The document discusses World Biodiversity Day, which is celebrated annually on May 22nd. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth, including genes, species, and ecosystems. The United Nations designated May 22nd as International Day for Biological Diversity in 1993 to raise awareness of biodiversity issues. In 2017, the theme is "Biodiversity and Sustainable Tourism" to highlight tourism's role in biodiversity conservation and sustainable use. Educational and research institutes can celebrate Biodiversity Day through activities like workshops, establishing gardens and museums, collecting research data, and engaging with local communities.

The 11 Pacific Island countries of the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu have a combined population of about 2.3m people, spread across hundreds of islands over an area equivalent to 15% of the earth’s surface. As small island economies, the Pacific Island countries face a range of challenges. They have limited natural resources and narrowly-based economies which are geographically remote from the world’s major markets. They are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, notably rising sea levels and increasingly intense cyclones. At the same time, higher education in the region, notably in Fiji which is the region’s most populous country, is developing very rapidly.
This presentation reviews the role of local and global partnerships in supporting the development of higher education in the Pacific, with particular reference to the role of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) in the region. With more than 500 member institutions in over 50 countries, the ACU brings together some of the most long-established and well-funded universities with relatively new institutions in some of the world’s poorest and smallest countries. Yet despite differences in size, resources and cultures, the common language and systems of the Commonwealth offer a considerable advantage and create unique opportunities for collaborative research and student/staff mobility. Using examples from the Pacific, this presentation will explore the ACU's wider initiatives to connect, convene, and seed change, including a new network to encourage those countries most affected by climate change to pool experience and expertise, and programmes to create new opportunities – and new dynamics – within international student mobility.

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
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.

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.

2. What is Diversity ?
• Diversity is a range of different things.
• Well-known areas of diversity include race, religion, colour, gender,
nationality, sexual orientation, age, education and skills.
3. What is Bio Diversity ?
• Biodiversity is the variety of life.
• Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots, and has been
increasing through time, but will be likely to slow in the future.
• "Biodiversity" is most commonly used to replace the more clearly
defined and long established terms, species diversity and species
richness. Biologists most often define biodiversity as the "totality of
genes, species and ecosystems of a region.”
4. World Biodiversity Day : History
• The United Nations has proclaimed May 22 The International Day for
Biological Diversity (IDB) to increase understanding and awareness of
biodiversity issues.
• First created by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly in
late 1993, 29 December was designated The International Day for
Biological Diversity.
• In December 2000, the UN General Assembly adopted 22 May as IDB,
to commemorate the adoption of the text of the Convention on 22
May 1992 by the Nairobi Final Act of the Conference for the Adoption
of the Agreed Text of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
5. Theme for 2017
The theme, indicated by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
coincides with the designation of 2017 by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) as the
International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. Celebration of the IDB under
this theme is mean to raise awareness and action towards the important contribution of
sustainable tourism both to economic growth and to the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity. The selected theme is also expected to contribute to ongoing initiatives such as
the Sustainable Tourism Programme of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes on
Sustainable Consumption and Production Patterns and to promote the CBD Guidelines on
Biodiversity and Tourism Development.
