Eguide lucene revolution_2011_v1d
Welcome to San Francisco!
We are excited to be bringing you the second Lucene Revolution event, following quickly on the
success of our 2010 conference in Boston last year. In addition to all the great feedback we received
after Boston, many people asked about bringing the conference to the West Coast – and here we
are. It’s great to host the community here in our home state of California.
There’s now no question: the revolution is in full swing, and Lucene and Solr are shaping the future
of search. The diverse range of search technology and applications is without a doubt one of its
greatest strengths. For the extended community and ecosystem of open source search, Lucene
Revolution is an unmatched opportunity to learn, network, share experiences, see how others have
changed the world of search.

The Organic Food Fad
Industrial farm animal productions (IFAP) have been the reason why meat is as inexpensive as it is. They are able to produce mass amounts of meat while keeping costs low. The industry has gone unquestioned for many years, until now. Why is that? Restaurants and food products now add “organic” or “cruelty-free” on their labels and consumers buy it despite the higher price. This new age of food consumption has gotten people to think about where their food comes from and how it is treated before it is shelved in the grocery store then placed on their plate. With animal activists spreading horror stories of the animal industry through news and social media, it is hard to ignore this once overlooked problem. Is affordable meat worth what IFAP put animals through? IFAP causes harm to the human population, the environment, and animals leaving its continuation to be both unnecessary and damaging and yet it is difficult to eliminate.
One corporation that is capitalizing on the organic and natural food trend is Chipotle Mexican Grill. They have released many advertisements that promote their food and their campaign towards sustainable food systems. One commercial in particular, “Back to the Start”, portrays a farmer and his family going out of business due to factory farming. The pigs going through the factory are pumped with antibiotics, packed and then shipped off all while the factory pollutes the surrounding air and bodies of water. Playing in the background is a cover by Willie Nelson of Coldplay’s song “The Scientist”. The narrator “was just guessing at the numbers and figures pulling the puzzles apart” much like how the American population was unsure of the effects IFAP caused (Nelson, 2011). Eventually, the population began to question the industry once they learned more and put the puzzle pieces together. The next line says “science and progress do not speak as loud as my heart” (Nelson, 2011). This mimics the feelings of the audience as they know factory farming is not sustainable nor healthy but those faults are not as prominent as how morally wrong industrial farming is. The song directly corresponds to how Chipotle wants to make their audience, and potential new customers, feel. To top it off, the song is sung by someone with those exact feelings. To the casual listener, this cover is soothing and motivational, but Willie Nelson was not chosen at random. Nelson is actually an animal rights activist and supporter of family farming.
With companies such as Chipotle beginning to point out inadequacies within IFAP, more people have begun to look deeper into the industry and have shared the information they uncovered. Two of those people are John Rossi and Samual Garner who have written an extensive critique of IFAP by reviewing the industry in five steps to ‘[show] that from any reasonable moral perspective, IFAP is not morally defensible”(Rossi & Garne ...

Youth Progress Index Presentation to the European Parliament
The Youth Progress Index is one of the most innovative tools for measuring the quality of life of young people because it reflects the things most important to their safety, health and freedom, and like all our indexes, it remains independent of economic indicators. This social progress index offers distinct and equally important insight that will be critically helpful in empowering the largest generation ever in their transition from childhood to adulthood.

Consumerism
In June 2008, I wrote a 2-page document in response to 2 online special education courses I took, expecting to be about real disabilities, but proved to be significantly about psychiatric labels and other politically motivated labels, e.g. "AIDS" and "type 2 diabetes," which have been manufactured by the ideological descendants of the Inquisition. The content lent itself better to PowerPoint, and over the next year, the project grew into the opus seen here. It concludes with my vision of world peace and the significant challenges in getting there. Running time: approx. 1 hr. 20 min. Rated PG-13 for some tart language.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
