“Landscapes of water, source of life”
Communities and Traditional water management systems 12-13 July 2013, Vitoria-Gasteiz. Álava. País Vasco. España
www.vallesalado.com
The ancient traditions that survive in Valle Salado, the judicious management that has survived for centuries and the social structures that emerged and that have developed, make it a perfect example of a sustainable landscape that should serve as a driving force for future local development.
Fundación Valle Salado would like to encourage, at this International Conference, a discussion on different aspects related to Water Landscapes and to traditional Water management systems that are vital to communities. We would also like to share our experience with other systems that are based on the existence, whether abundant or scarce, of water, thereby achieving an international component through the desire to establish bonds of cooperation and collaboration.
Water for Life will be, during this Conference, the key element of communities that base their lifestyles on understanding its management, not only to ensure their food but also the survival of their knowledge, their traditions, their culture, in short, their identity.
Galapagos Report 2009-2010 addresses a wide range of issues related to the natural world, the inhabited areas of Galapagos, and the impacts of social and economic activities of humans in Galapagos ecosystems. Understanding the interactions between the natural world and humans, as well as the connections between Galapagos and the rest of the world, is essential to developing sound policy and a shared vision for the future.
The Governing Council of Galapagos, the Galapagos National Park
Directorate and the Charles Darwin Foundation are pleased to present
the 2011-2012 Galapagos Report - a compendium of scientific and social
analyses and observations designed to stimulate cogent, thoughtful
discussion and public policy that will help to protect Galapagos
ecosystems and its biodiversity and promote human well-being (“Buen
Vivir”) in the archipelago.
The articles presented in this edition of the Galapagos Report reflect
a range of disciplines and opinions within the general areas of human
systems, tourism, marine management, and biodiversity and ecosystem
restoration. In addition, two articles present the framework for
establishing a knowledge management initiative and a citizen science
program for Galapagos. We are pleased to include articles by authors
based in Galapagos as well as colleagues from around the globe, all of
whom have shared valuable ideas and information on critical and timely
issues.
It is the intent of the Galapagos Report to inform and stimulate discussion,
as well as catalyze critical research, and effective public action and
management policy. We are grateful to the wide range of collaborators
who have shared their vision for Galapagos and whose work is so critical
to the health and future of the archipelago. Our three institutions remain
committed to working in coordination with all Galapagos stakeholders
to ensure the long-term sustainability of this natural treasure, symbol of
Ecuador’s natural patrimony.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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
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.

International conference landscape of water, source of life. Programme
1. International Conference
“Landscapes of water, source of life”
Communities and Traditional water management systems
12-13 July 2013, Vitoria-Gasteiz. Álava. País Vasco. España
www.vallesalado.com
2. On occasion of the candidacy of the Cultural Landscape of Valle Salado de Añana (Álava,
Basque Country) to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 and a Globally Important
Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS), the Valle Salado de Añana Foundation is paying tribute
to water, thanks to which its singular way of life, culture and landscape originated.
For Valle Salado de Añana (Añana Salt Valley), water is its source of life and, therefore, we
would like to contribute to the events that have been taking place to mark the 2005-2015
Decade, declared by UNESCO as the “Water for Life” Decade.
The Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems project (GIAHS) originated in
2002 within the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation, FAO, in order to safeguard
and support unique, traditional and ingenious agricultural systems on every continent.
The programme promotes international understanding and appreciation of these systems and
their landscapes that have been created, shaped, maintained and inherited by generations of
farmers, herders, fishermen and other populations. They still use locally adapted management
practices and techniques that are often highly ingenious and that have contributed and conti-
nue to contribute to the natural and cultural heritage of the world.
The initiative promotes an integrated approach that combines local development and sustai-
nable use in unique places and landscapes and by singular cultures and peoples where water
plays a key role, displaying the wealth of human inventiveness and adaptability to the most
diverse circumstances.
Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems include a wide range of landscapes, such as
the Masai Pastoralist Heritage System (Kenya and Tanzania), the Gafsa Oases (Tunisia), Chiloé
Agriculture (Chile), the Andean Agriculture Systems (Peru), the Ifugao Rice Terraces (Philippi-
nes) or the Aohan Dryland Farming System (China).
Valle Salado de Añana also aspires to become a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Sys-
tem. Only 25 landscapes in the world have been declared GIAHS, most of them in Asia, Africa
and Latin America. There are still none in Europe.
Moreover, UNESCO announced the “Water for Life” Decade between 2005 and 2015 to
promote a new culture of water. The great challenge focuses on directing attention towards
proactive policies and activities to ensure the long-term sustainable management of water
resources, in terms of both quality and quantity.
This Decade is part of the Millennium Development Goals, agreed at the Millennium Summit
in 2000, which establish, in relation to water, halving the percentage of people without access
reducir a la mitad el porcentaje de personas sin acceso al agua potable y poner fin a la exh
3. to safe drinking water and stopping the unsustainable exploitation of water resources,
urging nations to develop integrated plans for the efficient management and use of
water resources.
Within this framework, Fundación Valle Salado (Valle Salado Foundation) has arranged
a number of meetings and seminars on various topics related to its particular nature.
Among these, we can highlight water as the raison d’etre for its existence. Water has
not only established the physical characteristics of Valle Salado, but also of all those that
distinguish it as a cultural landscape of far-reaching heritage, cultural, economic, food,
social.... interest.
The ancient traditions that survive in Valle Salado, the judicious management that has
survived for centuries and the social structures that emerged and that have developed,
make it a perfect example of a sustainable landscape that should serve as a driving force
for future local development.
Fundación Valle Salado would like to encourage, at this International Conference, a
discussion on different aspects related to Water Landscapes and to traditional Water
management systems that are vital to communities. We would also like to share our
experience with other systems that are based on the existence, whether abundant or
scarce, of water, thereby achieving an international component through the desire to
establish bonds of cooperation and collaboration.
Water for Life will be, during this Conference, the key element of communities that base
their lifestyles on understanding its management, not only to ensure their food but also
the survival of their knowledge, their traditions, their culture, in short, their identity.

Objectives of the conference
4. 1. Water and biodiversity
This session will present several examples that demonstrate the direct relationship between the intelligent use of water and
the maintenance of biodiversity and natural resources. There will also be discussions on some key risks and threats, such
as pollution or overexploitation.
2. Water and food
This session includes examples of water systems from different world regions directly linked to food production for hu-
mans.
The programme has been structured into four sessions
3. Water and culture
This session deals with peoples and communities who use and inhabit these water landscapes and, therefore, includes
experiences related to tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
4. Water and landscape
Water, whether due to its abundance or shortage, has determined the creation of a multitude of landscapes and has be-
come an essential component of the terrain. The landscape perspective enables us to integrate, in a holistic way, different
perspectives that shape the perception and management of these landscapes.
