-Jack has just won the lottery! His prize is $5 million, which he will receive in 10 years. As an
alternative, Jack can accept an immediate payment of $2.5 million. Ignore any potential tax
consequences. Interest rates are expected to remain at 6% for the entire period. What should Jack
do? Make your decision based on the time value of money.
A. Accept the $2.5 million now
B. Accept the $5 million 10 years from now
C. It doesn\'t matter; the two amounts are equivalent
-Jack hears that the forecast for interest rates has changed and the interest rate for the next 10
years is expected to increase to 8%. In light of this news, what should Jack do?
A. Accept the $2.5 million now
B. Accept the $5 million 10 years from now
C. It doesn\'t matter; the two amounts are equivalent
Solution
1.
Future value (FV) = $5 million
Year (n) = 10
Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06
The rate factor, based on time value of money, in 10 year is 0.5584
Present value (PV) = ?
PV = FV/(1+r)^n
= $5 million / (1+0.06)^10
= $5 million × 0.5584
= $2.792 million
The present value of $5 million is $2.792 million.
Since $2.792 million is higher than $2.5 million, Mr. J should accept $5 million 10 years from
now.
Option B is correct.
2.
Future value (FV) = $5 million
Year (n) = 10
Interest rate (r) = 8% = 0.08
The rate factor, based on time value of money, in 10 year is 0.4632
Present value (PV) = ?
PV = FV/(1+r)^n
= $5 million / (1+0.08)^10
= $5 million × 0.4632
= $2.316 million
The present value of $5 million is $2.316 million.
Since $2.316 million is lower than $2.5 million, Mr. J should accept $2.5 million now.
Option A is correct..

·
You have been engaged to prepare the 2015 federal income tax return for Bob and Melissa Grant.
·
Your tax form submission should include: Form 1040, Schedules A, B, D, E, and Forms 4684 and 8949 as applicable. You will come across many items on the tax return we have not talked about in class; if we have not covered it in class, and it is not included in the information below, you do
not
need to address it on this assignment.
·
Your solution should contain a detailed workpaper that calculates the tax due or refunded with the return and calculated in the form of the tax formula (see Ch. 4 lecture slides). The calculation should be well labeled and EASY to follow. This presentation will be factored into your grade. Do NOT include any references or citations on your workpaper.
·
You may complete the return by hand (
neatly
) or typed using 2015 forms found on Blackboard or the IRS website. You may complete the form using software, one version of which is available in the ACELAB.

Note – ACELAB software is for the 2014 tax year; if you choose to use this method, you do not need to override the automatically calculated 2014 information, but your workpaper must detail each line item that will differ between the 2014 form generated and the 2015 forms).
·
Use the following assumptions in preparing the return:
o
The general method of accounting used by the Grants is the cash method.
o
Use all opportunities under law to minimize the 2015 federal income tax.

Use whole dollars when preparing the tax return.
o
Do not prepare a state income tax return.
o
Ignore the Line 45 calculation for alternative minimum tax.
o
If required information is missing, use reasonable assumptions to fill in the gaps.

Mike and Laura Weiss are married and file a joint return. Mike is a self-employed orthodontist, and Laura is a college
professor. Mike and Laura have three children. The oldest is Matt, 23, who lives at home and is a Medical student at the
University of Cincinnati. He worked part-time this year and earned $2,500 that he used to pay his own support. Matt and
Laura provided $9,500 toward Matt’s support not including $12,000 they paid for medical school tuition. They also
provided over half the support of their daughter Diane, who is a full-time student at Kenyon College. Diane worked part-
time as a waitress this year, earning $4,500 but received $20,000 for tuition from her parents during 2015. Diane lived at
home until she was married in December 2015 and then moved in with her husband, Patrick. She filed a joint return with
Patrick who made $25,000 during the year. Alice is the youngest and lived in the Weiss’ home for the entire year. She is
14 and attends the local middle school. She made $900 this year in babysitting revenue.
Laura is a math professor at Xavier University in Cincinnati, where she earned $35,000. The university withheld federal
income tax of $3,575, state income tax of $850, Cincinnati city income tax of $350, $1,920 of social security and $485 of

student teaching. However, she is not reimbursed for the expenses she incurs in doing this. During the spring and fall
semesters of 2015 she drove her personal automobile 6,350 miles in fulfilling this obligation. She has always used the
standard mileage method for computing this deduction.

Inventory Management Homework Set You work in the administrat.docxdoylymaura
Inventory Management Homework Set
You work in the administration of a major hospital. One of your tasks is the scheduling of one of the operating rooms in the hospital. The room is used for a specific elective surgery. You allocate a certain amount of time for a surgery; if the actual duration of the surgery exceeds the allocated time, the surgery scheduled next has to start later, and this usually results in overtime at the end of the day where surgery personnel have to stay late into the evening hours. If the actual duration of the surgery is less than the allocated time, the operating rooms remains idle until the next scheduled surgery, since the required resources for the surgery to start (staff, surgeon, equipment, patient) do not become available earlier.
You currently allocate 90 minutes for each surgery (from the beginning until the room is ready for the next patient). However, surgeons and personnel have voiced their opinion that they believe this is not enough time – too often do they run over, and too often do they have to stay late to resolve schedule overruns. The higher levels of the administration agree, since overtime work is generally associated with higher costs as well as possibly worse patient outcomes. You decide to manage this process more rigorously, and download data on 200 completed surgeries that contains information on the actual durations of the surgeries (beginning until the room is ready again), as well as some data on which surgery team was involved, and some patient specific data (Body Mass Index, or BMI of patient), see Surgery Data.xls.
Question 1
: Your higher level managers in the hospital tell you that surgeries should finish within the allocated time 99% of all times. Calculate the amount of time you should allocate per surgery to make that happen. How much safety buffer is included in this number? (
Note that the safety buffer is the difference between your allocated time, and the time it would take to complete the surgery on average
)
Question 2
: You try to understand the precise cost factors associated with allocating too much and too little time to a surgery. While opinions diverge, most of your colleagues tell you that a minute of being overtime is about 3 times as bad as a minute of finishing early. Can you use this information to revise how much total time (and buffer time) you would allocate to a surgery?
Question 3
: One of the surgery teams (let’s leave it unspecified which one!) likes to schedule surgeries in continuous blocks. They tell you that they can handle three surgeries in a row; according to them, an advantage would be that all resources to start the next surgery early, in case they are done early, would be available. How much time would you allocate to such a block of three surgeries in a row (under the cost information from Q2)? Compare this time to the time you would normally allocate to three surgeries made by three different teams. How much buffer time can you save .

-Jack has just won the lottery! His prize is $5 million, which he will receive in 10 years. As an
alternative, Jack can accept an immediate payment of $2.5 million. Ignore any potential tax
consequences. Interest rates are expected to remain at 6% for the entire period. What should Jack
do? Make your decision based on the time value of money.
A. Accept the $2.5 million now
B. Accept the $5 million 10 years from now
C. It doesn\'t matter; the two amounts are equivalent
-Jack hears that the forecast for interest rates has changed and the interest rate for the next 10
years is expected to increase to 8%. In light of this news, what should Jack do?
A. Accept the $2.5 million now
B. Accept the $5 million 10 years from now
C. It doesn\'t matter; the two amounts are equivalent
Solution
1.
Future value (FV) = $5 million
Year (n) = 10
Interest rate (r) = 6% = 0.06
The rate factor, based on time value of money, in 10 year is 0.5584
Present value (PV) = ?
PV = FV/(1+r)^n
= $5 million / (1+0.06)^10
= $5 million × 0.5584
= $2.792 million
The present value of $5 million is $2.792 million.
Since $2.792 million is higher than $2.5 million, Mr. J should accept $5 million 10 years from
now.
Option B is correct.
2.
Future value (FV) = $5 million
Year (n) = 10
Interest rate (r) = 8% = 0.08
The rate factor, based on time value of money, in 10 year is 0.4632
Present value (PV) = ?
PV = FV/(1+r)^n
= $5 million / (1+0.08)^10
= $5 million × 0.4632
= $2.316 million
The present value of $5 million is $2.316 million.
Since $2.316 million is lower than $2.5 million, Mr. J should accept $2.5 million now.
Option A is correct..

Mike and Laura Weiss are married and file a joint return. Mike is a self-employed orthodontist, and Laura is a college
professor. Mike and Laura have three children. The oldest is Matt, 23, who lives at home and is a Medical student at the
University of Cincinnati. He worked part-time this year and earned $2,500 that he used to pay his own support. Matt and
Laura provided $9,500 toward Matt’s support not including $12,000 they paid for medical school tuition. They also
provided over half the support of their daughter Diane, who is a full-time student at Kenyon College. Diane worked part-
time as a waitress this year, earning $4,500 but received $20,000 for tuition from her parents during 2015. Diane lived at
home until she was married in December 2015 and then moved in with her husband, Patrick. She filed a joint return with
Patrick who made $25,000 during the year. Alice is the youngest and lived in the Weiss’ home for the entire year. She is
14 and attends the local middle school. She made $900 this year in babysitting revenue.
Laura is a math professor at Xavier University in Cincinnati, where she earned $35,000. The university withheld federal
income tax of $3,575, state income tax of $850, Cincinnati city income tax of $350, $1,920 of social security and $485 of
medicare tax. She also worked part-time for the Cincinnati Bengals. The NFL franchise paid her $12,000 in salary and
withheld $1,205 of federal income tax, $350 of state income tax, $155 of Cincinnati city income tax, $590 for social
security and $145 for medicare tax.
Laura is required by the university to visit several high schools in the area to evaluate students who are completing their
student teaching. However, she is not reimbursed for the expenses she incurs in doing this. During the spring and fall
semesters of 2015 she drove her personal automobile 6,350 miles in fulfilling this obligation. She has always used the
standard mileage method for computing this deduction.
The Weiss’s received $1100 of interest from State Savings Bank on a joint account. They also received interest of $1,050
on City of Cincinnati School District Bonds. They own stock in Charter Corporation and Delhi Company which they
received a total of $1,405 in qualified dividends during the year. Mike felt the market was going to crash during 2015 so
he decided to liquidate some stocks and invest the money in his business. They sold the following stock in the beginning

Inventory Management Homework Set You work in the administrat.docxdoylymaura
Inventory Management Homework Set
You work in the administration of a major hospital. One of your tasks is the scheduling of one of the operating rooms in the hospital. The room is used for a specific elective surgery. You allocate a certain amount of time for a surgery; if the actual duration of the surgery exceeds the allocated time, the surgery scheduled next has to start later, and this usually results in overtime at the end of the day where surgery personnel have to stay late into the evening hours. If the actual duration of the surgery is less than the allocated time, the operating rooms remains idle until the next scheduled surgery, since the required resources for the surgery to start (staff, surgeon, equipment, patient) do not become available earlier.
You currently allocate 90 minutes for each surgery (from the beginning until the room is ready for the next patient). However, surgeons and personnel have voiced their opinion that they believe this is not enough time – too often do they run over, and too often do they have to stay late to resolve schedule overruns. The higher levels of the administration agree, since overtime work is generally associated with higher costs as well as possibly worse patient outcomes. You decide to manage this process more rigorously, and download data on 200 completed surgeries that contains information on the actual durations of the surgeries (beginning until the room is ready again), as well as some data on which surgery team was involved, and some patient specific data (Body Mass Index, or BMI of patient), see Surgery Data.xls.
Question 1
: Your higher level managers in the hospital tell you that surgeries should finish within the allocated time 99% of all times. Calculate the amount of time you should allocate per surgery to make that happen. How much safety buffer is included in this number? (
Note that the safety buffer is the difference between your allocated time, and the time it would take to complete the surgery on average
)
Question 2
: You try to understand the precise cost factors associated with allocating too much and too little time to a surgery. While opinions diverge, most of your colleagues tell you that a minute of being overtime is about 3 times as bad as a minute of finishing early. Can you use this information to revise how much total time (and buffer time) you would allocate to a surgery?
Question 3
: One of the surgery teams (let’s leave it unspecified which one!) likes to schedule surgeries in continuous blocks. They tell you that they can handle three surgeries in a row; according to them, an advantage would be that all resources to start the next surgery early, in case they are done early, would be available. How much time would you allocate to such a block of three surgeries in a row (under the cost information from Q2)? Compare this time to the time you would normally allocate to three surgeries made by three different teams. How much buffer time can you save .

Objectives
In this lab, students will examine the following objectives.
Differentiate the use of IDS and IPS to detect network attacks
Design a network with IDS/IPS.
Justify the use of IDS/IPS for a given network solution.
Scenario
A small company is using the topology shown below to secure its intranet while provides a less-secured environment to its eCommerce DMZ server. The company is concerned firewalls are not enough to detect and prevent network attacks.
Hence, deployment of sensors to Intrusion detection systems (IDS) and/or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) are needed in the network.
Your job is to provide recommendations including a network design with IDS/IPS that meet company’s requirements.
Initial Topology
Company’s Requirements
Detect any malicious traffic entering the ecommerce server without performance penalty to traffic getting in the server from revenue-generating customers.
Stop any malicious traffic entering the human resources LAN (HR LAN).
Detect any malicious traffic entering the computer terminal in the marketing LAN (MKT LAN).
Stop any traffic entering the File Server in MKT LAN.
Deploy a centralized database and analysis console in the intranet to managing and monitoring both; IDS and IPS sensors.

Throughout this course, the breadth and depth of your knowledge with regard to aspects of culture and diversity—race, economic level, social class, family background, language, gender, sexual orientation, abilities—has grown. However, it is the role of professionals in the early childhood field to not only understand and respect the diversity of children and families with whom they work, but also to help build a community of people who recognize and respect each others' cultures and diversity as well.
This week, your study will focus on powerful learning resources that offer information, insights, and practical advice about creating such a community through multicultural education. You will consider the role of significant adults in children's lives and contemplate the influence that you can have as a professional working to help foster understanding and counteract bias. And you will have the opportunity to reflect on what you have learned in this course—the attitudes and perceptions you had when you began, the insights and knowledge you have gained, and the ways you will use what you have learned in your work as an early childhood professional.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Reflect on what they have learned and experienced in the course, explain new insights, and apply new knowledge
Reflection
Reflective Journal: Final Course Entry

IntroductionPatients usually go through a lot and in most inst.docxdoylymaura
Introduction
Patients usually go through a lot and in most instances; other people influence their decisions in all aspects. They are forced to follow certain aspects even though they themselves are against them. This is because they are sick and as thus depend on the help of others in order to regain their healthy.
The scenario
Ella has been sick and as thus has been requiring medical help. She wishes to stick to the alternative and complementary medical practices but is coerced to follow the mainstream medical advice. Her husband, who insists to make decision on her behalf, as he is the head of the family, opts for traditional practices.
There are alternatives for her care as she may be discharged home to receive treatment and care from there.However; the family members at home also have individual problems. The son is an alcoholic while the daughter has diabetis.The grandson has drugs problems while the grand daughter is bipolar and also has drug problems. The daughter in law is also stressed because of the medical issues in the family which include nephew with leukemia, brother who has HIV and her father’s view that they are all crazy.
Ella is expected by the doctor to go home and receive care from there. The family members are thus expected to provide her with all the care needed in order to enhance her recovery. The question is, keeping in mind the current situation with family members; will she be able to recover adequately?
Cultural
Aspects and alternative treatments
Ella’s husband wants the family traditions to be followed in her medications. Assessment of therapy process and its outcome usually vary across cultures. A cure in a system may be regarded as a failure in another system. This makes assessment of success or failure a daunting task.
The biomedical perspective of traditional systems is that they usually lack models necessary for chronic disorders. In a scenario, a medicine man may say that their therapy works as their patients never come back. A physician may say that their therapy works as their patients do come back. Physicians view this as success to an ongoing process while the medicine mans` cure does not appear to need any further therapy. These thoughts reflect the different expectations of people on illnesses and therapy. These methods are based on various expectations of patients and their families.
(Jennifer Christine Mills Niemeyer, 2010)
The current scenario is complicated further as the husband opts for traditional mechanisms. He wants a therapy that will adequately provide a permanent cure and relief. The husband challenging the use of biomedical to traditional poses a great task to physicians and healers of any tradition. This makes the patients to struggle and reject with the chronic illness. The physician should thus recognize the psychosocial problems and try to analyze the complexities of the cross-cultural settings of caring for the patient. This is to ensure positive progress of the patient’s .

IntroductionIn this module, you have learned about the intention.docxdoylymaura
Introduction
In this module, you have learned about the intentional planning of environments for mobile and non-mobile infants as well as toddlers and two-year-olds. Much of the discussion concerned intentional indoor environments.
The Assignment
Review what each of these age groups seeks developmentally. From there, you will synthesize the information about indoor environments, including the perspective that outdoor environments are an extension of the indoor environment, to discuss opportunities in the outdoor environment for mobile and non-mobile infants, toddlers, and twos. For example, in the lecture, you learned that non-mobile infants watch and listen to the world around them. One thing a teacher can do is to seek out opportunities for children to watch whirligigs spinning or hear a wind chime ringing as the wind blows. You will come up with your own (10) ideas for opportunities for each age group.This table was adapted from Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and TwosNon-mobile infantsMobile InfantsToddlersTwo-year-oldsExample: Notice, looking at, and listening to what is around themExample: Crawl, pull to standing, cruise, and walkExample: Increase social interactionsExample: Engage in more complex social interactions
You will use the table to provide an outdoor learning experience, opportunity, or material for each age group. An example has been provided in the introduction. You will provide one per age group (non-mobile infant, mobile infant, toddler, and two-year-old). As you contemplate each age group, you must also keep in mind any child care rules, best practices, and other considerations impacting environments for young children. You should cite your sources to support your activity.
You will write a summary of each activity for each age group and justify how your activity is developmentally appropriate and supports early learning. You will cite your sources.
Finally, you will submit the chart above (copy and paste it into a word document and the summary of each activity for each age group.

Unit III Project
Portfolio Project 1:
For this assignment, you are to select ONE (1) of the following Case Studies for the project. A Case Study is an assignment in which a situation (a case) is provided and is analyzed through a series of questions. You will need to answer these questions as you would a short answer question or essay question (depending on the length of your response) for an assessment. The questions and subsequent answers should be placed within a word document with proper headings, title page, and reference list (if outside sources are used). Use APA style formatting for this assignment.
The Case Study is the first entry in what is to be a portfolio for this course. There are a total of four portfolio assignments, with the other assignments meant to test your ability to apply the information you learned to the environment around you. This skill is important as it will allow you to perceive the changing world around you and apply the concepts of sociology in your everyday life. The ability to apply these concepts to the world around you can also be transferred to other courses as well.
Case 1:
John Rommel was born in 1955 to a lower class family in New York. His father had immigrated over to the United States from Germany prior to the rise of Hitler in 1933. He desired to show pride in his new country, so he worked hard at the docks to earn a living for his family. While he was never made much, he always stressed pride in his work and obeyed the law. He believed this was a firm foundation for becoming successful.
John always showed a bright mind and highly intuitive nature, but he never showed any desire for schooling. He saw society as an unfair, unforgiving system that repressed those of lower social status. John was not a violent person; he considered himself very honorable, but he did not have a desire to work like his father did, earning low wages for hours of tedious work to support his family. Instead, he opted for more illegal endeavors—gambling, stealing, and even dabbling in organized crime. However, he never told his father because he did not want to disrespect his family. When he turned 17, he became a drug-runner for the Gambino family because a couple of his close “brothers” had become involved in the business as well.
Soon John became involved with more than just drug running; he began to assist the family with offering “protective services” to different shops and businesses in Brooklyn’s lower east side. Should the businesses miss a payment or refuse their help, he would instigate certain actions against the business to cause severe damage, enough to ensure the business owner would seek their protection from then on.
Eventually, John’s .

Portfolio Project 3:
The third portfolio entry requires the construction of a document that reflects the information you have learned in Unit V. The assignment will also test your ability to think critically about the concepts within the unit. This portfolio entry should be in one word document with proper headings for each section.
This project allows you to develop some interviewing skills, generate tables, create a timeline, and write a debate. These different mini projects allow you to think outside of the box of the traditional assignment and assessment format, stretching your academic capabilities and applying them to the sociology discipline.
1. Ask five people how they would define racism, religion, and family, and then summarize the definitions. Identify the similarities and differences in the definitions. Provide your own definitions of each and how they relate to each other.
a. You can use any means you want to interview people. Social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), email, or personal interviews are all acceptable.
2. Generate a table with a list of the different patterns of interaction between minority and majority groups. The table should have three columns:
a. One column for the models
b. One column providing three facts about each model
c. One column providing two different examples for each model
3. Develop a K-W-L table for each of the racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Create three columns for each table with the following categories: What I KNOW (K), what I WANT to know (W), and what I LEARNED (L). Complete the “K” and “W” sections, listing at least three things you know and three things that you want to know about each of the racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Then, perform research on the different associated cultures, and list three things you learned about the different cultures, and fill them in the “L” section.
4. Create a timeline listing the different stages of family life. Make note of any events, significant milestones, or problems that may occur.
5. Argue both sides (supporting and rejecting) the following statement in one to two paragraphs: The religions in the world will never get along because they are too different.

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.

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.
