U.S. Preps For Ebola Outbreak Cases May Exceed 100,000 By December “The Numbe...Hope Small
The article does not mention that a completely unrelated strain of ebola has broken out in the Congo. What are the chances of that?
Though news on the Ebola virus has been muted since two American health care workers were admitted to U.S.-based facilities last month, the deadly contagion continues to spread. According to the World Health Organization more than 40% of all Ebola cases thus far have occurred in just the last three months, suggesting that the virus is continuing to build steam.
Physicist Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University in Boston is one of several researchers trying to figure out how far Ebola may spread and how many people around the world could be affected. Based on his findings, there will be 10,000 cases by September of this year and it only gets worse from there.

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
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.
1. H1N1 Virus and How It is Affecting Education By: Edward Stiger
2. Introduction to H1N1 This is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. Spreads the same way as the regular flu. There is a vaccine Most important step against the infection is the vaccination. Author :Guerry Hyperlink: Flickr
3. Center For Disease Control Human infections with H1N1 are ongoing in the United States. Most people who have become ill with this new virus have recovered without requiring medical treatment. “CDC routinely works with states to collect, compile and analyze information about influenza, and has done the same for the new H1N1 virus since the beginning of the outbreak. This information is presented in a weekly report, called FluView.” H1N1 is very contagious and does pass from human to human. H1N1 is spread like the common flu. Wash your hands and do not touch your face! Author: CDC Hyperlink :CDC
4. H1N1 Hospitalizations By Age Group In 2009 From August 30, 2009 through October 10, 2009, states reported 4,958 H1N1 hospitalizations to CDC. Author: CDC Hyperlink :CDC
5. H1N1 Deaths By Age Group In 2009 From August 30, 2009 through October 10, 2009, states reported 292 laboratory-confirmed 2009 H1N1 deaths to Author: CDC Hyperlink :CDC
6. Symptoms of H1n1 Virus The symptoms of H1N1 flu virus in people include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. This is a severe disease for people over 65 and young children. People over 65 are the least likely to get the disease but if they get it, it causes serious complications. In 2009 H1N1 was officially declared as a pandemic.
7. How H1N1 is Affecting Schools. Thousands of schools are being closed weekly because of this virus. Students are missing out on valuable information that they could be learning because of being sick. Parents have to stay home and medical bill have become an all time high. Author: CDC Hyperlink :CDC
8. Can schools find away around H1N1? Before the flu season began, the MDE prepared a Q&A about how to combat these problems http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/safety/emergencyplan/pandemic/guidance/continuity-qa.pdf Take home course packets and online study guides are great examples for combating this disease. Utilizing web 2.0 technology this flu season is the best way to keep consistently teaching your students.
9. Districts, Schools, and Communities working together. “Districts, schools, and teachers should be prepared to create and distribute take-home curricular packets with up to 12 weeks of material, if necessary, for students who are sent home because of H1n1. This will be one of the simplest solutions, but it requires districts, schools, and teachers to plan ahead and think about the resources necessary to create and distribute those course packets.” - MDE Author: CDC Hyperlink :CDC
10. Conclusion The H1N1 is a pandemic that needs to be countered by educators and districts. By using online techniques with take home packets and the communities help. Teachers will be able to continue with their jobs even when their students are sick. Remember to wash your hands and keep your germs to yourself!

Editor's Notes
Hello there, My name is Edward Stiger and I’m here to talk about how the H1n1 Virus is affecting education.
Before I can talk about how it is affecting education, I need to explain what the H1N1 is. H1N1 is a new influenza that’s making people really sick. It spreads the same way as the flu but luckily there is a vaccine. This is by far the most important step against the infection.
The CDC website is a great source of information about the H1N1 Virus. The majority of people in the U.S have recovered without medical treatment. The CDC compiles data from the 46 states that have been declared as having a “pandemic” of the H1N1. This disease is very contagious, make sure to wash your hands and face!
From August 30th through October 10th 4,958 H1N1 hospitalizations have been reported. People from 5-18 have been the most common to be put in the hospital, followed by people from 25-49 and sadly, 0-4 years old.
H1N1 IS a DEADLY disease. In 2009 292 deaths have been reported from H1N1. The most common age groups that have died from H1N1 are 25-64, clearing a total of 64%.
Pay attention to these symptoms! If you have at least three of these immediately go to your doctor. If your 65 or over and you contract the disease, you are in serious danger, please go straight to the hospital.
Now that I’ve talked about the H1N1 virus and its dangers, lets see how it affects school, teacher, and education itself. School closings have reached an all time high. Students are missing out every day they miss class and teachers are getting nervous about standardized tests. There jobs depend on how well there students do on those tests. Same goes for the school board and administrators. On “count days” schools receive around 8 thousand dollars per each student that is attending school that day. If half of the school has H1N1 they are losing lots of money.
The H1N1 virus had an upside for educators. This is the perfect time to utilize new technologies such as pod casting, You Tube, and wikis. By bringing the work to the community and outside of the class room we would be able to still teach the students while they are sick at home. Parents would be more then willing to help educators with this.
As a future educator I believe that be utilizing the Web 2.0 technologies we can effectively teach our students outside of the class room. Please remember to wash your hands and stay healthy. This is Edward Stiger and this was a presentation on the H1N1 virus.
