Orthodox Easter is one of the most important celebrations in Greece. Some Easter customs in Greece include singing songs about the resurrection of Lazarus, baking bread shaped like Lazarus called "Lazarakia", and receiving gifts from godparents. On Holy Saturday, people light candles at midnight in church to celebrate the resurrection. On Easter Sunday, families gather to eat traditional foods like magiritsa soup and roast lamb.

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
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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.

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.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
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.
2. Orthodox Easter is one of
the greatest celebration as
Greeks follow the Holy
Week rites in
commemoration of the
Passion of Christ and
celebrate His Resurrection
on Easter Sunday. Some of
these customs became the
mascots of our school
children, who come from
different places of Greece.
4. The last Saturday before
Holy Week begins, is the
Saturday of Lazarus. In
the past women hold
baskets in their hands,
decorated with flowers,
dance and sing songs
about the resurrection
of Lazarus by Jesus,
walking from home to
home. In later years,
only girls sing songs and
people usually give
them eggs for their
baskets.
Children sing the song of Lazarus to their parents, while
they wear on their heads wreath with flowers, made by
them
5. In past, farmers did not work
on that day, because they
believed that whatever they
would cultivate would die.
They only collected the
woods in order to bake the
Easter cookies (koulourakia).
On this day mothers bake “
Lazarakia’’, small demi- sweet
breads of a shrouded man
shape. They figure them just
as Lazarus is represented.
37o Kindergarten of Thessaloniki
6. Lazarakia Recipe
Ingredients
1 k. flour
1 package active
dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
2 cups warm water
150 gr. sugar
1 tbs cinnamon
1/2 tsp anise
1 tsp salt
3 tbs olive oil
whole nuts
Cloves for
decoration
The night before baking, mix the yeast with some warm water
and 1 ½ cup of flour. Stir well, and set aside, covered, in a warm
place.
The next morning, in a bowl sift the remaining flour. Make a
well in the center and pour in the all the ingredients.
Knead well till the dough becomes elastic and shiny. Cover it
and let it rise for 2 hours. When the dough is doubled in size,
divide it in seven pieces. One of them must be larger than the
others. Roll the six smaller pieces into cords.
Stick a nut in one end of each cord. Cut the larger piece of
dough in 12 ropes. Stick the ends of 2 ropes near each nut and
braid forming an ancient shroud.
Place the breads on a oiled baking pan and cover them. Let
them rise for 2 hours.
Brush the Lazarakia with olive oil and bake them in preheated
7. Palm Sunday
The day is celebrated as
a memory of the
triumphant entrance of
Jesus Christ in Jerusalem.
This day, people go to
the church and the priest
gives them laurel
branches. This day the
faithful can eat only fish.

8. Godfather and
Godmother’s Presents
It is Greek Orthodox tradition
that the godfather or godmother
present their godchildren with
the Easter Candles each Easter,
to hold during the religious
celebration. This candle is called
lambada and usually carries nice
decoration and a little gift for
the child to behold after the
celebration. They also give them
some other gifts like chocolate
eggs and cloths or shoes.
The adults buy their own Easter
candles
9. On Thursday, Greeks prepare
for the Holy Weekend.
Everybody makes the
delicious sweet Easter bread,
called Tsoureki, or buys it
from the bakery. This is
eaten on Easter as the three
braid of the bread represent
the Holy Trinity. Many
people even cut into the
shape of a cross.

11. On Good Friday, the
atmosphere is very
depressed, as the
church bells ring
and the flags fly half
mast. Eggs are
being boiled and
dyed red, likewise
Jesus’ blood.
12. At night, everybody goes
to the church, which are
shrouded in purple as a
sign of mourning.
Processions of Epitaphs
come out from every
church and all intersect at
the city center in all
Greek towns and villages.
The choir and thousands
of believers hold the lit
candles.
The epitaph procession
13. On Holy Saturday the mood
changes from the mourning
of the epitaph to the joy of
the first Easter which happens
in the morning of Saturday. In
the island of Corfu, from all
the balconies in every home
of the island residents throw
in the streets large clay
pitchers, many filled with
water, and at the same time
all the church bells peal
joyfully.

Holy Saturday
14. Late on Saturday night, before
midnight all the people go to all the
churches. Αt midnight the church
goes dark and the bells ring out to
proclaim the resurrection. People
start letting off fireworks and
crackers! The priest lights a candle
representing of Jesus’ eternal flame
and everyone lights their candle
from this one. They carefully carry
their candle home and make a black
cross on their house with the flame
to bless themselves.
15. Τhe burning of Judah
At most villages of Crete on
the day of Holy Saturday
people meet preparations for
the big fire that burns Judah,
called “founara”. On the
morning the boys of the
village gather dry woods and
branches near the church or
at a point which is visible
from all the neighborhoods of
the village. At the top of the
wood pile they place the
effigy of Judas, made of
cloths, and at midnight they
set fire to the wood.

16. Easter Balloons
On the night of Easter Saturday, in
Leonidio, the spectacular custom
of the balloons takes place. The
hot-air balloons are prepared
weeks before the “great” night, as
almost every house builds its own
balloon.
Locals and visitors gathered in the
central square of the village and at
midnight the men of the village set
a fire the oil-and-petroleum-
soaked pieces of cloth at the
bottom of each balloon and release
them in the sky.

17. Eating Magiritsa and Red
Egg Cracking
Afterwards, they return to their
homes and the families sit
together at the table to have the
festive dinner!
They always start with cracking
the red eggs with each other, and
eat the traditional magiritsa! This
dish contains the offal of the lamb
just before it is roasted, along
with some green vegetables
(lettuce, dill and onion) boiled
together and services to break
the 40 day Great Lent period
18. Roasting the Lamb
Holy Sunday is perhaps the
best moment of Easter.
Families gather again before
noon to roast the lamb on a
spit and then enjoy a long
lunch with lots of meat,
salads and drinks.
