The document discusses inhalants, which are substances like solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrites that are inhaled to get high. Over 2.6 million youth between 12-17 abuse inhalants each year, making them the fourth most abused substance. Inhalant use often begins before age 12 and can cause immediate effects like dizziness or death from sudden sniffing death syndrome. Long term effects include brain, liver, and kidney damage. Education is key to preventing inhalant abuse.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.
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.

2. • “(Inhalants) are especially (but not exclusively) abused by young
children and adolescents, and are the only class of substance abused
more by younger than by older teens.” – National Institute of Drug
Abuse
3. Inhalants
• Although other abused drugs can be inhaled, the
term inhalants is reserved for the wide variety of
substances—including solvents, aerosols, gases,
and nitrites—that are rarely, if ever, taken via
any other route of administration.
4. Statistics
• Over 2.6 million children, aged 12 – 17, use an Inhalant each
year to get high.
• 1 in 4 students in America has intentionally abused a
common household product to get high by the time they reach
the eighth grade.
• Inhalants tend to be the drug that is tried first by children.
• “Sniffing” and “huffing” can begin at age 10 or younger.
• 59% of children are aware of friends huffing at age 12.
• Inhalants are the fourth most-abused substance after alcohol,
tobacco, and marijuana.
• The number of lives claimed by Inhalant Abuse each year is
unknown because these deaths often are attributed to other
causes.
5. Other Terms For Inhalants
• Inhalation is referred to as huffing, sniffing, dusting or
bagging and generally occurs through the nose or mouth.
▫ Huffing is when a chemically soaked rag is held to the face
or stuffed in the mouth and the substance is inhaled.
▫ Sniffing can be done directly from containers, plastic bags,
clothing or rags saturated with a substance or from the
product directly.
▫ With Bagging, substances are sprayed or deposited into a
plastic or paper bag and the vapors are inhaled. This
method can result in suffocation because a bag is placed
over the individual’s head, cutting off the supply of oxygen.
6. Types of Inhalants
• There are more than 1,4000 products which are
potentially dangerous when inhaled.
• The most common products are household products
or products that can be found in a garage, school or
convenience store.
▫ Adhesives/Glue
▫ Aerosols (spray paint, hairspray, air fresheners)
▫ Bath Salts
▫ Cleaning Agents (dry erase board cleaner, household
cleaners)
▫ Food Products (whipped cream, cooking spray)
▫ Gases/ Chemicals (propane, helium)
▫ Solvents(nail polish remover, paint thinner, lighter
fluid, lighters, whiteout)
7. Effects of Inhalants
• Within minutes, the user
experiences feelings of
intoxication and may become
dizzy, have headaches,
abdominal pain, limb spasms,
lack of coordination, loss of
control, hallucinations, and
impaired judgment.
• Worse, he or she may even
die from a condition known
as Sudden Sniffing Death
Syndrome, which can even
occur with first time users.
• Although it is not very
common, addiction to
inhalants can occur with
repeated abuse
8. Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome
• It can happen during the first
time someone tries an
inhalant
• It is particularly associated
with the abuse of air
conditioning coolant, butane,
propane, electronics and the
chemicals in some aerosol
products.
• It is usually associated with
cardiac arrest, as the inhalant
causes the heart to beat
rapidly and erratically
resulting in the heart stopping
9. Long-Term Effects
• Muscle weakness, inattentiveness, lack of
coordination, irritability, depression, liver or
kidney damage and central nervous system
(including brain) damage.
10. Signs of Abuse
• HELP acronym
▫ Hidden chemical-soaked rags or clothes
▫ Eyes and nose red or runny
▫ Loss of appetite or nausea
▫ Paint or chemical stains on face or fingers
11. Prevention
• “Education is the key to prevention,” says Dr. Caudle. “Parents
should be making sure their children’s schools are taking the
necessary measures to teach children about the toxic consequences
of inhalant use and continue that education at home” (Parents Can
Prevent Inhalant Use in Children).
12. Discussion Questions
• Why do you think people start using inhalants?
• Why do you think inhalants are the most
commonly used drug by younger teens in
comparison to other drugs?
13. • Its important to be educated about inhalants and
their effects on the body. I think its extremely
popular amongst teens because it is so readily
available. The substances being inhaled are not
illegally obtained; instead they are household
items that someone could buy at CVS. Education
about the long term effects could possibly
prevent the usage of such products.
