Andrew Borden and his wife Abigail were murdered in their home in 1892. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was the prime suspect but was found not guilty at trial. While some physical evidence like a hatchet was presented, there was no definitive proof of Lizzie's guilt. The case received significant public attention due to Lizzie's gender and social class. To this day, opinions differ on whether justice was truly served.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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

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.

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.

2. The Crime
Andrew Borden, Lizzie
Borden’s father, and
Abigail Borden, Lizzie
Borden’s
stepmother, were
murdered by hatchet
to the head on August
4, 1892.
3. Investigation
Suspects
Lizzie Borden ( Daughter of Andrew
Borden)
A tall male intruder
Evidence found by police
No signs of force entry
A handless hatchet was found in the
tool box in the coal cellar
Days before the murder Lizzie Borden
attempted to purchase prussic acid
Lack of footprints in the dusty
barn, where Lizzie was supposed to be
during the murder
Arrest
Lizzie Borden was arrested for double
murder of her father and stepmother
4. Trial
Evidence used in court
The Handless Hatchet, which was clean of
substances and had a broken handle
The fact that she attempted to by prussic
acid prior to the murders
Defense
Lizzie’s testimony at the original inquest was
ruled inadmissible because of the morphine
prescribe by her doctor to help with her
mental illness
The morphine would cause confusion and
memory loss
Verdict
Not Guilty
5. Aftermath and Media
Afterwards
Lizzie returned to her life but everything was strained. Lizzie's relationships with
neighbors, family and friends were tense and filled with speculation of her
likely guilt. She never married.
She bought a new house with the money she inherited and remained in Fall
River
Public Opinion
There was a large amount of curiosity and intrigue with the case because:
She was a wealthy
She was a woman
She was being tried for murder
There were two types of public opinion: the working middle to lower class
and the higher class
The working class thought she was guilty and thought her wealth bought her
innocence, brought a lot of attention to the case
The higher class minded their business and stayed very quiet of the case, since
Andrew was of higher class they respected him as one of their own. It was a
“Hush, hush” sort of situation.
6. I Believe…
Were their any influences with the case?
I believe the way they handled the case was
influenced by her family's social class but not the
verdict. The prosecution could not find any physical or
rather any evidence at all that could concretely say
that Lizzie Borden murdered her parents. The United
States goes by innocent until proven guilty, and there
were not any evidence that could singularly say that
Lizzie Borden was guilty. One thing I do find skeptical is
the fact that the police did not want to use forensics to
analyze the hatchet. It may have made the case, but
we will never know. I do think that may have been
influenced my her family’s wealth.
7. I Believe…
The Verdict
Based upon the evidence provided and used, no, I do not think the
verdict was wrong. But without the evidence and just using speculation
and gut feelings, yes, I believe it was wrong. If they had found some sort
of physical evidence of her killing her parents, then the evidence
provided during the trial, like the fact that she tried to purchase prussic
acid, would be a sign of premeditation. She would have been
convicted of first degree murder! But since there was no evidence of
her killing her parents, we are just left with speculating and coming up
with theories of why she should would kill her parents and how she did it.
Lizzie didn't like her step-mother and was under the control of her father.
She had some motivation to kill and, if she murdered them, the
cleverness to impeccably cover her tracks was amazing.
