This document provides a summary of a snorkeling trip in Belize. It includes photos and descriptions of various coral reef and marine life observed, such as brain coral, feather duster worms, parrot fish, nurse sharks, sea turtles, and more. The document also discusses coral bleaching and its causes, as well as the importance of coral reefs for supporting biodiversity.
The most eminent cause is the usage of biological resources such as hunting, trapping, fishing/harvesting aquatic resources, logging, and wood harvesting, etc. Other human activities related to agriculture and aquaculture, fishing (in particular trawling without Turtle Excluder Devices and use of FADs with entangling nets), urbanization, contribute significantly in this regard. Likewise, man-made pollution created by mismanagement of waste products in domestic, industrial and agricultural sectors is noteworthy.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

10. What is coral, a plant or an
animal?
A coral is made of tiny little carnivorous
(meat eating) animals called polyps.
These polyps live in colonies.
Each polyp forms a little limestone case
around it.
Coral reefs are made up of thousands of
limestone cases around it.
11. Coral Reef- The coral is made up of tiny stinging
cells. When an animal swims past this and brushes
up against it, it kills the animal.
22. Coral reefs have different shapes, this is
determined by their environment and wave action.
23. As many as 200 kinds of fish can live in a coral reef. They
range in size from 10mm to 20 meters long. Food for little
fish is supplied there which attracts larger fish.
26. So much life in the tropics depend on coral reefs.
27. It is related to the jelly fish. A coral polyp is the size
of a pearl. It is like a mouth with tentacles stuck to it.
These coral live in colonies.
33. Coral Bleaching
Is caused from the water being too warm, too
low of tide, pH changes are a few reasons.
Global Warming causes the reefs to bleach
and die out.
It results in the coral turning white and is a
sign of the coral being stressed.
This can result in the coral dying.
34. Variety of Fish
Why is coral dying important?
Nearly all life in shallow tropical beaches depend on
coral.
If the reefs die out , the fish die out.
Fish diversity dies out as well as the number of fish.
35. Here are some different kinds of fish
encountered while we were snorkeling.
36.
37. Parrot fish are one of the few fish that
eat coral. What they excrete is partly
sand.
