There were also complaints that the organization between sessions was poor with long breaks and a lack of integration between student groups. When asked about expectations for the next visit in Romania, responses included wanting more fun, good food, and interesting sights to see.

1. The document discusses various sources of inspiration for the author, including her parents who taught her skills and supported her dreams, disliking her job but finding inspiration to change careers, and finding inspiration from nature, feedback, and seeing others' passion.
2. The author also finds inspiration from memes, procrastiworking on side projects, and recognizing that people find inspiration from different things and inspiration comes from paying attention to details.
3. Inspiration is subjective and changing, but the overall message is to keep seeking out what inspires you and find ways to turn inspiration into action.
Phone sourcing what it is and what it isn't
Phone sourcing involves calling companies to gather information about their organizational structure and personnel. The caller listens more than talks in order to learn things like who reports to whom, who holds what titles, and department sizes. While some sensitive information is sometimes overheard, the goal is not to deceive but rather to have informative conversations where people enjoy sharing details about their work. Phone sourcing requires strong communication skills including asking questions, focusing on the other person, and making them feel valued in the interaction.

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.

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.

Western Gazette - Work Experience Presentation - Christian Walton
- 1. My Work Experience The Western Gazette http://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news 18th – 29th July
- 2. The Western Gazette • A Somerset based local newspaper • Owned by Local World • Circulation of 19,724 (Dec 2014)
- 3. What I Did There? • Research • Typed up letters • Located photos • Called businesses • Wrote up listicals and several other things • And I occasionally got to do something interesting
- 4. • Archaeological dig was happening nearby • I interviewed the archaeologist • I tried to interview someone else but his personal details seemed to not exist • I also failed at trying to locate pictures of a similar dig at the location in 1950 • Despite the negative parts I did enjoy it. • While it still isn’t my first choice I’d be happy to write historical journalism
- 5. What I learned? • Atmosphere of a real news room • How things work there • I learnt that shorthand is actually useful • I write too fast. I spent half my time asking for more work, or just twiddling my fingers waiting for said work. • How to conduct a good phone interview. In the past I’ve preferred email interviews.
- 6. What I could have done differently • I should have approached more people in the newsroom, I stuck to asking about 4 people. • I should have asked more questions. • I should have been more enterprising. • I would have liked to have been credited, and I feel like the organisation at the place was lacking so their publishing login they gave me didn’t work on the first day, and they never fixed. • I should have been louder, but then I always have that issue – Like in the news conference
- 7. Reflection • I hated being treated like an idiot • I expected to feel a little unqualified but I didn’t. I could do everything put in front of me, and more. • I don’t want to work at a local paper. Neither am I that interested about working in news.
