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.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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

2. We’ve said that library resources
can help you find higher quality
information in less time.
But what exactly is it that makes a
piece of information high quality
anyway?
3. We don’t mean to say that you can’t
find any trustworthy information
using Google or another search
engine. (Of course you can.)
The point is you need to carefully
evaluate your sources before using
or trusting them.
4. A handy way to remember the
major criteria for evaluating
information is to always apply the
“CRAAP Test.”
What does that mean?
5. The five key criteria for evaluating
information are Currency, Relevance,
Authority, Accuracy and Purpose (CRAAP).
Currency Relevance
Authority PurposeAccuracy
Let’s take a look at the specific questions you
should be asking yourself as you evaluate a
source and put it to the CRAAP test.
6. Currency: The timeliness of the
information
• When was the information published or
posted?
• Has it been revised or updated?
• Does your topic require current information,
or will older sources work as well? (Topics in
medicine or technology, for example,
change very quickly.)
7. Relevance: The importance of the
information for your needs
• Does the information relate to your topic or
help answer your question?
• Who is the intended audience?
• Is the information at an appropriate level
(i.e. not too elementary or advanced for
your needs)?
8. Authority: The source of the
information
• Who is the author and is he or she qualified to
write on the topic?
• Is there an organization that publishes,
sponsors or is otherwise responsible for the
content?
• What can you learn from the URL? (.edu and
.gov are usually better; .com and .org could
be created by anyone.)
9. Accuracy: The reliability and
correctness of the content
• Is the information supported by evidence?
• Can you verify the claims in another source
or from personal knowledge?
• Does the language or tone seem unbiased
and free of emotion?
• Are there spelling, grammar or
typographical errors?
10. Purpose: The reason the information
exists
• What is the main goal of the information? To
inform, teach, sell, entertain or persuade?
• Is the information fact, opinion or propaganda
(ie. tricking you into one point of view)?
• Can you identify any political, ideological,
cultural, religious, institutional or personal
biases?
11. Every website is different, so there
aren’t clearly defined places where
you’ll always look for these criteria.
Instead, you need to bring a critical
eye to every source and hunt around
until you find what you need.
Let’s look at some examples.
12. Let’s say we
come across this
source online.
One of the first
things to check is
when the
information was
published or
updated.
Currency
13. Here we can find
the publication
date right near
the top. This
article is from
2015, so it
should definitely
pass the
currency test!
Currency
14. But what about this example? It doesn’t
seem to have a publication date anywhere.
Currency
15. If you don’t see a date near the top, try the very
bottom.
Currency
In this case, we have to decide if this is fine for our
project or a bit older than we want to use.
16. If we need information on dinosaurs for a science
class, this kids site wouldn’t be appropriate.
Relevance
17. And neither
would this one,
although in this
case it’s
because the
source is too
advanced, and
certainly too
narrowly
focused, for
our needs.
Relevance
18. This site looks to be the right level for our
needs, so it passes the relevance test, and it
also gets into the next criterion: authority.
Relevance
19. Authority
Here we immediately see the organization
responsible for the site’s content, and in this
case it is a very trustworthy one.
20. Authority
If you aren’t familiar with an organization,
Google it to learn more and see if it’s trustworthy.
21. Sometimes it won’t
be.
In a well-known
example, the
website
MartinLutherKing.org
looks at first glance
like it might be a
good resource.
Authority
22. But for it to pass
the authority test,
we need to figure
out who is
responsible for the
content.
Authority
23. There is no
author listed, but
at the very
bottom there’s
the name of the
sponsoring
organization.
Let’s see what
we find when we
Google it.
Authority
24.
25. Now we know MartinLutherKing.org
will have an extreme, hateful bias
even though this may not be clear at
first glance.
You should apply this same principle
to other situations, like a major drug
or food company sponsoring a health
study or food-related website.
26. Now let’s say we’re researching study habits.
Does this site pass the authority test?
27. Authority
First we should see what we can learn about
the author, and we find a bio below the article.
He certainly looks qualified to write about
this topic!
28. But it’s always a
good idea to try to
cross-reference
with another site,
since anyone could
create a website
and pretend to be
something (or
someone) they’re
not.
Authority
29. Authority
It’s a good idea to also check the authority
of the website itself, and you can usually find
an “About” page either in the top menu, at
the very bottom, or sometimes in a sidebar.
In this case it’s hidden on the bottom.
30. And what we find here only clinches what
we already figured: this is a very trustworthy
website that passes the authority test.
31. Authority
Now let’s check
the authority of
a second site on
study habits.
There’s no
author listed at
the top, so let’s
check the
bottom.
32. There’s a name but absolutely no real info here, so
now I’m very skeptical. This could even be a fake
person!
Authority
33. Accuracy
Also be sure to look for clues such as frequent
misspellings, bad grammar, and awkward
usage that indicate a low-quality source.
This site also has problems with accuracy, in
particular a number of claims made without any
sort of evidence or sources cited.
No sources given anywhere on the site
34. This site also demonstrates the next
criterion: purpose. Here it turns out the
motivation for the site is to sell an ebook,
which is linked to frequently.
Purpose
Takes you to the sales
page for an ebook of
questionable authority
35. The presence of ads or items for sale doesn’t
automatically disqualify a source, but it is
something you should weigh carefully against
the other criteria.
Purpose
The first site, on the other hand, was designed to
inform readers, not manipulate or sell to them.
36. The sites you come across will
rarely be 100% good or 100% bad.
They may have some high-quality
aspects and others that undermine
their credibility. It is up to you to
decide if a particular source passes
the CRAAP test for your needs.
37. Be sure to look at your assignment
or ask your instructor how many
web sources (ie. not found in a
library database) you can use, if
any.
The CRAAP test is most crucial for
evaluating sites found on the open
web but several of the criteria are
very important for library sources
as well.
38. Currency
For example, if we are researching online
privacy, a topic that changes fast, ten years is a
very long time so this ebook found in LibSearch
is likely too old to use. But for some other topics
this year might be perfectly fine to pass the
currency test.
39. Relevance
And this journal article looks very authoritative
and current, but it does not pass the relevance
test: it is far too specific and technically
advanced for our needs. (Unless we are in an
upper-level computer networking course.)
40. Authority
For another example, if your instructor told
you to consult a scholarly source, this
news article would not pass the authority
test, since it is a popular source written by a
journalist for a general audience.
41. Next Steps: Look over the
resources in the “further activities”
section to the right and take the
Quiz below it.
Also, please leave any comments or
questions you have below this
presentation.

Key Takeaway: It’s important to evaluate the
information you come across, and a good way to
do it is to always apply the “CRAAP Test.” This
means to evaluate the Currency, Relevance,
Authority, Accuracy and Purpose of each source
you encounter. These criteria are important for
both websites found through search engines and
sources found in library databases.
