Voice evacuation systems provide clear, intelligible emergency messages to ensure safe and efficient evacuation. They use prerecorded messages to direct personnel in an emergency, allowing for phased evacuation. Without voice evacuation, valuable time is lost as people may not understand alarm bells and initially continue normal activities, potentially endangering lives. Voice evacuation systems help save lives by facilitating immediate, controlled, and safe evacuation through verbal instructions.

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.
2. Voice Evacuation
• Research has proven that in an emergency people will react
without confusion or panic if they receive a clear, intelligible
message.
• Bells and sounders only give a warning, they do not indicate
the nature of the emergency.
• Phased evacuation using clear, easily understood, pre-
recorded messages ensures that even untrained personnel are
evacuated speedily and efficiently.
3. Voice Evacuation
what is it?
• An effective alternative to standard bells and sounders – using the
spoken word for evacuating premises during an emergency.
• Often referred to as ‘voice alarm’, ‘VA’ or ‘VE’.
• Needs to be fully compliant with BS5839-8, BSEN54-16 and
EN60849.
• Serves as a general public address system during normal
circumstances.
• Provides companies with facilities such as advertisement
injection, background music, timed message announcements – and
much more.
4. Voice Evacuation
in brief
• A ‘building’ is ‘divided’ into separate areas (zones).
• Zones can be ‘spoken to’ (broadcast to) individually, several at
once or as an ‘all call’.
• During an emergency people are informed – via the spoken
word – what is happening and what to do.
• Evacuation control is either via pre-recorded messages and/or
via emergency fire microphones.
• The system is fully monitored (BS5839-8), with any faults
reported, so that it will work when needed – during an
emergency.
5. Voice Evacuation
why do we need it?
• Those most at risk can be evacuated first.
• Phased evacuation can be pre-planned.
• Emergency messages can be stored on the system and
broadcast by automatic or manual means.
• Fire officers/building management can broadcast ‘live’ at any
time.
• Panic is reduced due to the controlled nature of the
evacuation.
• Quite simply: voice alarm helps save lives during an
emergency.
7. ..WITHOUT Voice Evacuation
• A ‘break glass’ box or ‘fire detector’ is activated.
• An alarm is sounded – normally a bell/klaxon style alarm.
• Initially, it is usual for people to carry on as normal.
• Vital seconds – or minutes – are lost.
• After a while people become curious and eventually start to
move.
• People habitually exit via the same route they entered – this
may be the longest (or most dangerous) route.
• Unfortunately, such inaction can, and does, end in tragedy.
9. ..WITH Voice Evacuation
• A ‘break glass’ box or ‘fire detector’ is activated.
• The fire alarm panel activates the voice alarm system messages.
• Emergency messages are broadcast to areas at risk.
• Areas of high risk are informed of any necessary action – ie
‘evacuate’.
• Areas of low risk are ‘alerted’ to the situation – ‘phased evacuation’.
• Real time information may be broadcast by the emergency services
to prevent people moving into danger.
• Result – immediate action – calm, controlled and SAFE evacuation.
13. System Priorities
• A voice alarm system has various inputs, which must be
prioritised. This ensures the most important input (ie fire
officer’s microphone) overrides any other.
• Typical priorities are as follows:
Fire Fire
Evacuation
microphone 1 microphone 2 Alert message
message
(all call) (zone select)
Spot announcer Other
Background Paging
(advert emergency
music microphone
injection) message
Priority settings on VIGIL EVAS systems can be easily changed to suit individual requirements.
15. Fire Microphone
• Weatherproof enclosure.
• Fist microphone.
• Has top priority – overrides all other
microphones and inputs to the voice
evacuation system.
• Used by firemen/building control to
override emergency broadcasts – either
as a ‘zone select’ or ‘all call’.
• Any other messages being transmitted
to zones will be interrupted when the
fire microphone is activated.
16. Microphone Controller
• Operated by the designated person to
control the evacuation using voice
announcements – live or recorded.
• Can also be used as a fire or paging
microphone.
• Selects music source.
• Ability to test the system via pre-
recorded ‘start’ and ‘end’ test messages.
• During an emergency, assumes
‘emergency control mode’ and is given a
higher priority.
17. Router
• The voice alarm router is connected to the
fire detection system of a building.
• The fire detection system triggers the VA
system to evacuate and alert automatically.
• Provides full system status monitoring and
fault reporting.
• The router receives various inputs including
microphones, spot announcers, etc.
• It outputs the ‘priority’ signal, via the
amplifier(s), to relevant loudspeaker circuits
(zones).
18. Amplifier
• Receives the input from the microphone
(or other source) (via the router) and
amplifies (broadcasts) it to the relevant
zones.
• Several amplifiers will be built into a
voice alarm rack, with each amplifier
broadcasting to specific zones (circuits)
within the building.
• Available in different power options to
suit system requirements.
19. Batteries
• A voice evacuation system must work during an emergency –
even if the mains power has failed.
• Backup batteries included in the system must be of a suitable
‘size’.
• Calculations for battery sizes are made at the design stage of a
system.
• Typically, the system is capable of being battery-backed for 24
hours quiescent and 30 minutes at full power (to meet the
requirements of BS5839-8).
20. Messages
• Flash memory, recordable by client.
• Digital WAV files. Alert
• CD quality.
Evac
• 57 second duration for each
message.
Test
• Constantly monitored.
• Triggered by fire panel or manually.
21. Music Input
• A source of music which is installed in the voice alarm rack –
such as an MP3 or CD player.
• Used to broadcast background music to zones selected.
• Typically the lowest priority in a voice alarm system.
• Will be overridden in the event of an emergency.
25. • Single, four or eight zone.

37. EN54-16:2008
Fire Alarm and Fire Alarm Systems. Voice Alarm Control and Indicating Equipment.
• Many European countries adopted this standard in April 2011.
• All voice alarm manufacturers need their products third party
testing by an accredited test house.
• Specifiers, consultants, installers and end users need to
ensure that the voice alarm equipment supplied has full
EN54-16 third party certification.
• All manufacturers must have relevant factory production
control procedures in place – i.e. ENISO9001-2000.
• Baldwin Boxall’s VIGIL2 voice alarm products have full
BSEN54-16:2008 certification (including BSEN54-4:2008 for
power supplies).
