We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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 weed bandwagon is moving swiftly, and more countries within and outside Europe are joining the trend.
Italians are not left behind. In the coming months, Italy may join the list of countries with total or partial
cannabis decriminalization reforms. The majority of registered voters have come around to create a pro-
cannabis referendum. This referendum, if approved, would legalize the use, sales, and possession of cannabis
for medical and recreational consumption in Italy.
This initiative is Italy's likely chance of turning its archaic criminal laws around. According to Sondaggi
Bidimedia, an online pollster, at least 57% of residents are expected to back the initiative.
General Overview Of Cannabis Reforms In Italy
Medical Cannabis was legalized in 2013 for critical medical conditions. Since then, the country has grown very
large amounts of marijuana in pharmaceutical facilities. Interestingly, the government has not modified or
added more reforms to the 2013 medical cannabis legislation.
The existing laws mandate that patients try all available conventional medicines before registering under the
medical cannabis program. The conditions that can be managed with cannabis treatments include chronic
pain, glaucoma, spinal cord injuries, chemotherapy-induced symptoms (nausea and vomit), multiple sclerosis,
and anorexia.
Many eligible patients have gotten relief from the prescribed treatments; however, some could not afford the
drugs due to their high cost and limited availability. To solve this problem, the government tasked the army
with setting up cannabis farms in Florence to supply at least 100kg of cannabis annually. The government also
gave operators in the private sector authority to provide more supply. The Bio Hemp Farming company is the
first private company to receive a license to produce medical marijuana to ramp up supply.
Currently, there are multiple products available to medical patients in Italy, all produced at specialized and
licensed cannabis farms. The government has successfully made medical cannabis widely available to residents
at cost-effective prices.
A Referendum for More Cannabis Reforms
3. 12/16/21, 5:54 AM Vota La Cannabis! - Italy Gets Ready to Vote on Cannabis Reform and Possible Legalization
https://cannabis.net/blog/news/vota-la-cannabis-italy-gets-ready-to-vote-on-cannabis-reform-and-possible-legalization 4/11
Organized by pro-cannabis parties and organizations, the details of this referendum cut across the various
regions in Italy before mid-2022. If it seeks to legalize the personal cultivation of cannabis by registered
participants, it would also end fines attached to personal use of recreational cannabis.
As of the time of writing, the document has been appended by over 600,000 registered voters in the country.
Meaning that it has met the minimum required signatures needed to pass a Nationwide referendum (at least
500,000 digital signatures are required within duration to move an initiative to the ballots).
This process is similar to the voter's initiatives/measures for approving cannabis legislation during the United
States election. At least 18 states have implemented their cannabis reforms through this medium.
Unlike previous attempts launched to campaign for better and progressive laws, this ballot initiative could
push Italy over the cusp of cannabis decriminalization. The pro-cannabis alliance is also directly working on a
measure that would modify the country's fining parameters for non-violent and other minor cannabis-related
offenses.
Referendum Cannabis Legale
The success of this initiative can be attributed to the digitalization of the ballot process a few weeks before the
campaign went into full gear. In the past, both sides were required to sign petitions in person; however, the
adoption of a digitized system for this initiative showed more people got involved and provided their
signatures.
The measure will not necessarily legalize marijuana per se, and it will modify some sections in the law that
strictly punishes offenders. At least six million Italians have the habit of smoking recreational cannabis despite
it being legal, and about 49% of the adult population support the use of soft drugs. With the Referendum
Cannabis Legale, these people will have an easier time engaging in their habits without the massive fear of
facing harsh sentences if caught.
Some of the major modifications proposed by the initiative are:
Reduction of severe punishments for minor offenses relating to the production and use of cannabis.
Authorization to grow up to four cannabis plants for personal use.
Equipment of drug addicts with socially acceptable jobs, canceling out the usual prison sentences.
Increase in punishments for offenses that go against established medical and research authorities.
A Domino Effect On The Economy
Italy's cannabis reforms could ignite the fire beneath Europe's weed market.
(https://cannabis.net/blog/news/buon-giorno-la-marijuana-italy-gets-ready-to-legalize-cannabis) Looking at the
blueprints provided by the US on the Canadian cannabis reforms, Italy is in for multiple economic upgrades if
they legalize cannabis.
According to Piero David, a researcher at the National Research Council, Italy's illegal recreational market is
worth about 8 billion euros, which means that criminal gangs dominate the scene and generate huge sums
annually. With proper reforms, the government can reduce local and foreign criminal gangs in the industry.

https://cannabis.net/blog/news/vota-la-cannabis-italy-gets-ready-to-vote-on-cannabis-reform-and-possible-legalization 5/11
With this, the legal recreational industry could be worth about 14 billion euros in the first of operations. The
government would also save more with lesser trials and prison sentences.
Italy would also be in the position to take a huge stake in Europe's cannabis stock market. For instance, Canada
gained a stock market edge in the global cannabis market in 2018 when it legalized adult-use weed. If Italy
becomes the first European nation to legalize the private use of recreational cannabis openly, it would have an
advantage over the other European cannabis markets.
The referendum would create more jobs and open up the production niche for growers around the country.
The new industry will create at least 30,000 new jobs, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the
subsequent years after legalization.
Bottom Line
Things are looking up for Italy's economy and its residents. Cannabis users and growers will finally be free
enough to breathe in and relax while they go about their business cultivating weed and using it. As mentioned
earlier, this referendum will not fully legalize recreational use. Instead, it would minimize the offenses and pave
a path to stop the decriminalization of the drug. Within the next decade, prepare to see legal cannabis coffee
shops and restaurants lining the streets of Italy. Citizens only have to come out en masse to vote the
referendum into law.
