A Microscale Spproach to Organic Laboratory Techniques by Donald L. Pavia.pdfANAYNALLELYLAPON
The purpose of this current edition of the microscale lab book is to teach students the techniques of organic chemistry. We desire to share our joy and love of the organic chemistry lab with our students! In this edition, we include many new up-to-date experiments that will demonstrate how organic chemistry is evolving. For example, there are new experiments involving nanotechnology and biofuels. We also include several new experiments based on Nobel Prize awards, such as using organometallic catalysts for synthesis (Sonogashira Coupling of Iodosubstituted Aromatic Compounds with Alkynes Using a Palladium Catalyst and Grubbs-Catalyzed Metathesis of Eugenol with 1,4-Butendiol to Prepare a Natural Product). Also included is a synthesis of the pharmaceutical drug Aleve® (naproxen) in a projectbased experiment. This experiment includes a resolution step and makes extensive use of NMR spectroscopy. There are several new Green Chemistry experiments, and the “green” aspects of experiments from our previous book have been improved. We think that you will be enthusiastic about this new edition. Many of the new experiments will not be found in other laboratory manuals, but we have been careful to retain all of the standard reactions and techniques, such as the Friedel-Crafts r eaction, the aldol condensation, Grignard synthesis, and basic experiments designed to teach crystallization, chromatography, and distillation.

Recycling Can Be Worth It, If We Focus Our Efforts (The Topic)
For decades, people have expressed concern about the environment and how human
activity may impact it in a negative way. Conservation efforts have included global concerns
about production waste, water pollution, and endangered species. Because the scope of human
activity has an array of negative effects, many people feel somewhat powerless to affect any kind
of real change. As a result, ecologists and activists have attempted to educate the public about
ways that every individual might make small changes that will begin to alleviate long-term
effects. One of these methods is household recycling. Recently, however, some people have
begun to question the efficacy of recycling as a means for alleviating landfill waste.
The Controversy
An on-going concern is that recycling is not the solution that the U.S. government
thought it would be in the 1980s. While many people do not disagree that recycling is a good
idea, there is little to incentivize people to recycle. Further, some people even question whether
recycling bottles is better for the environment because of the shear amount of energy resources
used in the production of recycled bottles that still cause waste. There is increasing concern
about unsustainable resources and whether or not the human race can afford not to recycle.
Pro Side of the Controversy
While there are imperfections in the recycling process, those in favor of recycling
contend that investing in the process is worth it because of the positive impacts to the
environment. According to the Aluminum Association (as cited in Moss & Scheer, 2015),
aluminum cans are the most recycled material, which is good because recycling these cans saves
aluminum and only uses 8% of the energy to make a new can. Recycling prevents the release of
dangerous carbon dioxide. According to Moss and Scheer (2015), w ...
How do we protect our ecological restoration investments for the long-term? This workshop will guide managers through “climate-smart” restoration efforts, efforts that restore for future conditions in addition to past conditions. In this workshop we will interactively apply impacts of climate change from the most current scientific findings to examples of restoration efforts from throughout the Great Lakes while providing you with the tools to become “climate-smart.”

Environmental sustainability is the responsibility is one of our responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect our ecosystem to help and support our health for now and for future.. when nature is left alone, it has tremendous ability to care for itself. But human actions can deplete natural resources and without the application of environmental sustainability methods, long term viability can be compromised.
Global Carbon Budget (http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/carbonbudget/)
Global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels and cement production continue to grow at a high pace
* Global CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuel and cement production grew 2.3 per cent to a record high of 36 billion tonnes CO2 in 2013. Emissions from deforestation remain low in comparison, at 3.3 billion tonnes CO2 in 2013, accounting for 8% of total emissions.
* Fossil fuel CO2 emissions are projected to increase 2.5% in 2014, bringing the total CO2 emissions from all sources above 40 billion tonnes CO2.
* Fossil fuel emissions in the last ten years grew at 2.5% per year on average, lower than the growth rate in the 2000s (3.3%) but higher than the growth rate in the 1990s (1%). The declining growth rate in recent years is associated with lower GDP growth compared to the 2000s, particularly in China.
* Fossil fuel emissions track the high end of emissions scenarios used by the IPCC to project climate change, due to smaller improvements in carbon intensity of GDP than expected in most scenarios, and continued GDP growth.
* Given current projection of the World GDP, emissions are expected to grow further in the absence of more stringent mitigation.
* The largest emitters were China, USA, EU28 and India, together accounting for 58% of the global emissions and 80% of the growth in 2013 (top 20 emitters provided below). Key results for the top four emitters are:
- Chinese emissions grew at 4.2%, the lowest level since the 2007-2008 because of weaker economic growth and improvements in the carbon intensity of the economy.
- USA emission increased 2.9% in 2013 due to a rebound in coal consumption, reversing the declining trend in emissions since 2008.
- Indian emissions grew at 5.1% caused by robust economic growth and an increase in the carbon intensity of the economy.
- EU28 emissions decreased 1.8% on the back of a weak economy and emission decreases in some countries offsetting a return to coal led by Poland, Germany, Finland.

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.

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.
