Benjamin Harris proposes creating a crime magazine called "True Crime Magazine issue 4" for his final major project. He will focus on graphic design skills in Photoshop and InDesign developed over his two years of study. The magazine will focus on a cult and infamous killer, with most pages dedicated to the cult. Page styles will vary but relate to crime, potentially including fake blood or decayed documents. Research will include primary sources from victims and secondary sources from the internet and library. Ongoing evaluation will assess the design process, outcomes, strengths, and weaknesses.
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.

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.
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.

Project proposal title and date:
True Crime Magazine issue 4
Main area of activity:
I will mostly work in graphic design as that is my chosen area that I want to further progress in.
Also, I think that it is the area that I am strongest in and using that to my advantage would be wiser
than choosing an area that I am not so good in.
Rationale:
For my final major project, I have decided to make a magazine as throughout the two years I have
acquired many new skills and techniques, especially when it comes to Photoshop. I think that my
Photoshop skills have developed the most, as at the start of my first year I did not know nothing
about Photoshop. I didn’t even know how to add another layer onto the page. Whereas now in the
second year I know how to manipulate images to make them look completely different, make
images look better quality, draw and colour using Photoshop, add effects and create shapes to
make retro looking posters and other designs. I have learnt many things including how to use most
of the tools on Photoshop. However, I still don’t know how to use all of them, but I have a basic
idea how to use most of them. I also learnt how to use Adobe InDesign CC, with this program; I
have learnt to make a magazine cover and double page spread. Whilst making it look professional,
with the way I lay everything out. I also now know how to download fonts from Dafont.com and
upload them to Photoshop and InDesign. Another skill that I have developed throughout the year is
animation and creating pixel art. I now have a basic knowledge for this. However, I have decided
that I won’t be doing anymore animation as I found it quite boring and I don’t think that I was very
good at it compared to my Photoshop skills, print.
I also have learnt how to create my own website using Wix.com. I found it quite easy to create it
whilst keeping it looking tidy and professional. I have also found out how to use different settings
on the camera and now know about different camera angles, shots, and about the mise-en-scene
of a shot and scene. I may be using some photography in my final major project, but I will not be
doing any filming as I found out that, that was not one of my strong points, out of all of the other
projects. The programmes that I will be using for my final major project are Adobe Photoshop CC
and Adobe InDesign CC. I will apply the knowledge that I have learnt over the two years into my
final major project. One of the similar products that I have created in the past is the gaming
magazine and the urban legends and myths fanzine. The way that they were created is very
similar to the way that my magazine will be created. I think that creating a crime magazine will be a
challenge for me as I will need to make sure all of the information is valid. Also with the images
that I gather, I will need to get permission if I want to use certain images or edit them a lot so that
they look different from the original image.
Project Concept:
The concept of my project is to create a crime magazine, that focuses on a particular cult of my
choice and one infamous killer. I want to have the main focus of the magazine be the cult, meaning
that most pages will be dedicated to the cult as well as the main image of the cover being related
to the cult somehow, whether that be the members or the location where the cult committed the
crime. The style of my magazine will be related around the subject of crime, so for example one of
the pages will look like a police case file and will be old and decayed depending on the time when
the crime happened. I will make each of the pages different and I am hoping to make at least two
or three of the pages look like an extract from a journal. I want the pages of the magazine to be as

different as possible yet be related to the subject of crime and not have some random well
photographed image on the page that doesn't fit the style. I am also hoping to have fake blood on
some of the pages or one of the pages too fit the theme even more. The magazine itself will be
quite dark sticking to the theme. One idea that I have thought about doing, when I thought of
making a crime magazine was to steal and incorporate the 'Se7en' movie opening credits and add
that into my magazine. However, I will use this as inspiration and make my own version of it but for
the magazine, on paper. In terms of the language used in the magazine I will keep it professionally
worded but in some cases I will take extracts from victims, and the killer and have them in the
magazine, as well as a cult member. I want the magazine to be interesting to read, so I will try not
to have large blocks of text. The idea is to make the pages so different from one another that the
text will seem interesting to read because of the page’s style. I think that this would be very
interesting as it makes the magazine less plain to look at. I will generate imagery by taking images
from the internet and editing them so that they look different. I will also gather images myself
through taking photos of a scene that I have made myself during college. One idea is to get an
actor to dress up as my chosen cult leader and take a photo of him/her.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
I plan to evaluate my work with an on-going evaluation where I discuss the process of how I
created my final major project. I will discuss the tools and effects that I used. I will also discuss the
process of how I created it and what the initial idea of the design was. I will back all of this up with
screenshots, further empathising the point and helping to show the process more. I will analyse the
outcome of my product as well as referencing my magazine in an on-going evaluation, whilst
completing a self-reflection. I will explain how my products turned out, and will explain what things I
would have done differently if I were to do this again. I will also explain the positives and negatives
of my magazine that I plan to make. I also will talk about the aspects of each of my page designs
in the magazine, that I like and why I like it. I will explain where my main inspiration came from. I
will also talk about the research as well as the final product itself. I will go onto write about how the
research helped me determine my final designs, also writing about how useful the information that
I gathered was. Additionally, I will also explain whether or not primary or secondary research was
more useful. In the end this process will help me determine my strengths and weaknesses in both
production and research for any future projects after college.
