| fsi training courses 2022: Is-26 Guide to Points of Distribution Fema, 2010-08-11 Points of Distribution . Points of Distribution are centralized locations where the public picks up life sustaining commodities following a disaster or emergency . Commodities usually include shelf stable food and water What are Points of Distribution or PODs? During a disaster, one method of issuing supplies may not be enough. A Local Emergency Management Agency (LEMA) could use other distribution systems or use all of them at once. All three complement each other and provide expanded distribution coverage. For this Guide, we will focus on Points of Distribution or PODs. PODs can accommodate vehicle traffic (drive-thru), pedestrian traffic (walk thru), and mass transit traffic (bus or rail). Each person or vehicle receives a set amount of supplies. The recommended amount is for each person/vehicle to receive enough for a household of three. The amount of supplies provided will differ depending on the type of transportation used. For instance, more supplies are provided to someone in a car than to a pedestrian who must hand carry items. |

| fsi training courses 2022: Performed Culture in Action to Teach Chinese as a Foreign Language Jianfen Wang, Junqing (Jessie) Jia, 2022-09-02 This volume explores best practices in implementing the Performed Culture Approach (PCA) in teaching Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). Offering a range of chapters that demonstrate how PCA has been successfully applied to curriculum, instructional design, and assessment in CFL programs and classrooms at various levels, this text shows how PCA’s culture-focused paradigm differs fundamentally from the general communicative language teaching (CLT) framework and highlights how it can inspire innovative methods to better support learners’ ability to navigate target culture and overcome communication barriers. Additional applications of PCA in the development of learner identity, intercultural competence, autonomy, and motivation are also considered. Bridging theoretical innovations and the practice of curriculum design and implementation, this work will be of value to researchers, teacher trainers, and graduate students interested in Chinese teaching and learning, especially those with an interest in incorporating performance into foreign language curriculums with the goal of integrating language and culture. |

Combining methodological rigor with theoretical insights across diverse areas of language study, Russian as a Heritage Language advances the field of HL pedagogy and serves as essential reading for HL educators and researchers as well as for linguists studying bilingualism. |
| fsi training courses 2022: People’s Republic of China International Monetary Fund. Asia and Pacific Dept, 2024-08-02 After four decades of high growth and remarkable socioeconomic achievements, China’s growth has decelerated in recent years, reflecting the pandemic, a large but needed property market correction, and structural headwinds such as weakening productivity and labor force growth. The transition to lower growth is consistent with the authorities’ goal to pursue high-quality growth and reduce the imbalances and vulnerabilities that have emerged, most notably with the significant build-up of debt. The authorities have taken incremental policy steps to achieve these objectives, but a comprehensive and balanced policy approach is needed to manage the challenges facing the economy. |

| fsi training courses 2022: State of Repression Lisa Blaydes, 2020-10-06 A new account of modern Iraqi politics that overturns the conventional wisdom about its sectarian divisions How did Iraq become one of the most repressive dictatorships of the late twentieth century? The conventional wisdom about Iraq's modern political history is that the country was doomed by its diverse social fabric. But in State of Repression, Lisa Blaydes challenges this belief by showing that the country's breakdown was far from inevitable. At the same time, she offers a new way of understanding the behavior of other authoritarian regimes and their populations. Drawing on archival material captured from the headquarters of Saddam Hussein's ruling Ba'th Party in the wake of the 2003 US invasion, Blaydes illuminates the complexities of political life in Iraq, including why certain Iraqis chose to collaborate with the regime while others worked to undermine it. She demonstrates that, despite the Ba'thist regime's pretensions to political hegemony, its frequent reliance on collective punishment of various groups reinforced and cemented identity divisions. At the same time, a series of costly external shocks to the economy—resulting from fluctuations in oil prices and Iraq's war with Iran—weakened the capacity of the regime to monitor, co-opt, coerce, and control factions of Iraqi society. In addition to calling into question the common story of modern Iraqi politics, State of Repression offers a new explanation of why and how dictators repress their people in ways that can inadvertently strengthen regime opponents. |

| fsi training courses 2022: People’s Republic of China International Monetary, International Monetary Fund. Asia and Pacific Dept, 2023-02-03 Following an impressive recovery from the initial impact of the pandemic, China’s growth has slowed significantly in 2022. It remains under pressure as more transmissible variants have led to recurring outbreaks that have dampened mobility, the real estate crisis remains unresolved, and global demand has slowed. Macroeconomic policies have been eased appropriately, but their effectiveness has been diminished by a focus on enterprises and increasingly less effective traditional infrastructure investment rather than support to households. The pandemic and its impacts have also been a setback to economic rebalancing toward private consumption and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A slowdown in growth-enhancing reforms against the backdrop of increasing geoeconomic fragmentation pressures stand in the way of a much-needed lift to productivity growth, weighing on China’s medium-term growth potential. |

| fsi training courses 2022: Global Terrorism Steven J. Childs, 2023-09-21 This book examines the evolution of global terrorism, including the people and groups who have perpetuated the worst attacks and the people and agencies working to stop them. Although it was 9/11 that first awakened many Americans to the very real threat of global terrorism, global terrorism has been a reality for millions of people around the world for many years, with both foreign and home-grown terrorists striking fear in their hearts. Whether driven by fanatical religious beliefs or radical political ideologies, the threat of global terrorism has been and will continue to be a serious issue, warranting vigilance from governments around the world. This one-stop resource highlights key points about global terrorism. Furthermore, it discusses the social, economic, religious, and cultural issues that are connected to terrorist activities. It also examines the history of global terrorism more broadly in order to contextualize current events, using tables, primary documents, personal essays, and other illuminating resources. |
| fsi training courses 2022: American Linguistics in Transition Frederick J. Newmeyer, 2022-06-16 This volume is devoted to a major chapter in the history of linguistics in the United States, the period from the 1930s to the 1980s, and focuses primarily on the transition from (post-Bloomfieldian) structural linguistics to early generative grammar. The first three chapters in the book discuss the rise of structuralism in the 1930s; the interplay between American and European structuralism; and the publication of Joos's Readings in Linguistics in 1957. Later chapters explore the beginnings of generative grammar and the reaction to it from structural linguists; how generativists made their ideas more widely known; the response to generativism in Europe; and the resistance to the new theory by leading structuralists, which continued into the 1980s. The final chapter demonstrates that contrary to what has often been claimed, generative grammarians were not in fact organizationally dominant in the field in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. |

| fsi training courses 2022: Eye on the World Quainton Anthony C. E. Quainton, 2022-07 Eye on the World is the autobiography of diplomat Anthony C. E. Quainton, the story of a long and varied life lived in eleven countries on six continents. Rather than a formal history, this is Quainton's reflection on his interactions with the events of those times, beginning with George VI's historic visit to North America in 1939, through the years of the Cold War, the efforts to contain and then defeat the Soviet Union, and finally the two decades of uneasy peace that came after the fall of the Berlin Wall. To some of these events Quainton was merely a spectator. In other areas--India, Nicaragua, Kuwait, and Peru--he was actively involved either as a participant in the policy process in Washington or as the senior representative of the United States in those countries. Spanning his upbringing and education through two decades after his retirement, Quainton describes the expanding horizons of a middle-class boy from the northwest corner of North America as he encountered the complexity of the world in which he spent his professional life. Quainton served in seven different presidential appointments under presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. These included four ambassadorships in distinct parts of the world and three assistant secretary-level posts in Washington. This range of geographic and functional assignments was unique in his generation of Foreign Service officers. |

| fsi training courses 2022: L2 Writing Assessment Anthony Green, 2022-12-07 This book tackles three choices that face developers of L2 writing assessments: defining L2 writing abilities; collecting evidence of those abilities (usually by getting L2 writers to write something); and judging their performance (usually by assigning a score or grade to it). It takes a historical view of how assessment developers have made those choices, how contemporary practices emerged, and of alternative techniques that have risen and fallen over time. The three sections each tackle one of these choices. The first considers the social functions that define L2 writing and assessment; the second relates how assessment tasks have adapted to changing conceptions of languages, writing, and assessment; and the third explores how scoring systems have evolved. Each section brings the reader up to date with current issues confronting writing assessment (both in large-scale testing and in language classrooms) before considering the new opportunities and challenges of the digital age. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in language assessment, language education, and applied linguistics. |

| fsi training courses 2022: ETHICS: Endorse Technologies for Heritage Innovation Alessandra Battisti, Serena Baiani, 2024-01-04 This book outlines, within the Italian national framework, the current and potential paths oriented towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Innovation and Experimentation and Protection and Transformation of the Architectural Heritage. The development of the themes is articulated in two sessions dealing with the aspects related to the analysis and mapping of Architectural Heritage to face the context of the current Climate Crisis and the development of projects and experimentations oriented to the Green and Digital Transition. The evolution of the concept of Heritage, as conceived by the United Nations 2030 Agenda and in the Green Deal and New European Bauhaus, aimed at constructing an inclusive and universally recognised definition to support supranational objectives of sustainable human development, gives rise to innovative strategies, methodologies and technologies that—in a direction of mitigation, contrast and adaptation to climate change—allow for the safeguard, renewed management and a hope for valorisation of Heritage on a national scale. In this direction, the understanding of Architectural Heritage as a 'non-renewable resource' determines the need to activate design experimentation laboratories oriented towards regeneration, articulated and complex, which require, in order to respond to the challenges posed by our era, a sensitive and dialogic multidisciplinary vision of a holistic type. In fact, on the one hand, it is necessary to redefine the usability and management methods of built heritage through the adoption of digital, mobility, energy, ecological, social, green and blue infrastructures; on the other hand, it is necessary to introduce new qualitative and quantitative parameters and performance indicators, adequate to verify the validity of the implemented strategies in a perspective of adaptation to climate change, able to clarify contents, processes and tools to contrast future risks. The pursuit of these objectives refers to the innovation of training paths, professionalising procedures, administrative regulations, and public policies that involve citizens and the private partnership towards a different project qualification and empowerment of stakeholders, inhabitants, professionals, and clients. The Technological Project makes it possible to activate different interventions aimed at acting, in an integrated manner, on assets, context and communities, according to an approach that reinterprets them on a common score, as proposed by the European Next Generation programme in three priority aspects: digitalisation and innovation, environmental transition, increased resilience and social sustainability of national economies. In this scenario, the interventions aimed at outlining sustainable development actions will have to place these concepts at the centre in a harmonious vision that starts from the recognition and enhancement of the Architectural Heritage, recognising it as a fundamental asset of the territories. |

| fsi training courses 2022: The Geoeconomics of Money in the Digital Age Nicola Bilotta, 2024-11-06 In a more contentious world economy, where trade and finance are increasingly interlinked with economic security and geopolitical considerations, questions arise about the underpinnings of the US dollar's global leadership. For decades, the US dollar has reigned supreme, serving as a powerful tool of US foreign policy. However, history shows that currency dominance can shift with global power dynamics. Will China or another power rise to challenge the US-led system? Will the international monetary system experience a process of fragmentation, or will a new global order emerge? Will financial technology ease such a change? This book delves into the intricate web of how three forces – economic dislocation, evolving geopolitical relations and technology – could potentially foster transformations in the international monetary system. Adopting a multidisciplinary lens, it analyses the strategic elements that might compel major international powers to instigate change or solidify the current equilibrium. While there are no definitive answers on the future, the book provides readers with the key tools to understand the major factors influencing possible changes in the international finance system. |
| fsi training courses 2022: Deep Learning for Marine Science, volume II Haiyong Zheng, Jie Nie, Xiangrong Zhang, Huiyu Zhou , An-An Liu, 2024-11-07 This Research Topic is the second volume of this collection. You can find the original collection via https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/45485/deep-learning-for-marine-science Deep learning (DL) is a critical research branch in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning, encompassing various technologies such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), Transformer networks and Diffusion models, as well as self-supervised learning (SSL) and reinforcement learning (RL). These technologies have been successfully applied to scientific research and numerous aspects of daily life. With the continuous advancements in oceanographic observation equipment and technology, there has been an explosive growth of ocean data, propelling marine science into the era of big data. As effective tools for processing and analyzing large-scale ocean data, DL techniques have great potential and broad application prospects in marine science. Applying DL to intelligent analysis and exploration of research data in marine science can provide crucial support for various domains, including meteorology and climate, environment and ecology, biology, energy, as well as physical and chemical interactions. Despite the significant progress in DL, its application to the aforementioned marine science domains is still in its early stages, necessitating the full utilization and continuous exploration of representative applications and best practices. |

| fsi training courses 2022: The Costs of Conversation Oriana Skylar Mastro Consulting LLC, 2019-03-15 After a war breaks out, what factors influence the warring parties' decisions about whether to talk to their enemy, and when may their position on wartime diplomacy change? How do we get from only fighting to also talking? In The Costs of Conversation, Oriana Skylar Mastro argues that states are primarily concerned with the strategic costs of conversation, and these costs need to be low before combatants are willing to engage in direct talks with their enemy. Specifically, Mastro writes, leaders look to two factors when determining the probable strategic costs of demonstrating a willingness to talk: the likelihood the enemy will interpret openness to diplomacy as a sign of weakness, and how the enemy may change its strategy in response to such an interpretation. Only if a state thinks it has demonstrated adequate strength and resiliency to avoid the inference of weakness, and believes that its enemy has limited capacity to escalate or intensify the war, will it be open to talking with the enemy. Through four primary case studies—North Vietnamese diplomatic decisions during the Vietnam War, those of China in the Korean War and Sino-Indian War, and Indian diplomatic decision making in the latter conflict—The Costs of Conversation demonstrates that the costly conversations thesis best explains the timing and nature of countries' approach to wartime talks, and therefore when peace talks begin. As a result, Mastro's findings have significant theoretical and practical implications for war duration and termination, as well as for military strategy, diplomacy, and mediation. |
| fsi training courses 2022: I GOT HUMOR Ronald E. Magsakay, 2022-09-10 This is the story of Ron-Ron, who kept deep-seated angst and depression (borne out of a personal tragedy) hidden from public view by putting up a comic front for over 30 years, until one day, it became too much for him already. Ron suffered severe anxiety that started on Nov.14 2020, his 51st birthday, when a car trouble occurred on a highway with his daughter. He later was diagnosed to be suffering from PTSD. Otherwise, he's a funny, entertaining person just like his daddy Mon. But his daddy was also a successful businessman whom Ron tried to emulate. In 1986, Ron-Ron's family was on their way to Baguio when the tragic accident happened, losing all members of the family (dad Mon, mom Myr, siblings Dig-Dig and Chug-Chug). He was only 16. That started Ron's journey to successfully divert everyone's attention, including himself, by using humor to escape an unescapable pain. Even before Covid-19 brought devastation to some people, not only because they lost a loved one (or two), and were deprived of proper mourning, many individuals have had to combat mental and emotional distress and hardly had anyone to go to to cope with the situation. This book is for you: - if you recently lost a loved one and having a difficult time coping - when you wish to take a light-hearted way in confronting difficult challenges, calamities, and even fears that life brings - when you need a spiritual reflection to find meaning in challenging life happenings - or, you just need to read a book that's serious, funny, and heart-warming at the same time. |
| fsi training courses 2022: When Peacekeeping Missions Collide Paul F. Diehl, Daniel Druckman, Grace B. Mueller, 2023-10-13 Most analyses of peacekeeping focus on attempts to limit violent conflict. Yet contemporary peace operations are asked to do much more, including unconventional roles of monitoring elections, facilitating transitions to the rule of law, distributing humanitarian aid, and resolving conflicts in civil societies undergoing transformation. This path-breaking work takes the lid off peace operations to explore missions (e.g., Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration) that go beyond traditional peacekeeping and the ways mission outcomes influence one another. This work begins by documenting patterns of peacekeeping missions in 70 UN operations, noting the dramatic increase in number and diversity since the end of the Cold War and the shift to conflicts with a substantial internal conflict component. The core of the book examines eight expectations about how different missions interact with one another. The expectations are guided by theoretical logics associated with sequencing, compatibility, and multitasking. These are examined in five detailed case studies of UN operations: United Nations Protection Force or UNPROFOR (Bosnia); United Nations Operation in the Congo or ONUC (Congo); United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor or UNTAET (East Timor); United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or MONUC (Congo); and the United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone or UNAMSIL (Sierra Leone). The final chapter reviews the findings in terms of their implications for the expectations. It also provides a policy-relevant framework for organizing the various parts and stages of a peace operation, offering a future research agenda on multiple mission peacekeeping-- |
