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

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.
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.

7. WATER AND WASTE
MANAGEMENT
WASTE MANAGEMENT
PNEUMATIC WASTE COLLECTOR
Pneumatic waste collection directs the waste through a network of
underground tubes, from the user’s home or from a drop off box located in
the street to the collection plant.
In this plant, the waste is separated according to the collected fraction
and is stored in sealed containers, ready to be transported to its treatment
destination.
8. HOW IT WORKS?
The pneumatic waste collection
eliminates from the outset:
noise;
odors and gases from truck smelling;
potential dirt during the process of
collection;
movement of heavy vehicles in
residential areas.
DRY RECYCLABLE
ORGANIC RECYCLABLE
NON- RECYCLABLE
9. WATER MANAGEMENT
GREY WATER SYSTEM
Greywater is wastewater from showers, bathtubs, sinks, washing machines,
and dishwashers. Greywater is generally the wastewater from a household
that does not flow out of a toilet (sewage/blackwater).
Greywater reuse is currently utilized mostly on small residential scale, with
the outflow primarily going to landscaping irrigation.
10. HOW A GREYWATER SYTEM WORKS ?
• Greywater is water from basins, baths and showers that is piped to a surge tank. The greywater is held briefly in the
tank before being discharged to an irrigation or treatment system.
• The greywater can be diverted either by gravity or by using a pump.
• The surge tank can be any type of container that is suitable for holding (but not storing) the initial surge of water. The
surge tank must be emptied completely each time greywater is dispersed to the irrigation or treatment system –
greywater must not sit for extended periods of time in the tank.
• A gravity system can only be used when there is sufficient fall from the laundry/bathroom drain to the surge tank.
Benefits:
• Reduces the amount of potable, fresh water
used by households.
• Minimizes the amount of harmful chemicals
used by homeowners.
• Raises public awareness of natural water cycles.
• Saves money on water bills.
12. Festivals
• Festivals can be held to attract tourists
• Can be held during a certain period (E.g.: month of December)

17. What is Green
Building?
A green building incorporates design, construction and operational practices that
significantly reduce or eliminate its negative impact on the environment and its occupants.
Building green is an opportunity to use resources efficiently while creating healthier
environments for people to live and work in. Green building can also significantly reduce
construction and performance costs.
18. Why Build Green?
• Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to
live, work, or go to school in than standard buildings. Contractors of green
buildings incorporate techniques that use resources more efficiently during the
entire building cycle—construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and
demolition—than builders of conventional structures.
• The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of
ecosystems and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing
into streams, and the conservation of natural resources. Green buildings can
also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and
materials and improved indoor air quality, which improves the health of
occupants.
19. How to build Green?Green roofs are another feature of
green houses that reduce energy use
and cost. These roofs are partially
or completely covered with
vegetation, which helps minimize
heating and cooling costs, prevent
storm-water runoff, and filter
pollutants.
20. Other features of green buildings often include energy and water
conservation, recycling, and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy
sources such as solar power, hydropower, and wind power are used for heat
and electricity, which significantly reduces costs and decreases the impact
on the environment.
21. High-Tech City = Future City
LOVE + High- Technology
= Future City
City without love is not a future city
that we want.
City without high- technology does not
fulfill the requirement to be a future
city.
