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.
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.

3. What is a Hybrid Class?
A hybrid class meets both in the classroom and
electronically. For this course, it means that we will
meet once a week for 2 hours and 15 minutes,
and that you will complete the remaining 2 hours
and 15 minutes of this five unit course on your
own, via presentations on the website. We will not
meet together; rather, you will simply go to the
online presentations and work through them on
your own. I will answer questions by email.
The homework from the live class is due
72 hours after our class ends. The work
from the hybrid class is due 24 hours
before our next face to face class.

27. Suggestions
Your homework for this class is worth 150 points because it requires
significant work. Take this part of the course very seriously. It is easy
to skip a few assignments, and then a few more, but failing the
homework section of this class will be detrimental to your grade.
Make a word document for your homework. Write the assigned work
there. Date it and record the post #. Revise and edit before you post.
Post your homework in a timely manner. This will keep you on track
by reminding you of how many you have done or missed.

30. You are headed into the woods for several
weeks. The possibility that you will encounter
carnivores, bad water, rough terrain, weather,
insects, and poison ivy is very real. You are
wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and tennis shoes. You
have an empty daypack. From the lists on the
next slides, choose which additional items you
would take with you on your trip. Note in detail
why you would choose these items.
31. Group 1 (Choose 2)
Blanket (one wool double)
Sleeping Bag (one single,
nylon and down)
Two extra pair of socks
(wool)
A rain coat (yellow)
Reflective heat jacket
Hiking boots (water proof)
Group 2 (Choose 1)
Waterproof matches (one
box of 20)
An empty container/bottle
(One gallon-plastic)
Rope (25 feet)
Tarp (8x10)
Iodine Tablets (one jar of 20)
32. Group 3 (Choose 1)
Bow & Arrows (6)
Small Knife (6” blade)
A large heavy sword (2.5
feet, 10 lbs.)
A hammer (common
household type)
A fishing line & hook (100
feet of line and 3 hooks)
Group 4 (Choose 1)
A box of crackers (16 oz.)
A package of beef jerky (16
oz.)
A bottle of water (one
gallon)
A package of cheese (16
oz.)
A bag of apples (10 small
apples)
33. After you finish choosing your items, get into groups of
three or four and discuss your choices. Explain your
reasons for choosing your supplies to the other people
in your group. It will behoove you to argue vigorously
so you all understand the benefits of each item. When
you have all settled on your final lists, make a list for
yourself of what each person in your group is taking
with him or her.
34. Write an essay arguing for the supplies you have chosen
to take with you into the wild. Present the issue to
readers, and develop an argument for the purpose of
confirming, challenging, or changing your readers’ views
on which supplies are the most important for survival.
Your final essay should be around 500 words. You don’t
need outside sources for this essay.
Essay #1: The argument essay: an in-
class writing exam
35. Introduction and
Thesis
Focus your presentation of the issue: Your introduction
should explain to the reader both the situation you face and
why you have limited resources.
Thesis: Compose a thesis that makes your position
unambiguous, appropriately qualified, and clearly arguable.
(Your thesis will likely be near the end of your introduction).
36. Body Paragraphs
Paragraph one: topic sentence supporting your first item.
Give reasons for your choice and support them with examples,
scenarios, or anecdotes.
Paragraph two: topic sentence supporting your second item.
Give reasons for your choice and support them with
examples, scenarios, or anecdotes.
Additional Paragraphs: Repeat using the same or similar
strategies
37. Counterargument:
Write a counterargument that addresses why you wouldn’t take the
items the other people in your group think are very important. You
should address specific tools others in your group chose to take. You
may do this in each body paragraph as you argue for your choice, or
you may do it as a separate paragraph after you finish arguing for
your tools.
For example, you might start by writing, “while some people might
prefer a sleeping bag, I found it to be a poor choice compared to the
blanket.” Then you can explain why.
38. Conclusion:
If your adventure is over, describe how it ended and how you have
recovered, suffered, or benefitted from it.
OR
If the adventure is ongoing, consider predicting your future in the
wild.
What are you chances of success?
What do you see as your biggest challenge?
How might you fail?
