Vatican Museums Self-Guided Audio Tour
The Vatican is the smallest independent state in the world, with a territory that is mostly surrounded by its own walls and measuring less than half a square kilometer. The Pope, as the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, resides within the Vatican, which contains the papal palace and grounds, the basilica of St. Peter, and St. Peter's Square. Both the museums and the massive church pack a lot of sightseeing potential into a little area. Along with statues and altars by Bernini and others, St. Peter's Basilica also houses Michelangelo's masterwork, Pieta. The Sistine Chapel, home to Michelangelo's beautiful frescoed ceiling, is without a doubt the showpiece of the Vatican museums. The Raphael Rooms, Borgia Apartments, Vatican Library, as well as a variety of museums, such as the Picture Gallery, Museum of Secular Art, Etruscan Museum, and others, are all located within the Vatican Palace. These exhibits feature treasures ranging from papal carriages to religiously themed art of the 20th century. Through Vox City, you can take a self-guided walking tour of the Vatican Museums.

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

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.

The main Fountain_ FONTANA MAGGIORE
The Fontana Maggiore is a monumental medieval fountain located between the cathedral and the
Palazzo dei Priori in the city of Perugia in Italy. It was made between 1277 and 1278 by sculptors
Nicola Pisano and Giovanni Pisano. The hydraulics were by Fathers Bevignate and Boninsegna.The
fountain was part of program of civic improvements begun in 1278 to celebrate the autonomy of
the free commune of Perugia. On the twenty-five sides of the basin are sculptures representing
prophets and saints, the labours of the months, the signs of the zodiac, scenes from Genesis, and
events from Roman history.
This is the most important monument in our town because it is in the historical city centre.
It is the place where young people meet on saturday nights.

THE COLOSSEUM
The Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is a large amphitheatre in the city of
Rome. The construction of the Colosseumstarted around 70–72 AD and was finished in 80 AD.
Emperor Vespasian started the work, and Emperor Titus completed it. Emperor Domitian made
some changes to the building between 81–96 AD. It had seating for 50,000 people. It was 156
metres wide, 189 metres long and 57 metres tall. It is the biggest amphitheatre built by the Roman
Empire. The Colosseum was first called the Flavian Amphitheatre or in latin, the Amphitheatrum
Flavium. This was after Vespasian and Titus who had the family name of Flavius. It was used for
gladiatorial contests, and other shows like animal hunts, in which animals would hunt and eat
prisoners; or in which gladiators would fight against animals. There were also execution of
prisoners, plays, and battle scenes; sometimes it was filled with water to fight sea battles. The
people of Rome could go into the Colosseumwithout any costs; it was free. In the Middle Ages it
was no longer used for performances. It was then used as housing, workshops, a Christian shrine,
and as a supply of building stones. It is now a ruin because of earthquakes. The Colosseumis a
symbol of the Roman Empire. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions. On Good Fridays,
the Pope leads a torch lit “ Way of the Cross” procession around the various levels of the
amphitheatre

SAN GIORGIO CHURCH
San Giorgio Maggiore, architecturally influential church in Venice, designed in 1566 by Andrea
Palladio and finished in 1610 by Vincenzo Scamozzi. The church stands on the island of San Giorgio
Maggiore, opposite the monumental San Marco Basilica, and is one of the first sights of Venice
visible to the traveler approaching by sea.
Palladio’s facade shows a characteristically Mannerist arrangement of Classical elements,
dominated by a central pediment that is flanked by the two halves of a broken pediment. The
building is also notable for its spacious light-filled interior, in which a screen of columns separates
the high altar from the monastic choir behind it.

ITALIAN PARLIAMENT
The Italian Parliament (Parlamento Italiano) is the national parliament of the Italian Republic.
The Parliament is the representative body of Italian citizens and is the successor to the
Parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia (1848-1861) and the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy
(1861-1946). It is a bicameral legislature with 945 elected members and a small number of
unelected members (parlamentari). It is composed of the Chamber of Deputies, with 630
members (deputati) elected on a national basis, and the Senate of the Republic, with 315
members (senatori) elected on a regional basis, plus a small number (currently 5) of senators for
life (senatori a vita), either appointed or ex officio. The two houses are independent from one
another and never meet jointly except undercircumstances specified by the Constitution. By the
Republican Constitution of 1948, the two houses of the Italian Parliament possess the same
powers: this particular form of parliamentary democracy (so-called perfect bicameralism) has been
coded in the current form since the adoption of the Albertine Statute and resurged after the
dismissal of the fascist dictatorship of the 1920s and 1930s during World War II. Because the
President of the Senate is acting Head of State in the absence of the President of the Republic, the
President of the Senate and the Vice-Presidents of the Senate have a higher position than their
respective counterparts of the Chamber of Deputies in the Italian order of precedence. On the
other hand, no distinction is made between deputies and senators.

THE VALLEY OF THE TEMPLES
The Valle dei Templi is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient Greek Akragas), Sicily,
southern Italy. It is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture,
and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national monument of Italy. The area was
included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1997. Much of the excavation and restoration
of the temples was due to the efforts of archaeologist DomenicoAntonioLo Faso Pietrasanta
(1783–1863), who was the Duke of Serradifalco from 1809 through 1812. The archaeological park
and landscape of the Valley of the Temples is the largest archaeological site in the world with
1,300 hectares. The term "valley" is a misnomer, the site being located on a ridge outside the town
of Agrigento.
