Richard Brinsley Sheridan was an 18th century Irish playwright, politician, and theatre manager. Some of his most famous works included the comedies of manners The Rivals and The School for Scandal. The Rivals, produced in 1775, poked fun at society through its portrayal of the romantic intrigues and misunderstandings between several young couples in Bath, England. Though initially poorly received, the play became very popular after Sheridan made revisions. It established him as one of the leading writers of comedy in the English language. Sheridan went on to have a successful career as a politician and theatre manager in addition to his playwriting. However, his later life was plagued by debt due

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

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
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 Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views.

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

3. Classic Theatre of San Antonio – School for Scandal Study Guide 3
Synopsis
Sir Peter Teazle, a middle-aged and wealthy bachelor, has
just married the young daughter of a country squire. The
fashionable society of which Lady Teazle quickly becomes
a part occupies itself mainly with malicious gossip from
which no one is excluded. The most dangerous of these
backbiting cliques by far is the one led by Lady Sneerwell.
This lady attempts, through lies and letters written by the
forger Snake, to break up the love affair between Charles
Surface and Sir Peter's ward, Maria, in hopes of getting
Charles to herself. She has joined forces with Charles's
brother, Joseph, who possesses an excellent reputation in
contrast to his brother's wild and extravagant habits. Joseph
has his eye on the fortune that will one day come to Maria.
He is backed in his suit by Sir Peter, who has been
completely fooled by Joseph’s righteous exterior. Maria
sees through Joseph, however, and turns a cold ear in spite
of her guardian's expressed wishes.
Sir Oliver Surface arrives unexpectedly from Australia. He hears such conflicting reports of his nephews and
prospective heirs that he decides to look them over before he makes his arrival known. He approaches Charles in
the guise of a money lender and, in the famous “auction scene”, buys the family portraits. He becomes impressed
with Charles's sense of obligation to those less fortunate. When he approaches Joseph begging for help, Joseph is
revealed in his true colors.
Gossip has linked Lady Teazle's name with that of Charles Surface, but, in reality, she has been indulging in an
affair with Joseph for fashion's sake. The rumors about Lady Teazle and Charles come at last to Sir Peter's ears,
and, in his dismay, Sir Peter goes to Joseph's apartment to consult with him. Lady Teazle, who is in the midst of a
tryst with Joseph, sees Sir Peter's arrival and hastily hides behind a screen. Sir Peter, in turn, hides in a closet, when
Charles unexpectedly arrives. Both Lady Teazle behind the screen and Sir Peter coming out of his closet are
inadvertently revealed.
Lady Teazle throws herself on Sir Peter's mercy with the frank confession that she was pretending to have an affair
because it was the fashion but admits that her only real interest is in her own husband. Sir Oliver meanwhile has
rounded up Snake, the forger. Snake’s confession brings about a reconciliation between Charles and Maria, and Sir
Peter gladly withdraws his objections to this match.

About Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Dramatist and statesman Richard Brinsley Sheridan was
born in Dublin in 1751. His father was an actor and his
mother a playwright.
Most of Sheridan’s dramatic career was marked with
success. School for Scandal premiered on the 8th of May
1777 and was a huge success. Initially the Lord
Chamberlain refused to license the play but changed his
decision on the basis of his personal friendship with
Sheridan. Up to the very last moment before the first
performance, Sheridan was rewriting the play. It has since
been universally regarded as a masterpiece. Until the end
of the century, it was performed more than any other play
in London. Despite its popularity, Sheridan did not allow it
to be printed during his lifetime. By the late 1770’s,
Sheridan had become regarded as one of the leading
playwrights of his day.
School for Scandal continued to attract larger audiences than any other play at that time. His only other
completed play during the next 36 years of his life was Pizarro, an adaptation of a German melodrama, in 1799.
Sheridan entered Parliament for Stafford in 1780, and the next 32 years of his career were spent in politics
rather than the theatre. He was made one of the Undersecretaries for Foreign Affairs and, in the following
coalition ministry, was appointed Secretary to the Treasury. When the Whig Party came into power in 1806,
Sheridan became the Treasurer of the Navy; but, seated on the opposition’s side of the house, he had much less
influence and power.
After the loss of his first wife in 1792, he married again in his early forties to 19-year-old Esther Ogle, daughter
of the Dean of Winchester. Sheridan’s last years were plagued with debt and poverty. He died on the 7th of July
1816 and was buried with great ceremony in Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey.

Analysis of Major Themes
Honor
Honor seems to be in short supply in School for Scandal: Lady Teazle is considering abandoning
the ideas of integrity that she learned growing up in the country, Joseph is ready to betray his
brother to secure a wealthy wife, and Charles is hopelessly in debt to moneylenders. Even Sir
Oliver, whose honor should be above question, is ready to assume a disguise to test his nephews’
true nature. By the conclusion of the play, however, it is clear that only the gossips lack true honor.
Lady Teazle realizes that she values her husband and has proven her worth. Charles, though foolish
and intemperate with gambling and money, is honorable. He pays off his debts and is willing to
help a poor relation without being asked. Sir Oliver’s deception unmasks Joseph’s hypocrisy.
Morality
Sheridan asks his audience to question the morality of society in this play. Slandering one’s
neighbors, acquaintances, and friends is an entertainment. There is no real interest in the truth, and
even less consideration is given to the damage that such gossip causes. In the early acts of School
for Scandal, the subjects of such gossip are not known to the audience, who cannot determine the
truth of Lady Sneerwell and Mrs. Candour’s observations. By the last act, it becomes clear that
these gossips need absolutely no element of truth to fuel their stories. The falling of the screen in
Joseph’s library and the confrontation that took place immediately after are fresh in the audience
members’ minds. The earlier scene serves as a nice contrast to the speculation and innuendo that
engages the gossips.
Truth and Falsehood
Trying to determine the truth occupies much of Sheridan’s play. Lady Sneerwell and Snake are
engaged in deception and falsehood, and Joseph is willing to bend the truth to get what he wants.
When Sir Oliver, disguised as old Stanley, approaches Joseph to ask for money, Joseph easily
claims that he has no money. Joseph even blames his brother, Charles, stating that Charles’s free-
spending has left Joseph without funds. Of course the gossips have no interest in the truth. Their
goal is to entertain one another with wild speculation. When compared to such exciting
exaggerations as the gossips’, reality and truth are simply uneventful.
Wealth
This is certainly a play about wealth. The poor in London were much too busy trying to find shelter
and food to engage in such idle distractions as gossip or gaming. Wealth really sets the characters
in this play apart from the rest of society. For instance, Sir Peter complains that his wife spends
too much on silk dresses and fresh out-of-season flowers. Charles spends his money gaming and
drinking with his friends, and the moneylenders are on their way to being wealthy thanks to idle
young men such as him. Maria is the object of Joseph’s plotting only because she is wealthy, and
Sir Oliver is primarily interested in the morals of his nephews only because he plans to leave them
his wealth.

Lesson Ideas / Activities
Changing Genres
In groups of two or three, choose a scene from the play to rewrite slightly in order
for it to fit into a different genre. Perform your scene for the class. Have fun with
it!
1. Discuss what is happening in this scene.
2. What conflicts arise in this scene?
3. Discuss the characters’ personalities.
4. During the scene, what do the characters individually want and how do they
try to get what they want?
Status Improvisation
1. The whole group discusses status levels in society and how status changes.
2. A group of people will often respond to each other in a manner dictated by
their perceived status.
3. To demonstrate this, the group divides in half: the actors and the audience.
4. Each actor is given a numbered playing card between 1 and 10, 10 being the
highest possible status and 1 the lowest.
5. Each actor holds the card to his or her forehead so he or she does not know
the value of the card, but everyone else does.
6. Improvise a scene (such as a party) in which each actor treats the others as
though they have the status of their card’s value. For example: if an actor has
a low number, he or she might be ignored. If the actor has a high number,
he or she should be treated with respect.
7. After the improvisation, each actor has to guess his or her own status.
Gossip Chain
Begin a gossip chain at the front of the class by whispering a sentence to the first
student in the first chair on the first row. Have him or her pass the same sentence
along until it gets to the last student sitting in the last chair on the last row of the
classroom. Ask the last student to repeat the sentence that he or she heard. Chances
are that the sentence will be quite different from the one that you originally
whispered in the first student's ear.
Surface Vision
Summarize the play from either Joseph or Charles's point of view.

Post Play Discussion Questions
• Identify the conflicts in the play. Use these to reveal
the themes which bind the story together.
• Identify the themes within the story and, for
each theme, find a scene from the play which
best illustrates it.
• School for Scandal is a comedy of
manners in that it satirizes the social values,
virtues, and vices of its time. Is there an equivalent
in today’s world to Lady Sneerwell’s “school for
scandal”?
• In the play, marriage and money are
connected. How do you think social values
have changed since the 18th century?
• Consider the money lending in the play. What
are the relationships between debtor and
creditor? What point do you think is being
made about money lending?
• In small groups, discuss what a contemporary
comedy of manners would look like. What
aspects of today’s values would you choose
to satirize? Where would the play take place?
What would the characters be named?

Theatre Etiquette
Going to a play is a special experience, one that you will remember for a long time.
Everyone in the audience has been looking forward to seeing the performance. A
production team puts in many long hours and a lot of hard work to mount a
performance for an audience. If you keep in mind common courtesy for the
performers as well as your fellow audience members, everyone’s theatre
experience will be optimized. What follows are a few reminders for attending the
theatre.
1. Plan to arrive thirty minutes before the performance begins.
2. Gum, food, drinks, or candy are never allowed in the theatre.
3. Please go to the bathroom before seating for the performance or at intermission.
4. TURN OFF ALL CELL PHONES or anything else that can disturb the
production, actors, or audience members during the performance. It is very
impolite to have your phone go off during the show.
5. Lights will dim just before a performance and then go dark. Acknowledge this
by sitting quietly and calmly.
6. Do not talk or whisper during the performance. The actors on stage can hear
you, which is why you can hear them so well. Laughter is of course permissible at
appropriate times.
7. Keep body movements to a minimum. You can't get up and move around during
the performance.
8. No taking of pictures or video recording is allowed.
9. Don't leave your seat until the cast has taken their curtain call at the end.
10. Show your appreciation by clapping. The actors love to hear applause. This
shows how much you enjoyed the performance!
