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

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

2. THE ATMOSPHERE The Earth's atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It is composed of 99% nitrogen and oxygen, and 1% of other gases. It is divided into layers as you can see in the picture. layer=capa surrounds=rodea
3. 1. Troposphere .(0-10 km). The troposphere is the lowest region in the Earth's atmosphere. The weather and clouds occur in the troposphere. The temperature decreases as altitude increases. 2. Stratosphere. (10-50km) The earth's ozone layer is located in the stratosphere. This layer absorbs a lot of ultraviolet rays which are dangerous for human beings. Because of that temperature increases at this layer THE LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE located=situado / absorb=absorber / ray=rayo / increase=aumentar / decrease=disminuir / layer=capa
4. 3. Mesosphere . (50-80 km). Temperatures quickly decrease as height increases (about –90ºC). 4. Thermosphere : (80-500km). Temperatures rise again and it can exceed 1,000ºC 5. Exosphere. (500-1,280km). It is the last layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It separates the Earth from the outer space THE LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE II outer space=espacio exterior include=incluir / rise (increase)=subir exceed=exceder / height=altura
5.
6. WHAT FACTORS AFFECT CLIMATE? There are 4 factors which affect temperature . These are summarised below: 1. Latitude Temperatures decrease as you move away from the equator. This is because the Sun’s rays are dispersed over a larger area of land than in the equator. In addition, polar regions are colder because the Sun’s rays have further to travel than on the equator. Sun rays go directly over the Equator areas, temperatures are higher there. move away=alejarse de / dispersed=extendidos / in addition=además / have further to travel=tienen que viajar más angle=ángulo /incoming=entrante / overhead=de pleno
7. 3. Altitude Temperatures decrease with height. The air is less dense and cannot hold heat as easily. Temperatures rise 6ºC every 1,000 m high. 2. Water Currents Another important factor is the circulation of water and air. Warm air and water are transported up towards the poles, while cool air and water are transported down towards the equator. up/down towards=hacia arriba / abajo / cool=frío / while=mientras height=altura dense=denso hold=mantener heat=calor rise=subir
8. 4. Distance from the sea Land heats and cools faster than the sea. Coastal areas have a lower temperature than inland areas. On the coast winters are mild and summers are cool. In inland areas temperatures are high in the summer and cold in the winter. What is the Greenhouse Effect? The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere like water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane trap energy from the sun. heat=calentarse / cool=enfriarse / inland=de interior / mild=suaves / cool=frescos / rise=subida experience=experimentar / trap=capturar
9. WORLD CLIMATE ZONES According to latitude, the temperature of the air changes and we have different climate zones on earth: polar , temperate and tropical . POLAR. Average temperature 0º C all year. Lat (60º-90º N or S) TEMPERATE. Cold winters and mild summers (0º-20º C) Lat (30º-60º N or S) TROPICAL.Hot:dry or wet all year (on average over 20ºC) Lat (0º-30º N or S) Polar - very cold and dry all year Temperate - cold winters and mmild summers Arid - dry, hot all year Tropical - hot and wet all year Mediterranean - mild winters, dry hot summers Polar - very cold and dry all year Temperate - cold winters and mmild summers Arid - dry, hot all year Tropical - hot and wet all year
10. PRECIPITATION . It is the water which falls to the earth in different forms: rain, snow, sleet or hail Precipitation occurs when water vapour cools. When the air reaches condensation point : the water vapour condenses and forms tiny droplets of water. These tiny droplets of water form clouds. Complex forces make the water droplets fall as rainfall. fall=caer / water vapour=vapor de agua / cool=enfriarse / reach=alcanzar / condense=condensarse / tiny droplets=gotitas / forces=fuerzas
11. The following examples show three different ways air is cooled causing rainfall Warm wet air is forced to rise over high land. As the air rises it cools and condenses. Clouds form and precipitation occurs The sun heats the ground and warm air rises. As the air rises it cools and water vapour condenses to form clouds An area of warm air meets an area of cold air. The warm air is forced over the cold air . The warm air is cooled and water vapour condenses. Clouds form and precipitation occurs. Convectional Rainfall Warm wet air is forced to rise over high land.
12. Rise=subir / over=sobre / cooler=más fresco / moist=húmedo / forced=forzado / high ground=tierra alta / shadow=sombra / expand= expandirse / cool=enfriarse TYPES OF RAINFALL
13. ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE Atmospheric pressure is the weight of air on the earth's surface. You can see pressure on a weather map with lines called isobars . Low pressure occurs when air becomes warmer. The air becomes lighter and it rises forming clouds and rain. Areas of low pressure are called depressions High pressure occurs when air becomes colder . The air becomes heavier and it sinks. Areas of high pressures are called anticyclones , as a result, we have cold clear days in winter and hot and sunny days in summer weight=peso / become=hacerse/ rise=ascender, subir depression=borrasca / sink=hundirse / measure=medir A barometer measures air pressure
14. Wind is the movement of air masses from high pressure areas (highs) to low pressure areas (lows). A weather vane indicates the wind direction and an anemometer measures its speed in km/h. weather vane anemometer Anticyclones send out winds and they are attracted by depressions masses=masas / speed=velocidad / send out=enviar / attracted by=atraídos por
