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
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.
1. Editing Diary
November 20th - 21st 2013 – Appitized Interview
We spent two lessons editing the Appitized Interview. This included altering the levels to make the
lighting brighter. We altered the shot size, to make it more suitable for the interview and began to shorten
pieces we didn’t need, cutting out mistakes, problems, and parts of the employees response that we did
not want in our documentary.
December 2nd- Intro Sequence
We spent an hour putting together cut-aways to begin an introduction sequence, this involved shortening
clips, splitting clips and muting them to reduce any background noise we wouldn’t need.
December 9th – 10th- Appitized Interview
One of us inserted screen caps and interviews into the Appitized interview to split it up and allow it to
flow and then began to add more cutaways to the montage after the introduction sequence.
December 11th– 12th– Introduction Sequence
One member of the group started to create an introduction sequence for the documentary which involved
selecting parts from our interviews and cutting and placing them to make a montage.
December 13th – Introduction Sequence Cont.
All members of the group continued with the introduction sequence, placing the different clips in the right
positions and ensuring that the sequence flowed. We then placed a TV interference effect at the end of the
sequence with sound effects. I went back and made sure that the start and the end of each clip was
correct so that when you were watching it the start of the end of a word was not cut off.
December 16th – 20th – Interviews
The whole group spent this week cutting down and inserting our interviews so we had a general body for
the documentary. We altered the appearance of the footage using the levels tools within Premiere so that
they looked more appealing. I put some of the positive interviews in place and helped to correct the
colour of the Appitized interview
January 6th – Vox Pops
We spent a lesson cutting down and inserting thevox pops into our documentary. The sound on some of
our footage was distorted slightly because of the wind levels so we used the Fill Left tool to quieten it.
This meant that the audio from the clip mic was no longer being overpowered by the sounds in the area.I
corrected the sizing of the vox pops as we hadn’t changed the positioning of the camera and the people
who we were interviewing, were not the same height so where was more above head space than needed. I
also looked thought checking that the colour was right on the clips.
January 7th – 8th – Cutaways
We continued to add some more cutaway shots to the documentary so that the jumps between interview
clips are not shown. Doing this means that overall, the documentary flows a lot more. I added some in the
middle of a few clips which we very long to break the up slightly so it was more visually appealing to the
audience.
January 10th – Sound
Today we began to add sound to our documentary. We have chosen songs, which we have placed in the
background of the documentary, that have strong drum beats which will help to keep everything upbeat.
We cut down the sound clips to the parts that we wanted to use and placed them in the ideal spots.
*everyone needs to comment – ele found songs, Ellenand chloe inserted them and edited them. I made
sure that the levels were right on the songs that we were using so that it didn’t drown out what the people
in the interviews were saying.
2. January 13th – 15th – Title Sequence
This week we began work on our title sequence. We began to cut down the clips that we wished to use
and placed them after our introduction. I placed some on the clips into the right oder and made sure that
the continuity was correct that each clip stoped just as the next clip was at the same place in the word
being typed.
January 14th – Titles
Today we created the main title and subheadings for the documentary. To do this we typed the titles out
on a black background and recorded it using a screencap. We decided to use a font called “Press Start K”
which we think represented our theme effectively.
