The document discusses different ideas for advertising an album. It considers using bright colors without showing the band to stand out from other ads. It also discusses mixing images related to the band to create striking visuals, and isolating individual band members to help fans relate to them. The final idea shown puts all band members together to show they are a group, but there is a concern about a perceived hierarchy. In the end, the document supports not showing the band at all and making the ad purely about the music through vivid colors and images.
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

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 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.

2. Colourful and
attractive
One of the initial ideas it to not feature the band on
the advert and instead try and make it as visually
striking to the audience using colour and images
such as the example to the left which is for ‘You Me
At Six’ which features many bright and luminous
colours and will stand out from other adverts that
they would compete with in stores and on the Bright
colours however may represent quite positive and
bright emotions which are not really present in the
song that is used for our project so we have to be
careful when considering what colours and how we
are mixing them to create our advert.
We also have to make sure that the font
differentiates from the colours used in the
background as can be seen in this advert where
there is a white background then hollows text to bring
forth the background as the actual font however it
can clearly be read and we could incorporate this
idea in our advert.
3. Mixing images
creates main
cover
Another idea is to possibly take images of things
relating to the band not necessarily the band
members themselves and creating an image
that is interesting and that would stick in the
minds of people who see, for example the
image to the left that has the four members of
Kings Of Leon and mixes them to create an
eagle and this shall possibly stick in the mind of
many of the people who see this.
However we would have to make sure that the
image created would appeal to our target
audience with the song we are using, for
example it would be useless binding several
images to create say a unicorn or Tinkerbelle as
it would just not appeal to the audience and
would be worthless if not a hindrance to
showing and representing our song.
Also with this idea it would possibly be a good
idea like seen on the example to keep all of the
text the same colour except the main text that
we need the audience to take in such as the
album being ‘out now’.
4. Isolating members The idea put forth here is to ,on the advert is to
isolate the members of the band and put forth
who the band components are and it helps the
consumer relate to the members on a better
level than the other two ideas do due to the lack
of individualisation that is set by them however
a fault with this idea is that of the band
members seeming isolated and not as a group
or band however we believe that we could wipe
away this idea with what we place below as text
and state clearly that they are a band.
The text in this advert is quite basic so that is
something that we would have to change in our
take on it if we were to incorporate this advert
into our final idea as is would be quite boring
and it doesn’t really represent our album in the
way that would suit it best.
5. As a
group
This idea puts the band members all together as the
main focus of the advert showing who the band is and
that they are all part of what creates the music they
produce however there are signs of a hierarchy in this
band due to the main singer shown at the front and
more into the camera that the person on his left
shoulder who is at the back and can be seen to be
somewhat less important due to his positioning.
The colourless cover also gives a certain feel to the
advert that makes it feel modern and artistic and adds
a certain professional tone to the cover. The lead
singer being placed in front of the rest of the band
could help us apply Andrew Goodwin’s theory of star
image and help our band put forth a person that the
audience could relate to the band.
We could change certain things within the advert to
add specific changes to the expected look of our
advert when representing our genre this would help
apply David Buckingham’s theory of genre constantly
changing however we wouldn’t want to change it
enough as to change the look drastically or to possible
look like we are trying to apply our product to another
6. All Ideas
All ideas put forth ideas that could work
when we create our Advert for our music
video and I believe the one that my group
and I find the most visually attractive and
fitting for our band would be the first initial
idea of a artwork for the advert and not
featuring the band on the advert as to show
it is about the music and not the band and
artists who make it.
