The Hawaiian monk seal is an endangered species found only in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. They have grey or black fur and prefer warm, sandy beaches for breeding. Their diet consists of fish, lobsters, octopuses and eels. Only one pup is born at a time each year and is nursed for about six weeks. Major threats include habitat loss from human activity and entanglement in fishing gear. Conservation efforts aim to protect breeding areas, supplement underweight pups' diets, and reduce disturbances to help increase the population, which now stands at around 1,300-1,400 individuals.

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.
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

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.

1. Hawaiian Monk Seal
Scientific Name: Monachus schauinslandi
Presentation by : Nicholas Tupp
2. Appearance
What does the Hawaiian Monk Seal look like?
• A Hawaiian Monk Seal has grey /black colour for their fur and
they have a light grey and white underbelly. They have two
flippers and a tail that are good for swimming with. A
Hawaiian Monk Seal also has two black eyes and a flat,
rectangular shaped nose with two nostrils and whiskers.
• Size: Length, 7.5 ft (2.3 m)
• Weight: 500 to 610 lbs (225 to 275 kg)
3. Location
Where does it live?
• Hawaiian monk seals live in
the far away Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands.
Most seals like to live in
colder climates but Hawaiian
monk seals prefer warm,
sandy beaches.
4. Habitat
What sort of habitat does it live in?
• Small islands and atolls that are either uninhabited (not lived
on) or little-used by humans. They are also surrounded with
lots of coral reefs.
5. Diet
What does it eat?
Diet: Carnivore
• Opportunistic predators that feed on a wide
variety of available prey including fish, spiny
lobsters, octopuses, and eels.
• Mother monk seals don't eat during the first 5-6
weeks after their pups are born and may lose
hundreds of pounds.
6. Reproduction
How many newborn does it have at once?
• One pup - The fetus takes 9 months to develop (like humans)
How often?
• Once a year
Nursing
• Pups are born on beaches and nursed for about six weeks.
• Mother monk seals are dedicated and remain with their pups
constantly for the first five or six weeks of their lives.
7. Threats
What are its threats?
• Tiger sharks
• Galapagos sharks
• Humans have moved into many of the
Monk Seals habitats
• Monk seals have been victims of fisheries
- usually accidental by catch
• Male Hawaiian Monk Seals sometimes kill
females of their own species in group attacks
called “mobbing.”
8. Population
How many are left?
• About 1,300 to 1,400 Hawaiian monk seals survive.
• Their numbers are believed to have fallen more than ten
percent per year since 1989.
9. Activities
What does it do during the
day and at night?
• Monk seals spend 2/3 of their time at sea, looking
for food in deep water outside the reefs
• Come ashore to rest on beaches.
• Use vegetation on the edge of the sand as
shelter from storms
What does it do in different seasons?
• Mate in the water during their breeding season from
December to August.
• Birth happens in March and June
10. Conservation
Are they being protected?
What is being done to help them?
• There are more males than females. Males can be aggressive to females
causing them to die. Need to increase female survival rates.
• Project “Headstart” began in 1981, collected and tagged female pups
after weaning, and placed them in a large, enclosed water and beach area
with food and with no disturbances. The female pups remain during the
summer months, leaving at roughly age three to seven months.
• Project “French Frigate Shoals” began in 1984. It collected severely
underweight female pups, placed them in protective care and fed them.
When they are older sent them to Kure Atoll.
• Collecting information on individual Monk seals to decide how to help
them.
• Created a Marine sanctuary – Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge
• Making people more Aware – Hawaiian Monk seal made Hawaii’s official
State Mammal – June 2008
• Education
• Volunteers to protect the seals when they are on the beaches.
11. Endangered
What is the biggest issue causing them to
become endangered?
• By the end of the 19th century they were nearly extinct due to
being hunted by seal hunters.
• Today the Hawaiian Monk seals biggest threats are human
disturbances, such as beachcombing and jogging, pet dogs
and rubbish on the beaches. These disturbances can have bad
effects on the survival of the seal pups.
