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

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.

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. Most of the cucurbits are monoecious in character and a few are
dioecious.
Male & female flowers borne separately in the same plant.
Female flowers have a knob like structure below the flower.
Flowers open early in the morning except bottle gourd and ridge
gourd wherein it opens in the evening.
Most of the cucurbits are cross pollinated crops. Pollination is
largely done by insects (Jarnail et al., 1972).
Floral biologyFloral biology
3. Male and female should be bagged
with butter paper or polythene bags
(15x10 cm) one day before the
opening of the flower.
At the time of flower opening the
bags are removed & the pollen from
the parent are rubbed over the stigma
of the female flowers of the same
variety.
Female flowers are again bagged to
avoid contamination.
Bags should be removed one week
after pollination. Fruits are removed
when they are fully matured.
In bottle gourd, ridge gourd &
sponge gourds dried fruits are kept
for storage & the seeds are extracted
from them at the time of planting.
4. Seeds of cucurbits are highly sensitive to soil moisture.
Seeds can be pre – germinated before actual field sowing
by water soaking for 4hr.
Germinated seeds can be separated daily till 6 days.
The seed germinating after 6 days are of poor vigour.
Germinated seeds can be sown in the pits by making
small holes and dropping the seeds in the holes.
5. Land should be free of volunteer plants. Generally the soil
should be well drained and aerated.
Land Requirements
Isolation
Foundation – 1000 m Certified – 500 m
Pollination is largely done by insects. Isolation distance all around
seed field is necessary to separate the crop from field of other
varieties, fields of the same variety not conforming to varietal purity
and from wild cucurbit species.

16. Lack of standardized techniques for commercial seed
production of hybrids is one of the major reasons that restrict
the popularization of hybrid seeds.
Production of hybrid seed of cucurbits needs some special
considerations.
Depending on the floral biology, one of the following methods
can be followed for large scale hybrid seed production.
a. Picking of male flowers & artificial pollination
b. Picking of male flowers & insect pollination
c. Use of gynomonoecious lines (cucumber)
d. Use of male sterile lines (muskmelon, squash, pumpkin)
17. 1. Picking of male flowers and artificial pollination
In monoecious plants, emasculation is not required. Female
and pollen parent lines are planted alternately in an isolated
field.
Male flowers from the female parent are pinched before they
open. Pistillate flowers of the female parent are artificially
pollinated with the pollen of the male parent using cotton
puffs by manual labour.
2. Picking of male flowers and insect pollination
Female and pollen parent lines are planted alternatively in
an isolated field.
Male flowers from the female parent are pinched before they
open. Female flowers are left on the seed parent and
allowed to be pollinated by insects from the pollen parent.
19. The gynoecious sex form have been commercially exploited in
hybrid seed production of cucumber (Pusa Sanyog) at IARI R.S.
Katrain.
Performance is unstable under high temperature and longer photo
period. It is not suitable for tropical regions.
In IARI, tropical suited gynoecious lines are developed.
20. Maintenance of gynoecious lines
In gynoecious lines, only pistillate flowers are produced and so
it requires staminate flowers for self pollination.
For production of staminate flowers, GA3 100 ppm is sprayed
thrice at 15 days interval from 2ndleaf stage or single foliar spray
of silver nitrate 600 ppm is done before 1stflower open.
It induces staminate flowers for fertilization of pistillate
flowers.
➢ At physiological maturity / ripening, fruits are harvested and
seeds are extracted. Such seed when sown in next generation
will produce only pistillate flower.
21. by theThe hybrid seed can also be produce in cucurbits
application of chemicals for attaining the sex of cucurbits.
Specific chemicals are known to induce femaleness and maleness
as desired.
The spraying of ethrel (2-choloro-ethyl-phosphonic acid) 200-300
ppm at two and four true leaf stage and another at flowering is
useful for inducing the pistilate flower successively in first few
nodes on the female in bottlegourd, pumpkin and squash for F1
seed production, Verma et al., 1985.
22. Field inspection and rouging
Minimum of 3 field inspections
- before flowering
- during flowering and at immature fruit stage
- during mature fruit stage
In case of hybrids, at least 4 field inspections are necessary
Isolation, planting ratio, off-types, nicking of male buds in
the seed parent block, ascertaining accuracy in
emasculation or to check pollen shedding cymes in male
sterile lines and to verify true fruit characteristics.
Maximum percentage of off types permitted
foundation seed - 0.10%
certified seeds - 0.20%
23. HARVESTING
Harvesting of the fruits at appropriate maturity stage should be
done.
In some cases one picking for consumption/commercial as fresh
vegetable does not affect the ultimate seed yield but adds to the
farmers income.
Fruits of bottle gourd are ready for seed beyond the edible fruit
maturity.
Skin of bottle gourd becomes hard and colour changes to light
brown or yellow at seed maturity.
Colour of bitter gourd and snake gourd changes yellow /
orange / red from green at maturity.
In ash gourd white colour ashy coating and metallic sound
indicates the maturity.
In ribbed gourd, complete drying of fruits and turning of colour
from green to brown.
24. Seed extraction
Seed separated from the pulp by
•Fermentation and repeated washings OR
•Mechanical OR
•Chemical methods OR
•Dry extraction method
25. Fermentation method
Pulp is allowed to ferment in wooden or non-metallic barrels
for about 30 hrs with occasional stirring to prevent growth of
moulds of the seed surface.
Separated clean seeds sink to the bottom and can be collected,
washed and dried.
Then the seeds are separated by rubbing with hands with
excess quantity of water.
26. Mechanical method
In the mechanical method, fruits are cut and macerated mechanically
and the pulp is squeezed forcibly for separating the seed.
Chemical method
In the chemical method, seed is extracted with the use of an acid or
alkali.
Eg. In ash gourd the fruits are cut into 4 pieces and the central
portion is scooped out. Then the seeds are extracted using HCL.
1N Hydrochloric acid (50-60 ml) is thoroughly mixed with 10kg
pulp and allowed to stand for about 30 min.
Seed is then washed thoroughly to remove the residues of acid /
alkali and dried to safe MC.
27. Dry Extraction
• Dry extraction processes are usually adopted for ribbed gourd &
bottle gourd
– In ribbed gourd the dried pods are cut opened at the distal end
and seeds are collected and cleaned
– In bottle gourd the fruits are cut opened at the proximal end and
seeds are collected
• Seed is scooped out of the fruit and sun dried. The clean seed is
then removed by rubbing over a sieve and winnowing or blowing to
separate the inert matter.
• Seeds may be washed once, if necessary and then re-dried to safe
seed MC.
• In this method machines, like Axial Flow Vegetable Seed Extractor
28. Seed recovery
Bitter gourd - 30%
Snakegourd - 15-16%
Ribbed gourd - 13-14%
Ash gourd - 1.0-1.3%
Drying
Drying is done to reduce the MC in the seed to safe limit because
SMC affects the germination and storability.
Grading or size separation
Various equipments such as air-screen cleaners, gravity and indented
cylinder separators, etc. are available in the market which can be
taken up as per the requirements.
Farmer can use even hand sieves for taking up the enterprise on a very
small scale.
Mostly 16/64” round perforated sieves are used for grading
