The Trojan War began at a wedding between a nymph and a king. The goddess Eris was not invited and instigated conflict by throwing a golden apple meant for the "fairest goddess." This led Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite to debate who was fairest. Paris, son of the king of Troy, was chosen to judge. He selected Aphrodite after she promised him Helen, the most beautiful woman, as his prize. Helen was married to Menelaus of Sparta. When Paris took Helen back to Troy, Menelaus rallied the Greeks to wage war to get her back, starting the Trojan War.

THE ILIAD
INFORMATION ABOUT:
WHY ARE WE READING SELECTIONS FROM THE ILIAD?
The study of Humanities considers human beings’ reaction to the human struggle… archaeological sites provide a few clues.
As soon as writing is invented and we have actual records of the stories people told about themselves, there’s a much clearer picture.
Some of the stories are versions of myths that had already been passed down by word of mouth for centuries.
Some of the stories are accounts of historical events.
Sometimes we’re not sure which is which –
We already read Gilgamesh, which is clearly mythic – but it may dimly reflect some real historical events.
There was an ancient city named Uruk. There were earthquakes in the region that may have produced stories of “The Bull of Heaven” trampling the earth.
The entirely fantastic aspects of the story (like the
transformation of Enkidu, the slaying of Humbaba,
and the journey across the Waters of Death to meet
Utnapishtim, the man who would live forever) still
imply a wrenching transition as human beings shift-
ed from wilderness living to cities , and the growing
self-consciousness that forced them to confront their
own mortality. Most of these old stories include a
character attempting to outwit Death.
The Iliad is a natural next step in this series.
It’s not as old as Gilgamesh, but still very ancient – about 600 years older than the familiar version of the Hebrew Bible.
It is not a written version of garbled oral traditions, but a poem apparently composed by a single literary artist.
Supposedly, this writer was Homer, according to tradition a blind poet who lived “sometime between” the 12th and 8th centuries BCE – but there is no real proof that this person ever existed.
It involves the Trojan War, which was long considered a myth – but now there is growing archaeological evidence
that it may actually have happened .
However, if The Iliad has one foot in history, it
has the other foot in sheer mythology and the
antics of the Greek gods.
And it has a hero who, like Gilgamesh, is half god,
but confronts the fact that he will one day die. Homer: portrait of a man who may never have lived.
DID THE TROJAN WAR REALLY HAPPEN?
The ancients believed the Trojan War had really happened, and the date they gave was 1184 BCE.
In the 1870s, Heinrich Schliemann, a very wealthy German businessman who was fascinated with the legend of Troy, sponsored an archaeolog-cal dig in the area of Turkey where the city was supposed to have been.
Problem: they found the ruins of nine Troys, one on top of the other… number seven, which showed evidence of destruction by fire, is the strongest candidate for an actual Troy that corresponds to t.
In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature, most notably Homer's Iliad.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

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.

Paris was the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, the rulers of Troy. Because Priam had been informed by way of a prophecy that this son would cause the downfall of Troy, he brought Paris out of the city when he was young and abandoned him in the wilderness. Paris grew up a shepherd and cowherd as he lived with a nymph, and he became to be known for his fairness and judgement abilities. Paris had fairly judged a contest among prize bulls that the god Ares had won, and this prompted Zeus, who refused to decide which of the three goddesses was fairest, to enlist Paris of Troy as judge. Paris was in the land of Phrygia when the goddesses appeared before him and asked him to decide which one was the fairest. Hera offered him sovereignty over Europe and Asia if he chose her, and Athena offered him wisdom, strategy, and skill at war. But it was the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that Paris selected, for she offered him the most beautiful woman in the world. His selection was the cause of the Trojan War. Read
