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.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

1. 16 Rules for writing numbers How do I write numbers?
2. Rule 1.Spell out single-digit whole numbers. Use numerals for numbers greater than nine. Correct Examples: I want five copies.I want 10 copies.
3. Rule 2.Be consistent within a category. For example, if you choose numerals because one of the numbers is greater than nine, use numerals for all numbers in that category. If you choose to spell out numbers because one of the numbers is a single digit, spell out If you choose to spell out numbers because one of the numbers is a single digit, spell out all numbers in that category.If you have numbers in different categories, use numerals for one category and spell out the other.
4. Correct Examples:My 10 cats fought with their 2 cats.My ten cats fought with their two cats.Given the budget constraints, if all 30 history students attend the four plays, then the 7 math students will be able to attend only two plays. (Students are represented with figures; plays are represented with words.) Incorrect Example: I asked for five pencils, not 50.
5. Rule 3. Always spell out simple fractions and use hyphens with them. Examples:One-half of the pies have been eaten.A two-thirds majority is required for that bill to pass in Congress.
6. Rule 4.A mixed fraction can be expressed in figures unless it is the first word of a sentence. Examples:We expect a 5 1/2 percent wage increase. Five and one-half percent was the maximum allowable interest.
7. Rule 5 The simplest way to express large numbers is best. Round numbers are usually spelled out. Be careful to be consistent within a sentence. Correct:You can earn from one million to five million dollars. Incorrect:You can earn from one million to $5,000,000. Correct:You can earn from five hundred to five million dollars. Correct:You can earn from $5 hundred to $5 million. Incorrect:You can earn from $500 to $5 million. Incorrect:You can earn from $500 to five million dollars.
8. Rule 6 Write decimals in figures. Put a zero in front of a decimal unless the decimal itself begins with a zero. Examples: The plant grew 0.79 of a foot in one year. The plant grew only .07 of a foot this year because of the drought.
9. Rule 7With numbers that have decimal points, use a comma only when the number has five or more digits before the decimal point. Place the comma in front of the third digit to the left of the decimal point. When writing out such numbers, use the comma where it would appear in the figure format. Use the word and where the decimal point appears in the figure format.
10. Examples $15,768.13: Fifteen thousand, seven hundred sixty-eight dollars and thirteen cents $1054.21: One thousand fifty-four dollars and twenty-one cents Note: If the number has no decimal point, authorities disagree on whether to begin using the comma with four-digit numbers or to begin using the comma with five-digit numbers. When writing out these numbers, I recommend using the comma where it appears in the numerical form. 1,054 schools OR 1054 schools: one thousand, fifty-four schools ORone thousand fifty-four schools 12,154 schools: twelve thousand, one hundred fifty-four schools
11. Rule 8 The following examples apply when using dates: Examples: The meeting is scheduled for June 30. The meeting is scheduled for the 30th of June. We have had tricks played on us on April 1. The 1st of April puts some people on edge
12. When expressing decades, you may spell them out and lowercase them. Example:During the eighties and nineties, the U.S. economy grew. Rule 9
13. If you wish to express decades using incomplete numerals, put an apostrophe before the incomplete numeral but not between the year and the s. Correct:During the '80s and '90s, the U.S. economy grew. Incorrect:During the '80's and '90's, the U.S. economy grew.The apostrophe stands for 20 or 19 . Example: 2009 or 1980. Rule 10
14. You may also express decades in complete numerals. Again, don't use an apostrophe between the year and the s. Example: During the 1980s and 1990s, the U.S. economy grew. Rule 11
15. Normally, spell out the time of day in text even with half and quarter hours. With o'clock, the number is always spelled out. Examples:She gets up at four thirty before the baby wakes up. The baby wakes up at five o'clock in the morning. Rule 12
16. Use numerals with the time of day when exact times are being emphasized or when using A.M. or P.M. Examples:Monib's flight leaves at 6:22 A.M. Please arrive by 12:30 sharp.She had a 7:00 P.M. deadline. Rule 13
17. Use noon and midnight rather than 12:00 P.M. and 12:00 A.M. Rule 14
18. Hyphenate all compound numbers from twenty-one through ninety-nine. Examples:Forty-three people were injured in the train wreck. Twenty-three of them were hospitalized. Rule 15
19. Write out a number if it begins a sentence. Examples:Twenty-nine people won an award for helping their communities.That 29 people won an award for helping their communities was fantastic! ORThat twenty-nine people won an award for helping their communities was fantastic! Rule 16
