Understanding the differences between games and sports can be done when we can identify the two terms as two different words. A sport is a physical activity carried out under fixed set of rules, with competition or self-enjoyment or a combination of both. A game is a recreational activity involving one or more players, defined by a goal that the players try to reach, and some set of rules to play it. Most of the people is confused between Sport and game because the word game has several meanings. Actually we can play a game of sports, but we can't sport a game. Olympics they are called the OLYMPIC GAMES and all the competitions are in specific Sports. Cue sports are a wide variety of games of skill generally played with a cue stick which is used to strike billiard balls, moving them around a cloth-covered billiards table surrounded by rubber cushions. Billiards is a sport, and you can play different games within the sport: eight- ball, nine- ball, three ball, one pocket and bank pool. Pocket Billiards has been declared a Sport by the Olympic Committee. Billiards category including pool, snooker and carom was presented in the 2005 World Games, held in Duisburg, Germany, and the 2006 Asian Games as a cue sports category. Thus, definitely billiards should be announced as a sport.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?

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”.
2. The idea of a World Games Class
Fall 2010 - I started teaching the indoor/ outdoor games class.
The class was designed to teach students to design their own
games in each category:
Tag games
Target games
Striking and Fielding games
Net/Wall games
Invasion games
One day I started talking to a student about soccer and he never
heard of Péle before!!
Jesus
Coca-Cola
Péle
3. Research and Adaptation
• The research sought to find games that would be
appealing to the North-American Culture as well as
being able to being played within the resources that
we had available.
• The research focus on having games from different
continents and from different categories of games.
• After finding the games that seemed as a good fit, I
also had to deal with adapting
to the university environment
without taking the essence of
each game.
5. World Games
• Ball Hockey – Canada
• Korfball – Netherlands
• Peteca – Brazil
• Kho Kho – India
• Cricket – England
• Tchouckball – Swiss
• Speedball - USA
• European Handball – European
• Speak Tacraw – Malaysia
• Kinball – Canada
• Gaelic Football - Ireland
6. Class Calendar
The course was divided in four periods:
Learning about the games categories
Learning a new game each week
Students’ presentations
Replay students’ favorite games
7. Presenting each Game
• Example: Korfball
• Where is it from?
• Are there formal competitions?
• Who plays it?
• What category of game does it fit
• Video (when available) – Korfball introduction
• Its original rules
• “Our rules” – Adaptation
• Play
• Brief discussion
8. Students’ presentations
• Students had to present two options:
• Find world games that we have not played in class and that
their classmates would not know about
• Create their own game showing how their perception of
diversity have grown throughout the semester
• The format:
• Presentation similar to how they were taught
• PowerPoint presentation for students who may be more
interested to know more about it.
10. What students learned from this class?
• Gain in appreciation for diversity in sports and
cultures
• How games have an important role everywhere in the world
and they have different forms of playing
Demystify terms such as “World Series”
• Learn games that may be the origin of the games
that they play
• Cricket or Rounders => Baseball
• Rugbi => Football
• If you have no interest in sports maybe is because
you don’t know all of it
• Students said they were more open to try new games after
this class
11. What have I learned from this class?
• I have also been able to have a broader view of
games that are played around the world
• I was pleased to see how students are open to new
contents after a “first round of resistance”
• Students seemed to have had a huge overall
acceptance regardless of their skill level
• They were all beginners in all games they played.
