The document provides an overview of Aboriginal dot paintings created by indigenous Australians. It discusses how the Aborigines lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years before European settlement. Their art told stories through symbols and designs that were an important part of ceremonies. Dot paintings depict Dreamtime, the period when ancestral beings created the land and people. Patterns in the paintings represented sacred places and stories and were intended to transport viewers.

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.

3. WhoAretheAborigines?
• A group of native Australian
people
• Similar to Native Americans of
the US, Aborigines inhabited
the continent of Australia
thousands of years before the
arrival of European settlers.
4. • Similar to the Native
Americans of the US,
Aborigines lived by hunting,
moving across land in
harmony with nature.
• Materials they used were
simple, natural, and
functional
5. • In 1770, Australia was claimed by the
British. When other European settlers
arrived, the Aborigines suffered a fate
similar to that of Native Americans.
Some were killed; others died of
disease, and the rest were herded into
reservations.
7. Aboriginal Art
•Each piece of Aboriginal Art has
a story, meaning, or function.
•The process of creation is
more important than the result
•Many designs were reproduced
as part of special ceremonies
8. Materials andTechniques
• Most Aboriginal Artists worked on surfaces
found in nature, such as bark, sand, rocks,
and the human body
• They used simple, rough mediums and
techniques
10. WhatIs Dreamtime?
• Aborigines believe that everything in
today’s world was created by Ancestral
Beings long ago, during a period they
call Dreamtime
• These beings moved across the earth
creating land, people, animals, and the
heavens
11. • The Ancestral Beings then sank back into the
earth and their spirits turned into landscape
features now regarded as sacred places
• Today, the spirit of these beings, known as
the Dreaming, live on.
• Aborigines renew their connections through
art and ritual
13. • A Western Artist is said to
have created a work of art;
but when an Aboriginal
creates a design, it is said to
have been found, often in a
dream or through an unusual
experience
14. • Artworks are created to communicate
stories, messages, or spiritual qualities,
and therefore most imagery is
abstracted (stylized and reduced to
their most basic lines and shapes)
15. • Generally, animals, birds, fish, birds,
and plants are usually shown in profile
(from the side), while turtles, frogs, and
reptiles are shown from the top
17. • Patterns were often first created
during sacred ceremonies, the
repetition of circles, coils, curves,
dots, and colors served to transport
the viewer into a mystical state of
mind. This produced a heightened
awareness and made it easier to
feel a connection with Dreamtime
18. Pointof View
• Many rituals required these patterns to be
drawn in the sand first so that artists could
become used to seeing their images from
above. They would then begin painting with
canvases on the ground.
• In Western art, objects or landscapes are
usually seen from the side; in aboriginal
painting, objects are seen from above
19. Artas Language
• Artworks were meant to serve as maps;
to diagram relationships between
people and the land.
• They record sacred journeys and
contain unique vocabulary of signs,
symbols, lines, and shapes that can be
“read” the way we might read a subway
map.
20. PastandPresent
• Generations of Aboriginal artists living in the
great central desert region of Australia have
been creating art for thousands of years, but
their images have long since disappeared
• Today, artists painting on modern canvases
and boards are preserving and adapting
these same unique patterns that were
developed many centuries ago
• Traditional dot painters used natural pigments
such as ochre, and crushed seeds. Today,
bright colors are more common
