1. Framing refers to how issues are presented in the media and how this influences public opinion, as the unconscious mind makes most decisions.
2. Different frames like "strict father" versus "nurturing parent" activate different unconscious thought patterns that can support conservative or progressive policies.
3. Effective messaging on issues like climate change requires awareness of framing and using language and examples that resonate with target audiences. Localizing the issue and emphasizing community impacts can increase concern.
I have an interest in the world of insurance, which is a far more comprehensive and intricate industry than suggested by domestic insurers’ multi-policy discounts and the like.
In fact, commerce and industry in general would not operate without the insurance mechanism to support it.
Risk management is a related discipline, consisting of insurance (within its "risk transfer" component) and many other elements.
I also have a keen interest in climate change, and have felt for some time that its near-term and longer-term impacts are not fully appreciated by various major participants in the insurance industry. For that reason, I have developed this presentation, which I will soon expand into a more comprehensive discussion paper:

Collapse Scenarios, drawn from the Futures special issue on extinction scenar...Wendy Schultz
A prospective client asked for a presentation on societal collapse, with roughly a 400-year time horizon. As I had heard that Prof. Bruce Tonn was editing a special issue of Futures on extinction scenarios, I requested access to the essays ahead of publication. He kindly assented, and I drew on several of the essays to create this slidedeck of "collapse" scenarios (I wasn't asked to take the stories to complete extinction). Some of the stories I wanted to tell were not well-represented in the essays of the special edition, and so I drew on other resources as well. Finally, I chose to interpret "collapse" as "the end of the world as we know it," and thus also included a post-Singularity, nanotech, "mutable world" scenario. Please feel free to contact me (wendy@infinitefutures.com) if you have any questions.
What if, in the future…
• “We”go on to live for a long time, and become our own future? There are no children?
• We forget what a “child”is?
• Children are no longer ‘born’ but manufactured? A child becomes a technological marvel?
• All the beauty inside (and outside) can be fabricated, can be artificially modified,and can be quantified?
Our latest report explores the future of children. We look forward to hear your comments, views and opinions.

UMUC CAPL 398A – Skills and Self-Assessment
In addition to an assessment of your values and career interests, a thorough skills analysis is a critical component of the
career-planning process. Skills are the currency used by job seekers. In the job market you receive pay in exchange for the
value of your knowledge and skills combined. Skills may be divided into three types:
1. Content or Knowledge specific to a field
2. Functional skills that may be applied in various fields
3. Self-management or behavioral traits
Employers value content skills, but they tend to favor candidates with strong functional and self-management skills.
Employers report that when hiring someone, 30% of the decision is based on an applicant’s content knowledge and
70% of the decision is based on an applicant’s functional and self-management skills.
Content Skills --- What you KNOW, CAN DEMONSTRATE, and CAN TEACH OTHERS. You usually acquire them
through education and work experience. Examples of content skills include:
Creating and updating a spreadsheet.
Writing a technical report in a particular subject.
Designing a Web page or software program.
Delivering a presentation on a topic.
Performing a budget analysis.
Functional Skills --- are skills that expedite tasks in any job situation. Examples of functional skills include:
Communicating to develop a team.
Teaching a class.
Analyzing information.
Sorting and/or collating documents.
Repairing electronic devices and/or troubleshooting software.
Self-management Skills or behavioral traits --- are command words that describe your strongest personality traits and
characteristics. Examples of self-management skills are:
Being organized in your work process
Patience with team members, when under time pressure
Thinking analytically, problem-solving
Customer-focused prioritization
Sense of humor
Every year, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) surveys large numbers of hiring managers from
across the country on what skills they plan to prioritize when recruiting new college graduates. In 2015, NACE listed 10
skills (ranked in order of importance) that employers said they would be looking for when hiring. Consider which of
these skills you have and how you might work these skills into your resume.
1. Ability to work in a team structure.
2. Ability to make decisions, Ability to solve problems (tie).
3. Ability to communicate verbally with people inside and outside an organization.
4. Ability to plan, organize and prioritize work.
5. Ability to obtain and process information.
6. Ability to analyze quantitative data.
7. Technical knowledge related to the job.
8. Proficiency with computer software programs.
9. Ability to create and/or edit written reports.
10. Ability to sell and influence others.

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

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.

Understanding Framing
1. Dr. LaRae M. Donnellan, APR, CPRC Professor & PR Sequence Coordinator School of Journalism & Graphic Communication Florida A&M University (February 2011) Understanding Framing
2. What is Framing? The media not only tell us WHAT to think about but also HOW to think about it.
3. Science of the Mind 98% of our thinking is unconscious Unconscious thought = reflexive (automatic, uncontrolled) Consciousthought = reflective(on purpose) Therefore, your brain makes decisions for you that you are not consciously aware of. (http://www.wellsphere.com/wellpage/causes-of-yawning)
4. So What? Not aware of unethical appeals to our subconscious Moral & political thought not arbitrary Unconscious connects us to each other & to the physical world Lakoff: Democracy in mortal danger (http://etori.tripod.com/dajjalsystem/dnn.html)
5. 18th Century View of Reason Reason is conscious, universal, unemotional, value-neutral, interest-based. Appeal to reason; facts are enough. Then people will act politically to maximize their self-interests. Adam Smith (http://www.newstatesman.com/ideas/2010/04/smith-market-essay-sentiments)
6. Are Facts Enough? 47 million people are without health care. Top 1% receive tax breaks. There were no WMD in Iraq. The ice caps are melting. (http://ocw.nd.edu/center-for-social-concerns/changing-the-face-of-american-healthcare/images/no-health-care/view)
7. New Enlightenment Ideas Don’t abandon reason. But understand we’re using “real reason” – (unconscious; incorporates emotion; structured by frames, metaphors, images & symbols). Language has power. (http://minoritymilitant.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html)
8. Power of Storytelling “Essence of human thought & communication” “Provides context, a framework within which all the fragments have meaning” Notion of “mother” requires “child” Notion of “earth” replies “sky” “I went to the mall and …” (James Hoggan, “Do the Right Thing”) (http://futuresound.tv/en/style-news?start=2820)
9. ClotaireRapaille’s “Word Codes” “Everything has ‘code’ embedded in the brain.” “If you crack the code, you are one giant step closer to connecting with your customers.” Archetype = story template Three brains Reptilian: instinct, survival (most powerful) Limbic: emotions (early years) Cortex: logic (age 7) Code for Hummers? Custom Pink Hummer H2 - Fun-Time Barbie (James Hoggan, “Do the Right Thing”) (http://www.truckinweb.com/brandpages/hummer/0508tr_custom_pink_hummer_h2/photo_03.html)
10. Echo Chamber “If we hear the same language over and over, we will think more and more in terms of the frames and metaphors activated by that language. And it doesn’t matter if you are negating words or questioning them; the same frames and metaphorswill be activated and hence strengthened.” (George Lakoff, “The Political Mind”)
11. “Nation as Family” Frame Sending our sons & daughters to war Founding Fathers Uncle Sam Daughters of the American Revolution (http://spicyipindia.blogspot.com/2010/12/uncle-sams-missive-to-mother-india-fair.html)
12. “Strict Father” Frame Assumes world is dangerous & difficult. Need strict father to protect us, teach us right from wrong by punishment. Hierarchy: God above man, man above nature, adults above children, America above other countries, and Western culture above non-Western culture. Morality & power go together. Natural resources = for human use. Facts about species destruction won’t overwhelm the frame. (http://blog.oregonlive.com/themombeat/2009/02/are_you_a_strict_parent.html)
13. “Nurturing Parent” Frame Assume world can be made better. Both parents nurture children through empathy & responsibility. Parents protect children, who are born good & can be better. Cooperation, two-way communication, fulfillment, happiness, fairness valued. Results in consumer protection, worker protection, environmental protection (http://www.onlib.org/web/kids_teens/kids/events/ecrr/central_read.htm)
14. Framing: Owls vs. People Strict father frame: Owls are cute, but jobs for people are more important. Nurturing parent frame: All species are sacred. “It would be immoral to destroy anything this remarkable and glorious." NOT just science/facts/economics. We must protect the sacred forests. (http://www.shawcreekbirdsupply.com/barn_owl_info.htm)
15. Framing: Bush Administration Frank Luntz says conservatives are losing the battle over global warming science. Use terms environmentalists like, such as “healthy,” “clean,” “safe.” George Lakoff says conservatives “use Orwellian language when their positions are weak.” Anti-environmental legislation: “Healthy Forests” (“No Tree Left Behind”) “Clear Skies” (Reduces caps on toxins) (http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/tsk-tsk-frank-luntz-says-using-poll-d)
16. 2010 EPA Air Quality Rules Environmental Protection Agency “... nation’s most important air quality standards are clearly grounded in science, protect public health with an adequate margin of safety and protect the environment." American Petroleum Institute “... unnecessary energy cost increases, job losses and less domestic oil and natural gas development and energy security.” mm (http://beautiful-views.com/air-polltion.html)
17. Framing: “Global Warming” “Warming” is nice “Climate change” = attempt to be scientific & neutral “Climate crisis” = more effective Other options: “Climate collapse” “Carbon dioxide strangulation” “Suffocation of the earth” Hard to change common vocabulary once it’s in place. (http://healthtrain.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html)
18. Framing: Sierra Club Campaign "End Commercial Logging" campaign in the Arctic Refuge Arguing “against” something is a disaster. (Don’t think of an elephant.) Logging = masculine; assumption logs are going into your home, not overseas. Morphed into "Forest Protection and Restoration" campaign (http://agreenliving.org/tag/province/)
19. Framing: “Chicken Little” Environmental group messages “The sky is falling!” “It’s your fault!” “You must lower your standard of living!” This type of message attracts only true believers. (Susan Nall Bales, FrameWorks Institute) (http://www.salem-news.com/articles/february052009/leveque_phelps_2-5-09.php)
20. Framing: “The Little Engine That Could” Messages “Good old American technology can solve environmental problems.” “Citizens can hold government and business accountable if they have the political will to do so.” More acceptable to more people (Susan Nall Bales, FrameWorks Institute) (http://irenekimmakeup.blogspot.com/2011/01/beauty-resolutions-for-2011.html)
21. Survey Says … Climate change a “very serious threat” for: Plants & animals: 52% People in other countries: 40% People elsewhere in U.S.: 30% You & your family: 19% Your community: 18% (Leiserowitz, July 2007 study of U.S. residents) (http://drgreensblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/global-warming.html)
22. Solution: Localize Frame climate change with local examples Droughts in the Southwest U.S. (not Africa) Effect of sea level rise on New York subways (notBangladesh) Be careful Climate change is increasing the odds of an extreme weather event. Climate scientists may not yet want to say that climate change is causing such events. (http://abcnews.go.com/US/popup?id=7540570)
23. Now vs. Future Frame NOW: Immediate threats seen as more relevant & of greater urgency. People discount environmental & financial consequences of climate change with each year the consequences are delayed. FUTURE: “Climate change is a threat to our children’s future.” “Climate change will cost us big money in the future.” (http://nottscience.wordpress.com/2010/05/30/human-factors-in-rail-and-road/)
24. Gain vs. Loss Frame People tend to avoid losses rather than seek gains. Lose $100 vs. win $100 Combine “gain vs. loss” frame with “now vs. future” frame. Energy-saving appliances = Help homeowners avoid losing money on higher energy bills in the future instead of helping them save money in the future. Focus on losing less now instead of losing more in the future. (http://www.crunchgear.com/tag/prius/)
25. National Security Frame 2007: UN Security Council put climate change on agenda Catalyst for conflicts around the world Threats Reduction of global food supplies Large migrations of people Increased risks of infectious disease Increased fighting over water & land (http://jerrygarrett.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/ethanol-fans-ready-for-another-food-fight/)
26. Encourage Group Participation Solicit participation by all stakeholders. Use group discussion to generate solutions. If people feel they are part of the decision-making process, they are more likely to support outcome. Use clear, easy-to-understand information. (http://www.equip123.net/webarticles/anmviewer.asp?a=612)
27. Optimize the Default Option Human tendency to stick with option that is automatically selected rather than choosing an alternative. Rutgers University Made double-sided printing the default in all campus computer labs. Saved about 7.4 million sheets of paper in first semester. Saved about 620 trees/semester; 1,280 trees/academic year. Option to conserve is now easier. (http://library.tauranga.govt.nz/what-can-i-find/ information-services/tabid/147/qid/1322/ tctl/697_ViewQuestion/Default.aspx) (Columbia University Center for Research on Environmental Decisions)
