When we speak of the digital self, we are referring to the self as it exists in digital realms. This varies depending on the individual, since some of us prefer to live online under a pseudonymous or anonymous persona, apart from our physical selves, and others consider the digital to be a more holistic identity that goes beyond the physical.

Anatomy is the study of the structure of the different cells, tissues, organs and systems. An understanding of the anatomy of birds, and the different body systems found in the bird, is useful when an understanding of how poultry work or function, is sought. Knowledge of bird anatomy (body parts) enables the poultry industry to maximize bird performance and maintain good welfare practices.
Birds, like other animals, consist of a number of body systems which operate independently or with each other to maintain the normal activity and functioning of the animal as a whole. Each of these body systems consists of organs, which are special structures that are adapted to carry out specific activities or functions. Each organ, in turn, consists of tissues which consist of the various types of cells that ultimately provide the means for the organs and systems to carry out their activities and functions.
All animals have a skeleton to allow them to stand up and to protect their internal organs and tissues. The avian skeletal system looks similar to those of their mammalian counterparts, but there are some important differences. Many of these differences relate to the bird’s need to be light enough to fly while still maintaining the needed body support. Some important differences between the skeletons of birds and mammals are:
1. Some of vertebral sections are fused together to provide the rigidity required for flight.
2. The sternum provides a large surface area for the strong attachment of the main flight muscles.
3. The size of the head has been reduced significantly when compared to other species. A large head would make flying more difficult.
4. The tail has been reduced to a very short section of fused bones called the pygostyle (sometimes referred to as the Parson’s nose or the Pope’s nose).
5. The ribs have been modified by the inclusion of the uncinate process which refers to overlying flaps projecting off the ribs connecting ribs to the ones beside them. This gives strength to the rib cage so that it will not collapse during flight.
6. The neck is quite long in most species to enable the bird to:
• Protect the delicate tissues of the brain from too much jarring when landing; the flexibility of the neck acts as a shock absorber
• Aid in the reaching of food located on the ground; the rigid body makes this simple activity more difficult without this modification
• Aid in the adjustment of the center of gravity needed when the bird changes from the upright position of walking or perching to the more horizontal position of flight
• Allow the bird to use its beak to obtain oil from the preen gland located on its tail; the bird uses the oil to preen its feathers The bones of birds are also lighter in weight than those of their mammalian counterparts.
Identify or name the skeletal parts as marked on the image below. Use the given table.

5. Mandible (Lower Beak) 6. Vertebral Cranium
Understanding the Self. The self, in contemporary literature and even common ...JhapzyDinagatPerez
Across time and history, the self has been debated, discussed, and fruitfully or otherwise conceptualized by different thinkers in philosophy. Eventually, with the advent of the social sciences, it became possible for new ways and paradigms to reexamine the true nature of the self. People put a halt on speculative debates on the relationship between the body and soul, eventually renamed body and the mind.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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. INTRODUCTION
Cultures and cultural practices
have great effects on peoples’ ways
of life and changes as well.
Different cultures with varying
environments tend to create
different perceptions of the self .
One of the most common distinction
between cultures of people are the
cultures of the Eastern versus the
Western. Eastern represents Asia
and western represents Europe and
Northern America.
3. This distinction and countries included was
politically highlighted at the time that
perceptions of the self were applied and
accepted in the social sciences. While there
are countries who are geographically close
to each other may share commonalities,
there are also a lot of factors that create
differences.
Since most of the theories about the self
come from western research, it is also
noteworthy highlighting the highlighting the
eastern thoughts that have influenced our
definition and understanding of the self.
4. Confucianism Philosophy
-It is a code of ethical conduct on
how should one harmoniously act
according to his relationship with
other people. The identity and self
concept of each individual are
interwoven with the identity and self
concept of the individuals and status
of his/her community or culture
sharing its pride as well as its failure
(Ho, 1995)
5. In the Confucianism philosophy, self
cultivation is seen as the ultimate purpose
of life but the characteristics of a chun-tzu
, a man of virtue or noble character is still
embedded in his social relationship (Ho,
1995). The cultivated self in Confucianism
is what some scholars call the “subdued
self” wherein personal needs are
repressed (subdued) for the good of many
making Confucian society also hierarchal
of the purpose of maintaining order and
balance in society (Ho, 1995)
6. Taoism Philosophy
Taoism is living the in the way of the
Tao, or the universe. However Taoism
rejects having one definition of what Tao is
and one can only state clues of what it is
as they adopt the free- flowing, relative,
unitary as well as the paradoxical view of
almost everything. Taoism rejects the
hierarchy and strictness brought by
Confucianism and would prefer a simple
lifestyle and its teachings thus aim to
describe how to attain that life (Ho 1995).
7. In Taoism, the self is not just an extension of
the family or the community; it is part of a
universe, one of the forms and manifestations
of the Tao. The ideal self is selflessness but
this is not forgetting about the self , it is living
a balanced life with society and nature , being
open and accepting to change , forgetting
about prejudices and egocentric ideas and
thinking about equality as well as other beings
(Ho 1995). In this way one is able to act
spontaneously because he will not be
restricted by some legalistic standards but
because he is in harmony with everything.
8. Buddhism Philosophy
There are various groups adopting
Buddhism philosophy, thus there might be little
differences in teachings but more likely their
core concepts are alike . The self is seen as
illusion, born out of ignorance, of trying to hold
and control things, or human centered needs,
thus the self is also the source of all these
sufferings. It is therefore the quest to forget the
self, the cravings of the self, the attachment with
the world, and to renounce self which is the
cause of all sufferings and in so doing attain
Nirvana (Ho 1995). Nirvana means perfect
happiness.
9. Eastern Thoughts
In the eastern thoughts the self is not the
focus. Confucianism and Taoism still situate the
self within a bigger context. In striving to become
a better person , one does not create a self
above other people or nature but a self that is
beneficial to the community as well as to be in
harmony with anything else. For Buddhism the
self with all its connections and selfish ideas is
taken not just out of the center of the picture but
out of the entire picture.
10. Western Thoughts
Western perspectives does not discount
the role of environment and society in the
formation of the self but the focus is always
looking toward the self. For a western
influenced thought, one has has to compare
himself in order to be better, create associations
and bask in the glory of that group for self –
esteem, in other words putting primacy to the
realization of supremacy of the self.
11. Illustrative Comparison of Eastern and Western
Thoughts
Eastern Thoughts Western Thoughts
Selflessness by living in harmonious life
with nature and society
Looks at the world in dualities but focus most
on the self
Non prejudice and egocentric Conscious of social roles that invoked traits
positive for the self
Keeps low profile, considers boasting
oneself disrupts social relations
Highlights personal achievements
Collective culture, social relations
given more importance
Individualistic culture, individual needs a
focus
Loyal to the community. Looks after the
welfare of the group, values
cooperation, group oriented
Loose association or loyalty to the group. The
group is instrumental to the individualistic
pursuits
Puts hierarchy of culture to keep things
in harmony and order
Competition is the real name of the game .
Promote fair competition protecting the self or
individual.
Have respectful terms for seniors and
workers would not dare go against the
high ranking officials
Call their bosses and parents or other
seniors by name . Bosses, parents can be
approached head on when conflicts arise
