The Odyssey is Homer's epic of Odysseus' 10-year struggle to return home after the Trojan War. While Odysseus battles mystical creatures and faces the wrath of the gods, his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus stave off suitors vying for Penelope's hand and Ithaca's throne long enough for Odysseus to return.

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.

2. CEYX AND ALCYONE
The story of Alcyone and Ceyx is very
touching and portrays the love that triumphs
over tragedy. This young couple was so
much in love that neither the gods nor death
could set them apart. Alcyone followed her
husband to the other life and did so with her
free will. From this myth also derives a well-
known phrase, the Halcyon Days.
3. Characters
The king of Thessaly.
Husband of Alcyone
ALCYONE
Daugther of the keeper of the
winds, Aelous:; wife of Ceyx
CEYX
4. They were so happy in their marriage
that they used to often playfully call
one another Zeus and Hera. This
infuriated the chief of the gods who
regarded it an audacity. Zeus waited
for the proper time to punish the
arrogant couple who dared to make
themselves comparable to gods.

5. Ceyx was still in mourning over his brother's death and deeply
troubled over some ominous signs that had observed. So, he
decided to consult the oracle of Apollo at Carlos in Ionia (Western
Anatolia). Alcyone, however, tried to dissuade her husband from his
decision to travel through the dangerous seas to consult the oracle.
She reminded him of the danger from the fury of the winds which
even her father, the god of the winds, often found difficult to control:
she put pressure over her husband to take her along with him. But
Ceyx wouldn't put his beloved wife through unnecessary danger.
Alcyone watched with a bad feeling as the ship carrying her
husband was getting away from the harbor.
6. Zeus, the chief god, decided this
was an opportune time to punish
the couple for their sacrilege. He
launched a thunderbolt that
raised a furious hurricane
engulfing the ship which began to
sink.

7. Ceyx, realized that the end had
come for him and, before he got
drowned, he prayed to the gods
to allow his body be washed
ashore so as to enable his
beloved Alcyone to perform the
funeral rites. As Ceyx gasped his
last breath, his father Esophorous,
the morning star, watched
helplessly, shrouding his face with
clouds, unable to leave the
heavens and rescue his son.

8. The lovely Alcyone waited for her husband for
a long time, praying continually to the gods,
especially Hera, queen of the gods, for the safe
return of Ceyx. Hera felt profound sorrow for
the tragic fate of Ceyx. She sent her messenger
Iris, goddess of the rainbow, to look for
Hypnos, the god of Sleep and comforter of the
afflicted, to whom was assigned the mission of
gently informing Alcyone about the death of
her husband. Hypnos, in his turn, entrusted the
mission to his son Morpheus, an expert in
forming apparitions.
9. Morpheus created a life-like specter of
Ceyx which revealed to Alcyone the
tragic circumstances concerning the
shipwreck and death of her husband. In
profound grief, Alcyone ran to the
seashore beating her breasts and tearing
her garments. She suddenly beheld the
body of a man that had been washed
ashore. Coming closer, she realized it was
the body of her beloved Ceyx. After
performing the last rites and unable to
continue living without her husband,
Alcyone threw herself into the sea and
got drowned, determined to join her
husband in the land of the dead.

10. The gods on Olympus were profoundly
affected by the tragic fate of Alcyone and
Ceyx, as well as their wonderful love for one
other which not even the frosty hands of
death could extinguish. In order to atone for
his rash action that was responsible for this
tragedy, Zeus transformed the couple into
the Halcyon birds (kingfisher).
12. ● The phrase halcyon days owes it’s origin
to this beautiful myth of Alcyone and
Ceyx. According to the legend, for tow
weeks every January, Aeolus, father of
Alcyone, calms down the winds and the
waves so that Alcyone, in the form of a
kingfisher bird, can safely make her nest
on the beach and lay her eggs. Hence,
the term "halcyon days" comes to signify
a period of great peace and calm.
The myth lives till today
