This document discusses different types of symbiotic relationships in marine ecosystems:
- Competition: Sea sponges use chemical warfare to compete for space, with toxic varieties often outcompeting non-toxic ones.
- Predation: Tiger sharks prey on green sea turtles, using their senses and teeth to overcome the turtles' thick shells.
- Parasitism: Fish doctor isopods attach to fish, sucking their blood until the fish dies.
- Mutualism: Zooxanthellae algae live in coral tissues and provide nutrients to the coral in exchange for waste, essential to coral survival.
- Commensalism: Imperial shrimp ride on sea cucumbers for transportation

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
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

1. Competition
Sea sponges and other sessile organisms
compete fiercely with each other for space
using physical and chemical warfare. sponges
that evolved anti-sponge toxins, were often
victorious over non-toxic varieties. Thus, most
sponges living today produce potent toxins,
which provide a secondary benefit of
discouraging all but the most highly adapted
predators, such as the sea slugs.
2. Predation
A predator- prey example in a coral
reef is the one with the tiger shark and
Green Sea Turtle. The tiger sharks
detect prey using their finely tuned
senses. Also, rows of razor-sharp teeth
and powerful jaws allow them to crack
the thick caparace (shell) of the prey,
the sea turtles. The sea turtle uses its
shell for defense against predators.
But some, like the Tiger shark, are
powerful enough to kill the turtle.
3. Parasitic
• An example of this
symbiotic relationship
Isopod is the Fish Doctor and
attached to fish. The Fish Doctor,
fish.
a type of isopod
crustacean, will attach
itself under the fins,
scales, or gills of a
fish. It then sucks the
blood of the host fish
until it dies.
4. Mutualism
This relationship exists between
Hermatypic corals and zooxanthellae or
coral polyps. The zooxanthellae live inside
the Hermatypic corals tissue. They
consume the waste products of the coral
and turn the waste into substances
usable by the coral for growth and
maintenance. It is certain death for the
coral if there is an absence of the
zooxanthellae for too long.
5. Commensalism
• A good example of commensalism is
between the Imperial Shrimp and large
sea cucumbers. The Imperial Shrimp
will ride on the sea cucumbers,
receiving transportation. The sea
cucumber helps as a transporter to
food sources. The imperial shrimp is
able to ride on the sea cucumber,
getting exposed to larger areas with
more potential food sources while
using less energy.
