The poems describe the destruction of nature through human activities like pollution and deforestation. Though nature was once beautiful, with bright sun, dancing trees, and singing birds, it is now being "blazed" and its beauty erased as the sky darkens, trees die off quickly, and birds sing songs of sadness. The feeling of swinging through the air on a mountain was once euphoric but nature is now abused and its destruction has become human culture, to the pain of the speaker. The poems ask why people abuse nature and for help to change evil ways and see the damage being caused.
In this poem - Magnificent Land, I admire, the natural beauty of Finland; its Pristine freshness, and fauna and I glorify the almighty God, for this bountiful Creation!
Here in this poem, A walk in the woods, I am mesmerised and spellbound by God's abundance, that we see in our daily lives, forget to be thankful, and show our gratitude to him, for all that he has bestowed us with!
In the poem, the poet asks the soft-falling shower, ‘Who are you?’ to which she replies that she is the poem of earth. It is a strange thing for the rain to reply to the poet. The rain told the poet that she cannot be touched as she rises in the form of water vapour in the sky from the land and the bottomless sea. It changes its shape yet it remains the same. The vapour changes into clouds due to condensation.
It falls back on the surface of the earth to provide water to the drought-prone areas and to beautify and purify the earth (its birthplace). It provides life to the seeds inside the earth and helps them grow.

What I Have Learned from Natureby Grant MincySome of.docxphilipnelson29183
What I Have Learned from Nature
by Grant Mincy
Some of my fondest childhood memories are with my parents hiking around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One memory is particularly vivid. I was six and on the trail to Abrams Falls after a summer rain moved through the forest. The sun was just again peaking through the canopy. As my folks and I moved along the trail I noticed water droplets on the leaves of a rhododendron. We stopped for a rest next to the woody plant along the bank of Abrams Creek. I sat down, letting my hands feel the damp Earth, laden with bryophytes. I studied the beads of water on the plant before turning my considerations to the creek. My love for nature began young.
In the wild I am always in awe of water. Water, in its many forms, occupies every part of the forest. Clouds are among my favorite forms water takes. There is nothing like standing on a green mountain bald on a cool spring day — the clouds steal the show. Whether weeping grey or puffy white, when the land is again bursting with life, clouds hug ridges and occupy valleys in ways that can only be described as breathtaking. I once had the holy experience of camping in the Blue Ridge of North Carolina on a late Spring evening at over 5,000 feet. As I hiked to camp I moved across mountain meadows covered in a thick fog, but my destination sat above the clouds. That night around a roaring bonfire, in the company of budding plants and a vast array of newly awakened wildlife, there was a piercing, radiant starry night above, and a sea of clouds cracking with lightning below. All of the heavens witnessed Earth’s wonder.
From the clouds, in the chill of January, snow seems to continually fall over temperate Appalachian forests. In the winter, snow dusts the landscape, coating evergreens and the naked limbs of deciduous trees. When running old trails in this ancient terrain in the depths of the season, ones own breath is often visible as it escapes the lungs. If, like I often do, one follows this vapor in the white landscape, it is hard not to notice the depth of the mountains this time of year. Though peppered in white, something about the winter makes the Appalachians appear dark. Perhaps it is exposed ancient metamorphic rock, thick ice that clings to steep mountain ridges and the bare grey bark of trees, but the color avoids a description. The mountains are mysterious and beautiful beyond words.
My favorite time in the woods, however, is Autumn. Fall air is always brisk, the sky is often a beaming cerulean blue, and it is of no mystery why the southern Appalachians are long described as “smoky.” A thick mist settles in the mountains in the fall and the forest changes dramatically daily. Some of my favorite moments of solitude, and thus my life, are experienced in the mountain lowlands in late autumn. Under the splendor of November hue, on the banks of a stream I am often lost in thought as I watch water carve its way through ancient rock while, at the same .

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.
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.

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.

English poem
1. Blue green like a crayon is the glistening, warm water.
The brownish sand is warm between my welcoming toes.
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Though I was on the sheer face of a mountain, the feeling of swinging through the air was
euphoric, almost like flying without wings.
The god elaborated his thinking ,
to save the mother earth from sinking .
He chiseled an innovative mind ,
which is having unending quest to find.
The new era got blossomed,
with all the might nature questioned.
Why the beautiful nature is converted to desert,
as paving of new ways could bring hazard.
All around the nature is being blazed,
the beauty of nature is tended to be erased.
The nature is searching her inmost voice,
that could replenish her integrity erasing all noise.
They are the blessed messengers,
came to save the life of earths passenger.
To regain the beauty beyond the revealed words,
and converting her to joyful clattering bird
the sky is blue
the sun is so warm up high

Destruction Of Nature - Poem by jo a. matibag
i see the natures beauty
from faraway, it looks pretty
but many times, my heart pains to see it
beacuse its being destroyed bit by bit
the sun once shone so brightly
now, it seems to change greatly
the birds used to sing songs of happiness
now they sing songs of mourning and sadness
oh, why do people abuse dear nature?
why is it that destruction is now their culture?
Lord of Heaven and earth help me
their evil ways, let them see
Man bled the earth dry
killing what we need
poisoning our waters
destroying the land
even the air is polluted.
No more flowers growing
trees all dying off quickly
the sky will be grayed out
choking the oxygen out
soon animals will be gone
then man and life ceases.
i see the natures beauty
from faraway, it looks pretty
Though I was on the sheer face of a mountain, the feeling of swinging through the air was
euphoric, almost like flying without wings.
the sun once shone so brightly
now, it seems to change extremely
3. i see the natures beauty

the sun once so brightly
now, it seems to change extremely
I see the nature’s beauty
From faraway it looks so pretty
I was on the sheer face of a mountain,
The feeling of swinging
Through the air was bracing
clouds form shapes within the skies,
light will glisten from your eyes,
and hearing the sound of a water splash,
catch its glimmer in a flash.
when all together all seems sound,
lay yourself as upon the ground,
take a moment to inhale,
and listen to the nature to tell her tale.
As years goes by the nature is being blazed,
Its beauty is tended to be erased
4. MANDALA
The sun shines so brightly,
Now it seems to change extremely,
So with the trees was once fluttering and dancing,
But now it continues to die off quickly as a lightning.
Blue green like a crayon is the glistening of warm water,
Now it seems to change into a dark water,
So with the sky that was once
But now it continues to
My heart pains to see it,
Because its being destroyed bit by bit,
All around the nature is being blazed,
The beauty of nature is tended to be erased.
oh, why do people abuse dear nature?
why is it that destruction is now their culture?
Lord of Heaven and earth help me
their evil ways, let them see
