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.
2. MICROSOFT AZURE
• Windows Azure, which was later renamed as Microsoft
Azure in 2014, is a cloud computing platform, designed by
Microsoft to successfully build, deploy, and manage
applications and services through a global network of
datacenters.
• Azure can be described as the managed data centers that are
used to build, deploy, manage the applications and provide
services through a global network. The services provided by
Microsoft Azure are PaaS and IaaS. Many programming
languages and frameworks are supported by it.
3. Components of Azure
• On a higher level Azure has 4 logic component,
these component are just to create a logical and
regional boundaries, around resources offered by
Azure.
• We signup on Azure, then we get a default
directory, and one free subscription.
• Directory or Tenant
• Subscription
• Resource Group
• Resources
4.
5. Azure as PaaS
(Platform as a
Service)
• The clients can focus on the application development rather than having to worry about hardware and
infrastructure. It also takes care of most of the operating systems, servers and networking issues.
• Pros
• The overall cost is low as the resources are allocated on demand and servers are automatically updated.
• It is less vulnerable as servers are automatically updated and being checked for all known security issues. The
whole process is not visible to developer and thus does not pose a risk of data breach.
• Since new versions of development tools are tested by the Azure team, it becomes easy for developers to move on
to new tools. This also helps the developers to meet the customer’s demand by quickly adapting to new versions.
• Cons
• There are portability issues with using PaaS. There can be a different environment at Azure, thus the application
might have to be adapted accordingly.
6. Azure as IaaS
(Infrastructure as a
Service)
• It is a managed compute service that gives complete control of the
operating systems and the application platform stack to the application
developers. It lets the user to access, manage and monitor the data centers
by themselves.
• Pros
• This is ideal for the application where complete control is required.
• IaaS facilitates very efficient design time portability.
• IaaS allows quick transition of services to clouds, which helps the vendors
to offer services to their clients easily.
• Cons
• Since users are given complete control they are tempted to stick to a
particular version for the dependencies of applications.
• There are many factors which increases the cost of its operation. For
example, higher server maintenance for patching and upgrading software.
• There are lots of security risks from unpatched servers.
• Unlike PaaS, there is no provision of automatic server patching in IaaS. An
unpatched server with sensitive information can be very vulnerable
affecting the entire business of an organization.
10. Compute / Execution Models
• This is the interface for executing the
application, which is one of the basic
functions of Azure.
• There are different models such as Web
App, Virtual Machine, Mobile Service,
Cloud Service, and Batch Service. These
models can be used either separately or in
combination as per the requirement.
11. Data Management
• Data management can be done by using
SQL server Database component or the
simple data storage module offered by
Windows Azure.
• SQL server database can be used for
relational database. The storage module
can store unrelated tables (without foreign
key or any relation) and blobs. Blobs include
binary data in the form of images, audio,
video, and text files.
12. Networking
• Azure traffic manager routes the requests of a user intelligently
to an available datacenter. The process involves finding the
nearest datacenter to the user who makes the request for web
application, and if the nearest datacenter is not available due to
various reasons, the traffic manager deviates the request to
another datacenter. However, rules are set by the owner of the
application as to how a traffic manager should behave.
• The virtual network is another feature that is part of networking
in services offered by Windows Azure. The virtual network
allows a network between local machines at your premise and
virtual machine in Azure Datacenter. IPs to virtual machines
can be assigned in a way that makes them appear to be residing
in your own premise. The virtual network is set up using a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) device.
13. Big Data and Big Compute
• The large amount of data can be stored and managed using Windows Azure. Azure
offers HDInsight which is Hadoop-based service. Organizations often need to
manage large amount of data which is necessarily not relational database
management. Hadoop is a prominent technology used these days. Thus, Azure offers
Hadoop service on their platform for clients.
• The term ‘Big Compute’ refers to high performing computations. This is achieved by
executing code on many machines at the same time.
14. Messaging
• Windows Azure offers two options for
handling the interactions between two apps.
One falls under storage component of the
service and is called 'Message Queues'.
The other one comes under the app service
and is called 'Service Bus'. The messages
can be sent to initiate communication
among different components of an
application or among different applications
using these two options.
15. Caching
• Microsoft Azure offers two kinds of caching which are in-memory
Caching and Content Delivery Network (CDN) for caching frequently
accessed data and improves the application performance. CDN is used to
cache the blob data that will be accessed faster by users around the
world.
16. Identity and Access
• This component is about management of users,
authentication and authorization. Active directory
stores the information of users accessing the
application and also the organization’s information.
It can synchronize with the related information on
local machines residing on premises.
• Multifactor Access (MFA) service is built to
address the security concerns such as only the right
user can access the application.
17. Mobile Service
• Windows Azure offers a very easy
platform to develop mobile application.
You can simply start using mobile
development tools after logging into your
account.
• You don’t have to write big custom codes
for the mobile application if you use this
service. The push notifications can be
sent, data can be stored and users can be
authenticated in very less time.
18. Backup
• The site recovery service replicates the
data at secondary location as well as
automates the process of recovery of data
in case of data outage. Similarly Azure
backup can be used to backing up the on
premise data in clouds.
• Data is stored in encrypted mode in both
the cases. Windows Azure offers a very
effective and reliable backup service to
clients and ensures they don’t face
inconvenience in case of hardware
failures.
19. • Media
• This service addresses multiple concerns related to uploading media and making it
available to end users easily. Users can manage tasks related to the media like
encoding, ad insertion, streaming, etc. easily.
• Commerce
• Windows Azure offers the opportunity to users to buy or sell applications and data
through their platform. The applications are put in the marketplace or Azure store from
where they can be accessed and bought by other users.
• Software Development Kit (SDK)
• Azure applications can be produced by the developers in various programming
languages. Microsoft currently provides language-specific SDKs for Java, .NET, PHP,
Node.js, Ruby, and Python. There is also a general Windows Azure SDK that supports
language, such as C++.
20. Microsoft Azure -
Compute Module
• Step 1 − First, login in to your
Azure account.
• Step 2 − Click ‘New’ at the
left bottom corner and drag
your cursor to ‘Compute‘.

• Step 2 − Click Quick Create and
enter the URL and choose a
service plan from the dropdown
list as shown in the following
image.
• When you go back to the main
screen, it will show the website
just created. And when you click
the website URL, it will take you
to the website.
22. • Windows Azure supports .Net, Java, PHP,
Python, Node.js and Ruby. There are several ways
of publishing the code to Azure server. It can
be published using FTP, FTPs, Microsoft Web
Deploy technology. Various source control tools
such as GitHub, Dropbox and Codeplex can also be
used to publish the code. It provides a very
interactive interface to keep track of changes that
have been published already and also unpublished
changes.
23. Create a Virtual Machine
• Step 1 − Click on ‘Virtual Machine’ from the list.
• Step 2 − Then click ‘From Gallery’.
• Step 3 − Choose the Operating System or Program you want to run.
• Step 4 − Choose the configuration and fill in the details.
The Username and Password you set up here will be needed to access the virtual machine every time. On the next two screens
you can leave the default values on for the first time.
• Step 5 − The virtual machine just created will be displayed when you click on ‘Virtual Machine’ on the left panel as shown
in following image. It might take a few minutes to show up.
•
Step 6 − Once the machine is created you can connect to it by clicking on the connect icon displayed at the bottom of the
screen. It will save a .rpd file on your machine as shown in the following image. Chose ‘save file’ on the screen and it will
save in ‘downloads’ or the in the set location on your machine.
• Step 7 − Open that .rpd file and you can connect to the VM by filling in the credentials into the following screen.
• You can also use your own image by capturing the image of an existing virtual machine or virtual hard drive. Virtual
machines are beneficial in several ways. A user can try new operating system without actually installing them. A VM can be
deleted when you are done with the operating system. New versions of an operating system can be tried and tested before
the user installs them on the machine. VM provides a very economical and hassle free way of using a development
framework or a tool that runs on specific version of OS
