The remains from past periods provide clues about how people lived. Archaeological sites are extremely valuable and must always be managed and protected. This presentation compares the ancient findings of Aboriginal life at Lake Mungo and findings from the Roman period with our own lives. The focus is on waste and the volume of waste each period generated to our current mountains of rubbish.

Ancient civilizations… what mysteries
do they hide? This issue opens with a
fascinating article about Nabta Playa, a
remarkable site composed of hundreds of
prehistoric tumuli, stelae, and megalithic
structures located in the Nubian Desert
(Egypt).
Following our tradition, our psychology
section brings you the most interesting
topics in the field. On this occasion,
we approach the figure of William Tuke,
the first person to view mental illness
as a disease from which a sufferer could
actually recover; this was reflected in his
treatment of patients with sympathy and
dignity rather than disgust.
Our readers know that Ispectrum Magazine
always has the privilege of interviewing
renowned scientists and researchers from
all the fields, and this time our interview
was with Mona Lisa Schultz, psychiatrist
and neuroscientist, who spoke to us
about emotions. Do they matter for our
physical health? How much? What can
we do to manage our emotions?
Controversial or not, Dan Winter always
shoots fire with his theories like this one
about the electrical origin and history of
negentropic centripetal fields in blood,
titled History and Physics of Fire in the
Blood.
What is energy? Why is our society so reliant on fossil fuel energy? How can we save energy?
Use this presentation to find out more about renewable and non-renewable energy sources and how we can take personal action to reduce our usage.
In this activity students participate in a ‘Think, See, Feel & Wonder’ exercise aimed at getting students thinking about what big differences there might be between the lifestyle of someone in a developing country and an Australian lifestyle.

Industrial Sector in Jordan– Energy Use Current Status and Future OpportunitiesSamer Zawaydeh
Industrial Sector Energy Use Current Status and Future Opportunities in Jordan. This includes Electricity Tariffs, Opportunities for Electricity Saving, Stakeholders, Barriers for improvement, type of renewable energy and energy efficiency opportunities in the industrial sector.
1. INTRODUCTION
In the future, the cost of energy will increase due to environmental problems and limited resources. The electric motor consumes major part of the electric energy in the industry. The induction motor is the main driven system in the modern industrial society. It would also reduce the production of greenhouse gases and push down the total environmental cost of electricity generation. Also these motors can reduce maintenance costs and improve operation in industry. Energy efficient motors use less electricity, run cooler, and often last longer than NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) B motors of the same size.
Motors and motor-driven systems account for 43%-46% of all global electricity consumption and 69% of all electricity used by industry. Inefficient electric motors waste electrical energy and therefore cost more to operate. Since most electricity is generated from fossil-fuelled power plants, motors and motor-driven systems are also indirect contributors to greenhouse gas emissions produced by these plants. Hence, there are compelling economic and environmental reasons to increase the use of energy efficient motors.

This presentation aims to question the Book of Genesis. It focuses in particular on Noah's Ark - primarily because Genesis gives us several specifications (size, cargo, etc.). It is therefore testable. This presentation ask a series of questions and quotes facts too. I forgot to add an important element - Dinosaurs died (extinction) before humans began!

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.
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.
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

1. Recycling Lesson:
Rubbish isn’t ancient history
Year 7
Australian Curriculum content description:
Year 7 History: The importance of conserving the remains of the ancient past, including the
heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. (ACDSEH148)
17. • Why is this site at Lake Mungo so valuable?
• What has been found out about Lake Mungo
Aboriginals?
• How has Lake Mongo changed?
• What is being done to protect the area?
• Discuss what we might still learn about the
area?
• Discuss if their rubbish had an impact on the
environment?
What have we learnt?
18. In Europe it is a lot easier to find Roman remains
compared to Aboriginal remains
19. Rome starts to be settled about 2,700 years ago which is
much later than the Aboriginal evidence at Lake Mongo.
20. By the time of Christ, Rome is a city with many large
buildings.
21. A lot of what we know about the Roman period has
been carefully dug from the ground.
28. To keep these valuable places it is essential that any
digging and removal of items is carefully controlled.
29. • How much older are the Aboriginal finds?
• How do the finds of Aboriginals compare to
those of the Romans?
• Looking at the finds, how does life compare at
Lake Mongo with Rome?
• What were Aboriginals interested in doing?
• What were Romans interested in doing?
• How much impact did the Romans have on
their environment?
What have we learnt?
30. What will we leave behind? What will people in the
future think of us?
31. We produce so much rubbish it must be collected and
carried away
32. But in this poor country a rubbish collection isn’t
provided.
36. • What do you think future archeologists will
mostly find from our time?
• How much impact on the environment will
they see?
• Make up a name they might use for our
period?
What will people in the future think?
