Refugees flee their home countries due to war, persecution, or threats to their safety based on factors like nationality, race, religion, politics, or social groups. They are forced to abandon their homelands and lives, escaping secretly or being chased out in fear for their lives. Those who make it out of their country are considered refugees but face difficulties like fatigue, separation from loved ones, and fears of further danger, victimization, or death during the escape. The document calls on readers to support refugees through community engagement, advocacy, and prayer.

Deep Reinforcement Learning Through Policy Optimization, John Schulman, OpenAIJack Clark
This document discusses deep reinforcement learning through policy optimization. It begins with an introduction to reinforcement learning and how deep neural networks can be used to approximate policies, value functions, and models. It then discusses how deep reinforcement learning can be applied to problems in robotics, business operations, and other machine learning domains. The document reviews how reinforcement learning relates to other machine learning problems like supervised learning and contextual bandits. It provides an overview of policy gradient methods and the cross-entropy method for policy optimization before discussing Markov decision processes, parameterized policies, and specific policy gradient algorithms like the vanilla policy gradient algorithm and trust region policy optimization.

This document summarizes an eTwinning project called "Teachers4Europe: Eu4all, a workshop on Democracy". The project involved students ages 4-13 from 6 European countries collaborating online to learn about democracy, EU values, and each other's countries. Activities included creating a logo, e-book, game, and surveys. Evaluations found that students learned about the EU and collaboration, while teachers benefited from exchanging ideas and using technology. The project will continue next school year.
The educational program entitled "Eu4all, a workshop on Democracy and Human rights" took place in the framework of Erasmus+ KA3 Teachers4Europe: Setting an Agora for Democratic Culture (2018-22).
Most students recognized the European Union flag but had incomplete knowledge about the EU. While over half knew democracy originated in Greece, many students understood democratic power comes from the people. The questionnaire also found students aware of the EU's impact on their lives and wanting to learn more about the European Union.

Kira Sarakosti is an old Greek Easter tradition represented by a small paper or bread figure of a nun-like woman with seven legs. Each leg represents one week of Lent and the figure was used as a calendar to count down the weeks until Easter. In older times in Greece, one of the legs would be cut off each week starting from Clean Monday until only one leg remained on Holy Saturday. The final leg piece would be hidden in a dried fruit and brought luck to whoever found it. Thus, Kira Sarakosti served as a folkloric representation of Lent that has now mostly disappeared as a custom in Greece.
