The document discusses what the author learned from creating a preliminary school magazine that helped them create a successful music magazine. Some key things they learned include:
- How to research audiences and tailor content to meet their specific needs and interests. The school magazine had a broad audience while the music magazine needed a particular target.
- Magazine layout conventions like mastheads, photos, cover lines, etc. They studied existing magazines to understand important conventions.
- How to use technologies like Photoshop, cameras, and InDesign to create professional quality layouts, photos, and designs.
- Research methods like questionnaires and reader profiles to understand the target audience.
- Blogging platforms to document their process, which was new to

Exploiting inference to improve temporal RDF annotations and queries for mach...Haystax Technology
We argue for time points with zero real-world
duration as a best ontological practice in point- and intervalbased
temporal representation and reasoning. We demonstrate
anomalies that unavoidably arise in the event calculus when realworld
time intervals corresponding to finest anticipated calendar
units (e.g., days or seconds, per application granularity) are taken
(naively or for implementation convenience) to be time “points.”
Our approach to eliminating the undesirable anomalies admits
durations of infinitesimal extent as the lower and/or upper
bounds that may constrain two time points’ juxtaposition.
Following Dean and McDermott, we exhibit axioms for temporal
constraint propagation that generalize corresponding naïve
axioms by treating infinitesimals as orthogonal first-class
quantities and we appeal to complex number arithmetic
(supported by programming languages such as Lisp) for
straightforward implementation. The resulting anomaly-free
operation is critical to effective event calculus application in
commonsense understanding applications, like machine reading.

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.
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

Evaluation Q7
1. Evaluation Q7
Looking back at your preliminary task, what do
you feel you have learnt in the progression from it
to the full product?
2. For my preliminary task, I created a front cover and contents page for a school
magazine. I had never done anything like that before so it was good practice in
preparation for making my music magazine. I used the skills that I had learnt and
developed them so that I was able to create a successful music magazine.
3. Audience research was an important factor to learn first of all. The magazine needs to be able to attract
the audience and without researching how to do that, I wouldn’t have been able to succeed.
For the school magazine, the audience was quite broad; it was targeted at pupils of the school with all
sorts of different interests, ages and preferences included. This made it a quite easy task as there didn’t
have to be any particular conventions included apart from general magazine conventions (such as
picture on front, cover lines, etc.). The fact it needed to be able to suit 11 to 18 year olds which would
normally be split into different magazine target age groups, was another thing I had to ensure. It seems
quite tough to do when thinking about it, but since the magazine is only about school; it turned out to be
quite easy. I made sure everything was gender neutral and nothing was too complicated to read but at
the same time not too simple and easy to read –either option would probably mean that readers got
bored. I tried to stick to the schools colours so that it actually looked like it was the school’s magazine.
The whole point of target audience is so that you’re able to meet the reader’s needs, I had to make sure
the magazine was providing suitable information which would be interesting/helpful to the students
otherwise it wouldn’t have met their needs.
However, For my music magazine, there had to be a particular audience. I had to ensure that the
magazine was able to meet the needs of my target audience - so it wasn’t as easy to achieve. I had to
learn how to tailor my project so that it could be suitable for a broader more particular audience rather
than the limited school audience. Not only did the information within have to be suitable, but the
magazine itself had to include suitable conventions particularly for rock magazines.
4. I know the school magazine isn’t perfect but it was good for working out where I had
gone wrong and how I could improve when I created the music magazine.
Since I had not made a magazine before, I had to learn about conventions of magazine
layouts. This meant that I needed to look at existing magazines to figure out what
conventions were important- this is so my magazines could both look like real ones.
Even though magazines are varied and can look very different from one another, there are
still basic conventions that need to be included. The conventions include things like a
large masthead, photo’s, title behind people’s heads, cover lines, barcode, etc.
5. I also learned a lot about how to research correctly.
This included things like questionnaires and readers profiles etc.
By doing this, I was able to have knowledge on who the audience is and what they want
out of the magazine. I gathered up percentages by doing these so that I could get an
overall idea on who the audience was.
6. Throughout the whole process of the project, I have learnt and used lots of different
technologies. When I first started my preliminary work, I had not used Photoshop to any
great extent, especially not to create something like a magazine. It was frustrating to use
at first, but slowly I managed to get the hang of the program and figure out how things
work. I was able to figure out different methods of presenting my work.
I also learned how to use a camera as I do not really have any experience in using a
professional camera, that was also tough to do at first. There was lots of different
buttons on the camera which I had no idea about, but after some help, it was easy. I used
a tripod too so that my pictures turned out good and at a professional standard, if I
didn’t use a tripod, the pictures could be blurred.
Editing these photos on Photoshop was an important factor too, not all pictures will
have the best lighting and backgrounds so sometimes things need to change. I was able
to learn all about changing contrast, colours, editing and cutting pictures out, etc. –
Meaning my pictures could be at an even better standard.
7. I have gained a developed use of technology.
After creating the school magazine, I learned loads of new
technology such as InDesign, most of which was talked about on
question 6 of the evaluation. I decided to use new technologies
because I wanted to create a better aesthetically pleasing piece
of work. The more technologies which are used, the better the
magazine would probably become. Blogger was one of the
biggest technologies I used, merely because my whole project
has been based on there.
We had to post all of our research and process onto the blog so
that it was easy to keep track of. I had not used any sort of
blogging site like that before, so it was all new experience.
My preliminary work taught me the basics meaning I was able
to create a much better piece when it came to the music
magazine.
