How Integration of Systems Will Bring Concrete Benefits to the Earth and to M...Stephen Lee
Presentation made to the Hong Kong Bio- and Eco-Energy Industry Assocation, Dec 14, 2011. The world is at an uncertain divide, with the East on the rise and the West on the decline. Excesses of capitalism, and escalating costs of social benefits brought imbalances to the world, potentially pitching the young generation against the old. Will the vision of a green planet be shattered because it is unaffordable and too much of an economic burden on mankind? It is more imperative than ever that efforts to clean up the planet be based on the idea of integrating, automating and optimizing past systems which were operated in isolation from one another. New and concrete benefits will be turned up by innovative ways to explore synergistic relationships among proximate systems and to optimize their joint operation. An example can be found in bringing together systems of waste treatment, electricity production, and steam or heat production. However, real benefits must exceed real costs before the world will remain committed to the path of a green planet.
A NEW MODEL FOR DISCOVERY AND DISTRIBUTION:
For years, the independent film industry has created an unspoken competitive spirit among filmmakers. Competition for festival slots and buyers’ attention has left many filmmakers bitter at the success of others. As the traditional deals fade away, filmmakers now find themselves at a crossroads as new collaborative models emerge. The production side of filmmaking has been democratised, now it is time to open the discovery and distribution processes. A step in that direction is From Here to Awesome. FHTA is an R&D lab of sorts, an open source project that is focused on experimenting with new business models, creating open tools and standards and making recommendations for best practices.

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

3. Brent’s Bio A S a young child Brent was a very cooperative baby. He did as he was told, with a smile on his face. As a child curious about “time” Brent constantly asked m e to explain infinity. Brent’s determination to understand the science of time lead him to adopt an unusual interest in watches. Even when some were too large to remain on his wrist. Brent believed rocks had magical powers and he would give me rocks to carry in my purse, and he would say “Mom this is a lucky rock , please keep it with you to keep you safe. How I wish I had given Brent back one of his lucky rocks. Brent loved people and always desired to have siblings. He loved the idea of family and I believed this why he had so many friends. Brent was noble and seriously practiced “fairness”. Brent was very proud that he had the gift of negotiation. He would often say that he never got in to fights because he knew how to use words to solve any dilemma, joking that he would make a great lawyer. The sight of blood would make Brent faint; it happened in the dental office and one other time when a friend was attempting to pierce his ear. He had fainted and hit his head on the bath- room sink on the way down. He was injured and suffered a seizure from the lick on his head. Brent loved sports and basketball the most. He could land a three-pointer basket with little effort and he loved the Lakers and said he could never move from LA because of his love for the team. His favorite players showed an independence of sorts, resembling that of a rebel. He admired people who were independent thinkers. Coach Silva felt Brent had a future in track and field. Brent was a very fast runner. Brent recently told me that one day soon I would be proud of him. I want Brent to know that I am proud of him. Brent could say “I love you“ very easily, and he said it often. August 1, 1988-January 23, 2010 www.brentrobinson.org
4. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon in sunny California on January 23, 2010, my son , Brent Robinson, my only child, borrowed a friend’s motorcycle to take a spin around the block…and he never came back. Brent started talking about motorcycles in middle school. When he would admire a passing bike on the highway he would say, Mommy, one day I am going to ride a motorcycle. I remember the first time he spoke those words, it cut deeply. I started my campaign of trying to discourage my son from Bike riding. In hindsight, after learning of his pure determination and comprehending that his desire would not go away,… I should have immediately investigated the available resources for bike safety. Ordained by my son’s tragic ending, it has now positioned me as a childless mother whose primary Job is to make sure parents are aware of the safety measures available today to safeguard you from the devastating loss which I have endured. Once I realized my son was addicted to the thrill of bike riding , and that desire was not going away, I should have taken measures to properly train my son in bike safety Unfortunately it took the most inconceivable heartache imaginable to learn about and embrace bike safety practices. This is my cause and I am inviting you to join me. We can all complain about the media and its content of violent video games or TV shows which encourages kids to feel invincible. But I am here to tell you that I put my foot down and demand Brent would not own a bike under my roof. And he never did, but 23 days after he left our family home he was dead on the street after performing a dangerous wheelie stunt. My precious son lost control of the borrowed bike and hit a parked SUV at 45 miles per hour and my beautiful child was fatally injured beyond repair. He died upon impact and I can not bring him back to life. But I can bring you to the Information and knowledge that could well save your children's’ life. Marsha Randolph
