This document provides instructions for growing ADP crystals. It involves three main steps:
1) Dissolving ADP powder in hot water to make a saturated solution, then allowing it to cool slowly.
2) Pouring the cooled saturated solution into a sealed container and letting it sit for 2-3 days, during which crystals will form as the solution cools.
3) Using existing crystals as "seed crystals" by placing them in a new saturated solution, then allowing it to cool slowly over 2-3 days to form even larger crystals that grow from the seeds. Repeating this process allows forming increasingly large crystals.

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.

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.
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.

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.

2. Materials
Heat source (such as a hot plate)
1 l beaker (or a similar container)
100 ml water
Glass rod
Kitchen paper or dishcloth
Oven gloves
Lab thermometer (optional)
3. Procedure
First step: dissolution of ADP crystals
Firstly, you need to dissolve the ADP powder in hot water.
1. Pour 325 gr of ADP powder in the beaker.
2. Add 500 ml of water and put to heat.
3. Stir gently to dissolve the powder.
4. Be careful with the hotplate! Avoid placing your head directly overhead
the beaker.
5. Heat until the solution boils.
4. This is the solubility curve for our solution. Since we have disolved 325 gr in
500 ml of water (650 gr in one litre). Our solution is in point A.
5. Second step: slow cooling
To obtain the ADP crystals the saturated solution has to be cooled slowly. To do
this we need a polystyrene container or a similar insulating container.
1. Turn the hotplate off and alow the solution to cool for 5 minutes. Now the
solution is in point B in the graph.
2. Make sure the plastic glass is inside the container.
3. Pour the solution into the the plastic glass.
4. Be careful not to burn yourself.
5. Cover the glass and the container.
6. Let it sit for two or three days. It is important not to move or open the
container during these three days.
7. After that time our solution will be at room temperatura in point C of the
graph. Crystals would have formed.
6.
7. What happened?
In most solutions, the higher the temperature, the more substance can be dissolved.
As the temp falls back to room temp, the solution can't support that much substance
to be dissolved anymore, so the substance has to precipitate out of the solution in
crystalline form.
When a saturated solution is cooled down at a certain temperatura it cannot support
as much dissolved ADP as it did when it was hot and it has to precipitate the excess
out of the solution in a crystalline form, as a solid.
The ADP molecues organise themselves in an orderly form, following a pattern.
A crystal is just a very organised structure like the one in the picture of the next
slide that grows as the molecules of ADP precipitate in an orderly arrangement. It’s
like playing Tetris!
8. When a solution cools slowly the molecules have more time to organise
themselves and the crystal can grow larger and better.
If the solution is cooled quickly the ADP precipitates quickly and the crystals
are smaller. When cooled slowly the crystals are less but larger.
9. Third step: Even bigger!
The crystals previously formed will be used as seed crystals.
Carefully take the crystal out of the container and place it on a cloth or kitchen paper.
Pour the liquid in the glass in a beaker. Make sure not to pour the white powder in the bottom
of the glass (gypsum).
Clean the plastic glass.
Put the crystal back in the plastic glass and into the polystyrene container.
Make another saturated solution by using some more ADP and about 250 ml of water.
Heat it until it boils.
Let it cool for 5 minutes and pour in the glass over the crystal seed.
Cover the glass and the container.
Let this cool for two or three days.
You can repeat this procedure as many times as needed.
