Many of these are included in the book Buried Dreams
The animated film shows a simplified, fictionalised, story, concentrating upon the central characters. The true history is, however, just as interesting, and thoroughly epic in nature.
In 1899 a sailing ship, the Forrest Hall, was in danger off the northern coast of Exmoor, England. It had left Bristol on the 12th of January on a journey to Liverpool where it was to be refitted.
There was only a skeleton crew including apprentices on board. A tug boat, the Jane Joliffe, was towing the ship as the worst storm of the year was beginning to batter the coast. The line from the tug snapped, causing the two vessels to collide.

Based on a trip to explore Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Steve Gillick visited castles, Omey Island (on horseback), Cnoc Suain, the Doolin Cliff Walk, Valentia Island (by car), Slea Head, Sneem and Mizen Head, before turning north to Cork and back to Shannon Airport for the flight home.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

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
2. CAHIR CASTLE
Once the stronghold of the powerful Butler family, the castle
retains its impressive keep, tower and much of its original
defensive structure. It is one of Ireland's largest and best
preserved castles. It is situated on a rocky island on the River
Suir.
5. CAHIR CASTLE
In 1375, the castle was granted to James Butler,
newly created Earl of Ormond, for his loyalty to
Edward III. His son James,the second Earl passed
the lands around the barony of Iffa and Offa West to
his children, though they were not themselves
noble.This changed by 1542 when the first of the
Barons Cahir was created. In 1599 the castle was
captured after a three-day siege by the army of the
Earl of Essex and was for a year put under the
charge of Sir Charles Blount. Lord Cahir joined with
the Earl of Tyrone in 1601 and was attainted for
treason, but later obtained a full pardon. In 1627 the
Castle was the scene of a celebrated killing when
Cahir's son-in-law, Lord Dunboyne, murdered a
distant cousin James Prendergast, in a dispute over
an inheritance.
During the Irish Confederate Wars the castle was
besieged twice.
6. CAHIR CASTLE
In 1961 the last Lord Cahir died and the
castle reverted to the Irish state.
8. BURREN PLATEAU
The Burren Plateau is an example of
karst terrain. Karst terrain is generally
formed when sedimentary rocks are
dissolved by groundwater.
9. BURREN PLATEAU
Most karst occurs in limestones or
dolostones, rocks made primarily from
the minerals calcite or dolomite.
Groundwater and surface water moves
through fractures in the rock, dissolving
it over time, forming voids and
channels.
11. BURREN PLATEAU
A very thin cloud cover is visible over
Gleninagh Mountain. Despite the barren
appearance of this portion of the Burren
Plateau, thin soils are present and the
area is used for grazing cattle during
the winter.
