The document discusses a community action project to address the problem of pet overpopulation through low-cost spay and neuter programs. It describes the student identifying pet overpopulation as a problem, researching the issue through various means, determining the need for low-cost options, identifying solutions such as education and organizing a mobile spay/neuter clinic, completing the action of organizing and fundraising for the clinic, evaluating the successful clinic that served 26 cats, and setting a long-term goal of annual clinics in the community.

As an assignment for Com351, Interviewing, I interviewed Brenda Barnette, CEO of the Seattle Humane Society. These are my findings. On a side note, there is audio from the interview that goes along with some of the slides, but I'll have to figure out how to make that work later.

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.

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
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.

Spaying and neutering your pets
1. Reducing the Overpopulation of Cats and Dogs:
Low Cost Spay and Neuter
Programs and Awareness
A Community Action Project
by Serena Bruce, Senior
Lisbon Regional School
2. The Community Action Project Process: 8
Steps
IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
CONDUCT THE RESEARCH
EVALUATE FINDINGS
IDENTIFY THE NEED
IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS
COMPLETE THE ACTION
EVALUATE THE ACTION OUTCOME
SET THE LONG TERM GOAL
3. 1. Identify the Problem
Overpopulation of Cats and Dogs
Clermont County
Humane Society,
Batava, Ohio:
Discarded like trash,
4,000 cats and dogs
are euthanized yearly.
4. 2. Research Consisted of:
Reading articles and materials about pet
overpopulation: causes, effects, and prevention
Locating spay and neuter resources and programs
outside of New Hampshire
Interview w/ veterinarian and vet tech, while
observing live spay and neuter surgeries
Locating local area and New Hampshire based spay
and neuter programs and resources
Volunteering for and observing 2 feline spay and
neuter clinics
5. 3. Research Findings
The overpopulation of cats and dogs leads to
homeless, abandoned, and euthanized animals.
6 -8 million homeless animals entering shelters per year.
3-4 million of them are euthanized
6 million more homeless and die from: hit by cars, cruelty, preyed on
by other animals, weather, disease, injury, and starvation.
(The Humane Society)

6. Research Findings Continued…
What Is Spay and Neuter?
Spay and neuter: surgical procedure where an
animal’s reproductive organs are removed to prevent
reproduction.
Spay: removal of a female animal’s fallopian tubes,
uterus, and ovaries (ovariohysterectomy).
Neutering or Altering: removal of a male’s testicles.
7. Research Findings Continued…
Spay and Neuter Prevent:
Diseases:
Females: uterine, breast, and
ovarian cancer, and pyometra
Males: testicular cancer, FIV (google images)
(feline immunodeficiency virus),
FeLV (feline leukemia), enlarged
prostate, cysts, and prostate infections.
8. Female Cat Male Testicle Organs
Reproductive Organs
Cape Ann Vet
Clinic Observation
7/12
9. Research Findings Continued…
Behavioral Issues Resolved, Improved, or
Prevented through Spay and Neuter
Cats will…
-release strong smelling urine or release anal glands
-hump people’s legs, stuffed toys, etc.
-become aggressive
-females will go into heat and can roam
-males will roam: hit by cars, get lost, and fight
-both are more susceptible to disease and illness through
other animal bites (FeLV, rabies, distemper)
(google images)
10. 4. Identify the Need
Low income communities
-Average household income (combined income of all household members 15
and older) for Lisbon and surrounding communities:
$49,000 (United States Census Bureau , 2010)
-Residents, and their pets, can benefit from low-cost spay/neuter clinics
Expensive at the local veterinarian clinics and hospitals
-Average spay/neuter costs:
Canine (based on weight) $150.00-$300.00
Feline $100.00-$175.00
plus required exam fee (35-45), blood work (60+), and vaccines (20+ ea.)
-Cost deters and prevents pet owners from having their pets spayed and/or neutered
-Vet clinics are for profit and spay/neuter clinics are not for profit
-Vet clinics contribute to existing problems associated with homelessness due to high
(some clinics do work with local area shelters by donating some services and give
discounts)
-Thousands of dogs and cats still waiting in NH shelters in need of homes
11. 5. Indentify Solutions
Inform the public about the problem of pet
overpopulation
Educate the public about the importance of spay
and neuter and its benefits
Give the public opportunity to afford to have their
pet spayed or neutered
Help prevent and reduce the overpopulation of
cats and dogs through low-cost spay and neuter
programs
16. The Rozzie May
Animal Alliance is
out of Conway, NH.
They have a mobile
feline unit that travels
to low income areas. I
organized for the
mobile clinic to come
to Lisbon.
17. Organizing Clinic
Find place to host the spay and neuter clinic
Contacted Bette Liveston to ask for permission
Wrote letter to CEO
18. Next…
Contacted Rozzie May to set up a date
Planned date was December 20th, 2012
Fix-it wagon ( a 42 foot trailer) to spay and neuter the
cats in.
Set co-pay: agreed co-pay would only be $15.00
19. Next…
Developed informational flyers and
registration forms
Distributed information
Throughout project, consistently and
constantly in contact with Bette and Rozz.
20. Getting the word out…
Flyers
Brochure
Newspaper Advertising
Networking
24. Prepared for Clinic and Pre-
registered Clients and pets
Wrote down the owner’s information
Wrote down the cats information
Doing rabies or not.
Bring rabies certificate if already had rabies
vaccine
Told them what was included
Had to call everyone back the night before for
a reminder.
26. •People arrived between
7:45 and 8:30 a.m.
•Had 26 cats show up.
• Had to register people
with the papers that
Rozz had.
•It was kind of hectic
and stressful trying to
register everyone.
37. •Took two hours
for recovery.
• Last cat left
around 5:00
• I stayed there
until the last cat
was picked up.
•Clinic was a
success!
38. 7. Results and Evaluation
of the Action
• 26 cats registered for the clinic
•Most patients had severe cases of ear mites
•Most patients had fleas
•No surgical problems during or after the clinic
•No recovery issues at home
• Received very positive feedback from people
•Received requests for another clinic
39. 8. Long Term Goal
Organization and implementation of a
spay and neuter clinic once a year at
various locations and communities in and
around Lisbon.
41. Each day, thousands of animals are
euthanized. Thousands more are left on the
street to die of starvation, be hit by
cars, suffer alone from abuse or the cold.

42. These animals are left without
homes, compassion, warmth, understanding,
and love. They don’t know what it’s like to
have a loving family. These animals don’t
deserve this kind of neglect.
