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.

32. FACT #1
It Packs a Punch.
It’s the biggest waterfall in North America, but there are
nearly 500 waterfalls around the world that are higher.
However, the three waterfalls of Niagara create the highest
flow rate of any waterfall on the planet - it could fill an
Olympic sized swimming pool in half a second.
33. FACT #2
It’s a Daredevil’s Paradise.
Many daredevils have made successful attempts to cross the
gorge, starting with the Jean François Gravelet, who crossed
Niagara Gorge in 1859. Between 1859 and 1896, a wire-walking
craze emerged, resulting in frequent feats over the river below
the falls. Only one man fell to his death, at night and under
mysterious circumstances, at the anchoring place for his wire.
34. FACT #3
It’s Raining Fish.
Here's a rather wacky fact about the Niagara Falls; fish
commonly fly over the falls. Visitors on the Cave of the Winds
tour have been stuck by them on their way down - so keep an
eye out! Around 90% of the fish that go over the falls survive.
35. FACT #4
It’s a Barrel of Fun.
In 1901, 63-year-old Michigan school
teacher Annie Edson Taylor went over the
falls in a barrel. She survived, bleeding, but
otherwise unharmed. It was intended as a
publicity stunt, but after exiting the barrel,
she said, "no one ought ever do that again”.
There have been many attempts since, but
some were not so lucky.
36. FACT #5
It’s Only Half the Flow.
On average, Niagara Falls flows over 28 million litres of water… per
second! Although there’s a ton of water tumbling down the falls,
around 50-75% of the water flowing in the Niagara River is diverted
away for human consumption. Less water is diverted in summer to
provide a better show for tourists, but it’s hard to imagine even more
water than there is. The peak flow over Horseshoe Falls was recorded
at 225,000 cubic feet (6,400 m3) per second.
37. FACT #6
It’s Got History.
The Maid of the Mist is the oldest tourist
attraction in North America - it made its first
voyage way back in 1846. However, it goes
back even further than that - the Falls were
created by the Wisconsin glaciation about
10,000 years ago. The same forces also created
the North American Great Lakes and the
Niagara River.
38. FACTS #7
It’s (Slowly) Eroding.
It is estimated that 50,000 years from now, the remaining 20
miles (32 km) to Lake Erie will have been undermined, and
the falls will cease to exist. The current rate of erosion is
approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) per year, down from a
historical average of 3 feet (0.91 m) per year.
39. FACT #8
The Marilyn Monroe Connection.
The Falls have been a tourist attraction
and honeymoon destination for over 200
years, but visits to Niagara rose sharply in
1953. That was the year the movie
‘Niagara’ was released, starring Marilyn
Monroe and Joseph Cotten.
41. 1. Niagara Falls form a (natural/naturally) border between
the United States and Canada.
2. Tourists visit this place (frequent/frequently).
3. The Falls are very (noisy/noisily).
4. So you must speak (loud/loudly) or nobody can
understand you.
5. Many years ago, the Iroquois tribe lived here
(peaceful/peacefully).
