How to show warning _ error messages in Odoo 16 Celine George
In this Slide, we will discuss exceptions in odoo15. The exceptions are the error messages. These are used to prevent the execution of programs in certain situations for your needs.
A Workshop provided to the Singapore Institute of Management, on 25 August 2021.
Abstract: Technology has changed the way we now teach, particularly as we have now moved much of our teaching online. But that poses some challenges for us, as many of us know how to teach in a face-to-face mode, but it’s not the same when we move online. At least it shouldn’t be, as there is so much more we can do to make it better for our students. This workshop looks at how lecturers can decide on which tools to use when looking to enhance their teaching with technology. Which means, it is about choosing the best teaching techniques within the context of your technology environment. Essentially it is looking to engage students through active, collaborative and authentic learning experiences and choosing the corresponding technology tools to match.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

• One of the most deprived local authorities in
England
• Twice the national average unemployment,
children in care, etc
• 90 schools - 75 „primary‟, 15 „secondary‟
• Anti-bullying coordinator & behaviour support
manager to 2007
• Now independent, solution-focused practice in

Where are you now?
• On a scale of 1 to 10
• Where 10 is: I know a lot about solution
focused stuff! ( & sf anti-bullying).
• And 1 is: I’ve heard a bit about it…..
• Where are you now?
• 1 – 3 ?
• 4 – 6 ?
• 7 – 10 ?
6. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 6
Aim
• “Show and tell!”
• Solution-focused anti-bullying
• Working with school staff, or maybe a
group of staff
• Working in classes with pupils

Bullying research
Traditional projects led by „experts‟ – Dan Olweus in
Norway was the first - often University staff, based
on theories about bullying:
– What is bullying?
– Who are bullies and why?
– Who are victims and why?
– Where and when does it happen?
– How often does it happen?
– What are the consequences?
– What is effective in reducing bullying?
8. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 8
Traditional anti-bullying projects:
Dan Olweus in Norway & Sweden
(Bergen Project 1983 & several others)
Peter Smith in England
(Sheffield Project 1991)
• Survey of bullying, before & after intervention
Raising awareness of the problem:
• Training for staff about bullying
• Meetings & information about bullying for parents
• Teaching pupils about bullying: assemblies, class discussions &
activities
• Strategies to deal with incidents
“Whole-School Policy”
10. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 10
How effective are they?
• Outcomes are disappointing, despite the hype!
• Schools often drop out, or don‟t implement fully
• Any reduction can be short term
• Sometimes leads to an increase in bullying
• No clear evidence for what works
11. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 11
Meta-analysis of projects
“Only one program [Olweus] yielded significant
reductions in victimisation and bullying, while the
other 13 yielded either negligible changes or
increases on these outcomes”
(Smith, Cousins & Stewart, 2005, p. 744; Smith, Schneider, Smith &
Ananiadou, 2004).
Olweus‟ Bergen results have never been replicated,
despite many attempts…
12. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 12
Researchers (not the only ones!) tend to congratulate
their intervention for any success and blame the
schools for any failure… e.g. lack of time and
commitment, pressure from too many initiatives,
changes in staff, lack of leadership…
They don‟t seem to consider blaming their project!
• Schools without support from researchers often
appear to do better!
• So who are the experts in anti-bullying?
Time to do something different?!

Describing the preferred future
Move into small groups of 3/4… Parents… teachers…
pupils… head-teachers… visitors… other staff?
Imagine you visit a school tomorrow… What will you see
that tells you it is a friendly, supportive and safe
community, a 10?
Go round the group – each person in turn, one idea each
• The first thing I would notice that would tell me this is a
friendly school is...
• Another thing I would notice about a supportive school..
Someone make a list as you go. Keep going round… What
else? What else? What else?
18. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 18
Priorities and feedback
• Review your list together and agree the two most
significant
• Feedback
• Notice if the same ideas occur in more than one group…
• The differences that makes all the difference!
• What else do you notice that‟s interesting?
19. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 19
Into pairs!
• Stand up
• Find someone you don‟t know, introduce
yourselves
• Move two chairs so one person can see
the display over the shoulder of the other
• Sit down
20. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 20
• Guided solution-focused interview
• The questions are displayed
• Interviewer, listen for any strengths or
skills, either explicit or implicit, in what
your partner says.
• Interviewee, try to answer the questions as
fully as you can
• Talk about a school you know well
21. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 21
Given all the existing constraints ( of funding, staffing,
buildings, pupil intake )….
“On a scale of 1 to 10… Where 1 is nothing is done to
make your school a friendly place to be… 10 is as
friendly as you can imagine your school being…
• Where is your school now?
• What makes the school so high (and not one less)?
• How do staff encourage friendship already? + +
• What else helps make it so friendly? + +
• How do pupils help to make it as friendly as it is? +
• How do parents help?
(NB NOT why is it not higher?)
22. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 22
Given all the existing constraints (of funding, staffing,
buildings, pupil intake….)
On a scale of 1 to 10….Where 1 is nothing happens to
make your school a supportive place to be…. 10 is the
best you can imagine your school being….
• Where is your school now?
• What makes the school so high? – (and not one less)?
• What else do staff do to support pupils? + +
• How do pupils support each other already? + +
• How do you support pupils? + + +
• How do you know this helps?
(NB NOT why is it not higher?)
23. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 23
Working with class groups
• Outcomes for projects report schools as a whole, rather
than classes
• Some evidence to suggest this is misleading
• The difference in bullying may be as large between
classes in schools as between schools
• Recent review of projects suggested that class
intervention more important than whole school
24. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 24
Classroom work
What do staff do already that promotes
friendly and supportive relationships in the
classroom?
Recognising existing strengths / skills
• Birthday cards
• Secret friends
• What else??
25. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 25
Groups of 4/5
Friendship Week
• The government in England recommends all schools
have an “Anti-Bullying Week”
• How about “Friendship Week” instead !
• In groups make a list of 20 possible suggestions as if
it were next week… the smallest things you can do
to promote a friendly atmosphere in school…
• Each person choose one activity they liked best
26. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 26
Gossip praise!
• Stand up
• Find someone not in your group
• Tell each other the idea you have heard
that you think is best…
• Point to the person who said it !
27. sue@young .karoo.co.uk 27
What is the difference between activities for
• anti-bullying week … and
• friendship week… ??
When people use their own experience and ideas
to build on what they do already it is more likely
to bring about sustainable change

Where school staff figure out what they are doing when
they succeed…recognise their own successful past
Where staff and pupils are given the time and

and build on their strengths
Those of us who support schools can help by appreciating
the existing skills in schools and encouraging them to do
a little more of what works already.
