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

Urgent Request and Call for Action for Ensuring Safety and Inclusivity at MITLevi Shapiro
We, 465 MIT Alumni, Staff, and Students, are writing to express our deep concern, fear, and disappointment regarding the recent protest that took place Thursday afternoon, in front of the MIT Stratton Student Center. While we fully support the principles of free
speech and the right to peaceful assembly, it is essential that we also prioritize the safety and well-being of all members of the MIT
community.
During the protest, a particular slogan was prominently displayed and chanted, which has raised significant concerns. The slogan
"From the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea, Palestine will be free!" has been a source of contention due to its potential
implications and the real safety risks it poses to Jewish and Israeli students on campus [See video footage attached]. This slogan
has been time and again associated with calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and has been used in contexts that
promote violence, which raises legitimate concerns about the safety and security of our Jewish and Israeli students and staff.
Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to recent events that demonstrate the potential dangers associated with this
slogan. During the 2023 Israel-Hamas war, British Home Secretary Suella Braverman proposed criminalizing the use of the slogan
in certain contexts, recognizing the potential harm it can cause. Additionally, on October 11, ‘23, Vienna police banned a
demonstration, citing the inclusion of the phrase "from the river to the sea" in invitations, as it was seen as a portrayal of a violation
of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
In addition to the use of these derogatory messages, several attendees of the event used hateful wordings and messages towards
Jewish and Israeli bystanders. In one case, a perpetrator aggressively held their bicycles as intended to harm a Jewish MIT student,
stating that “[your] ancestors did not die in the Holocaust so they could kill Palestinians” [See video footage attached]. In another
incident, protesters chanted “one solution, intifada revolution”. In the context of the on-going Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the word
"Intifada" means the armed and violent Palestinian insurrection targeting Israelis, including civilians, which resulted in the killing of
thousands of Israelis in the last few decades.
On Oct. 22nd, a statement by MIT CAA (Coalition Against Apartheid) came to our attention. In this document, MIT CCA states that
they "hold the Israeli regime responsible for all unfolding violence". They later call the October 7th terror attack a "response to
the settler colonial regime", and continue justifying it throughout the document.
In this matter, MIT CAA is justifying the heinous and barbaric crimes committed on Oct 7th. Furthermore, these statements have the
potential to fuel acts of aggression

Presenting to Investors & the Media.pdfLevi Shapiro
Presenting to Investors and the Media, lecture by Drew Levinson, LifeSci Communications to mHealth Israel. Three sections: Making a good presentation, Handling
interviews with reporters and Answers that resonate. PRESENTING TO INVESTORS AND THE MEDIA- Compelling delivery, Commanding a room, • Lasting Impact. A good presentation includes Information, Motivation and Excitement. Never put them to sleep. Audience impact includes content, credibility and delivery. Decisions are made leading to potential partnerships, winning business, so much more than a deck, your business, your brand, you. How to captivate begins with storytelling and conversation. More than features- benefits, humanize, positive impact. Don't complicate your message with jargon. Feel the passion- contagious, vision, determination. Know your audience- who are they, what do they know about you, how much do they know, interests, concerns. Articulate your vision- see it, feel it, believe in it. Take them on your journey- compelling narrative, make it personal, why are you doing this, inspiration. Your team- experienced, knowledgeable, aligned, execute. Risks and challenges- recognize, address, plan to mitigate. Test drive your room. What does it look like? Where is the podium? Where will I be standing? Where will you be sitting? Feel comfortable. Three parts to attention. The beginning- attention, interest, what's in it for them, entusiasm, preview. The middle- core, insights, challenges, solutions, relatable. The ending- summary, reinforce, messages, benefits, call to action, keep the momentum going. How to answer questions. The Four R's: repeat, reinforce, refer, remember. Talking to reporters- necessity; Good interview can enhance reputation; Bad interview can tarnish reputation; Preparation is vital. Shapes public opinion: Elevates your brand; Establishes authority; Showcases your business; A bridge; Reputation; Trust; Visibility. Know the reporter. Audience; What have they written; Previous stories; Questions asked. Concise- clear, succinct, engaging. Make it relatable: Stories; Anecdotes; Experiences; Examples; Metaphors; Connect. Honesty and transparency. It is okay not to know every answer. You don’t have to answer every question. Control the narrative. What not to do when talking to reporters. Come up with another way to say no comment. What to wear- solid colors, blues and grays, nothing distracting. Expertise, passion, vision, lasting impression, connections. High stakes, high rewards. Preparation; Know your audience; Deliver with confidence; Enthusiasm; Authenticity. Begin the journey. Engage in dialogue; Build relationships; Inspire trust and confidence; Valued; Enlightened; Motivated and excited.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Until WWII, 45% of Japan worked in agriculture, mostly in rice cultivation. Until mechanization in the 1970’s, this is the way rice was cultivated in Japan.
For an Israeli, the culture differences would include:A higher power-distance: Israeli hierarchical structures are normally quite flat and it is expected that everyone has a voice, contributes to decisions, and so on. This is reflected by the Israeli habit of questioning and criticising superiors openly, and expecting that leaders are visible and accessible. Although Japan does not score as high as other Asian countries in power-distance, to an Israeli the difference will be striking since: hierarchical positions have a far greater importance than they are normally used to (more on this in later posts), decisions are less democratic, wage differences are greater, and so on.A lower degree of individualism: Although the Japanese national culture scores moderately in this area (and demonstrates some tendencies towards both individualism and collectivism), an Israeli will find the Japanese to be more group-oriented and place more emphasis on harmony of the group. This is also reflected in the communication style, where the Israelis are far more direct, highlighting the wants and needs of the individual in what is said. By contrast, the Japanese will be more indirect, due to a reluctance to affect group harmony.A far higher degree of masculinity: This is the most striking difference. The Israeli society is one of the most feminine, emphasising quality of life, involvement, equality, and compromise. By contrast, Japan is extremely competitive (usually on a group level). This is something that is fostered from a very young age and serves as the main motivational factor in business, while in Israel motivational factors include free time and comfortable living. Striving for excellence is at the core of Japanese values.A far higher degree of uncertainty avoidance: This is another area where the differences are extremely pronounced. With a low uncertainty avoidance index, the Israelis are comfortable in uncertain situations. They accept that things change and incorporate them easily into their work routines and so on. Furthermore, there are fewer rules and the work situations are less structured. Japanese national culture is exactly the opposite. The Japanese have an aversion towards ambiguity and emphasise structure and codes of behaviour. Managers are interested in all the facts and figures, and a lot of effort is put into feasibility studies (etc.) in an effort to identify and eliminate risk factors.A higher degree of long term orientation: Japan is a long-term oriented society, which looks at the bigger picture and views an individual’s life as a short moment in time. In business, this translates to a far higher focus on long term investment (e.g. in R&D) rather than short-term profits. In Western countries, including Israel, the focus tends to be more towards the short-term. Often, our business models, which require maximisation of stakeholder profits, do not allow for the same long-term focus that is common in Japan (i.e. our managers tend to get fired if they do not produce short-term results).
In Japanese art, the person is not the central theme. Much more important is the broader context, the role of nature and how people fit within that larger whole. Contrast that with Western art, in which the individual is the most prominent attribute.
It is important to recognize that Japan is the oldest society in the OECD. With a birth rate of only 1.3 children per couple and the longest life expectancy in the world, more than 20% of the population is over the age of 65. Between 1946 and 1991, Japan achieved continuous GDP growth. The only exceptions were the Oil Shock years of 1973 and 1979. The demographic challenge currently confronting Japan’s growth is how to support the older generation with a shrinking labor pool.
Japanese born 22 years ago will have known economic stagnation for the entirety of their lifetime. Moreover, a series of natural and human disasters, coupled with government paralysis, has shaped their impression of the real world. Contrast that with experiencing the transition from offline social experiences as children, such as Pokemon and Tamagochi, into online social experiences. Unlike their peers in the US, Japanese have enjoyed the connected lifestyle since DOCOMO was the first carrier in the world to roll out 3G with their iMode mobile operating system. More recently, self-expression platforms like Ameba and now Twitter enable Japanese to share their inner feelings in a socially acceptable way. Japan is #2 in the world for per capita blog usage (Comscore).
Masayoshi Son, founder of Softbank. In the 90’s, he invested in offline publishers. Later he acquired major portals, wireless carriers and companies that could expand his footprint in China. In the last 6 months, Softbank has made two acquisitions for mobile social game publishers, Gung Ho and Supercell, both of which valued the acquired companies at more than $3 billion USD.
Supercell is a games business with just two titles, Clash of Clans and Hay Day, which until last week could only be played on Apple's iPhone and iPad. Japan's Softbank paid $1.5bn to acquire a 51% stake in Supercell and integrate with its own publisher, GungHo, maker of Puzzles & Dragons. Launched in 2011, Supercell revenues grew from $100m in 2012 to $179m in the first quarter of this year and are on course to hit $1bn for the whole year.
Colopl is a mobile social game publisher.Their title Quiz RPG: Wizard & Wiz the Black Cat, is a mix between quiz game and RPG,with more than 10 million downloads in Japan alone and a market cap of 3.2 billion USD.By way of comparison: social gaming behemoth GREE is currently listed with US$1.9 billion. DeNA stands at US$3 billion.So Colopl’s market cap is now higher than that of GREE (over 40 million registered users in Japan) and DeNA (over 50 million users).

What happens wheneveryone who is likely to is carrying at least one smartphone or tablet? Japan has a lower penetraton than Korea but it is concentrated in the Tokyo region. In Korea, as in the US, 96% of the apps available through the T Store – are free. NFC is prevalent in connected devices, allowing for innovations across devices. For example, SK Planet has a mobile payment system called T Cash, which is used for 54% of in app purchases, and also can be used to pay for off-device transactions such as train and taxi fares. Interestingly, another third of in app purchases are paid for using gift certificates, demonstrating the potential of mobile devices as a mechanism for giving and receiving gifts.
