Ladders and Stepladders
Ladders and stepladders are not banned for work use but require a risk assessment. They may be suitable for short duration, low-risk tasks if fall protection like securing the ladder cannot be reasonably used. A pre-use check of ladders is required to ensure they are safe, with defects making them unsafe for use. Ladders should be positioned at a 75 degree angle and not worked off the top three rungs or beyond the ladder's safe reach. Stepladders require keeping two feet on the same step and maintaining three points of contact.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Session 4
- 1. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 1 of 7 Session 4 Unit 104: Carrying out bricklaying activities
- 2. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 2 of 7 Cut bricks in a broken bond should be placed as near to the centre of the wall as possible. If there are doors or windows in the wall, the broken bond can be placed underneath one of them. When a half-bat is built into a course of brickwork, the course above and below it will contain two three- quarter cuts (or bats) to maintain the bond.
- 3. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 3 of 7 When cutting bricks, the aim is to produce clean, sharp edges especially on the face side of the cut brick. This will ensure a good appearance in the finished wall. Make sure you are using the right PPE (safety glasses or goggles, etc) and workers nearby are aware that you are cutting bricks.
- 4. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 4 of 7 It’s a good idea to gently press the edge of the palm of your hand against the surface you’re cutting. This will ‘damp’ the vibrations going through the brick and help to prevent it shattering. Many bricks have good compressive strength but are brittle and shatter easily.
- 5. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 5 of 7 In stretcher bond, the most frequently used cut is a half-bat. We could use a tape measure and a pencil to mark the size of the cut. The dimension of a half-bat is the same as the header face of a standard brick (102.5mm).
- 6. Level 1 Diploma in Bricklaying © 2013 City and Guilds of London Institute. All rights reserved. 6 of 7 If we have a large number of cuts to produce, we could use a brick cutting gauge to speed the work up. Whether we use a brick gauge or a tape measure and pencil to mark the brick, always aim for accuracy. This will make producing a quality piece of brickwork a much easier task.
