Jericho is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, located near the Jordan River in the West Bank. Archaeologists have found evidence of settlements in Jericho dating back to 10,000 BC, when Natufian hunter-gatherers would camp at the Ein es-Sultan spring. By about 9400 BCE, the site had grown to more than 70 modest dwellings surrounded by a massive stone wall and tower. Pre-Pottery Neolithic settlements followed, with inhabitants domesticating crops and hunting game. The second PPNB settlement established around 6800 BCE may have been founded by invading peoples who absorbed the original inhabitants.

This anthology of ancient and fresh archaeological artifacts paints a cohesive arc from the beginning of the Neolithic Revolution to the first empires of Uruk and Egypt, ignited around the Black Sea by the Kurgan Copper revolution.
The cradle of civilization is a term referring to locations where, according to current archaeological data, civilization is understood to have emerged.
Current thinking is that there was no single "cradle", but several civilizations that developed independently; with the Fertile Crescent, Mesopotamia and Egypt, understood to be the earliest.

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.

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.

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
2. INTRODUCION
Jericho is a city in the Palestinian
Territories and is located near the Jordan
River in the West Bank
It is believed to be one of the oldest
inhabited cities in the world and the city
with the oldest known protective wall in
the world.
Archaeologists have unearthed the
remains of more than 20 successive
settlements in Jericho, the first of which
dates back 11,000 years
3. Natufian hunter-gatherers
Jericho has evidence of settlement dating back to 10,000 BC
During the Younger Dryas period of cold and drought, permanent habitation of
any one location was impossible. However, the Ein es-Sultan spring at what
would become Jericho was a popular camping ground for Natufian hunter-
gatherer groups, who left a scattering of crescent-shaped microlith tools
behind them
Around 9600 BC, the droughts and cold of the Younger Dryas period had come
to an end, making it possible for Natufian groups to extend the duration of
their stay, eventually leading to year-round habitation and permanent
settlement
4. The site of Jericho
By about 9400 BCE, the town had grown to more than 70 modest dwellings.
The site is a 40,000 square metres settlement surrounded by a massive stone
wall over 3.6 metres high and 1.8 metres wide at the base
Inside the wall stood a stone tower over 8.5 metres high, containing an
internal staircase with 22 steps
The wall may have served as a defence against flood-water, with the tower
used for ceremonial purposes
5. Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA)
10000 BC - 8800 BC
The first permanent settlement on the site of Jericho developed near the Ein
es-Sultan spring between 9,500 and 9000 BC.
As the world warmed up, a new culture based on agriculture and sedentary
dwelling emerged, which archaeologists have termed "Pre-Pottery Neolithic A"
6. Features of Jericho in PPNA
Small circular dwellings
Burial of the dead under the floor of buildings
Reliance on hunting of wild game
Cultivation of wild or domestic cereals
At Jericho, circular dwellings were built of clay and straw bricks left to dry in
the sun, which were plastered together with a mud mortar. Each house
measured about 5 metres across, and was roofed with mud-smeared brush.
Hearths were located within and outside the homes
7. Jericho in PPNA
The town contained round mud-brick houses, yet no street planning.
The identity and number of the inhabitants of Jericho during the PPNA period
is still under debate, with estimates going as high as 2,000–3,000, and as low
as 200–300.
It is known that this population had domesticated emmer wheat, barley and
pulses and hunted wild animals.
8.
9. Pre-Pottery Neolithic B
8800 BC – 6500 BC
After a few centuries, the first settlement was abandoned. After the PPNA
settlement phase, there was a settlement hiatus of several centuries, then
the PPNB settlement was founded on the eroded surface of the tel.
This second settlement, established in 6800 BCE, perhaps represents the work
of an invading people who absorbed the original inhabitants into their
dominant culture
10. Jericho in PPNB
Expanded range of domesticated plants
Possible domestication of sheep
Apparent cult involving the preservation of human skulls, with facial features
reconstructed using plaster, and eyes set with shells in some cases
11. Architecture in Jericho
The architecture consisted of rectilinear buildings made of mudbricks on
stone foundations. The mudbricks were loaf-shaped with deep thumb prints to
facilitate bonding.
Normally, several rooms cluster around a central courtyard. There is one big
room 6.5 m × 4 m and 7 m × 3 m with internal divisions; the rest are small,
presumably used for storage.
The rooms have red or pinkish terrazzo-floors made of lime. The courtyards
have clay floors.
