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
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.

Same throughout, bold colours. Bright/dark
colours can be interpreted as anger or a
certain attitude. For example, if I was to use
red, I would use it consistently throughout
and also make sure it stands out.
Close ups with
different angles.
For example, on
the front cover
there will be a

15-35 year olds. This is because the
magazine will be a weekly issue but
it will be affordable. This is
important because if the magazine
is not affordable then especially
teenagers may not be interested.
Star appeal and big artist. Furthermore,
there will also be a good variation of artist
in order to appeal to everyone. The
magazine will also contain its logo on each
page
Tune
RW magazine
12. Colour scheme/House Style
Firstly, the colour scheme for this magazine is red and white.
This is because these two colours complement each other
and also due to the meaning behind the colour red.
Furthermore the colour red connotes a feeling of energy
within this magazine and is also emotionally intense. This is
important as the function of this magazine is to update the
reader on current hip hop music and to help them develop a
passion for this type of music.
14. Inspiration slideMasthead
As you can see the
mast head has large
font and is bright in
colour. This is good
as it appeals to the
customers.
Main image
The main image on
this is also quite large.
This is good as the
magazine now has
star appeal which is
good for fans of
particular artists.
Furthermore the font
on the front cover is
also important as it is
easy to read and
therefore may stand
out even more.
Main headline
Another aspect I
based my magazine
off of is the main
headline. I though this
is good as it stands
out well. This is
important as my
magazine wouldn't’t
of been seen before
and is therefore
important that it
attracts the customers
attention.
18. Font style
PixelCaps!
My magazine font styles are inspired by XXL. This is because they are both quite
simple whilst also being big and bold. This is good because they will stand out
on the shelves and therefore customers may be drawn towards them.
Furthermore, this is also good as they are new magazines and may therefore
attract a lot of attention

22. Target audience
Hartley
I think the age range of my magazine would be between 15-40 years of age. This is because many teenagers start
getting into music at this age and it may be to pursue their dream. Furthermore, there are also many rappers who
are around or below the age of 40. therefore, I think that this is a suitable age range and that the majority of
people buying this magazine will be between this.
Maslow
I don’t think there is a particular class within this magazine however it may suit people who prefer the hip hop
genre. Furthermore this magazine will also be cheep and therefore everyone can afford it.
Katz’
I think my magazine would be to inform and educate the readers. This is because it will contain information about
the artists which is why they will be on the front cover. Also, my magazine will also contain information about the
upcoming tours of the artists and perhaps an interview to provide more personal information.
Socio-economic needs
I think my magazine will appeal to mostly students as they are the age group that most would
associate with being passionate about music. In terms of the socio-economic graph, I think that the
audience I am targeting would mostly fit into the E and D bracket. This is because there will be many
students who are interested in music and also buying my magazine.
25. Connotations behind the name.
• The connotations behind the name Tune firstly
represent the fact that within this magazine
you can find high quality music. Furthermore,
it also connotes that the magazine will be
music related considering it is called ‘TUNE’.
26. “Repeat” - Steve Neale(1980)
Tune/Rap Weekly
With my magazines I will firstly be
repeating t it is easily recognisable.
The logo on every page on the
magazine. This is important as it will
be a new magazine and therefore it
will be important for people to
recognise it. Secondly, there will be
various images on the front cover and
other pages. however., on the front
cover there will be a main stand out
image. This is good as it will have star
appeal and therefore could influence
customers to buy these magazines.
And I will finally make sure that the
logos of my magazines stand out. This
is important because they will
therefore be easy to see in stores and
it is also significant that it is easily
recognisable.
XXL
Firstly, XXL magazine have a a logo
which stands out. This is because
it has a bright red colour and bold
writing. This is good as it will stand
out to customers on the shelves of
stores. Furthermore this logo is
evident on every page of their
magazine which is important as
the customers will therefore
recognise who XXL are. Within the
magazine also contains double
page spreads and lots of images.
This is important because it gives
the readers an understanding of
who stars on the current issue of
the magazine and perhaps the
smaller articles within.

37. House style/Colour scheme
• The connotations of the my second magazine,
RW would be that it is a colour associated
with energy and freshness, therefore bringing
something different to the standard rap
magazine. This colour scheme also connotes
the ambition of this magazine to succeed and
become a well known name within the hip
hop/rap industry.

49. Connotations behind the name
• Firstly, RW stands for ‘Rap Weekly’. The connotations
behind this name would be that it brings you high
quality rap from various artists every week.
Furthermore it also connotes that the genre of the
magazine will be mainly ‘RAP’ and the publisher
wants to provide you weekly with the best articles,
interviews and DPS’ on various music information.
51. Advertising revenue
In my magazine I'm going to have 15 full page
advertisements, this means that I’m going to make
£45,375(15 x £3025)
Furthermore I'm also going to have 5 half page
advertisements, this means I'm going to make £7560
(5 x £1512)
Therefore, altogether from advertisements I'm going
to make £52,935 (£45,375 + £7560)
52. Printing quotes and costs
https://print24.com/uk/
I have decided to print 15,000 copies of this magazine
to start off with. There is also 28 pages per magazine
which includes four cover pages with artists featuring
on them. This magazine will also cost around 40p per
magazine which means it will also be making £1.50
per magazine.
54. Plan for the future
• For the future, I hope to continue to publish
my magazine and gain customers in order to
make revenue. This is important as it will then
help me to expand and sell my magazine
globally.
