The CF morale mail service is free but has size and weight limits, while Canada Post requires postage but allows tracking and other special services.

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
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.

Plan and prepare well. – and an important part of that plan is to have make sure your family has our number. If it is the only thing you do…make sure you have the MFRC number. We are there 24/7 – originally designed as the one stop shop for military families. One number people can remember and access as a starting point for any number of reasons – information, support, resources . So for you single members, make sure your parents have it in case they need to get information, and for you married folk, make sure it is on the fridge.
Information for parents of children, information for volunteering, information for family networks, information for support services and family care plans.
Deployments can be very isolating for those who don’t have strong support networks

Emergency Child Care
One-on-one counselling
POA normally used for financial arrangements, such as car insurance or buying or selling physical property.
Covers financial decisions only: it does not cover real estate – if you anticipate selling or buying real estate, you will require an additional form that needs to be signed.
Although it is a legal document, there is NO REQR FOR INSTITUTIONS TO ACCEPT! COORDINATE IN ADVANCE – go to each institution and ask AHEAD of TIME - Hence don’t leave the signing until the last minute. Probably don’t want to waste time litigating this.
May Not be Reqd if:
You have no assets
Have joint accounts
No real estate transactions anticipated
You have reliable access to the internet
When you’re choosing your donor, your looking for someone who can do all of these – and who you trust to do all of these.
Fiduciary duty to act in good faith & with reasonable level of care
In this case the Fiduciary is the attorney in whom the donor has placed the utmost confidence to manage and protect their money or property
Follow instructions and be diligent in completing them
Cannot delegate power – service couple - this is important when you’re choosing your attorney– if you’re part of a service couple, and your spouse may also deploy or go on TD while you’re away, they can not delegate the POA to someone else –
Must respect ownership (title) of donor’s property and money (can’t sell off stuff)
Must keep proper accounts/keep track of activities done
Donor/Attorney: safeguard the original – (you get the original – most institutions want originals)
Do not take the POA with you – it won’t help you on ship
A CAF Will is perfectly adequate for any circumstance but best suited for:
First marriage
No kids
Single members
Simple finances
******ensure will is witnessed and a Affidavit of Execution is completed****
We strongly recommend that you retain a civilian lawyer and not just rely on a CF will, if:
second or subsequent marriage
Children in or outside marriage
You want to create trust for small children
You have complicated finances
You have specifics request for division of assets
Will kits: - there are 100s of companies doing these - My recommendation is to get professional advice!
If you do a will kit, make sure you also have a CF will certificate. ******If you do ensure a Will Certificate is completed****
Double check who you have named as your beneficiary, ensure that is who you want.
SDB beneficiary does not automatically change with change in life circumstances (ie. Divorce)
SDB – goes to a named beneficiary, if no beneficiary it can go to the estate or to the widow. You can only name one beneficiary on it.
This is proof of your consent for your child to travel with a person/spouse out of the country
May need for travel to the US – out of province
Must have the original on you when you travel, keep with passports OR they will not let you out of the country.
Travel letters should be signed within the unit
Be sure to fill out your evaluation forms or online.
