![]() While flyers are mostly made in an 8.5” x 11” size, brochures are made out of various sizes. You can sit with your designer to help create the best flyers that suit your business requirements and convey the message you want to. It comes with the marketing package you create for yourself. These can be distributed in ways more than one your office boy might be given the duty to go leave the flyers on the doorsteps of every house in a particular area, placed at your reception desk to be picked up by whoever comes across them, sent with the daily newspaper, or posted on a public notice board at a busy alley.ĭelivering your message across through flyers is an easy and cool way. Just like the name represents, flyers are pieces of paper or sheets that are meant to “fly” containing information about your business to the general public. With the current “web-centered” world where advertisements have primarily shifted to web resources, flyers still contain their value, provided they have been made in just the right manner. For you to be able to bring the name of your business to the mouths of the people and tell them what you have in the store to deliver is a highly crucial step for the success of your business. You can save a whole lot of time by using templates instead of building a document from scratch, and print-it-yourself items such as tickets, receipts, posters, and business cards can go a long way to ease a tight non-profit budget.Promotion or advertisement is as vital to your business as the resources it requires. Schedules templates, too, may be intended for small business use, rather than non-profit use, but there’s no reason why they can’t be used for volunteer management, or to schedule staff hours or tasks to prepare for a fundraising event. See the selection of templates for Newsletters, for example – you’ve got a choice of 159 styles, designed variously for Word 2003, Word 2007, Word 2010, Publisher 2003, or Publisher 2007. While you’re browsing around Microsoft’s gallery, have a look at their other categories of templates, too – not just those tagged as being for non-profit use. Some of these templates play well with Google Docs, too, although you’ll probably need to experiment a bit to see if your particular template choice is going to make the transition smoothly. A template designed for Word 2003, for example, will usually also work well with minimal or no tweaking, if you’re using Word 2010. MS Office software tends to be pretty good at backward compatibility, so that opens up your range of template choices. I’ve linked directly to a few of these to give you a jumpstart, but do check out the full list of templates for nonprofits for screenshots and download links for all of these.

![]() These activities have an improvisational quality that contrasts with, say, an actor’s scripted role-playing. ![]() Role-taking begins at an early age, through such activities as playing house and pretending to be different people. Role-taking is a key mechanism through which an individual can appreciate another person’s perspective and better understand the significance of a particular action to that person. This emphasis on symbols, negotiated meaning, and the construction of society as an aspect of symbolic interactionism focuses attention on the roles that people play in society. According to the theory, an individual’s verbal and nonverbal responses are constructed in expectation of how the initial speaker will react. Symbolic interactionism is a social theory that focuses on the analysis of patterns of communication, interpretation, and adjustment between individuals in relation to the meanings of symbols. bonds: Ties and relationships between individuals.ritual: Rite a repeated set of actions. ![]() Chinese Family in Suriname: According to conflict theorists, the family works toward the continuance of social inequality within a society by maintaining and reinforcing the status quo. Even though these women spend as much (or more) time at paid jobs as their husbands, they also do more of the housework and child care. For example, more than 60 percent of all mothers with children under six are in the paid workforce. The traditional family is also an inequitable structure for women and children. Traditional male roles and responsibilities are valued more than the traditional roles done by their wives (i.e., housekeeping, child rearing). Males tend to have more power and females tend to have less. The traditional family form in most cultures is patriarchal, contributing to inequality between the sexes. Because inheritance, education and social capital are transmitted through the family structure, wealthy families are able to keep their privileged social position for their members, while individuals from poor families are denied similar status.Ĭonflict theorists have also seen the family as a social arrangement benefiting men more than women, allowing men to maintain a position of power. When we are analyzing any element of society from this perspective, we need to look at the structures of wealth, power and status, and the ways in which those structures maintain social, economic, political and coercive power of one group at the expense of others.Īccording to conflict theorists, the family works toward the continuance of social inequality within a society by maintaining and reinforcing the status quo. According to the Conflict paradigm, every society is plagued by inequality based on social differences among the dominant group and all of the other groups in society. Conflict theory is particularly interested in the various aspects of master status in social position-the primary identifying characteristic of an individual seen in terms of race or ethnicity, sex or gender, age, religion, ability or disability, and socio-economic status. The Conflict perspective refers to the inequalities that exist in all societies globally. Conflict Perspective: A perspective in the social sciences that emphasizes the social, political or material inequality of a social group critiques the broad socio-political system or otherwise detracts from structural functionalism and ideological conservativism.inheritance: The passing of title to an estate upon death.Functionalists, in general, identify a number of functions families typically perform: reproduction socialization care, protection, and emotional support assignment of status and regulation of sexual behavior through the norm of legitimacy. Functionalism addresses society in terms of the function of its constituent elements: norms, customs, traditions and institutions. This approach looks at society through a macro-level orientation, which is a broad focus on the social structures that shape society as a whole. In this way, society is like an organism and each aspect of society (institutions, social constructs, etc.) is like an organ that works together to keep the whole functioning smoothly. Structural functionalism is a framework that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability. institution: An established organization, especially one dedicated to education, public service, culture, or the care of the destitute, poor etc. ![]() Radcliffe-Brown: A British social anthropologist from the early twentieth century who contributed to the development of the theory of structural-functionalism.family: A group of people related by blood, marriage, law or custom. ![]() ![]() ![]() The trick to escaping the trap is to move slowly and try to float. You'll only sink halfway, no matter how badly you freak out.ĭisturbing quicksand makes it flow like a liquid, but gravity acts against you. However, the average human has a density of about 1 gram per milliliter, while the average quicksand density is about 2 grams per milliliter. The sand around you also settles into place.Ĭontinued movement (like thrashing around from panic) keeps the mixture more like a liquid, so you sink further. If you stop after the first step, the sand particles beneath you get compressed by your weight. Stepping on it initially lowers the viscosity, so you sink. Undisturbed quicksand appears solid, but it's really a gel. What this means it can change its ability to flow (viscosity) in response to stress. Technically speaking, quicksand is a non-Newtonian fluid. If you have to rescue yourself, wriggle your legs to make the quicksand more fluid while trying to sit back into the quicksand to increase your body's surface area. The best way to prevent a fatality is to keep a charged cell phone with you so you can call for help.Death can come in the form of suffocation, dehydration, hypothermia, predators, crush syndrome, or drowning from a river or incoming tide. Even though you can't sink all the way into quicksand, it's a killer.However, a person or branch can be used to help reduce the victim's weight, making it easier to work free and float. A rescuer can't simply pull a victim out of quicksand.Really, the only way to drown from the quicksand is to fall into it head first or face first. You can only sink into quicksand up to your waist.It changes its viscosity in response to stress or vibration, allowing you to sink, but making it hard to escape. Quicksand is a non-Newtonian fluid made of sand mixed with water or air. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, marvellously, Around Canberra they appear in people’s gardens or in neighbourhood reserves. It was also a bird I would always want to see in a zoo. Growing up in suburban Sydney the Satin Bowerbird was something exotic that I saw on a documentary with its blue decorated bower. This time he stayed on a nicely lit branch and gave me an opportunity to take some shots. I have seen the males before but normally only fleetingly, as they disappeared into some undergrowth. Then, he flew off, further up the hill to the north-west.įor me, this ecounter was thrilling because I had finally been able to photograph a male in the wild. He reached out to grab something from the tree but I could not make out if it was an insect or a piece of bark. He started on one branch but kept hopping up to other branches. Although I see the green females and juveniles regularly, I rarely see the male so I was excited to finally have a chance to take some photographs. The dark, glassy plumage meant it was unmistakably a male Satin Bowerbird ( Ptilonorhynchus violaceus). It landed in a tree that was just beside me. I felt myself very fortunate because while I was walking along the fire trail a bird appeared from the south-east, from the area towards the Federal Golf Club, flying up the hill. It was nice to be outside again and there was hardly anybody around, I really was so relaxed and in the moment. I decided to leave the gorgeous bird to carry on with its morning while I carried on with mine.įrom the golf course I turned towards the nature reserve proper, finding a trail up a gentle slope to one of the fire trails. This kookaburra did not seem concerned by my presence, barely paying me any attention. After a little while, one of those remaining two also decided that I was too close so it also flew away leaving a single bird for me to photograph, the second shot below. When I approached two of the birds flew to a nearby tree while two others, in the first photograph, stayed still where they were. Occasionally one bird would fly down to pick some small creature from among the grassy covering. The tree must have been giving them a good watching position to surveil the grass for their morning meal. Walking on, I lost sight of the bird briefly before realising that there were actually four kookaburras sitting in two groups of two on tree branches just beside the course. Not too far on I saw a white object on the ground that I soon realised was a Laughing Kookaburra. With the course free of players I walked along the well manicured grass so as to keep the bordering trees on the left where the golden morning sun was lighting them. Usually, on nice Sunday mornings like this, the first golfers would have already been striking balls along the greens. Walking towards Red Hill Nature Reserve I noticed that the green fairways of the Federal Golf Club were unnaturally empty because of lockdown. I hope that you enjoy the photographs below. So, I felt that walking with my camera would also help relieve the lockdown blues, which it certainly did that lovely morning with Gang-gang cockatoos, a male Satin Bowerbird and some lovely Laughing Kookaburras acting as photographic subjects. I figured that I would go for a walk that Sunday morning with my camera because I sensed that part of the reason for the exercise extension from only one hour a day to two hours was to help the mental health of Canberrans. In fact, the whole of the reserve seemed to be free of people, making it a truly lovely experience. Because of the lockdown the neighbouring Federal Golf Club was closed meaning its greens were empty of people and perfect for some photography. Fortunately, I live a few minutes walk from the wonderful Red Hill Nature Reserve, a lovely escape among the suburban housing. Canberra’s COVID-related lockdown continued but we were now allowed to exercise for two hours a day but just in the local area. ![]() ![]() ![]() who experience CANS degenerative processes related to normal aging.who experience auditory deficits due to neurological or degenerative diagnoses that compromises the central auditory nervous system (CANS) such as traumatic brain injuries, cardio vascular accidents, Alzheimer’s, and multiple sclerosis.with a history of CAPD with intervention as a younger person.The adult clientele we would most likely encounter are those: A common statement from the adult who is diagnosed with CAPD is, “What a relief that I now know why I struggle with complex auditory information!” In my practice, psychologists refer adults for a CAPD evaluation for differential diagnosis, especially when the comprehensive psychological evaluation indicates the presence of weak auditory memory or when attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is suspected. The next question is what can be done to assist the adult and why was an evaluation for CAPD provided? My daughter’s teacher has been blown away by the difference it has made and cannot believe what a difference the system has made to her learning.Often I am asked if I evaluate adults with CAPD. ![]() It has given her confidence in the class to ask questions, as she no longer is scared she may have heard things wrong. This has given her the confidence to sit away from friends who distract her. She has now had the system and has been using it in class for 3 months! And what a difference it has made! She has made huge leaps and bounds in her learning in the past 3 months- more than she probably has in the past 3 years! For the first time ever, she no longer needs to sit next to her friends to copy and ask questions on her school work- because she can hear the instructions clearly and without the distraction of background noise. M went to SoundSkills and we made the choice to purchase the Remote Microphone Hearing Aid system, as once we learnt more about it we decided it was something that would benefit her learning. “My daughter was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder a number of years ago, and when her learning started to stall we decided to investigate further. “I didn’t know people had different voices” he said. He listened to the teacher and teacher aide for a moment then remarked with surprise that they had different voices. One child with APD when first fitted with a remote microphone hearing aid system echoed the comment about lack of tonality in voices. But I am still exhausted from listening at the end of the work day and want to take my hearing aids off as soon as I get home.” With both my hearing aids and RM system I can usually hear 100%. With my hearing aids I hear much better, losing only perhaps 25% of speech. For example, if the refrigerator switches on (a sound barely noticeable to most people) it seems to me to swamp anyone speaking. It’s very difficult to distinguish a voice from any other sound that is present. My directional hearing is poor and voices from behind are particularly difficult to hear. “Without my hearing aids or RM system, speech seems fast, fragmented and confusing. She describes her hearing experience as follows. Adults with APD, particularly if it arose in adulthood so they have prior experience of good hearing, can provide insight into the experience of hearing with APD.ĭr Louise Carroll QSO, JP, GDPPA, MPM, previously Chief Executive Officer of the National Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing has Auditory Processing Disorder and uses hearing aids and a remote microphone (RM) system. ![]() ![]() This is prepared by Syracuse Madrid staff and is separate from the pre-departure orientation you complete through Syracuse Abroad.
