Alternative hip hop originated in the late 1980s with East Coast groups like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest who blended hip hop with funk, indie, rock, and jazz. It became more mainstream in the 1990s with the Fugees and groups on the West Coast and South. Today alternative hip hop includes artists like Odd Future, Kid Cudi, and A$AP Mob who appeal mostly to males ages 16-30. The genre is characterized by experimental blending of styles and themes that diverge from mainstream hip hop stereotypes. Record labels like Rawkus Records and XL Recordings have been important in its development and promotion.

Research Paper on Hip-hop Culture
The “hip-hop culture” has infused popular culture in an extraordinary fashion. As a result of its massive cross-over appeal, the hip-hop culture is a hypothetically great unifier of various populations. Even though created by black youth on the streets, hip-hop's influence has turned out to be worldwide. About 75 in a hundred of the rap and hip-hop audience is non-black. It has gone from the fringes, to the outskirts, and now into the commercial boardrooms. Undeniably, Coca Cola, Nike, McDonald's, Sprite, and other corporate giants have exploited on this hip hop culture phenomenon. Although criticizers of the rap music and the hip hop culture appeared to be consumed with the messages of violence, sex, and harsh language, this category of music offers us an example of what can be done. The capacity of this art form to transform ethnic relations is significant. In the 1950s and the 1960s the “Beat Culture” questioned the status quo in ways that integrated liberals and provoked change. In the same manner, the hip-hop culture has confronted the system in approaches that have brought together individuals (particularly the youth) across a wide-range ethnic spectrum (Watkins, 1998).
Currently, hip-hop/rap is the fastest emergent music genre in the United States, representing more than 10% of the $12.3 billion music sales in the year 1998. Rap music has turned out to be the cornerstone of the hip-hop culture. The general hip hop culture has been recognized by this musical art form. The language (street slang), dressing (baggy pants, expensive sneakers, caps worn backwards), and style of the hip-hop culture have all developed from rap music.
To illustrate the widespread popularity of rap, in line with Soundscan, an enterprise in the Hartsdale, N.Y. that scrutinizes music sales, at the end of the year 1998, 9 out of the 15 albums that were on the pop chart were rap. At the end of the same year, 3 of the top retailing albums were rap performances: Outkast, Jay Z, and A Tribe Call Quest. As stated by Neil Strauss, rap is substituting rock and roll as the supreme genre of music among the youth. 10 years ago, in the environs you heard teenagers talking about music from such rock artists as the Van Halen, Byrds, the Eagles, Doors, and Guns `N' Roses. At present, youths are exploding rap music from such artist as Outkast and Jay Z.
DJ Hollywood, Busy Bee Starski, and DJ Afrika Bambaataa (forefather of the Zulu Nation in the New York) are the three New York artistes who have been recognized for coining the phrase “hip hop”. This genre instigated in the`70s with rhythmic beats resonating at base.
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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

very large scale of audience as because most of the artists in this sub-genre

but suggests that its predominately a male related.

10. The Future For Alt Hip-Hop
The future for Alternative Hip-Hop from my perspective seems to be growing
worldwide as this sub-genre of Hip-Hop in the 90s used to be underground.
Until the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, OutKast, Kanye West, Missy Elliot
and Common made this a mainstream genre for the 2000s.
Alternative Rap as I said is growing worldwide and is seen to many Hip-Hop
legends from the past as ‘‘a breathe of fresh air’’. Plus, recent collaborations
with other genres shows signs of this genre on the rise.
Also the recent expansion on female artists recently conveys this as well. To be
honest within the next 5 years, Alternative Hip-Hop could go further than
mainstream.
