Becky hopes to transform her small front yard into a productive homestead that provides her with fresh food, income, and enjoyment in retirement. She plans to use permaculture principles like maximizing elements' functions, observing natural cycles, and sharing abundance to create a self-sustaining system. Through site analysis, crop planning, and soil improvement, she aims to meet 25% of her food needs from the property and preserve excess through canning and drying.

This study analysed the factors which facilitated or discouraged potential beneficiaries, e.g. tourism organizations and tourism SMEs, local stakeholders and businesses to apply for support from the European Union Structural Funds for tourism development at local and regional level. In the current recession it was important to attract as many applicants as possible. Through a wide-ranging literature review, case studies, questionnaires and interviews, the research study tried to answer questions about Romania’s modest success in attracting funds from the European Union structural funds to sustain its declining tourism sector.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

*Although my front yard is small, I hope to
capture as many elements as I can into the
usable space and make use of all areas in
front of my house. The major goal for this
present home site is to turn a green lawn
that requires mowing and gives me very
little in return into a green “home produce
store” that provides fresh food and looks
beautiful.
3. *
*My ultimate goal is to retire in a few years and be
able to spend my time at home receiving output of
food from my yard instead of the grocery store. I
want to be able to supplement my retirement
income by being able to feed myself from many
vegetables and fruits grown on my homestead, and
sharing or selling my abundance with my local
community. In my retirement years, I want to be
able to truly enjoy my homestead and the
sitting/viewing area will give me a place to relax
and observe my environment which makes me
happy and content.
4. *
*I will have a homestead that provides me with
a peaceful setting where I can enjoy the
tranquility of nature’s drumbeat as well as
providing me a source of food nourishment and
abundance. My homestead will provide enough
food resources to reduce my grocery store food
consumption by at least 25% and I will preserve
overabundance by canning, freezing, drying
and other methods of putting food by so that I
can enjoy food grown on my homestead year-
round.
5. *
* Using site analysis and mapping of the base, water, micro-
climate and access, I was able to see how each element fits
together to show areas of my homestead to place gardens
and structures. The microclimate mapping showed me that
the area that I wanted to build a garden receives full sun and
is located on the southern side of the house. This is good for
growing crops that require full sunlight. From my water map
I also found out that I had a 5-10% slope in the front yard
that allows the water to flow toward the street. This gives
me the opportunity to build swales which can build organic
matter in the soil and increase the water storage capacity
and resilience of my land (Bane, 2012). Additionally, I found
that the prevailing winds from the west were mostly
decreased from the fence that is already on the property. I
can use the opportunity to grow trees as windbreaks in the
small area where the fence stops which will decrease wind
damage to fragile plants.
Micro-climate and access

*My water map layer and base map revealed that I only
had one rain downspout from the house gutters. It
flows into the backyard onto the artificial turf which
makes it a wasted resource. Bane (2012) states that
we should intercept water and direct its flow into a
variety of storages such as tanks, ponds, plants, and
soil. Another hurdle with the downspout placement is
shown in my base map layer with the large distance
and gates between the downspout and future front
yard garden. I found that a lot of my property with
partial shade or full shade is located in agriculture
unfriendly places such as the swimming pool and small
walkways.
Water Analysis Map
8. *
* “We are now in a period of great release of stored energy
from the deep geologic past enabled by the human
exploitation of fossil fuels” (Bane 2012, pg. 30). I have a lot
of full sun areas on my property that I will try to capture the
energy from. By planting crops and trees in areas that
require full sun, I will make the maximum use of this space
by also planting part shade-loving plants in the understories
of the trees and shadows. I also envision using a rain
catchment storage tank to collect the rain water from the
downspout, while using solar-driven pumps to transfer the
water to the front yard garden where it will be used. Solar
powered pumps can be placed on the asphalted areas around
the swimming pool where full sun shines and this allows me
to decrease the use of fossil fuels as well as re-purposing the
rain water.
9. *
*“Make no waste” is a principle that Bane (2012)
explains as a well-organized system that links the
yields, surpluses or wastes of one element with the
needs of another. Simply put, I can transform
something that I don’t want into something that my
plants or livestock can thrive on. I will have a compost
pile that will eventually be rich humus full of nutrients
for my soil. A simple worm bin can feed off of food
scraps that become casting to be used with planting
seeds in my garden. I also plan to repurpose products
instead of throwing them in the trash. A used
biodegradable egg carton becomes a seed starter tray
just as the eggshells can also be a seed’s first home.
10. *
*In my homestead, I will receive many uses for each
element of my garden. For instance, the trees that I
plant can provide fruit or nuts, I can plant them in a
place that will provide a windbreak, and also use
them for shade. The existing fences on my property
will give me privacy from my neighbors, a support
structure for climbing vines and plants, and
provides protection from unwanted animals. By
having at least three or more functions for each
element on my homestead, a more stable and
diverse food growing system is created because
each element is connected and supporting each
other (Harland, 2015).
Examples from www.resilance.org:
Daylily: Edible, fiber product,
hummingbird attractor
Garlic: Nutrient accumulator,
edible, pest repellant
Jerusalem Artichoke: Edible roots,
insectary, pig forage, mulch plant
Daikon Radish: Edible, nutrient
accumulator
11. *
* My front yard garden in my homestead is small- 20’ x 10’, but can
support a modest range of perennial and annual crops. I would plant
one chestnut tree and one olive tree, which both grow well in my
climate and would provide food and oil. A spiral herb garden will be
by my front door will be planted with rosemary, lavender, chive and
mint which grow year-round in California (Herbs for California
Gardens, 2016). I would plant warm-season (basil, oregano, etc.) and
cool-season (cilantro, dill, etc.) herbs as the seasons change. By
estimating the size of beds that I would need for certain plants, I
could plant tomatoes, onions, peppers, cucumber, carrots and
strawberries and would have half of my garden space left to plant
perennials such as California poppies, asparagus and lovage. I will
practice crop rotation with my annual plants and start small so that I
slowly work toward achieving a full garden with each element in the
right space with companion plants and aspects.
Lovage plant
12. *
* Compost and a worm bin on my homestead will provide some
percentage of nutrients for my homestead. Bane (2012)
states that compost should be seen as a special resource for
selective application for soil enrichment and not for soil
repair (pg. 211). Compost will be useful to me for the
microbial life, but I will supplement my soil with free mulch
locally from Miramar Greenery, a department of the Miramar
Landfill. Special care will be needed when inspecting and
using this mulch, but due to constraints in homestead size
and costs, this is a good way to start small. Another way that
I can provide fertility to my homestead is by crop rotation
and including legumes in my annual crops. These nitrogen
fixing plants will provide nitrogen to my soil when turned
under. I can also have soil testing performed and use the
results to better understand other nutrients that may be
lacking in my soil.
13. *
* I see my homestead and my front yard garden as a “circle of
life,” with one element supporting another and making
mutual connections. I will not rely on only one food/plant
source so that if one fails, I am able to rely on other plants,
trees or food sources. Each element provides many
functions, and I will use each potential function to generate
ideas of additional elements to add. As example of this on
my homestead is that I can plant edible flowers on my
garden that can not only be used as a food source but also as
a butterfly and bee attractant which helps pollination. I need
to constantly observe and react to changes, such as when my
trees are established and growing, then I can add the
element of bird houses in the trees which will attract
beneficial birds. Tree trunks can also be used as supports for
vining plants and shade-loving plants can be planted in the
cooler micro-climate of the tree shade.
Grapes grown on tree trunks
14. *
* “It’s not always about just doing it [permaculture] without groups, with people who
already get it, we need to get it out there to people who have never heard of
permaculture before.” Jessica Schilke
* EACH ONE TEACH ONE: Finally, Bane (2012) points out that permaculture’s designs and
systems are not trivial and are to be shared. In my suburban homestead, my front yard
garden will be in sight and touch of all my neighbors who walk their dog, ride their
bike or take a walk down my road. I want to be able to share my bounty and let them
pick a cherry tomato as they walk by, to appreciate and become curious of the living
landscape before them. I would like to ensure that I have enough planted in my garden
for my own needs, but also to share with my neighbors and help educate friends on the
principles and design concepts of sustainable agriculture and permaculture. Food is a
way to the heart, soul, and mind. I can capitalize on this to spread the word by sharing
by harvest and bounty.
