Here is a bio poem about Emily Dickinson:
I am Emily Dickinson
I'm from homemade bread, fresh berries, homemade jam
I'm from my writing desk, my garden, my favorite books
I'm from the quiet streets of Amherst, spreading trees
I'm from Father, Mother, sister Lavinia, brother Austin
I'm from "Come live with me and be my love", "Because I could not stop for Death"
I wonder about nature, life after death
I hear birds singing, leaves rustling
I see flowers blooming, the changing seasons
I want to understand God, eternity
I am afraid of being forgotten
I pretend that I'm just like everyone else

Three groups of rats were studied: 1) a renal hypertension group with increased collagen (RHTR), 2) a group with decreased collagen through glutathione infusion (GSSG), and 3) untreated controls. The main findings were:
1) GSSG rats had increased active stiffness and myocyte size compared to controls, suggesting decreased collagen is related to hypertrophy and increased active stiffness.
2) Passive tension-length curves were shifted down in GSSG rats, indicating decreased passive stiffness, and up in RHTR rats, indicating increased passive stiffness.

Olympics behind the scenes
In 2010, I hit the jackpot when I got an internship to work at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work at two more Olympics in London and Sochi. These experiences forever transformed my life both personally and professionally.
Over the years, I’ve been asked, “what did you actually do during the Olympics?” People often don’t realize that the Olympics event is the Mount Everest of the events industry. The athletes get the fame and glory, but behind the scenes there is an army of professionals who make it all come together. Many have made it their career to work in the sporting events industry. I was a tiny participant in this complex ecosystem – specifically in sports marketing and hospitality.
For a local Learning Night event, I created a presentation which explained my job and shared some of my personal reflections.

Brazil has implemented social policies and programs aimed at reducing inequality and promoting social justice over the past few decades. The Gini coefficient measuring income inequality declined from 0.623 in 1976 to 0.544 in 2008, and the percentage of extremely poor people fell from 22.1% in 1990 to 6% in 2008. However, growth in per capita family income has disproportionately benefited the richest segments of the population. Brazil consolidated fragmented conditional cash transfer programs into Bolsa Familia in 2003, aiming to more effectively and efficiently direct resources to the poor and promote social inclusion. Bolsa Familia now reaches over 12 million Brazilian families.

Partnership of Equals
IN THIS SUMMARY
In Partnership of Equals, Peter McGinn discusses the various ways in which CEOs and board members can productively work together to resolve conflict and make a better, more effective healthcare organization. The CEO advises the board and has a position of influence rather than authority. There are many situations where the board has the ultimate say, but that does not mean that CEOs should hold back their opinions until they are asked. They are there for a reason, and that is to share their thoughts and experiences. The board should appreciate input from the CEO, but they should not allow the CEO to make decisions or accomplish activities that are the board’s responsibility.

České Vánoce/Czech Christmas
Czech Christmas traditions include floating small boats with candles in nutshells on water, where if two boats join it means the people will be together next year. Another tradition is slicing apples - if a star appears in the half it means good health, while a cross means sickness. On Christmas Eve Czech families decorate trees, watch TV, don't eat to try and see a legendary gold pig, and have dinner which often includes fried carp.
Adam Mickiewicz
This document provides a short biography of Adam Mickiewicz, a famous Polish poet.

Once the contact accepts, the first teacher fills out a registration form providing the project title, description, languages, ages and number of pupils involved, subject, aims, tools to be used, work process, and expected results. Both the first teacher's and second teacher's national support services must then approve the project before other partners can be added and work can begin.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
