This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. Silicon Carbide (SiC)
▪ Ceramic crystal with approximately 250 polymorphs
▪ 2 Major Polymorphs
▪ α-SiC (Hexagonal Crystal Structure)
▪ Forms at >1700°C
▪ β-SiC (Cubic Crystal Structure)
▪ Forms at <1700°C

7. Natural Sources of SiC
▪ Moissanite-naturally occurring SiC
▪ Found in meteorites and as inclusions in diamonds, kimberlite, lamproite
▪ Extremely rare, only synthetic SiC is used
LamproiteKimberlite
8. Acheson Process (1896)
▪ 50% Silica (quartz sand), 40% carbon (petroleum coke), 7%
sawdust, 3% NaCl heated in Acheson furnace to 2700°C, then
cooled gradually
▪ Acheson furnace
▪ Heated by resistivity-current passes through a graphite core
surrounded by reactants
▪ SiC layer forms around graphite core
Cross Section of Acheson Furnace
C + SiO2 → SiO + CO
SiO2 + CO → SiO + CO2
C + CO2 → 2CO
2C + SiO → SiC + CO
9. Acheson Process (1896)
▪ No control over purity of crystals
▪ No polymorph/polytype control
▪ Sawdust and salt used to increase purity
▪ Sawdust increases mixture porosity
▪ NaCl reacts with volatile metal impurities
10. Lely Process (1955)
▪ SiC lumps packed between two concentric graphite tubes
▪ Inner tube removed, leaving porous SiC layer contained within larger graphite
tube (Crucible)
▪ Crucible placed in furnace with SiC , heated to 2500°C under Argon at 1 Atm
▪ SiC powder near crucible wall sublimes and decomposes due to higher
temperature
▪ SiC crystals nucleate on inner SiC surface due to lower temperatures
12. Lely Process (1955)
▪ Forms high quality crystals compared to Acheson Process
▪ Low product yield
▪ Irregular crystal sizes
▪ No polytype control (Usually forms hexagonal crystals)
13. Seeded Sublimation Method (1978)
▪ Modified Lely Process
▪ Uses same crucible setup from Lely Process, except with inner tube left in
▪ Inner graphite tube is thin and porous
▪ Crucible heated to 2200°C in Argon with <1 Atm
▪ Temperature gradient (20-40°C/cm) applied over length of crucible
▪ SiC powder temperature at bottom of crucible is greater than seed temperature
16. Seeded Sublimation Method (Modern)
▪ Source placed at bottom, seed at top
▪ Used to produce bulk SiC
▪ 90% yield
17. Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE)
▪ Used to produce thin films of SiC
▪ SiC substrate attached to graphite holder dipped
into liquid Si with dissolved C
▪ Holder rotated continuously to promote radial
growth
▪ Slow cooling is driving force for crystal formation
▪ Performed at 1650 – 1800°C
▪ Growth rate: 2 – 7 µm/hour
18. Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE)
▪ Low solubility of C in Si (15% at 2800°C)
▪ Scandium, Terbium, Praseodymium added to increase solubility to 50%
▪ Argon increases atmospheric pressure, reducing Si vapor pressure effect
19. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
▪ Seed crystal placed in vertical reactor made of
graphite
▪ Silane (SiH4) and propane (C3H8) diluted in helium
(carrier gas) enter reactor through cracking zone
▪ Cracking zone-heated walls which produce
reactive radicals from gas
▪ Reactor walls covered with SiC to prevent
graphite evaporation
▪ Growth rate: 0.5 – 0.8 mm/hr at 200-800 mbar,
2000 - 2300°C
