An adaptation is a characteristic that allows an organism to survive in its environment. There are three main types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Adaptations include physical traits like camouflaged feathers that help the tawny frogmouth blend into trees to avoid predators, as well as behavioral traits like ringtail possums being nocturnal to avoid predators that are active at night. Organisms are adapted to survive in their environments through traits related to finding food, protection from predators, and reproduction.

What is Sense?
Sense is an interaction between a stimulus and a response. For example- Have you ever touched a hot vessel? what happens then?
Do you know the different types of senses?
They are sight, hearing, Touch, Taste and smell. Do you know that animals have stronger senses than us?
For example- Have you seen a shoot up the ears when you walk past it, have you seen ants moving in a straight line.
How they could see from hundreds of meters height. because Eagles, vultures can see four times further than we can. if you can see after two meters away. then they can see up to eight meters.
Why do the dogs shoot up its ears when you walk past it?
The dogs hearing is very sharp therefore it can hear you even if he is sleeping so for a hearing is its super sense.
What about the mosquitoes? how could the mosquitoes find you? sometimes it manages to sneak into your blanket – how does it know you are there?
A can smell you. they can find you by the smell of your body, the soles of your feet So, for a smell is its super sense.

Solution
1. Pine is a conifer plant which belongs in the Pinus genus of the family Pinaceae. They are
gymnosperms, yellow in colour with harder wood and two to three needles per fascicle. They are
evergreen with about 10-260 feet tall in height. Needles are green and bundled in clusters called
fascicles.When the shoot is damaged then the needle fascicles will generate bud to replace the
lost leaves. Pine trees uses photosynthesis to create or obtain their own nourishment.
Photosynthesis is the process where sunlight, water and carbon dioxide are taken by the pine tree
and then converted into sugars and starches which are used as food energy. They have thick bark
to protect against cold. Pine cones protect the seeds during harsh winter. The needles reduce the
water loss. Pine trees reproduce by producing seeds. They possess both male and female
reproductive structures on the same tree. Pollen is produced by male cone and is transferred with
the help of pollination to the female cone and results in the formation of embryos. The embryos
grows into seeds.
2. Aloe vera is a plant which belongs to the genus Aloe. It is cultivated for various medicinal and
agricultural use. They are stemless plant of about 60-100 cm tall in height. The leaves are thick
and fleshy and grown in trophical climates. The leaves of aloe vera contain phytochemicals. Aloe
vera forms mycorrhiza which is a symbiosis that allows the plant access to mineral nutrients in
soil.They have succulents which helps the plant to retain water. Aloe vera has thich and fleshy
leaves which enlarges for the accomodation of aqueous tissue. The leaf cuticle is covered with
wax. Aloe vera is an autotrophic organism which makes its own food through
photosynthsis.Aloe vera is a vascular plant which has phloem and xylem cells that helps in the
movement of water and food as per required. Aloe vera plants produce offsets adjacent to the
parent plants and also produce tall seeded flower spikes. Pollination also helps in the production
of seed. The offsets can be separated and grown separately.
3. Spiders have eight legs and fangs that inject venom. They belongs to Arachnids class. They
feed on dead arthropods. pollen if caught in webs are also eaten. They capture their prey by the
means of sticky webs. The venomproduce by them par.
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.

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.
