The document discusses soil data from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It provides information on existing soil data initiatives and databases in LAC countries containing thousands of soil profiles. These include databases from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay totaling over 44,000 soil observations. It also discusses the Global Soil Partnership's data policy and principles for sharing soil data.
Presented by Melanie Bacou, IFPRI and Todd Slind, Spatial Development International at the Africa RISING–CSISA Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Meeting, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 11-13 November 2013
This presentation explains how us, at UNEP-MAP, deal with data: contextualizing the adopted data policy (http://193.206.192.248/en/communication/event/second-info-rac-national-focal-point-meeting/wg512_2_eng-3.pdf), identifying crucial points and possible barriers to data opening in the Mediterranean basin.
Data accessibility and the role of informatics in predicting the biosphereAlex Hardisty
The variety, distinctiveness and complexity of life – biodiversity in other words and by implication the ecosystems in which it is situated – is our life support system. It is absolutely essential and more important than almost everything else but it is typically taken for granted. Today’s big societal challenges – food and water security, coping with environmental change and aspects of human health – are beyond the abilities of any one individual or research group to solve. Solving them depends not only on collaboration to deliver the appropriate scientific evidence but increasingly on vast amounts of data from multiple sources (environmental, taxonomic, genomic and ecological) gathered by manual observation and automated sensors, digitisation, remote sensing, and genetic sequencing. In April 2012 we called the biodiversity and ecosystems research communities to arms to formulate a consensus view on establishing an infrastructure to improve the accessibility of the ever-increasing volumes of biological data. We published the whitepaper: “A decadal view of biodiversity informatics: challenges and priorities” that has since been viewed more than 24,000 times. We envisage a shared and maintained multi-purpose network of computationally-based processing services sitting on top of an open data domain. By open data domain we mean data that is accessible i.e., published, registered and linked. BioVeL, pro-iBiosphere, ViBRANT and other FP7 funded projects have all explored aspects of this vision.

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
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

8. Country Soil Information Survey - CountrySIS
Assess soil databases and information systems
currently existing on the national level, in order to
plan global activities according to the capacities and
needs of the countries.
Starts from soil property database. If the database is
a part of a soil information system (SIS), it continues
to describe the SIS (if not, the SIS section can be
skipped). The last section is dedicated to the soil
monitoring system (if it is present).

profiles and 8106 top soil samples
BRA - Free Brazilian Repository for Open Soil Data / Universidade Federal de

countries, like Paraguay, to rescue
legacy soil data.
This information was spread in
different soil centers and on paper
support.
11. Chilean SOC dataset
In an unprecedented national effort, between May and July 2018 a group of
47 professionals from 31 public and private institutions joint together to build
the largest to date SOC dataset of Chile.
This dataset contains almost 3000 soil observations. Currently, available
information ranges between 57 and 400 soil observations.
