This document provides information about farming in Europe. It explains that farming is impossible in very cold areas, so those places are covered by evergreen forests. Further south, a wide variety of crops can be grown, including wheat, potatoes, fruit and vegetables. Near the Mediterranean, farmers can grow crops that need sunshine like oranges, grapes, olives and tomatoes. Grasslands support animals like cows, sheep and goats. Pigs and chickens are also commonly farmed as they can be kept indoors. The document discusses the different farming practices used across Europe's varying climates.
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

32. Languages in europe
People in Europe speak many different languages. Most of these
languages belong to three large groups or ‘families’: Germanic, Slavic
and Romance. The languages in each group share a family likeness because they are descended from
the same ancestors. For example, Romance languages are descended from Latin – the language spoken
by the Romans.
Here’s how to say ‘Good morning’ or ‘Hello’ in just a few of these languages.
Germanic romance
Danish Godmorgen French Bonjour
Dutch Goedemorgen Italian Buongiorno
English Good morning Portuguese Bom dia
German Guten Morgen Romanian Bună dimineaţa
Swedish God morgon Spanish Buenos días
slavic
Bulgarian Dobró útro
Czech Dobré ráno
Polish Dzień dobry
Slovak Dobré ráno
Slovene Dobro jutro
It’s not hard to see the family likeness in these examples. But there are other European languages
that are less closely related, or not at all related, to one another.
Here’s how to say ‘Good morning’ or ‘Hello’ in several of these languages.
Basque Egun on Hungarian Jó reggelt
Breton Demat Irish Dia dhuit
Catalan Bon dia Latvian Labrit
Estonian Tere hommikust Lithuanian Labas rytas
Finnish Hyvää huomenta Maltese L-Għodwa t-Tajba
Gaelic (Scottish) Madainn mhath Welsh Bore da
Greek Kalimera
In the language of the Roma people, who live in many parts of Europe, ‘Good morning’ is Lasho dyes.
Learning languages can be great fun – and it’s important on a continent like ours. Many of us enjoy
going on holiday to other European countries, and getting to know the people there. That’s a great
opportunity to practise the phrases we know in different languages.
