ICLR Friday Forum: Great Cascadia megathrust earthquakes (January 26, 2017)glennmcgillivray
On January 26, 2017, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar entitled Great Cascadia megathrust earthquakes: Past, present, and future, facilitated by Dr. Kelin Wang of the Geological Survey of Canada. The event marked the 317th anniversary of the Great Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake (January 26, 1700).
Megathrust earthquakes and the tsunamis caused by them pose threats to communities along much of the west coast of North America. Without an instrumentally recorded great Cascadia earthquake, our knowledge of these events that guides risk mitigation is based on geological observations, geodetic monitoring, geophysical modeling, and global comparison. In this webinar, Kelin Wang reviewed the state of knowledge of relevant observational and theoretical studies and discussed remaining scientific challenges regarding west coast megathrust earthquakes.
Kelin Wang is a senior Research Scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada. He completed his undergraduate studies in geology at Peking University, China, and earned his Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Western Ontario. Most of his current research is on the geodynamics of subduction zones and related earthquake and tsunami hazards, but he has also worked on a range of other topics regarding the thermal, mechanical, and hydrogeological processes of Earth’s lithosphere. He is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria and an Honorary or Guest Professor for several other scientific institutions. He is Co-Editor-in-Chief for Tectonophysics and was or still is on the Editorial Boards of several other scientific journals. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and was formerly the Secretary of the Canadian Geophysical Union. In 2015, he was awarded the J. Tuzo Wilson Medal by the Canadian Geophysical Union and named the Birch Lecturer by the American Geophysical Union.
The project "Effect of subsurface barrier on seismic waves" was done as part of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering Course at Virginia Tech.
Description:
• Conducted a shake table experiment with different subsurface conditions using soil and wood and subjected it to longitudinal waves to study wave propagation.
• Compared the experimental values with the ones from STRATA theoretical model.

This publication provides a concise compilation of selected rules in the Eurocode 8, together with relevant Cyprus National Annex, that relate to the design of common forms of concrete building structure in the South Europe. It id offers a detail view of the design of steel framed buildings to the structural Eurocodes and includes a set of worked examples showing the design of structural elements with using software (CSI ETABS). It is intended to be of particular to the people who want to become acquainted with design to the Eurocodes. Rules from EN 1998-1-1 for global analysis, type of analysis and verification checks are presented. Detail design rules for steel composite beam, steel column, steel bracing and composite slab with steel sheeting from EN 1998-1-1, EN1993-1-1 and EN1994-1-1 are presented. This guide covers the design of orthodox members in steel frames. It does not cover design rules for regularities. Certain practical limitations are given to the scope.
This presentation contains the brief introduction to earthquake,its effect,causes etc..

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.
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.
