Conventional vs organic agriculture: Cornelia Harris, Cary Institute of Ecosy...Teaching the Hudson Valley
Part of THV's July 2014 institute, "Farms & Food: Teaching the Hudson Valley from the Ground Up." From a full-day field experience, "Our Ecosystem, Our Health: Exploring the Benefits of School & Community Gardens," in Poughkeepsie, NY. Particpiants visited gardens at Krieger ES, Poughkeepsie HS, and the Poughkeepsie Farm Project with Cornelia Harris, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, and Jamie Levato, education coordinator for the Poughkeepsie Farm Project.
A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.
ECochG is a variant of brainstem audio evoked response (ABR) where the recording electrode is placed as close as practical to the cochlea. We will use the abbreviation ECOG and ECochG interchangeably below. ECOG is preferable to us as it is shorter.
ECOG is intended to diagnose Meniere's disease, and particular, hydrops (swelling of the inner ear). ECOG may also be abnormal in perilymph fistula, and in superior canal dehiscence. The common feature connecting these illnesses is an imbalance in pressure between the endolymphatic and perilymphatic compartment of the inner ear.
ECOG can also be used to show that the cochlea is normal, in persons who are deaf. The cochlear microphonic of ECOG may be normal in auditory neuropathy (Santarelli and Arslan 2002) as well as other disorders in which the cochlea is preserved but the auditory nerve is damaged (Yokoyama, Nishida et al. 1999).
Finally, ECOG's have also been used to as a indicator of the temporary threshold shift that may follow noise injury (Nam et al, 2004).

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.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Food in the World
• 30,000 plant species with
parts people can eat
• 15 plants and 8 animals
supply 90% of our food
• Wheat, rice, and corn are
half the calories people eat
• 66% of people eat mainly
rice, wheat, and corn
(grains)
• The top third of the
economic chain eats
primarily meat.

3. Types of Food Production
• Industrialized agriculture
• Traditional agriculture
www.orknet.co.uk/welsby/ farming.htm
4. Industrialized Agriculture
• Industrialized
agriculture-Use large
amounts of fossil fuel
energy, water,
commercial fertilizers
and pesticides to
produce huge
quantities of single
crops or livestock
animals for sale.

5. Traditional Agriculture
• Traditional agriculture-practiced by 2.7%
people on earth
– Traditonal subsistence agriculture-produce
enough food to stay alive
– Traditional Intensive agriculture-farmers increase
inputs of human and draft labor, fertilizer and
water to get a higher yield per area of cultivated
land to produce enough food for families, and
their income

6. Green Revolution
Involves 3 steps
• 1. Developing and planting monocultures of
selectively breed or genetically engingeered
high yeid varieties of key crops
• 2. Lavishing fertilizer, pesticides, and water on
crops to produce high yeilds
• 3. Often increasing the intensity and
frequency of cropping
7. Interplanting
• Polyvarietal cultivation-Where plot is planted
with several varieties of the same crop
• Intercropping-two or more different crops
grown at same time on a plot
• Agroforestry- Crops and trees are planted
together
• Polyculture-Many different plants mature at
various times, and are planted together.
8. World Food Problems
• Reasons for problems:
– Population growth
– Increasing affluence
– Degradation and loss of
cropland
– Little growth in irrigation
– Decline in global
fertilizer

12. Environmental Effects of Producing Food
• Agriculture has a
greater harmful impact
on air, soil, water, and
biodiversity resources
than any other human
activity.
ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/HY/ hydrochloric_acid.html
13. Increasing Crop Yields
• Agricultraul experts expect most future
increases in food yields per hectare on existing
cropland to result from improved strains of
plants and from expansion of green revolution
technology
14. Cultivation of Land
• 36% of the world’s land
is devoted to raising
crops.
• Some think that
cultivating more land is
a possible solution to
the food crisis.
www.cahe.nmsu.edu/ employee/cca/
15. Food Growth in Urban Areas
• Urban gardens provide 15% of world’s food.
• If people grew more food in their backyards,
they could live more sustainable and save
money.
16. Gov. assistance to farmers and consumers
• Keep food prices low
• Give farmers subsidies to keep them in
business and to encourage them to increase
food production
• Eliminate most or all price controls and
subsidies
• Continue Agricultural research
17. Sustainable Agricultural
• Sustainable
Agricultural-Method of
growing crops and
raising livestock based
on organic fertilizers,
soil conservation, water
conservation, biological
control of pests, and
minimal use of
nonrenewable fossil
fuel energy www.sare.org/htdocs/ sare/about.html
