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 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

3. To aid me with the design of my own college magazine I searched online for similar projects. In this part I am going to explain the main features of the magazines and what I find attractive or unattractive about them.
4. This series of college magazines originate from a college in America and are on sale in the campus. I personally do not think the design of these magazines is very professional. The text used for all the examples is very basic and the layout is not exactly original. The photography and model work however does look very professional but to me it does not really symbolise the contents shown on the cover. I personally do not find this magazine very eye grabbing as all the designs are bland. The contents shown on the main cover of these magazines does touch on some important issues which would be similar throughout the world.
5. To me this resembles the typical college magazine you would expect to see in any college across the country. The photo used is the stereotypical ‘nice’ image of happy students smiling. I feel this image is very fake and does not really show a true representation of college students. The colours of the magazine are bright and nice to look at and would grab your attention. The lack of text covering the image places more emphasis on the image itself rather than the contents of the magazine.
6. In my opinion this magazine is put together very well. The picture used not only represents a typical student but also incorporates the content of the magazine (Globe in the content and at the bottom right of the photo). I personally like the picture at the bottom left of the magazine and how it is laid out. As it is put on top of the blue background it stands out more and also almost comes out at you due to the use of shadow behind the image. This layout is something I would look at using in my own college magazine.
7. This example of a college magazine is actually take from an AS Media student from last year which I found on their blog. I am using this as an example of what I do not want my magazine to look like. I personally think that this attempt to make a magazine is really unprofessional and does not look attractive at all.
8. This magazine is an example of one of the magazines that gave me the inspiration to create my final magazine idea. I feel this style of magazine design is much more attractive to students than any of the examples I have provided. This is because this music magazine is purposely designed for a younger target audience.
11. This is my first sketch of my magazine. I changed the design a lot throughout development as some parts did not fit with the theme of the magazine. I removed the ‘win tickets’ part as I found this difficult to make and also unattractive. I also removed the ‘free local gig guide’ part as this also did not fit with the theme.
12. First of all I chose this to be my front covers image as the positioning of the guitar and arm seemed ideal for use of on a magazine. The image also set the theme for the magazine, College Life and Events.
13. I then cut around the person and cut the image out in order to use the image alone.
14. I then changed the entire picture pink as I felt this would represent a ‘Punky’/ ‘Teen’ music scene. The black stripe at the top was not originally there at this stage but I needed a screenshot.
15. I then inserted the masthead using a font I chose from Dafont.com. I used the drop shadow feature to create a shadow of the image in a red colour.
16. Next I inserted the barcode to the bottom right hand corner.
17. Then I added a black shape to be used as a box for the cover line. I think the box stands out due to the contrast between the pink and Black.
18. Then I filled the black box with a cover line and then added a pink line underneath the text to make it stand out more.
19. Next I inserted the selling line/dateline in the same format as I used for the cover line. The selling line describes the main theme of the magazine.
20. I then added another cover line at the bottom in the same style as the others. This includes other items included in the magazine which may attract a reader.
21. I then inserted a text box from Photoshop and wrote my main cover line. I made this bold to bring attention to the main issue of the magazine.
22. Next I added more cover lines on the left hand of the magazine to fill some of the left third.
23. Finally I added another cover line with a quote as I thought this would appeal to a reader who is in The same situation.
25. Firstly I changed the background colour black and then inserted a pink box over the top. This is a reversal of the colours used in the front cover which creates a link between the two.
26. I then added the title of the page (contents) using the same font from Dafont.com as I used in the main cover. This again creates a link between the two.
27. The next step was to add the page contents. For this I cut and pasted the titles from Dafont.com and placed them at the top of a white box placed at an angle. Then I used a text box to add the page contents.
30. I then added a picture of the band which was featured on the cover. I changed the colour to match the pink theme of the magazine. I also added a copy of the masthead to the bottom of the page.
31. Finally I added a similar style picture to the right hand side to fill in the remaining space and continue the theme of the magazine. This image also makes it clearer to see the copy of the masthead at the bottom of the page.
