, you are trying to show that
your product is better than anyone else’s within the same business
industry. You advertise using different media platforms, such as
magazines, TV adverts, online adverts e.g. using YouTube etc…
The competition is always hard in any industry, as a campaign, all the
details you display has to be true otherwise you could easily be
sewed.
You need to have a purpose to why you are advertising the campaign,
are you trying to raise awareness? Trying to build a relationship with
the subject? Trying to change attitude towards the subject? Even if
you have more than one purpose to why you are advertising your
campaign, you have to show it in the advert.
You are trying to make your campaign have a wider audience from
all over the world, try to find a way to attract people’s attention,
originality is needed.
Advertising Tips
35. The best way to get your campaign
and merchandise out there is by
using different media platforms.
Advertising on YouTube and
Spotify is great because I will be
able to catch the young people’s
attention. Using TV, radio, news
and magazines, I will be able to get
everyone else’s attention from
different age gaps through using
those 4 different platforms.
If I wanted to, I could send out little
A5 or A6 poster cards with different
makeup products such as AVON.
So when AVON sends out their
monthly booklet, the household
will also get a little poster of my
campaign.
Best Ways To Advertise
36. Women’s Aid took the world by
storm when they published
their street advert which has
attracted so many different
people’s attention. As you look
at the ad, all what you see at
first is the bruised model,
however, the longer you stare
at it, the more the model’s face
starts to heal. This shows that
all it takes is someone to notice
the violence for it to actually
stop. This Ad is clearly raising
awareness and create a
relationship with the subject,
Women’s Aid
37. The longer you look at the ad,
the more the model starts to
heal. However, the longer you
look at the ad, you’ll start to see
your face at the bottom of the
poster. This happens because at
the top of the ad, there is a
camera which uses facial
recognition technology which
makes it possible for different
members of the public’s face to
appear on the ad. They will then
receive a text message which is
sent out by WEVE which you
can easily opt out of if you wish
so.
Women’s Aid
38. Merchandising is tricky, you want to create a product that other
campaigns haven't created, which makes life a little bit harder; simply
because you have to come up with your own product that no one
have come up with before. E.g. women’s aid ad in the street.
Your logo should be featured in the piece of merchandise, you are
trying to get your campaign known in the industry as well as raising
awareness for the subject you are fighting against.
Websites such as redbubble is really good to put your merchandise
on, the only issue with it you don’t make any profit until you earn
over £13.
Merchandise Tips
40. Examples of My Own Merchandise
This is my first design for some
of my merchandise. I believe it’s
worked fairly well. It’s worked
well as a pillow, iPad case,
sticker, notebook and a bag.
The only issue I have with some
of these products is that you
cant see the campaigns logo in
some of them so therefore my
campaigns name may take a
little while to get recognized by
the public.
All these products will be
available for sale on redbubble,
the website is easy to use and it’s
available to everyone. It also
means I don’t have to worry
about printing anything out as
they do all the work, all what I
have to do is just design.
41. This is a badge, I designer
for my own idea of
merchandise. I like this
badge because I think it’s
fairly obvious what we are
fighting against. It has my
logo in the middle and it
has a title doing around the
badge.
What I can do with this
badge is create different
types of it. So for example, I
can create a survivor badge
so they can feel they have
achieved something from
getting away from the
subject.
Examples of My Own
Merchandise
42. As my fourth piece, I
created a front page of what
will be my website. On the
left hand side you can click
on different tabs to get to
where you need to be.
I used three colours which
were red, black and white.
Those are the colours that
represent pain, love and
emptiness.
On the top left corner there
is my logo and on the right
hand corner there is a 24
hour help phone.
