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

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

11. Detailed Incident Description:
The crane was being used as a concrete pile driving rig. When traveling to get the next pile, the operator lifted the
hammer in the leads about 4’ off of the ground and set his brake. Once the crane arrived at the next pile, the
crew began to rig it up with the #2 line. In the process of tightening up on the #2 line, the operator mistakenly
took the brake off of the hammer line, causing it to free fall 4’ to the ground. Upon striking the ground, the hammer
damaged three of the four lump guides and the pile gate bars. No one was within 25’ of the hammer and no one
was hurt.
Root Cause(s):
Operator hit wrong brake release
Contributing Factors:
Lack of concentration by the operator.
Operator was not the daily operator on this machine. He was designated to operate the 4100 but had
been running a 999 since October 2009.
Corrective Measures/Maintenance:
Operator was sent home for 3 days for equipment damage.
Both pile driving crews were shut down in the morning and the incident was discussed.
Operator will be re-designated by the jobsite Equipment Manager on the 4100 (15-3139)
The operator will discuss the incident at the Jobsite Crane Operators meeting
A change in crane operator will be identified on the Play of the Day. Operator shadowed the daily
operator for the day prior to running 4100.

The knowledge, skills and abilities of persons who perform rigging tasks can enhance
the safety and efficiency of our load handling activities while also reducing the associated risks.
The capability of the person who performs rigging tasks originates with training, experience,
hands-on practice and attention to detail. The following titles are often used in the load handling
field, with the same individuals having additional craft or trade designations as pipefitters,
boilermakers, iron workers, carpenters, millwrights, mechanics and the like. For Kiewit
employees and other contract personnel who perform rigging tasks it is expected that they will
have at least one of the qualification titles below as relates to their work assignments.

Introduction
The following section provides information concerning the care, use and inspection
of rigging equipment. The rigger should become familiar with the manufacturers’ guidelines and
requirements as relate to usage and inspection. Repairs to any equipment should be performed
by the manufacturer, their approved repair entity or a qualified person.
Those performing rigging activities should select the rigging that best suits the application. The
rigging shall have sufficient capacity to withstand the forces imposed as created by all or a
portion of the load’s weight, its center-of-gravity and the angle of the rigging to the load. Rigging
shall be protected as applicable during its use and re-inspected before its return to a storage
location.

Introduction
Every rigging task should be approached by initially addressing the following three
items:
load weight
CG (center of gravity)
rigging method (type, capacity, configuration and load control)
If those three elements are thoroughly evaluated, then the execution of the activity should be
fairly simple and straightforward.
Besides the ultimate rigging selection, the weight of the load often dictates which type of
machine or LHE (load handling equipment) is needed to provide the lifting, pushing or pulling
of the load during the load handling activity.

Introduction
Planning is an important and integral part of the load handling process. Plans shall
be detailed enough to give the impression that the load has been moved ‘on paper’ and that
during the process, no stone was left unturned in regard to all facets of the operation. Risks
shall be identified and mitigated to allow for the safest load handling activity possible.

Introduction
From a planning or performing standpoint, nearly every rigging task requires some
form of calculation. Often rigging equipment can be selected based on known angles along with
the load’s weight and center of gravity. At other times, we need to closely estimate the
anticipated tension that the rigging will experience prior to the load handling activity.
