HOW TO IMPROVE TO MOTHER TONGUE LEARNING Begin literacy teaching in mother tongueA curriculum, rooted in the child’s known language, cultureand environment, with appropriate and locally-developedreading and curriculum materials, is crucial for earlylearning success. Using the home language in the early stagesof schooling in multilingual contexts supports child-centricpolicies. It starts with what is familiar and builds in newknowledge. It creates a smooth transition between home andschool; it stimulates interest and ensures greaterparticipation and engagement. This prepares children for theacquisition of literacy and encourages fluency andconfidence in both the mother tongue and, later, in otherlanguages, where this is necessary. Ensure availability of mother-tongue materialsChildren need to be engaged in and excited about readingand learning and this can only be done if the materials areones which they will understand and enjoy. In mostdeveloping countries, the only reading material children seeare school textbooks, which are often in very short supply.Other materials to support learning are hardly everavailable. Without access to good materials, children struggleto become literate and learn. In most low- and middle-income countries, the majority of primary schools have nolibrary, and books are luxuries which families cannot afford.For children from minority language communities, thesituation is even more dismal. Textbooks are rarely availablein local languages. Provide early childhood education in mother tongueLiteracy development starts early in life, and the homeenvironment is an important factor in children’s learningachievement. It helps build the knowledge and skills childrenneed for learning to read. Where parents and the communityare supporting literacy development, results show a markedimprovement. The earlier children are exposed to stories thebetter their reading is: reading for only 15 minutes a day canexpose children to one million written words in a year,thereby helping them to develop a rich vocabulary. Childrenwith access to materials at home are more likely to developfluency in reading

it’s more accurate to say that readers notice the absence of structures, and/or when we shift the logics of one structure to another mid-stream, without saying anything.
I often see this in my undergraduate and postgraduate students; they make a conceptual move without signalling it to the reader, which leaves the reader feeling discombobulated.

Most Canadian institutions have built their internationalization programs in a way that minimizes their costs (no new programs or delivery sites) but also maximizes the costs to the students (high tuition plus displacement plus living expenses). But what if there’s a market for a cheaper alternative: same degree, similar product, but no displacement costs?
Postgraduate students who can complete their degrees remotely. We know that our own PG students struggle significantly with the costs associated with moving to South Africa from other African countries.

mark the workers as permanent or transient, so that if they fail they get restarted
restart
defines when a terminated child process must be restarted.- A
permanent
child process is always restarted. - A
temporary
child process is never restarted (even when the supervisor's restart strategy isrest_for_one
orone_for_all
and a sibling's death causes thetemporary
process to be terminated). - A
transient
child process is restarted only if it terminates abnormally, that is, with another exit reason thannormal

Revisiting Self-Supervised Visual Representation Learning
无监督的视觉表示学习在计算机视觉研究中仍然是一个很大程度上未解决的问题。在最近提出的用于无监督学习视觉表示的方法中,一类自我监督技术在许多具有挑战性的基准上实现了卓越的性能。已经研究了大量的自我监督学习的前提任务,但其他重要的方面,如卷积神经网络(CNN)的选择,并没有得到同等的关注。因此,我们重新审视了许多以前提出的自我监督模型,进行彻底的大规模研究,结果发现了多个关键的问题。我们挑战了自我监督的视觉表现学习中的一些常见实践,并观察到CNN设计的标准配方并不总是转化为自我监督的表征学习。作为我们研究的一部分,我们大大提高了先前提出的技术的性能,并且大大优于以前发布的最先进的结果。

this condition was almost as bad as shredding. What does it mean? It means that if you really want to demotivate your employees, shredding is the right way to go. That’s the best way to demotivate people. Not acknowledging their effort is almost as bad. Almost as good, if you want to demotivate. If you think about this, how often do we acknowledge people? How often do we give compliments to people? How often do we even say thank you?
Simple but powerful. Acknowledge, compliment, thank.
