This document discusses different types of drugs and their effects on the body. It covers medical drugs like aspirin and antibiotics, as well as hallucinogens, stimulants, depressants, and addictive drugs like heroin, nicotine, and alcohol. It explains how these substances are absorbed and broken down, and how regular use can lead to dependence and tolerance. Negative social and health impacts of certain drugs are also outlined, such as crime associated with heroin addiction, and diseases linked to smoking like lung cancer and heart disease.
This is a presentation I did last year in Chicago for Cook County juvenile probation officers. It is an update on patterns of drug abuse by adolescents. Among other things, it acquaints viewers with the problem of street drug misrepresentation. Not only are the same street drugs sold in different forms, but drugs that look the same may contain completely different drugs.
There is an epademic of cocaine and other drugs use in our schools. This presentation was created to be used at High Schools to explain and illustrate to the students about the bad affects of using drugs.

Drug addiction is complex illness characterized by compulsive and uncontrollable drug
craving, seeking and use that persists even in the face of extremely negative
consequences. Drug abuse and its disorders are the result of complex interaction of
sociological, biological and physiological factors. With the easy availability of semi-
synthetic products like heroin the abuse can be associated with more than one factors.
Tolerance means diminishing effect of the same dose of a drug or the need
to increase the dose to get a similar effect.
Habituation is the emotional or psychological need felt for a drug.
Dependence is the physical need to take the drug.

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.

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.
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. What are drugs
A drug is any substance that is taken into the body
that alters or influences chemical reactions in the
body.
3. Types of drugs
Medical drugs
These drugs are designed to suppress pain
, counteract the symptoms of flue or kill
pathogenic bacteria
Aspirin
Paracetamol
Morphine
Antibiotics
5. Types of drugs
Stimulants
These are mood-enhancing drugs which give the
user a short-lived feeling of wellbeing and energy.
Examples
Cocaine , ecstasy and amphetamines.
6. Types of drugs
Depressants (downers)
Slow down the brain and central nervous system.
Examples are alcohol, beer, wine, vodka, gin etc
heroin, tranquilizers, sleeping pills
7. Drugs in the body
Drugs such as nicotine and heroin , interfere with
the way that the nervous system works.
Mood-enhancing drugs, such as heroin and
nicotine act at synapses in the nervous system and
change the way in which neurons send impulses.
Drugs are broken down in the body by enzymes
and the products are excreted.
8. Drug addiction
Many drugs have the potential to be addictive. If the body
comes to rely on the drug a person can become addicted
and feel the need to take it regularly.
The body’s metabolism may become used to the drug.
The liver may produce more enzymes to break it down so
that the dose of the drug has to increase to have the
same effect the user first experienced.
9. Drug tolerance
in the case of heroin, synapses may produce more
target molecules and if these do not combine with
heroine this leads to an increase in the feeling of
pain.
The person has become dependent on the drug
and cannot survive without it.
When the people stop taking the drug they may
experience withdrawal symptoms which can vary
from nausea to severe cramp.
10. Antibiotics
Antibiotics are a group of chemicals made by
microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) that are used
in chemotherapy as they kill pathogens or stop
their growth.
Antibiotics destroy pathogens by disrupting cell
wall formation, inhibiting protein synthesis and
metabolism in the pathogen cell.
12. HEROIN
Biology of heroin
Heroine is a compound modified from morphine.
Heroine is a powerful depressant that slows down the
nervous system.
Heroine resembles the natural body’s
painkillers, known as a natural opiate.
First time users experience euphoria- feeling of
contentment and intense happiness.
13. Addiction to heroin
Heroin becomes part of the body’s metabolism and
the body quickly gets used to the drug.
More painkillers are needed to prevent them
sending impulses to the brain. But the body does
not produce more of its own natural painkillers.
14. Social problems
Heroin addicts may turn to crime to obtain money for their
next dose.
Shared needles have resulted in the spread hepatitis and
HIV amongst addicts who inject heroin.
A user who stops taking the drug experiences very un
pleasant withdrawal symptoms. These can include
sleeplessness and hallucinations, muscle
cramps, sweating, vomiting and nausea.
15. Alcohol
Biology of alcohol
Alcohol is absorbed into the blood very quickly since
it is small molecule that does not need to be digested
It is absorbed by liver cells and broken down by
enzymes so that its concentration in the blood
decreases gradually.
Alcohol is a depressant. It affects the brain by
slowing down the transition of nerve impulses.
16. Social problems of alcohol
Crime , family disputes, marital breakdown, child
neglect and abuse, absenteeism from
work, vandalism, violent crime including murder.
Alcohol and other drugs are involved in many road
accidents.
17. Long-term effects of alcohol
Stomach ulcers, heart disease and brain damage.
If heavy drinking continues then the liver becomes
full of nodules. This is the condition known as
cirrhosis.
18. Smoking and health
components of tobacco
smoke
Biology of tobacco smoke
Nicotine
It is absorbed very quickly through the alveoli to enter
the bloodstream. Nicotine makes the heart beat faster
and narrows the arterioles.
- Tar
Is a black sticky material that collects in the lungs as a
smoke cools. Tar irritates the lining of the airways and
stimulates them to produce more mucus.
19. Components of tobacco
smoke
Carbon monoxide
This is a poisonous gas. It is absorbed by
hemoglobin in red blood cell.
It reduces the volume of oxygen that blood can carry.
20. Diseases caused by smoking
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
The bronchi become blocked as there is less space
for air to flow. Large amounts of mixture of
mucus, bacteria and white blood cells are
produced, which people attempt to cough up.
The break down of alveoli becouse of partcles
bacteria and tar , reducing gas exchange is called
emphysema.
