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.

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.

5. overall appearance and starting with the title of the magazine itself. The title of the magazine is seen to be simple and short which is easily remembered and recognized. Special issues are quite common and exciting which promotes the magazine wider. Extra features that attract their potential target audience ( in this case video games are more for the guys) Includes some extra additional articles including various artists and topics such as partying, exposures and overall gossip seem to be the main basis of article written in music magazines along side tour dates... Typical barcode is seen to create a more realistic and professional look to show that it is in high demand and mass produced and sold on to various companies and newsagents ect.. A fun and attractive young image of a well known and inspired artists really creates an exiting atmosphere and attraction to its audience and also shows the main story behind the front cover. It gives the magazine energy and that extra lift and appealing look. Music related image in this case Janet Jackson. The overall colour theme for that issues magazine is shown through the front cover Effects s uch as embossing fonts, outlines and colours really create a more media based product that attracts the audience eye and gives it that edge. Creates a more 3D look .
7. Contents pages appear to be very simple in comparison to the front covers and double page spreads along with the rest of the magazine but they are just as important as they tell their readers exactly which page they would find the corresponding articles. Photography - In most cases the contents page also includes a famous artists that would be well recognized to advertise the magazine and the above articles. Again this is a unique way of creating this ‘L’ shape in the way the model has posed around the corner making a composition out of the contents page. Its fun and energetic. In this case this magazine seems more for a hip hop genre again seems for an older hip hop generation. Most music magazines do not always focus just on the music but also the lives of the artists, gossip, fashion and other such subjects within the music industry. In this case they have subdivided their contents list to features and fashion which I feel gives a really good divide and clearly organises its contents appropriately. You need to have that extra factor about your contents page that is different than other peoples which gives it that wow factor and also carries on the colour theme thought the magazines front cover, contents and double page spread. Underneath the subtitles additional information is present to give an insight into what the article is all about. Its all really simple but bold , makes a statement relative infomation is present.
9. There should also be some indication on how the reader must read your article and the flow of the page spread either by highlighting the titles and subtitles to make them stand out, in my previous research on my blog I have also shown a magazine that has used block arrows to show the connection of image to an article. Not every magazine decides to used the photography on just one side of their double page spread but in this case it is used as a kinda of poster looking feature. Additional subheadings may be relevant if there is sub articles present on the page which as usually located on the sides of the double page spread. There is a main article present that covers a large area of the double page spread. The article consists of writing alongside related images that will attract and sum up the overall article before the reader has had the chance to read it. In research the articles seem to show either an insight into celebrity lives of the musicians, their tours, gossip or an interview. In some way seeing as my aim was for young teenagers I would need a way to relate well to my target audience, this magazine has just done that by introducing their article all about the teenagers! It’s simple text but bold and easy to read . There is also additional features related to the titles such as NME loves... Which flows into the main title nicely and effectively creating this importance and reputation. The double page spread must engage with its audience through any device possible whether it through colours, devices such as photography, language within the article and text, subtitles, additional infomation available, all of these are valuable assets to the overall look and atmosphere that creates a good spread. It has to be interesting and show clearly your target audience.
10. So how did I adapt my own ideas and use these conventions in my own work?
11.
12. I followed the conventions of the typical music magazine where there is a main feature item which is shown through imagery as the main photography; here you can see it’s full of life, young and simple showing plain and neutral colours and clear to read other text. Text is also very simple so that my readers find it easy to read and understand. The language I have used shows it’s for a younger generation and more of a gossip vocabulary such as exposed, secrets, paparazzi which indicates a look into their favourite young celebrity’s lives. The use of a barcode , date and price was used to show that my magazine is popular in demand and also demonstrates that it can be found in such places like supermarkets and newsagents where most music magazines are commonly sold and bought. I create a colour theme that I planned to keep constant through my media project which seemed to be the stereotypical feminine colours pinks and creams but added this subtle pale blue in contrast to highlight the important main features of my magazine which makes it clear to my reader the main headline of my magazine which can also be seen in the image that I used of a single model posed in the centre of my magazine. I used different devices in my text to keep it away from looking like a poster and to flat and bland. I tended to use drop shadows and outlines on my text to give emphasis on the important features. Involvement of the reader by using the phrase ‘shh’ which keeps it between the reader and the publisher. Limited edition in a way makes the reader feel like this is an issue they cannot simply afford to miss out on as its promoting something new about this magazine that others do not have a hold of yet. The used of rhetorical questions also involve the reader about music artists lives and gossip and also including a tour about young teen rebels.
13. I took the idea from the vibe contents page about creating a piece in the corner like a model creating this ‘L’ shape . I really felt that I needed to create more of a music atmosphere with my magazine designs so I placed a guitar along side my young teen model. This is fun and energetic and really shows my target audience perfectly. I really wanted to continue with my natural theme so I create my own design of vines and floral patterns to go in the background. I loved the way that I made it look like the floral patter is coming off the page by creating this pink repetition of the pattern as its shadow underneath. It feels like the guitar is playing the music and the floral pattern is almost like music flowing out of the guitar. In my research it was noticed that the music magazines tend to used corresponding page numbers with the subheadings to show their audience which page that particular article is written on. I used simple font in order for my audience to be able to read the titles clearly. Colours are clear and bold which attracts my younger target audience. Another interesting device that I found in my research was the way that they gave a quick summery of the overall article to entice their potential audience into reading their articles. I used this idea in my own work by typing a quick overall idea of what the article may hold. Again I have involved my readers by asking questions in my subheadings. Main title is vital just showing that it is my contents page and introduced my contents to my audience.
14. It was important for me to see a magazine that connects to its audience on their level through either the articles or keeping the reader involved by asking questions . I tried to keep my double page spread flowing and by making it so that my article and main image along with title spreads itself over both pages it creates this strong link. I also felt that from my research some key points were that magazines tended to relate images along side sub articles which I have clearly demonstrated down either side of my double page. I have used this kind of block arrow to show the relationship between the images, article and the statements and subheadings. One of the main problems that I found when creating my double page spread was that it was extremely difficult to get my text to go in perfect columns so I had to keep retyping it until it fitted perfectly. I liked the idea from one of my glamour magazine research compositions the way text followed the outline of their images so I took this onboard and worked around the way my text would not correctly line up so I decided to try the idea of making my text fit around my model and it seemed to work rather nicely. Photography - ok well keeping along my idea of natural and subtlety I decided not to get my models through my magazine to pose as such but more of less try and relax and have fun . You can see here that they all seemed to be wearing their ordinary clothing that best described their own individual personalities and just had fun with it. You can see Becky here is lying down as she was most comfortable this way so I worked with it. There is not fake set up in my images just a plain white background was cropped in to make the model the main focus in all my compositions. They had bright colours on, comfortable clothing and a real fun and energetic facial expression that resembled my target audience nicely. They seemed to all be female as well which creates this natural looking appeal and role model for my young teen readers.
