The Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine) presented a slide presentation “Kobzar’s Testament Riddle” that offered a new approach to the background of the classical poem “My Testament”. The local historian D. Synytsia analyzed the text of the poem and suggested his own interpreting of the facts. According to the researcher Shevchenko wanted to be buried in the vicinity of the modern Dnipropetrovsk city. In the slide show we took a fresh look at the poem’s text and found confirmation to D. Synytsia’s hypothesis. It really seems that after a visit to Ekaterinoslav region and the exploration of the Cossack heritage the poet wanted to be buried on a Scythian mound (“on mohyla”) with a view on the greatest Dnipro river rapid – the Insatiable, aka Roaring. Both objects are located not far from Dnipropetrovsk city. The hypothesis is supported by the original Shevchenko’s painting and the memoirs of the local dwellers about the noise produced by the rapids (before they were submerged in the water reservoir). The new facts from Kobzar’s biography impressed the group. The kids were thrilled by the Testament’s riddle that caused so much confusion and deprived the city of the nationwide Shevchenko Memorial.

This document provides a summary of the book "Between" by Hungarian poet Agnes Nemes Nagy, translated into English by Hugh Maxton. It describes Nagy as "one of the great indispensable poets of the twentieth century" whose life was defined by World War 2 and the friends she lost in Auschwitz. The collection comprises Nagy's largest translated work into English. Nagy's imagery is often surreal, with angels portrayed as terrifying and allied with nature symbols. Short excerpted poems are analyzed, particularly "I Carried Statues" and "Terraced Landscape", which create vivid visual landscapes through their structure and symbolism. The collection is praised for creating "visual monuments" and "portals
Kobzar's American friend
February – March, 2014
«Ira Aldridge - Kobzar’s American Friend» a library events series to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Taras Shevchenko – the great Ukrainian poet.
The Dnipropetrovsk WOA Centre's an informative slide show was presented to the groups. It reminded the students the basic facts of Shevchenko’s biography with the focus on his talent of a portrait painter. This allowed to introduced to the students the personality of Ira Aldridge who ordered a portrait by Taras Shevchenko.
Ira Aldridge gained fame in the 19th century as one of the most prominent African-American Shakespearian actors and the first American actor to perform in Russia.
Unable to obtain major roles in the United States because of his race, he was forced to emigrate to further his acting career. Arriving in England in 1824, on October 10, 1825, he debuted as the first black actor at London's Royal Coburg Theatre.
In 1858 Aldridge made a tour of Russia and was introduced to Shevchenko in St. Petersburg. The memoirs of the witnesses informed us about the friendly atmosphere set in Shevchenko’s studio during Aldridge’s posing sessions. The painting by L. Picard illustrated the moment of friendly communication between two talented people with sad background of slavery and serfdom.
The unknown fact of friendship between the American and Ukrainian geniuses impressed the audience. The students enriched their vocabulary with new art terms, examined Shevchenko’s paintings and appreciated the art talent of the iconic Ukrainian poet.

Cracking Russian Cultural Code for Successful Product Development
The document discusses key differences between Russian and Western visual cultures and their implications for product design. Some key points:
- Russian culture emphasizes word over image, with icons serving as a "window" to spiritual truth rather than realistic depictions. Western culture places more importance on images.
- In Russian fairy tales, the supernatural is embedded within everyday life rather than distinct distant lands. Western tales separate the mundane from magical worlds.
- Russian Orthodox churches use indirect lighting to represent divine light from within, whereas Western churches emphasize direct sunlight through windows.
- Darkness and minimal lighting are part of Russian visual culture for spiritual, climatic and safety reasons, whereas Western culture associates abundant light with progress.

Montenegro Panoramic roads
Two thousand magnificent kilometres of asphalt roads.
Exciting journeys through canyons, river and lake valleys and the shadows
of coniferous forest. Through medieval towns and scattered villages
and summer pastures. From a primeval forest to a sea of stone
and the real sea. From seagulls to eagles, or vice versa...
Montenegro is a true pocket dictionary of various concepts,
experiences, emotions, scenes, opposites and
extremes. Small and densely packed, such is the situation
here – for the reason that the space itself is compressed,
with everything else that goes with it. Sudden
take-offs into the chilly heights and fast landings
onto the Mediterranean. Landscapes that change like
in a motion picture. Vistas that open up and run away
somewhere behind the wheels. Sublime adventures
through canyons, river and lake valleys, through the
shadows of coniferous forests, scattered villages and
summer pastures. Friction against the hidden, narrow
roads. Rolling through the augury of different sorts of
scents, through the rugged rocks in which the flowers
bloom and through the meadows from which bluffs of
flowers and grass stick out, and then, without rest or
warning, decorations of infinite widths and open seas,
which tease and move the senses...
There are so many things here, and, with a little patience,
it could all be ironed out to match the size of
a decent continent. Is this enough reason for you to
decide to go for a nice adventure of discovering Montenegro?
We hope so.
We wish you a pleasant journey along these roads and
plenty of unforgettable memories.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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...
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
