When we come together to make SoulCollage® in community, amazing things happen. There is a magic in this creative journey that only requires you coming along with your curiosity and imagination. No artistic genius recquired whatsoever. Just your presence! Images have things to say to us. They can call us through our hearts, our instinctual knowing, and our open intuitive minds. Images offer us portals and openings into a deep wisdom stream. All you need to do is be open to the images that are asking for your attention. Then you make a collage, then you listen to what it wants you to know. It is simple, and profound. This is an in place event in a creative studio in the delightful village of Hartley Wintney. You might like to linger after we close and take a look at the local crafts and antique shops, or take a stroll around the village green just outside of where we will be for the day. It is really quite unique. Getting there: Esiliy accessible by the M4 and M3. There is free weekend parking close to the venue. The nearest train station is Winchfield.

This qualification aims to provide expert guidance to learners wishing to gain knowledge and understanding on Electric Vehicle charging equipment installation. This 2 day course provides expert guidance on EV charging equipment installation, an important emerging area which is not covered in detail by the current edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) or the IET’s Guidance Notes. Aimed at experienced electricians interested in understanding a wide range of equipment and systems available, this course applies to the specialised installation requirements of electric vehicle charging equipment in domestic dwellings, on-street locations, commercial and industrial premises. The course provides detailed guidance and recommendations on all aspects of the installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment from the origin of the electrical supply, through distribution and final circuits, installation of the charging equipment itself to the cable between the charging equipment and vehicle’s electrical inlet. Also included are related issues of site layout and planning and subsequent inspection, testing, certification and maintenance of installations. Why take this course? Currently there is an increasing demand for new electric vehicle charging points but too few installers to roll them out. This is already a booming market which is due to get much bigger in the near future. The number of public charging connectors and locations has increased by 38% in the past 12 months and is expected to continue at that rate for years to come. Entry Requirements There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification, however we do expect you to meet the following requirements: Minimum age 18 years old (mandatory) Must be able to demonstrate the following competencies Be able to correctly install and terminate: pvc/pvc cable (twin and earth) Steel Wire armoured cable (swa) Be able to carry out an initial verification (inspection & testing) on an electrical installation and complete the necessary paperwork. Please Note: These competencies are required for the assessment and are not taught as part of the course. It is also recommended that you are up to date with your wiring regulations.

Tiếng Anh, một ngôn ngữ toàn cầu, thể hiện một bức tranh đa dạng đáng chú ý của các phương ngữ (dialect) phản ánh sự phong phú về văn hóa và lịch sử của các vùng mà nó được nói. Từ âm điệu du dương của tiếng Anh Scotland đến nhịp điệu của tiếng Anh Caribbean, mỗi biến thể đều chứa đựng những cách diễn đạt và đặc điểm ngôn ngữ độc đáo, cung cấp cái nhìn sâu sắc về bản sắc và cộng đồng địa phương. Chẳng hạn, việc sử dụng "aye" ở Scotland không chỉ là một cách khẳng định mà còn gợi lên cảm giác thuộc về và truyền thống. Ngược lại, tiếng Anh của Úc sử dụng những từ lóng như "arvo" để chỉ buổi chiều, phản ánh tính cách vui tươi và không chính thức của người nói. Sự đa dạng của các phương ngữ tiếng Anh không chỉ giới hạn ở từ vựng; nó còn bao gồm sự khác biệt trong phát âm, ngữ pháp và các cách diễn đạt thành ngữ làm phong phú thêm ngôn ngữ nói chung. Trong khi tiếng Anh Mỹ được đặc trưng bởi từ vựng và chính tả riêng biệt, tiếng Anh Anh lại có nhiều giọng địa phương, mỗi giọng có những đặc điểm riêng. Hơn nữa, sự xuất hiện của các phương ngữ tiếng Anh toàn cầu cho thấy cách mà các ngôn ngữ và ảnh hưởng văn hóa địa phương hình thành cách nói tiếng Anh, dẫn đến những biến thể thú vị như Singlish ở Singapore và Hinglish ở Ấn Độ. Bằng cách tôn vinh những phương ngữ này, chúng ta công nhận tính động và phát triển của tiếng Anh, nhận ra rằng nó không phải là một thực thể đơn điệu mà là một ngôn ngữ sống động, tiếp tục thích nghi và phát triển trong nhiều bối cảnh khác nhau. Cuộc khám phá về các phương ngữ tiếng Anh này mời gọi chúng ta trân trọng vẻ đẹp và sự phức tạp của giao tiếp giữa các nền văn hóa, từ đó thúc đẩy sự hiểu biết sâu sắc hơn về nhân loại chung của chúng ta.
