Many people want to write but when they start it they tend to stop it halfway down the line, that maybe for many reasons, such as boredom,lack of interest , no more ideas. So before you start the writing venture you need to find the answers for why do you want to write? Find the idea, topic and make clear decisions about writing a fiction or non fiction. Then you should start when you are ready with all these.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

Senior Project Speech
I am one of many adolescents that have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
When I was eleven years old my brother was killed in a motorcycle accident. From that day
forward I knew my life would not be the same. Two years later I lost my cousin to cancer when
she was only eight years old. After what I have gone through in my life one would think I would
be bitter towards life, but that is not the case. I have sought to better understand myself and the
world around me, which leads me to my research topic. My research topic is how literature can
be used as a therapy tool. While doing my research paper I sought to find how literature can be
used in therapy through writing journals, letters, and poetry. I learned from my research that
“shamans and witchdoctors chanted poetry for the well-being of the tribe or individual”. Also, I
learned that literature as therapy is called bibliotherapy. For my project I wrote a book of poetry
which is essentially my personal therapy tool that explains my life journey.
My product is my book of poetry and photography. I chose this product for three reasons:
to honor my lost loved ones, to express my grief, and to challenge myself.
This product was not an easy one to undertake.
There are many steps to writing a book and I shall explain from step one. First off, I had to write
all of the poems as well as the introduction dedication and the inside panels. This step is the most
2. time consuming and can get very tedious. But it is also the most rewarding. But a close second is
taking all of the pictures that accompany and reflect each poem. Once the initial writing was
finished I had to go through and edit my writing. I edited my poems three times and then I had a
friend edit them and lastly my literature teacher was generous enough to give the poems a final
edit. Once the editing was finished I went back through and made all the corrections needed.
After having the poems corrected I could focus on organizing and editing my photographs. I
matched all the photos to the appropriate poem and then began to edit them. I kept the
photographs as raw as possible for a more authentic look. Most of the photos just needed to be
cropped and changed into black and white. By this time the meat of the book was completed so I
moved onto the layout which includes spacing, fonts, page numbers, and inserting blank pages.
Which many seen easy enough, but it is very tedious considering that you are looking at close to
the same format as you were before which makes it very hard to commit to a design. Next I had
to determine what I was going to entitle my book. I wanted the title to describe the whole book
and my life all in one and I think I have achieved that with the title being “The Rest is Still
Unwritten”. Once the title was chosen I had to design my cover. In designing my cover I wanted
it to reflect the book, the title, and me. I first fell in love with poetry while reading Shel
Silverstein’s poetry in elementary school, which is where the whimsical design comes in; the
words are all in my handwriting and are traits that I find important in life. I also chose blue as the
background to represent the sky which seems to never end. Also I chose the font and size for the
title as well as sizing the font to be placed on the spine of the book. The book was now finished
and I had to apply for an ISBN number in order for my book to be kept in libraries. And I finally
had to decide on the price of my book which I had to take in account the hard cover and the
jacket which is a more expensive style, but since my book is an art piece rather that a novel I
3. found the hardback well suited. Once all of this was settled I sent my book off to the printer. I
then received a proof which I read over and sent for the rest of my books.
My project facilitator was Farris Yawn the owner of Yawn’s Bookstore in downtown
Canton. I chose Mr. Yawn for a few reasons: He owns his own publishing company, he
enjoys publishing local authors, and he is extremely good at what he does. He helped me
to understand what goes into writing a book and he helped me break down the overall
product into smaller goals so the process did not seem as daunting as it really was.
Writing a book, many challenges arise such as; formatting issues, writer’s block, and
picture editing problems. For example, we had to overcome the formatting issue of page
numbers. I had to manually insert page numbers which may not sound bad but since I had
blank pages in my book due to picture and poem match up I did not want the blank pages
numbered. So in the words of Mr. Yawn, we had to trick the computer into thinking that
the blank page did not exist by inserting two different page breaks. Also, I had to
overcome writer’s block which can be very discouraging. At some times I had to just
close my computer and walk away from my writing, otherwise I would be too frustrated
to continue my work. Finally, I had to deal with picture editing. My laptop does not have
a camera card reader so I had to download all the pictures to my mother’s computer and
then use a flash drive to transfer them to my computer, and then I began to edit them.
From this process I learned that Microsoft Office Word can do a lot more than I
use to give it credit for. Also, I have learned that I can do anything if I try and that
through publishing my book I have had a huge burden lifted off of my shoulders and it
has really helped me to open up. I would enjoy writing another book in the future, not
4. only does it feel good to write, but seeing your name on the cover of something so
official is mind blowing.
I have learned that writing a book is not just about writing, it is also about
formatting, color, book size and many more factors. Also it is about putting your soul
onto paper and conveying emotions through words. I want to challenge all of you to keep
a journal and leave all your emotions on the pages. You will not believe how liberating it
is and when you go back and read previous entries you will see how much you have
grown.
My future plan is to attend Western Carolina University in the fall and major in physical
therapy rather than psychology because I am afraid that I would not be able to leave my
work at work. But with physical therapy I will still be helping people overcome
challenges they face in their lives.
Thank you for all of your time and I hope you have enjoyed my presentation.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have.
