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

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.

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.
2. CAST AND CREW
• Jack: The main character of my film is called Jack. He is a someone who is small and
wears Indie clothing with a skater flare, such as boots, jeans and over coats. The actor I
have picked for this part is my friend Jack White, who the character is based off. Jack is
18 years old, has white blond hair and the reason I have picked Jack for the part is,
because I have known him for a long time and his mannerisms and acting ability make
him the perfect candidate for the part of Jack. Jack White does not live very far from
me and has agreed to be part of my film.
• Melissa: Melissa is my mother in real life and is aged 53. The reason I have chosen
my mother as the part of the women from the woods is because I want the woman to
be creepy, but also look like an everyday normal woman. My mother used to be an
amateur actor when growing up and went to theatre school, so she is a very capable
actor. I have also chosen my mother for this part as she is readily available and had
also agreed to be in this film.
3. THE REST OF THE CAST
• James: James Morris is another one of my good friends, who is also playing a character based on him, this
has been done as James is not the best actor but will be able to play himself very well. James does live very
far away, but I have been able to arrange for him to get a lift down with my other good friend Will Wallace
and I will pay for the petrol.
• Jacob: Jacob Grevatt will be playing the parts of Jacob, who is mainly a supporting character and does not have a
lot to say in this movie. He lives very close to me so travel money will not be an issue
• Will: Will Wallace will be playing the part of Will who is also a supporting character; this part does not entail a lot
of acting. Will does live far way but can drive and has agreed to drive down and bring James with him as I will be
paying for his petrol
• Ben: Ben Cook will be playing the part of Ben in the film and the character Is based again on him which makes the
acting a lot easier for him. ben also lives close to me and has agreed to do this film.

10. LAUNCH DATE, KEY SCENE MATERIALS
AND LOGO AND MARKETING
• LAUNCH DATE: I will be launching my film around Halloween time, as the film is part of the horror/
thriller genre. The date of the films release would be two weeks before Halloween, on Saturday 17th
October 2020. This would be a great time as the shops and tv advertising will all switched to Halloween
and scary themes and the horror genre is more likely to be seen in cinemas.
• KEY SCENE MATERIALS: My key scene is at the start of the film where we see the main characters
walking down a restricted road, I will have to get permission of the owner of the residency to film there.
The main characters will be drinking alcohol and walking and laughing. As all the characters are over
18, I do not have to worry about them consuming alcohol, but I will not be using real alcohol, but will
refill the bottles with a liquid that looks like alcohol. I will be using my DRLS camera on a steady cam
mount harness to get a steady shot of the main characters walking down the road. This is where they
then turn off into the forest. I will be setting up the tripod on the corner of the turn to film them going
into the forest.
• LOGO AND MARKETING: I have created the logo which will go on all production material, at the
beginning and end of the film and on all communication materials such as emails, posters and social
media. My company is called, outlaw films and the logo is.
