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.
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.
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.

5. IGBC Green Townships rating system is a tool which enables
the designer to apply green concepts and criteria, so as to
reduce environmental impacts that are measurable. The
rating system is designed to address large developments
and it is mandatory to include residential development as
part of the township
WHAT IS IGBC?
Adopting the IGBC Green Townships rating systems will reap the following benefits:
• Water efficiency - Green townships encourage use of water in a self - sustainable manner
through reducing, recycling and reusing strategies and can save potable water to an extent
of 30 - 50%.Energy efficiency - Green townships can reduce
• energy consumption of infrastructural equipment through energy efficient street lighting,
motors, pumps etc. The energy savings that can be realised by adopting this rating
programme in infrastructural equipment can be to the tune of 20 - 30%. Further, on-site
power generation using various renewable energy technologies and other clean fuels can
significantly reduce the load on grid power supply.
•
Waste Management - Green townships encourage effective waste management strategies by
facilitating the segregating of waste at source and promoting the reuse / co-processing of
products and materials.
BENEFITS:

SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT BY CONSIDERING WATER SUPPLY, RAIN WATER AND STORM
WATER MANAGEMENT AND WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT. THIS IS ALSO SUGGESTED ACCORDING
TO THE SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT IMPROVES TOMORROW’S CITIES’ HEALTH (SWITCH)
WHICH IS A PROJECT CONDUCTED BY A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY TEAM OF 33 PARTNERS,
INCLUDING EUROPE, SOUTH AMERICA, ASIA AND AFRICA BETWEEN 2006 AND 2011 AND WAS
CO-FUNDED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION (HOWE ET AL. 2011).
• USE OF LED/INDUCTION LIGHTS:- APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE COMMON POWER
CONSUMPTION IS FROM STREET LIGHTING. HENCE IN ORDER TO REDUCE POWER
CONSUMPTION ALL THE SODIUM AND MERCURY LAMPS IN STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM IN MWC
CHENNAI ARE BEING REPLACED WITH LED/ INDUCTION LAMPS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT MWC-
CHENNAI WOULD SAVE ENERGY OF 99,450 KWH ANNUALLY AND REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS OF
89,510 KG. WITH AN ANNUAL SAVINGS OF INR 175,800
• RAINWATER AND STORM WATER MANAGEMENT:- AT MWC-CHENNAI ALL PROJECT
HAVE INSTALLED RAINWATER HARVESTING FACILITIES WITHIN THEIR CAMPUSES. RAINWATER
HARVESTING FACILITIES HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE PUBLIC SPACES COMPRISING THE PARK. A
NETWORK OF STORM WATER DRAINS HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED ALONG ALL THE ROADS, SUCH
THAT ALL RUN-OFF WATER CAN BE FLOWED INTO THE KOLAVAI LAKE, WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE PARK. THE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN
CONSTRUCTED EFFECTIVELY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE GEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS
SUCH AS THE NATURAL SLOPES; LAY OF THE LAND AND HISTORICAL FLOODWATER LEVELS IN
THE REGION.
10. Igbc FEATURES in aqualily
• WASTEWATER RECYCLING MWC- CHENNAI DEVELOPERS LTD (MWCDL) HAVE INSTALLED A
CENTRALIZED SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (STP) OF 2 MGD CAPACITY AND TERTIARY TREATMENT PLANT
(TTP) OF 1 MGD CAPACITY AT MWC-CHENNAI, DESIGNED ACCORDING TO TAMIL NADU POLLUTION
CONTROL STANDARDS, WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF TREATING WATER HAVING RAW DOMESTIC SEWAGE.
SANITARY SEWAGE GENERATED FLOWS THROUGH 20 KM OF SEWER PIPE BY GRAVITY TO THE STP
. A
WASTEWATER PIPE NETWORK HAS BEEN LAID ALL ACROSS THE TOWNSHIP AND THIS TREATED WATER
GENERATED FROM TTP IS USED FOR LANDSCAPING AND GARDENING IN COMMON AREAS AND THE
CAMPUSES WITHIN MWC AS WELL AS FOR RE-CHARGING THE RESERVOIR.
• EVERGREEN LANDSCAPE XERISCAPING, A PROCESS FOR GROWING PLANTS THAT CONSUME LESS
WATER, IS PRACTICED IN ALL THEIR PROJECTS. RECHARGE PITS HAVE BEEN BUILT TO COLLECT
RAINWATER, WHICH IS USED FOR WATERING THE PLANTS AND LAWNS IN THE PARK .IN MCW-CHENNAI

• RECYCLING OF FOOD WASTE: MWC-CHENNAI GENERATES AN AVERAGE OF 8 TONS OF BIO-
DEGRADABLE WASTE EVERY DAY OF WHICH ~5 TONS IS FOOD WASTE. A BIO-METHANATION PLANT WAS
SET UP AS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN NAANDI FOUNDATION, MAHINDRA RESEARCH VALLEY AND MWC-
CHENNAI. THIS BIOGAS PLANT, SPREAD ACROSS 1,000 SQUARE METERS CONVERTS THE 8 TONS OF
FOOD AND KITCHEN WASTE GENERATED DAILY AT MWC, INTO 1000M3 OF RAW BIOGAS WHICH IS
ENRICHED TO YIELD 400KG/DAY OF PURIFIED CNG GRADE FUEL WHICH IS THEN USED TO OPERATE THE
SHUTTLE BUSES AND TRACTORS COLLECTING FOOD WASTE AND DG SETS RUNNING WITH CNG AND
FACILITATES POWERING THE STP OPERATIONS AND STREET LIGHTS OF THE AREA. A BYPRODUCT IS 4
TONS OF ORGANIC FERTILIZER BEING PRODUCED EACH DAY, WHICH IS USED BY FARMERS TO ENHANCE
SOIL FERTILITY.
15. CIRCULATION
WITHIN THE
SITE
When we talk about circulation
at site level, we generally
focus on vehicular movement
and pedestrian movement.
Both the circulation is
important because it connects
the various spaces within the
site.
It also connects the built and
open spaces.
And through these roadways
and pathways we can easily
access any space.
16. Total site area: 55 acres
Ground coverage:
8680sqmt.
Green area: 33386sqmt
Roadway: 44515.4sqmt
Built up: 86804.9sqmt
Types of road:
Main road: 60m wide
Carriage road: 14m wide
Service road: 7m
Pathways: 3m
Built up
17. • The road present at the
periphery of the site is
connected through the main
road whereas the road
marked with blue and
yellow color is the internal
road within the site.
• The yellow color shows the
primary roads (main road of
the site) whereas the blue
color show the secondary
road.
• The successful segregation
of the roads into primary
road and secondary road.
• Each group of building has
it own entry which give a
good control to prevent
unwanted visitor.
Service road
Carriage road
Carriage road cross section (14m wide) Service road cross section (7m)
18. Pedestrian movement
• Successful hierarchy of open spaces
and built spaces, it means proper
relation between open spaces and built
spaces which is connected through
pedestrian pathways.
• The circulation is designed in such a way
that there is a separation between
pedestrian and vehicular movement
which allow to create a safe walkways.
Weakness:
• improper circulation between the corner
group of buildings and the central
landscape area.
• All the group of building is connected
through primary road, which creates
difficulty to cross the road if one wants to
go different block or space.

51. Circulation within
the building
• Circulation routes are the pathways people take
through and around buildings or urban places,
circulation is often thought of as the space between
the spaces; having a connective function, but it can be
much more than that.
• Every space a person could access or occupy forms
part of the circulation system of a building.
• Direction of movement: horizontal or vertical
•
• Type of use: public or private, front of building or
back of building
• Frequency of use: common or emergency
52. Horizontal circulation:
Horizontal circulation might include
hallways, paths, entries and exits. It
is also affected by the furniture
layout, or other objects in the space
such as columns, trees, or
topographic changes. This is why
architects use furniture as a part of
a concept design, because it is
critically linked to the flow, function
and feeling of the space.
CORRIDOR AREA: 270 SQFT
Vertical circulation
Vertical circulation is how people
move up and down within the building,
so includes things like stairs, lifts,
ramps, ladders and escalators which
allow us to move from one level to
another.
