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.

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.
2. Introduction
THE GOOD OLE PAWN SHOP
Pawnshops have become great places to sell
items for quick cash or to buy items at a bargain
price. Pawnshops are a staple of American
culture and for that matter, the culture of the
world. From northwest America to southeast
China, the now famous pawnbroker’s symbol
(three spheres hanging from a bar) can be seen
displayed prominently in front of shops that
advertise deals on jewelry, electronics, tools and
more.
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
Nowadays, most people give little thought to the
history of pawn shops. It’s almost as if we all woke
up one day and noticed a pawnshop around the
corner and no one cared to ask where it came
from or why it was there. Most of us have just
continued to enjoy its convenience and
affordability. In this presentation, we’ll take a look
at the history of pawn broking and try to answer
the aforementioned questions above.
3. HELLO!
I am Lee Benhayon
I will be your presenter for today.
You can find me at info@chapesjpl.com
4. Where it all started
Let’s start with the inventors.
5. ✘ Pawn broking as we know
it today was started in the
unlikeliest of places,
Buddhist monasteries.
✘ Over 3000 years ago,
Buddhist monks
introduced pawn broking in
ancient China as a means
to aid peasants financially.
The inventors of pawn broking
✘ The monks would grant
loans to peasants on the
condition that they would
trade something of value,
since it was forbidden to
charge interest on money,
a concept known at the
time as usury.
6. The spread of pawn shops in China
✘As the popularity of pawn shops grew within
impoverished communities, new lenders arose to meet
the demand. Buddhist monasteries began partnering
with wealthy layman to expand the practice throughout
China.
9. Pawn shops in Greece and Rome
✘ Eventually, pawn shops
began spawning
throughout Greece and
Rome as the business
model gained traction.
✘ However, the limitations of
usury were now removed.
Pawn broking became so
lucrative that regulation
became a necessity.
✘ Under Roman law, certain
items such as clothing,
tillage equipment and
furniture could not be
pledged as collateral.
✘ Later on, the Catholic
Church reimposed
restrictions on the amount
of interest that could be
charged on a loan.
11. The evolution of the pawn shop
✘ During medieval Europe,
the pledge system was
adopted with its laws and
principles intact. Initially,
pawn brokers abided by
these laws and operated
purely off goodwill.
✘ Soon, the expenses of
running a pawn shop
began to be a burden.
✘ It was no longer feasible to
help the poor without
hurting one’s own financial
stability.
✘ The Catholic Church was
therefore forced to allow
pawnbrokers to charge
interest on loans to cover
their expenses.
13. The controversy of charging interest
✘ The actions of the Catholic
Church caused a great
uproar within the
community as charging
interest was practically
viewed as a sin.
✘ The pope at the time, Pope
Leo X, quelled such
debates as he announced
that pawnshops were to be
considered a lawful and
valuable institution to the
community. He forbade
anyone to differ with the
threat of
excommunication.
15. Unwarranted Stigma
✘ The controversy of
charging interest is
precisely where pawn
broking took on a negative
connotation. Although
monarchs like King Edward
III and Queen Isabella
utilized the services of
pawnbrokers, most of the
common people still
viewed them as usurers.
16. Pawn broking today
✘ In modern times, pawn
broking has lost some of
the negative stigma it has
acquired throughout
history. In the United
States, pawn shops have to
abide by strict regulations
on interest rates and
business practices.
✘ They’ve become the go-to
source for millions of
people who are strapped
for cash and for those who
are looking to score a nice
bargain. Pawnbrokers have
and will continue to
flourish around the world
as one of the oldest known
professions that have
withstood the test of time.
