This document discusses concepts of space and place. It defines space as broader and more abstract than place, describing space as possibility and openness while place represents pause and location. Place only emerges as space becomes familiar and valued. The ideas of space and place require each other for definition. Sensing and inhabiting places is how we come to understand them. Communities and identities are also discussed in relation to places and how we construct ourselves and others in relation to places. The document examines challenges involved in creating change within communities.

What did you say? interculture communication [20160308 phnom penh]Frederick Zarndt
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion it has taken place. George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright, co-founder of London School of Economics, and Nobel Prize in Literature (1925).
Projects are about communication, communication, and communication. B. Elenbass in "Staging a project: Are you setting your project up for success?"
What one says to compatriots in face-to-face conversation is often misunderstood; imagine the possibilities for misunderstandings with someone from halfway around the world, natively speaking another language, and living in a different culture! In such circumstances how can you be sure that your collocutor has understood you in face-to-face (hard), telephone (harder), and email (hardest) conversations? Without being fully present in the conversation -- mindfully aware -- whether it's face-to-face, by Skype or phone, or through email, successful communication is difficult, even more so for intercultural communication.
The ubiquity of English facilitates basic communication, but its use as a common language frequently disguises cultural differences. Furthermore, to say that English (or any other language) can be ambiguous, is an understatement. But regardless of language, clear communication is essential for success in any collaborative undertaking whether done by a small co-located group or by a globally dispersed team.
This tutorial teaches mindful communication and describes frameworks useful in understanding cultural differences and gives real-life examples of misunderstandings due to such differences. Expect to take away practical tools to understand your own cultural biases and in-class practice mindful communication with your colleagues from other cultures as well as your own. You will also learn about frameworks for understanding other cultures based on work by Geert Hofstede, Fons Trompenaars, and others as well as on the presenter's own experiences.
Public speaking is the act of presenting a speech to a live audience. The document discusses the history and elements of effective public speaking. It outlines Aristotle's three modes of persuasion - ethos, pathos, and logos. There are three main types of speeches - informative, persuasive, and entertaining. The document provides tips for preparing and delivering an effective speech, including researching the topic, knowing the audience, framing the speech, practicing delivery, and using body language to engage listeners.
The document provides guidance on developing effective communication and active listening skills for mentors. It discusses establishing trust in the mentoring relationship through open communication. Guidelines are presented for communication, including being positive, recognizing different perspectives, and asking clarifying questions. The key aspects of active listening are identified as intensity, empathy, acceptance, and responsibility. Suggestions are made for improving listening through maintaining eye contact, avoiding distractions, paraphrasing, and not interrupting. The importance of providing specific, well-timed, and goal-oriented positive feedback is also highlighted.
The document describes a young boy named Juan in a Peruvian tribe who wants to join his brothers in an upcoming battle but lacks the strength and fighting skills. His older brother Bruno tries to teach him sword fighting but Juan struggles due to his weak body. The tribe's chief advises Juan that to fight well he needs to stand firmly, use his hands strongly, keep his back straight, and watch his opponent's eyes to understand their intentions.
This document provides guidance on verbal communication strategies for academic presentations and public speeches. It discusses the importance of audience analysis, setting goals, organizing content logically using a three-step method, and designing effective visuals that are simple, clearly labeled and help convey complex ideas. Engaging the audience through a conversational style, humor, stories and vocal variety is also emphasized. Intercultural communication skills like respecting differences, building trust and understanding body language across cultures are highlighted.

Exploring the script: what might we mean by a developmental orientationCELCIS
This document discusses the concept of a developmental orientation and how understanding narratives and scripts can help foster one. It explores how we develop narratives from childhood and how they shape our experiences. A developmental orientation focuses on knowing oneself, one's impact in work, and meaningfully integrating theory and practice. Rewriting scripts towards this approach involves considering interpersonal dynamics, prizing everyday interactions, commitment to learning, and embodying a way of being. Understanding narratives around shame, disruption and repair can help reframe relationships between children and adults in residential care settings.

Bio: Jenny worked at a start-up in Silicon Valley for two years, followed by over 5 years at Google in Training and Career Development, where she trained over 1,000 new hires and members of the Sales & Operations organization, including managers and directors all over the world as part of the Career Guru program. Jenny left Google in 2011 to pursue her own business full-time as a bestselling author, international speaker and business strategy coach, and has spoken at many large organizations from TEDxCMU to Pratt, Parsons, Google, Yale, Best Buy and KPMG.
Nonverbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, posture, touch, personal space, paralanguage, and silence. It is an important part of interpersonal communication, as research shows over 65% of social information is communicated nonverbally. Different types of nonverbal communication include kinesics, proxemics, haptics, occulesics, and paralanguage. The meanings and functions of nonverbal behaviors vary across cultures and contexts. Nonverbal communication allows people to form impressions, identify emotions, and make judgments without words.
This document discusses assertive communication. It begins by introducing the importance of communication and human relationships. It then defines three main communication styles - passive, aggressive, and assertive.
It provides examples of verbal and non-verbal cues for each style. Assertive communication is described as taking responsibility, initiative, and focusing on solutions while actively listening and being direct yet considerate.
The document also discusses cultural dimensions like individualism vs collectivism, power distance, masculinity vs femininity, time orientation, and uncertainty avoidance that influence communication between cultures. It emphasizes developing cultural intelligence to effectively communicate across cultures.
This document discusses concepts of space and place. It defines space as broader and more abstract than place, describing space as possibility and openness while place represents pause and location.

Find your subject librarian at: https://www.library.ohiou.edu/about/subject-librarians/.
More info on services for graduate students at: https://www.library.ohiou.edu/services/graduate-students/.
A needs assessment was conducted of graduate students to determine what skills workshops and library instruction should focus on. Focus groups and interviews were conducted with 34 students. Findings showed needed skills in information seeking, management, and preferred timing and formats for instruction. A survey of 842 graduate students from various programs was then distributed to gather quantitative data. Highest rated skills included citing sources and identifying published research. Areas of lowest competence included grant writing and determining where to publish. Survey results will help guide future workshop topics and outreach efforts to better support graduate students' research needs.

There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Today’s Agenda:
1. Introductions
2. Impromptu Speaking
1. yes, you will have to do it and yes, you can do it well
3. Short Activity
4. Fundamentals of A Strong, Confident Delivery
5. Constructing a Conference Presentation A Short
Case Study
6. Q&A
3. Tell Us About Yourself!
Who are you?
What do you study/where are you in your
journey?
Why are you here?
If you have a presentation coming up, what are you
the most nervous about?
If you have recently done a presentation, what do
you feel you could have improved upon?
4. Impromptu Speaking
Giving a presentation without advance preparation
Draws most often from knowledge, experience and
background
Pros
Has the potential to evidence skill
Trains one to distill complex thoughts into cohesive
messages
Cons
Lack of planning
Outcome is often uncertain
5. Impromptu Message
Components of an Impromptu Message
Attention getter
Thesis statement
Main points
Conclusion
Grammar and word choice are less important
Stay calm, avoid verbal fillers, reference notes if
necessary
Match the formality of your delivery to the setting
Don’t be afraid to re-iterate big ideas
6. Activity
Find a partner!
Think of an upcoming project OR a recently completed project
Everyone will have 2 minutes to prepare a 30 second speech about their
research
Tell us:
Who you are
Where you are from
Where you are in your journey (grad, undergrad, faculty)
WHAT you are researching/presenting (topic AND discipline)
WHY you are here/what you are looking for
After the prep time, take turns delivering the speech and providing
constructive feedback to speaker. We will then take turns presenting to the
class!
7. Providing Feedback
Message:
Did it have all the components of an impromptu
message?
Was it cohesive and did it match the occasion?
Delivery:
Did the speaker avoid verbal fillers?
Did they use appropriate gestures?
What suggestions do you have for increasing the
effectiveness of the speaker’s delivery?
9. Delivery is the key that opens the door
to your ideas!
Your audience will have formed an impression of you long before you
start speaking – but that’s a good thing! We can control that.
Delivery can be primarily broken down and examined in THREE areas:
your body, your voice, and your face.
The key to all three is MINDFULNESS – you can’t change your behavior if
you aren’t aware of what you are doing (or what you look like to others).
10. Delivery, Posture, and Gestures
• Make sure your shoulders are back and down, not hunched over and rounded.
• Keep your head up – no staring at notecards!
• Problems with nerves? Try wiggling your toes inside closed shows to release that energy
• Gestures enhance your message. Don’t be afraid to use both hands, and
make sure gestures are large enough for everyone to see – but don’t cover
your face!
• As a general rule of thumb, use a gesture:
• To show connection between related ideas
• To illustrate items in a sequence/list
• To provide general emphasis for impressive facts and statistics
11. Delivery and Vocal Inflection
• Volume is your friend – fill the room!
• Slow down
• Enunciate – consonants get lost when we get nervous.
• Slowwww Dowwnnnnnn.
• Think about the words – don’t recite lines at us
• Breathe deeply – don’t forget!
• When in doubt….. Slowwwwwwwww
Dowwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn
12. Delivery and Facial Expressions
• Eye contact: one thought delivered to one person
• No scanning the room, no staring contests
• Smile! You worked hard to get here, act like you
enjoy it.
13. Now you sound and look amazing –
Congrats!!!
But….. How do we put together a message?
Let’s work through that together, shall we?

Subverting Gothic Traditions and Rebuilding
Terministic Screens

16. FILM PROTAGONISTS HAVE LONG USED FANTASY AS A METHOD OF
COPING WITH THE TROUBLES OF DAILY LIFE….
1939
1951
1970
17. But What About Horror?
SHOWCASING THE INHERENT “HORROR” OF REAL LIFE RENDERS THE FILM
EXPERIENCE MORE IMMEDIATE FOR VIEWING AUDIENCES WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING RELEVANT, DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME REAL-LIFE
EXPERIENCES.
LET’S EXPLORE THAT, SHALL WE?
• THEORETICAL FRAMES
• PAN’S LABYRINTH AS AN EXEMPLAR OF SUBVERTING HORROR EXPECTATIONS
• USING SUBVERSIVE TECHNIQUES TO REFRAME TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES
18. Conventions of Gothic and Horror Films
THE GOTHIC: “A DISCOURSE THAT CAN APPEAR IN VARIOUS
GENRES… THAT IS STRUCTURED BY ANXIETIES OVER AND
TRANSGRESSIONS OF VARIOUS SOCIALLY SANCTIONED
BOUNDARIES.” (CHATTERJEE, 2004, P. 49)
ISABEL PINEDO’S (2004) FIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERN
HORROR:
1. HORROR VIOLENTLY DISRUPTS THE EVERYDAY WORLD
2. HORROR TRANSGRESSES/VIOLATES BOUNDARIES.
3. HORROR QUESTIONS THE VALIDITY OF RATIONALITY
4. HORROR REPUDIATES NARRATIVE CLOSURE
5. HORROR PRODUCES A BOUNDED EXPERIENCE OF FEAR
19. Rebuilding Terministic Screens with Horror Rhetoric
“REAL AND REEL VIOLENCE DO NOT EXIST APART FROM EACH OTHER… THEY ARE
CONSTANTLY OVERLAPPING.” (REIGLER, 2010, P. 32)
TERMINISTIC SCREENS: USED BY INDIVIDUALS TO DIRECT ATTENTION
OR FUNNEL FOCUS TOWARD A SPECIFIC ASPECT OF A
PROBLEM/SCENARIO (1966)
• Composed of the terms we use to describe our world
• Strongly influenced by Burke’s split conceptualization of language
• Dramatistic vs. scientistic language
MOVIES PROVIDE A QUICK, EASY WAY TO ACCESS A WHOLE NEW SET OF
TERMS AND EXPERIENCES.
20. Guillermo del Toro’s
Mexican-Spanish “dark
fantasy” Pan’s Labyrinth
premiered in 2006. The
movie garnered Oscars
for Art Direction,
Cinematography, and
Makeup, in addition to
three other
nominations.
The story is set in the
spring of 1944, five years
after the end of the
Spanish Civil War.
21. Pan’s Labyrinth as Subversion of Typical Gothic Characteristics
• PROTAGONIST OFELIA
TRANSFORMS HER REAL-LIFE
STRUGGLES INTO A SET OF
CHALLENGES TO BE COMPLETED
IN A FANTASY WORLD, AT “THE
INTERSECTION OF CHILDHOOD,
WAR, MASCULINITY, AND
MONSTROSITY.” (CLARK & MCDONALD,
2010, P. 53)
• SHE ADOPTS EACH OF THE
TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS
OF HORROR AND INVERTS
THEM TO BECOME POSITIVE
COPING DEVICES.
22. Rebuilding an Everyday World
• OFELIA REJECTS THE RIGIDITY THAT OTHERS HAVE IMPOSED ON HER LIFE AND
REPLACES IT WITH HER OWN CHOICES.
• THIS CAREFUL CONSTRUCTION OF ROUTINE COMMUNICATES TO VICTIMS OF
TRAUMA THAT THEY POSSESS THE POWER TO SYMBOLICALLY RECONSTRUCT THEIR
SURROUNDINGS.
23. Reconfiguring Boundaries
• SHIFTING THE TERMINISTIC SCREEN FROM “VICTIM” TO “REBEL”
CREATES THE PERCEPTION OF EMPOWERMENT AND PERSONAL
FREEDOM.
• THE JARRING NATURE OF OFELIA’S SITUATION ENCOURAGES ADULT
VIEWERS TO REFRAME THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES.
24. Negating Rationality
• 21ST CENTURY AUDIENCES RELATE TO LINKS TO THEIR OWN CIRCUMSTANCES,
NOT GHOSTLY WHISPERINGS.
• DEFIANCE PROVIDES AN OUTLET FOR SITUATIONS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.
• “THE WORST MONSTERS ARE HUMAN BEINGS.” (ZALEWSKI, 2011)
25. Enabling Your Own Fairy-Tale Ending
• FINDING THE STRENGTH TO
CONQUER YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES LEADS TO
PEACE.
• DEL TORO CHOOSES TO
PROMOTE HOPE AND
ACCEPTANCE RATHER THAN
LOSS AND GRIEF, PROMOTING
DRAMATISTIC FORWARD
MOMENTUM
26. Loosing the Bonds of Fear
• OFELIA’S
RESISTANCE IS WHAT
MAKES HER SO
IDENTIFIABLE – SHE IS
NOT A FINAL GIRL
• THE LESSON IS NOT
THAT DARKNESS IS
TO BE CONTAINED
AND
DECONSTRUCTED –
RATHER, WE SHOULD
EMBRACE
AMBIGUITY FOR THE
CHOICES IT GIVES
US.
27. In Conclusion…
• HORROR IS FAR AND AWAY NOT JUST A RESULT OF THE SUPERNATURAL REALM
• FILM BOTH REFLECTS DOMINANT CULTURAL WORRIES AND PROVIDES AN IDEAL
MEDIUM FOR RE-ORIENTING TERMINISTIC SCREENS
• DEL TORO’S PAN’S LABYRINTH ENCOURAGES VICTIMS OF TRAUMA TO REFRAME
NEGATIVE SCENARIOS/MEMORIES BY PROMOTING PERSONAL AGENCY AND
FLEXIBLE BOUNDARIES
