Lesson: Integration and Settlement of Refugees in Europe

Introduction:
Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their homes due to war, persecution, or natural disasters. In Europe, many refugees are resettled in different cities and towns. This lesson will explore the challenges and opportunities that resettlement presents for refugees and the actors working at all levels to support long-term integration and settlement.

Section 1: Challenges and Opportunities of Resettlement
Topic 1: Challenges
- Language barriers
- Cultural differences
- Limited social networks
- Lack of familiarity with the host country's laws and customs
- Limited access to education and employment opportunities

Topic 2: Opportunities
- Access to education and training programs
- Support from resettlement agencies and local communities
- Opportunities to learn about the host country's culture and language
- Potential for economic integration and contribution to the host society

Section 2: Collaboration and Innovation in Support of Long-Term Integration and Settlement
Topic 1: Volunteering
- Volunteers play a crucial role in welcoming and supporting refugees in their new communities.
- They can help with language learning, job search, and cultural orientation.

Topic 2: Mobilizing Support for Resettlement Amongst Local Authorities and Citizens
- Local authorities and citizens can play a significant role in promoting resettlement and integration.
- They can advocate for policies that support refugees, such as affordable housing, healthcare, and education.
- They can also organize events and activities that bring refugees and local communities together.

Topic 3: The Role of Local Actors in Supporting Integration
- Schools and universities can provide education and training programs for refugees.
- Local businesses can offer employment opportunities and mentorship programs.
- Healthcare providers can offer medical services and mental health support.

Section 3: Reflections on the Importance of Adequate Preparation and Support for Long-Term Integration
Abdulkareem Abdulkareem, an Iraqi engineer resettled to Munich with his family in 2009, shares his thoughts and reflections on the importance of adequate preparation and support for the long-term integration of resettled refugees in Europe.

- Proper preparation and support are essential for refugees to adapt to their new environment and culture.
- Adequate support can help refugees overcome language and cultural barriers, find employment, and build social networks.
- Without proper support, refugees may struggle to integrate and may face social and economic challenges.

Glossary:
- Resettlement: The process of moving refugees from a camp or other temporary shelter to a permanent location.
- Integration: The process by which refugees become part of their new society, including learning the language, culture, and laws of their host country.
- Settlement: The act of establishing oneself in a new place or environment.

Conclusion:
This lesson has explored the challenges and opportunities of resettlement, collaboration and innovation in supporting long-term integration and settlement, and the importance of adequate preparation and support for the long-term integration of resettled refugees in Europe. By understanding these concepts, we can better support refugees in our communities and promote a more inclusive and welcoming society.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will skip the leaders' meetings at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing instead to attend Remembrance Day events in Ottawa. In the wake of the killing of two Canadian Armed Forces members on home soil, it's undoubtedly the right decision.

But don't weep for APEC, whose 20-odd years of existence hasn't exactly altered the course of history. What of the vaunted Bogor Goals, you might ask? OK, you've never heard of them. QED.

This isn't to say that the Asia-Pacific region is not important. It is. But it's safe to say that Canada won't lose out by skipping this particular summit, at this particular time, for this particular reason.

But it prompts the question: how useful are summits?

Summits certainly have the veneer of importance. They are held in sumptuous settings, feature elaborate cultural components, and have hundreds of reporters from around the world covering them. Besides, why would so many leaders gather if they didn't have something useful to talk about?

The truth is, most summits decide very little, with the major issues having been resolved ahead of time by people with unusual titles like "sherpa." Of course, the threat of leaders meeting is often what drives the bureaucracy to agreement, but summits like the Commonwealth, APEC and La Francophonie could disappear tomorrow and the world would be no worse off.

So, why keep having summits? It's partially inertia. Like any piece of bureaucratic machinery, summits, once established, become self-justifying; we met last year, so we should meet again this year. Getting rid of them would be more trouble than it's worth.

Keep it tight

A general rule of thumb for any meeting is the more attendees there are, the less useful the meeting will be. And so it is with summits.

The G8 features seven like-minded countries — plus Russia — discussing important issues that affect each nation equally. Every country has some skin in the game over what's being discussed, which is typically global security or the global economy. It is also the one summit meeting where it is just the leaders and a staff member or minister with them in the room. The format engenders frank, and useful, discussion.

Contrast this to a Commonwealth, or La Francophonie, where countries that are anything but like-minded discuss issues that are of limited global importance. What does preserving the French language or the British monarchy matter to global powerhouses and decision-makers like China or the United States?

The moment I began to question the value of summits was when Argentinian President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner delivered a 20-minute diatribe on anarcho-capitalism during the Cannes G20 in November 2011. Greece was in meltdown, the Eurozone was on the precipice, and de Kirchner used her intervention to instead brag about the lack of foreign investment in her country. Thankfully markets weren't a fly on the wall or trillions more dollars would have been wiped out in an instant.

And that was one of the more productive summits.

No meeting for meeting's sake

So, what can be done to make summits more relevant? Here's one obvious answer: talk about issues that matter.

Part of the reason for APEC's slide to irrelevance is that the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which is centred on trade and the economy, both issues of enormous importance, has usurped it. Had APEC picked up the trade baton in a meaningful way, it might still be a contender. And while it's true that China sits outside the TPP, most countries have a strong bilateral engagement with China outside of summitry.

Of course, there won't always be important issues to discuss. In that sense, summits are hostages to events. The best summits are always when the right countries are around the right table, at the right time, to discuss pressing issues. If there isn't a reason to meet then who's to say a summit group can't meet at the leader level only when required, and not every year?

Limiting leader attendance in this way would prevent summit fatigue while bureaucrats or ministers work to keep files ticking over. If an issue requiring global leadership were to emerge, leaders will make the time to meet, as they did via the G20 in 2008 and 2009 as the wheels came off the global economy.

Speaking of the G20, it is the one summit that needs to reassert its importance, a point the prime minister will surely be making at this year's meeting in Australia. It must, as the global economy is once again in danger of recession as the Eurozone wobbles, China stumbles, and the once-darling BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are hit with economic brickbats.

Without the coordinated response of the G20 in 2008 and 2009, the global economy would have fared much worse. Unfortunately, as the crisis de-escalated the G20 lost its economic focus, adding peripheral development and environmental components to its agenda. It's time for the G20 to rediscover its focus and raison d'être.

Last year's G20 in St. Petersburg barely mentioned the economy, thanks to Syria.

This year's meeting in Australia should be different, as long as no one gives the floor to Argentina.

about?

The answer is that summits can be useful, but they also have their limitations. On one hand, summits provide an opportunity for leaders to meet face-to-face and discuss issues of mutual concern. This can help to build relationships and trust between countries, which can be essential for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation.

On the other hand, summits can also be a waste of time and money. They can be expensive to organize, and the outcomes can be difficult to measure. Moreover, the agendas can be set by the host country, which may have its own interests in mind.

To get the most out of summits, leaders need to prepare well in advance, set clear objectives, and follow up on the commitments made. They should also be prepared to engage in tough discussions and make concessions when necessary.

In summary, summits can be useful, but they also have their limitations. To get the most out of them, leaders need to be strategic, prepared, and willing to engage in tough discussions. By doing so, they can promote cooperation and build stronger relationships between countries.

Sirens and lights blazing, an ambulance raced into the underground parking lot of Rambam Medical Center where doctors, nurses and other staffers had already converted a portion of the 2,000-bed below grade fortified hospital for incoming wounded. The live simulation was held last week as part of Rambam 2015 Heath Care Summit that brought supporters from around the world and leading doctors and researchers to the facility to discuss innovations in healthcare.

The Sammy Ofer Fortified Underground Emergency Hospital, which is converted from the hospital’s parking garage into a 2,000-bed, full-service medical clinic in just 72 hours, is the largest of only three such structures in the world. The underground hospital is segmented for different wards of the hospital, including neurology, surgery, and OBGYN. Furthermore, the garage can also become a sealed bomb shelter against biological and chemical attacks for up to three days.

“This is the most sophisticated underground facility in the world and we take great pride in our responsibility to serve the 2 million people living in Northern Israel, as well as regional IDF troops should a crisis arrive,” said Rambam Medical Center Director General Prof. Rafael Beyar. “We are abreast of the increased threat from Israel’s enemies in the north and unfortunately need to stay fully prepared so that we do everything possible to keep patients of the hospital completely safe.”

A senior Home Front Command source recently stated that in just one northern town, situated near Rambam Hospital’s Haifa base, hundreds of rockets could strike, dozens would hit per day and hundreds of civilians may have to be evacuated. The army source went on to suggest that Hezbollah could fire as many as 1,500 rockets from Lebanon into Israel and that they are working tirelessly to prepare for such a scenario.

The live simulation was part of the annual Rambam Summit, this year themed “From Vision to Reality,” taking place June 7-9 at the hospital’s campus in Haifa and will see leading dignitaries, scientists and philanthropists from around the world attend and learn about Rambam’s vision and the hospital’s continuous advances in modern medicine. Former Israeli President Shimon Peres and Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks will receive the 2015 Rambam Award on the morning of June 9 for their lifelong contributions to Israel and the Jewish people. The summit is also celebrating the opening of the Joseph Fishman Oncology Center, Israel’s most modern cancer center, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the gala event on the evening of June 9.

Lesson: Hardening and Tempering Line

**Introduction:**

In this lesson, we will learn about the process of hardening and tempering steel strips. We will explore the steps involved in this process and the equipment used in the process. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of hardening and tempering steel strips and how it is done in the industry.

**Section 1: What is Hardening and Tempering?**

Hardening and tempering are two processes used to improve the strength and durability of steel strips. These processes involve heating the steel to a high temperature and then cooling it down slowly or quickly. The resulting steel has a higher hardness and strength, making it more resistant to wear and tear.

**Section 2: How is Hardening and Tempering Done?**

The process of hardening and tempering involves several steps. First, the steel strip is heated to a high temperature, usually between 800°C and 1000°C. This step is called austenitizing. After the steel has reached the desired temperature, it is quickly cooled down, either by air or gas, to form a thin layer of martensite on the surface. This step is called quenching. Finally, the steel is reheated to a lower temperature and held there for a period of time to allow the martensite to transform into cementite, which is a harder and stronger form of steel. This step is called tempering.

**Section 3: Equipment Used in Hardening and Tempering**

There are several pieces of equipment used in the hardening and tempering process. These include:

- Austenitizing furnace: This furnace is used to heat the steel strip to a high temperature.
- HICON/H2Q hydrogen quenching system: This system is used to quickly cool the steel down after austenitizing.
- FlexFlat martensite cooler with SmartFlat automatic flatness supervision system: This cooler is used to cool the steel down slowly after quenching.
- Leveling furnace: This furnace is used to reheat the steel for tempering.
- Atmosphere jet cooler: This cooler is used to cool the steel down after tempering.

**Section 4: Importance of Hardening and Tempering**

Hardening and tempering are important processes in the manufacturing of steel strips because they increase the strength and durability of the steel. This makes it more resistant to wear and tear, which is especially important in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and construction.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, hardening and tempering are two important processes used to improve the strength and durability of steel strips. These processes involve heating the steel to a high temperature and then cooling it down slowly or quickly. Several pieces of equipment are used in the process, including an austenitizing furnace, a hydrogen quenching system, a martensite cooler, a leveling furnace, and an atmosphere jet cooler. By understanding the importance of hardening and tempering, we can appreciate the role it plays in manufacturing and how it contributes to the strength and durability of steel products.

Title: [No Root] Pokemon Go Hack Capture Pokemon and Visit Pokestops from your Home

## Lesson:
 ## Introduction

Pokemon Go is a popular mobile game that allows players to capture, train, and battle virtual creatures called Pokemon. The game uses GPS technology to track the player's location and place virtual Pokemon in the real world. However, some players may not be able to play the game outside due to various reasons such as bad weather or physical limitations. In this case, a hack can be used to simulate the GPS location and enable players to capture Pokemon and visit Pokestops from their home.

### Section 1: Understanding the Hack

The hack involves using a fake GPS app to spoof the player's location. This means that the app will trick the game into thinking that the player is located at a different place than their actual location. By changing the location, the player can access Pokestops and capture Pokemon that are usually not available in their area.

### Section 2: Installing the Fake GPS App

To install the fake GPS app, follow these steps:

1. Download the fake GPS app from a reliable source. Make sure that you download the latest version of the app.
2. Open the settings menu on your phone.
3. Scroll down and click on "Security."
4. Enable the option that allows installation of apps from unknown sources.
5. Locate the downloaded fake GPS app and install it.

### Section 3: Using the Fake GPS App

Once the fake GPS app is installed, follow these steps to use it:

1. Open the fake GPS app and select the location you want to spoof. You can choose any location in the world, including those with rare Pokemon.
2. Start the Pokemon Go game and wait for it to load.
3. Move around the virtual world to capture Pokemon and visit Pokestops. The fake GPS app will simulate your movement, so you don't need to physically move.
4. Repeat step 3 until you have captured all the Pokemon you want or visited all the Pokestops.

### Section 4: Advantages and Disadvantages of Using the Hack

Advantages:
- Allows players to capture rare Pokemon and visit Pokestops that are usually not available in their area.
- Convenient for players who cannot play the game outside due to bad weather or physical limitations.

Disadvantages:
- Cheating in the game, which may not be considered fair by other players.
- May result in a ban from the game if Niantic, the game developer, detects the use of the hack.

### Section 5: Practical Examples

Let's say you want to capture a rare Pokemon that is only found in a faraway location. By using the fake GPS app, you can spoof your location to that area and capture the rare Pokemon without leaving your home.

Another example is if you live in an area with few Pokestops. By using the fake GPS app, you can spoof your location to an area with many Pokestops and visit them to get more items and resources.

### Glossary

- Fake GPS app: A software application that simulates the GPS location of a device.
- Spoof: To deceive or trick someone or something.
- Pokemon: Virtual creatures in the Pokemon Go game.
- Pokestop: A virtual location in the Pokemon Go game where players can collect items and resources.

### Conclusion

Using a fake GPS app to spoof your location can be a convenient way to play Pokemon Go from your home. However, it is essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of using the hack. Always use the hack responsibly and do not cheat in the game. Remember that the ultimate goal is to have fun and enjoy the game.

Weeping tears of rain like sacrament. Spray painted Eulogy. For the fire side, the glacier melt. Irony in the aerosol. Messages of peace and love. Jostle among the squabbling. Of hate for the sake of hurt. Crude sexual suggestions. All of it enveloped with a color splash. A pervading, overriding sense of fun. Humor twisted like a wry smile. Light of heart, yet weary of soul. Scattering initials of bygone lovers. Like leaves in the autumn wood. The big wall stood a monument. To the King of the Concrete Jungle. Advertisements

Lesson: Graffiti Art

Introduction:
Graffiti art is a form of visual expression that involves creating artwork on public surfaces such as walls, buildings, and trains. It has been around for centuries and has evolved into a popular art form that is recognized worldwide. In this lesson, we will explore the history, techniques, and styles of graffiti art.

Section 1: History of Graffiti Art
Graffiti art can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome where people would write messages or drawings on walls to communicate with others. However, modern graffiti art began in the late 1960s in Philadelphia, USA, where young people started writing their names and tags on walls to gain recognition.

The first known graffiti artist was Cornbread, who created elaborate pieces on the sides of buildings in New York City. His work inspired other artists such as Taki 183, who would write his name all over the city to see how far he could take it. This led to a graffiti war between different crews, each trying to outdo the other with their artistic skills.

In the 1980s, graffiti art began to spread globally, with artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey creating iconic pieces that are still recognized today. Today, graffiti art is a legitimate form of art that is displayed in galleries and museums worldwide.

Section 2: Techniques of Graffiti Art
Graffiti art involves several techniques, including stenciling, freehand, and 3D graffiti. Each technique requires different tools and skills, which we will explore below.

1. Stenciling: This technique involves creating a design on a sheet of paper or cardboard and then spraying it onto a wall. Stencils can be simple or complex, depending on the desired outcome. The most common tool for stenciling is a spray paint can.

2. Freehand: As the name suggests, freehand graffiti art is created without the use of any stencils or guidelines. The artist must rely solely on their skill and creativity to create intricate designs on walls. Freehand graffiti is typically done using spray paint cans.

3. 3D Graffiti: This technique involves creating a three-dimensional illusion on a flat surface. Artists use shading and perspective to create the illusion of depth, making it appear as though the image is popping off the wall.

Section 3: Styles of Graffiti Art
Graffiti art has several styles, each with its unique characteristics and techniques. Some of the most common styles include:

1. Tags: Tags are the most basic form of graffiti art, consisting of a simple written name or symbol. They are usually done quickly and can be found anywhere.

2. Pieces: Pieces are more elaborate than tags and often contain characters, backgrounds, and colors. They can be simple or complex, depending on the artist's skill level.

3. Throws: Throws are large-scale murals that cover entire walls or buildings. They often incorporate multiple colors and intricate designs.

4. Wildstyle: Wildstyle is a graffiti style that originated in New York City in the 1970s. It features interconnected letters that create a continuous flow of lines, making it difficult to read unless you know the specific font used.

Conclusion:
Graffiti art is a fascinating form of visual expression that has evolved over time to become a legitimate art form. By exploring the history, techniques, and styles of graffiti art, we can appreciate the creativity and skill involved in this unique artistic expression.

Glossary:
- Graffiti: Illegal or unapproved artwork or message written or painted on walls, buildings, or other surfaces in public places.

Lesson: Real Estate Properties - Understanding the Basics

Introduction:
Real estate properties are one of the most valuable assets that people invest in. They provide a sense of security and stability, especially when it comes to owning a home. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of real estate properties, including their features, benefits, and how they are valued. We will also discuss the different types of properties available in the market and the factors that influence their prices.

Section 1: Features and Benefits of Real Estate Properties

Topic 1: What are the features of a real estate property?
- A real estate property refers to any land or building that is legally owned by someone. It can be residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural.
- The features of a real estate property depend on its type and location. For example, a residential property may have multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.
- Commercial properties may have additional features such as office spaces, storage areas, and parking lots.

Topic 2: What are the benefits of owning a real estate property?
- Owning a real estate property provides a sense of stability and security. It is a tangible asset that can be passed down to future generations.
- Real estate properties can also generate rental income if they are used for investment purposes.
- Properties can appreciate in value over time, providing a significant return on investment.

Section 2: Types of Real Estate Properties

Topic 1: What are the different types of real estate properties?
- Residential properties refer to homes or apartments that are occupied by individuals or families.
- Commercial properties are used for business purposes, such as offices, retail spaces, and warehouses.
- Industrial properties are used for manufacturing, production, or distribution.
- Agricultural properties are used for farming, ranching, or other agricultural activities.

Topic 2: How are real estate properties classified?
- Real estate properties can be classified based on their location, size, and amenities.
- Location is a critical factor in determining the value of a property. Properties located in prime areas tend to be more expensive than those in less desirable locations.
- Size is another factor that influences the value of a property. Larger properties with more space tend to command higher prices.
- Amenities such as swimming pools, gardens, and gyms can also increase the value of a property.

Section 3: Factors that Influence Real Estate Property Prices

Topic 1: What factors influence the price of a real estate property?
- Location is one of the most significant factors that influence the price of a property. Properties located in prime areas tend to be more expensive than those in less desirable locations.
- Demand and supply play a crucial role in determining the price of a property. When demand exceeds supply, prices tend to rise.
- The condition of the property and its amenities can also impact its price. Well-maintained properties with modern amenities tend to command higher prices than those that are run-down or lack facilities.

Topic 2: How do interest rates and inflation affect real estate property prices?
- Interest rates and inflation can have a significant impact on property prices. Higher interest rates can make it more challenging to obtain financing, which may reduce demand for properties.
- Inflation can also impact property prices, as it erodes the purchasing power of buyers. As inflation increases, the value of money decreases, making it more expensive to purchase properties.

Conclusion:
In summary, real estate properties are valuable assets that provide stability and security. They come in different types and can be classified based on their location, size, and amenities. The price of a property is influenced by factors such as location, demand and supply, and the condition of the property. Understanding these basics can help you make informed decisions when buying or selling a real estate property.
