The document discusses how data visualization and data science can help connect data with social organizations to create positive social change. It describes a partnership between the New York Times R&D lab and a nonprofit called Data Without Borders where data scientists volunteer on weekends to help nonprofits better utilize and understand their data through tools like analytics, visualization and merging datasets. The goal is to help nonprofits be more effective with their work through better use of the large amounts of data they collect.
Listless markets end flat; HDFC gains 3.15% - Following a slightly positive start, markets traded listless in a range. The bias turned to negative after pessimistic European opening before recovering slightly in the end to close flat. Nifty ended above psychological 5900. Sensex closed above 19400.
The last population census in Nigeria was conducted in 2006; which puts our population figure at approximately 140million. According to our law, another census will hold in 2 years time, since we practise democracy, which is a game of number, our population counts for who would like to govern at each level of government.
Equally important is the participation of Nigerians in the electioneering process. In order to vote and be voted for, 18years is the minimum, how have we fared in terms of awareness and participating in the process that elect those who govern us – local, state and federal governments?
This study takes a look at Nigeria population, political participation since the start of Democracy in 1999 and an estimate of the 2014 projected population, and hopefully to create awareness on the need to be more involved in the electioneering process.
Weight loss prediction and wellness journey Kristen Chan
While lifestyle accounts for up to 3/4 of healthcare costs, most people do not find exercise fun. Some have tried numerous diet and exercise programs with the primary goal of weight loss, only to fail and become discouraged, resulting in worse health outcomes over time. In this paper, we explore crucial elements in consumer engagement that can lead to improved health outcomes. We deploy data mining algorithms to understand the impacts of various interventions, such as social network, visual dashboard, event processing, games and challenges, on health outcomes using data obtained from a clinical trial. We explain what worked, what did not work, and why. More importantly, we describe salient attributes of social health games that are crucial in both consumer engagement and health outcomes.

The London-based Royal Society publishing the world’s oldest scientific journal in continuous publication Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (since 1665) identified science diplomacy as still a fluid concept that can be applied to the role of science, technology and innovation in three dimensions of policy: Science in diplomacy; Diplomacy for science; Science for diplomacy. In June 2015 the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas reiterated the Royal Society’s dimensions of science diplomacy in his speech The EU approach to science diplomacy at the European Institute in Washington.

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.

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.
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
