Alligators are reptiles that have adapted to life in swamps and rivers with scaly skin, webbed feet, and sharp teeth and claws. They have a symbiotic relationship with birds like plovers that eat parasites off their skin. While alligators live in polluted waters with chemicals regularly dumped in, conservation efforts could help by reducing chemical runoff. Adult male alligators can grow over 11 feet long and weigh up to 600 pounds, with lifespans of 30-50 years, and Florida has a large alligator population.
Bats are small mammals that can live up to 30 years. They have wings and weigh around 2.3 pounds, using echolocation and their wings to hunt insects and other small animals. Bats face many environmental threats as their grassland, woodland, and rainforest habitats are destroyed by activities like wind turbines and pesticide use. This is problematic as bats eat large numbers of mosquitos and other insects and their disappearance could lead to increases in pest populations.

The conclusion restates that the presentation covered how these large construction projects are constructed.
By Justin Li, the document discusses extinct animals and the causes of their extinction. Climate change, acid rain, and cosmic radiation can all contribute to extinction. The largest extinct animal was Argentinosaurus, and human activity has increased extinction rates of both animals and plants, with the most recent being the Baiji river dolphin. To help endangered species, their habitats can be restored, protective laws can be created, and they can be protected from predators. Helpful websites on these topics are also provided.

Ava and sara logan figurative language powerpointmrhaneyrhes
This document discusses figurative language devices metaphors and similes. Metaphors compare two things without using like or as, while similes compare two things using like or as. Both metaphors and similes are not meant to be taken literally but rather help visualize ideas and make words come to life. The document was created by Ava and Sara Logan to explain these concepts.
This document defines and provides examples of similes, metaphors, idioms, and proverbs. Similes use descriptive language to create images in the reader's mind by making comparisons using "like" or "as". Metaphors directly state something is something else to convey meaning literally. Idioms do not mean what they say literally but have figurative meanings. Proverbs are sayings that contain words of wisdom.

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.
