This document presents a project exploring abstract art using the works of Irish painter Sean Scully. The project involves 7 sessions focusing on different elements of Scully's paintings like lines and shapes, colors, patterns, balance, space, and numbers. Each session provides vocabulary and hands-on activities for 4-5 year old children. The goal is to introduce children to abstract art concepts through Scully's inspiration from dry stone walls and in a way that integrates language learning, art, music, and physical development.

The adrenal cortex produces three major classes of steroids:
glucocorticoids,
(2) mineralocorticoids, and
(3) adrenal androgens.
Consequently, normal adrenal function is important for
-modulating intermediary metabolism and immune responses through glucocorticoids;
blood pressure, vascular volume, and electrolytes through mineralocorticoids;
secondary sexual characteristics (in females) through androgens.
The adrenal axis plays an important role in the stress response by rapidly increasing cortisol levels.
Adrenal disorders include hyperfunction (Cushing's syndrome) and hypofunction (adrenal insufficiency) as well as a variety of genetic abnormalities of steroidogenesis.

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

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.
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.

2. A BRIEF PRESENTATION
Why we chose Sean Scully? We chose Scully because we liked
his temporary exhibition in the National Gallery of Ireland and
we thought that his abstract art might be a good point to start
exploring with children different concepts in different ways:
shapes, colours, patterns, balance, number and measures.
Scully art, as you now, was inspired by the dry stone walls of
the Aran Islands. The presence of these kind of walls, in
Menorca as in Italy too, motivated us to choose the work of
this artist to introduce an intercultural project.
Who is Scully? Starting from the presentation of the artist,
the trail is designed to develop in seven different sessions.
Each one of them is connected with an aspect of his
paintings.
3. The project is interdisciplinary. The seven session altogether
offer children activities concerning all areas of child
development: language area, graphic pictorial area, motory and
sound, music and dance activities, experiences in order to count
and measure.
The project will give children the chance to learn the new
language as they can connect the new vocabulary with their
senses, visually, aurally and physically.
We are teaching in a pre-primary school, then we thought of
proposals for 4/5 year old children.
But all sessions are like large containers: each of them contains
proposals which can be extended, or made more complex,
depending on the age of the children and the school level. You
can expand the experiences, the information on the work of
Scully, or the vocabulary too.
We’ll show you only just a few examples.
