The document discusses several artifacts from Philippine history and their cultural significance, including:
1) The tenenegre sword originating from Panay Island in the Visayas that can be purchased as an antique dating back to the 18th-19th century.
2) The Banton burial cloth from the 13th-14th centuries found in a cave in Romblon along with Ming dynasty ceramics.
3) Bahay na bato architecture originating in the Spanish colonial period as a hybrid style incorporating native Philippine, Spanish, and Chinese influences.
With a population of at least 99 million people, the Philippines is the seventh-most populated country in Asia and the 12th most populated country in the world.
Pompeii is undoubtedly one of the world's best known archaeological sites. Its fame comes from its dramatic destruction and extraordinary preservation as a result of an eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
For over 200 years now, we have been able to revisit the same moment in Pompeii's history, the moment it was fossilized as an archaeological site. Year after year, visitors have meandered through its alleys and moseyed through its buildings, but have always been tourists stuck in A.D. 79. Excavation below the level of the destruction has enabled us to move across time and throughout our insula's history--from that late August day in A.D. 79 back through the ages to the fourth century B.C. Perhaps even earlier. What were these bars before they were bars? When was this workshop built? Was this house here in the first century B.C.? In the second century B.C.? In the third? What did it look like? Excavation below the A.D. 79 level allows us to travel back in time and understand the whole history of VI,1 from that final August doomsday to the insula's first instance of human activity.

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
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.

Treasure,isjustapieceoftheblanketusedbyFilipinos

Bahay na bato(Tagalog, literally "house of stone") is a type of building
originating during the Philippines'Spanish Colonial period. It is an updated
version of thetraditional bahaykubo.Its designhasevolved throughouttheages,
but still maintains the bahay kubo's architectural basis which corresponds to
the tropical climate, stormy season, and earthquake-prone environment of the
whole archipelago of the Philippines and fuses it with the influence of Spanish
colonizers and Chinese traders. Thus created was a hybrid
of Austronesian, Spanish, and Chinesearchitecture with American influence
during the American era, supporting the fact that the Philippines is a result of
these cultures mixing together. Its most common appearance is that of an
elevated, overhanging wooden upper-storynipa hut (with balustrades,
ventanillas, and capiz shell sliding windows) that stands on Spanish-style solid
stone blocks or bricksand posts as foundation instead of
just wood, bamboo stilts, or timber posts. Roofing is either Chinese tiled roof
or thatch(nipa, sagopalm,orcogon),ofwhichmanytodayarebeingreplacedby
galvanized or other modern roofing. It followed the bahay kubo's arrangements
such as open ventilation and elevated apartments used as living space with the
ground floor used for storerooms, cellars, and other business purposes.
Likebahaykubo, muchofthis groundlevelwas reserved for storage;in business
districts, some spaces were rented to shops. Horses for carriages were housed

3. Archaeological discoveries let we as a species connect with our history: both
our recent and our ancient past. While historians can hypothesize and postulate
as tothe likelyconditions,cultures,anddaytodaylifeinbygone eras,the artifacts

to most human constructed artifacts. Because of the emotional significanceour

physical validations of our past.
Archaeological excavations, although over time they move huge amounts of
soil and other material, progress slowlyand deliberatelyin large part due to the
fragilenatureof the findsthey expecttouncover.Artifact preservationprocedures
begin even before the dig uncovers anything of value. When a miner finds

Long term artifact preservation and storage is also important to ensure that,

visible part of history for years to come.Hereagainclimate-controlledcasesand
