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. HOW DID YOU USE MEDIA TECHNOLOGIES WITH THE
CONSTUCTION, RESEARCH, PLANNING AND EVALUATION
STAGES?
Section A:
The first examples of new media I used for my research and planning are the websites YouTube and imbd. When
using YouTube I was able to search for other horror trailers to gain ideas and influences for when I made my own
trailer. Examples of trailers I viewed and found useful were where ‘Mama’
This particular trailer influenced my main product as I tried to remake the psychological
style of it, the trailer builds up tension effectively and the narrative is put across in a
slowly building, teasing manner. I found the use of young children a clever aspect as
they usually represent innocence; however when placed into a horror trailer, this goes
against the stereotypical representation and makes us feel uneasy.
Another trailer which I drew ideas from was ‘Silent Hill’. In this trailer, I was drawn to
the image used for the young girl, with her jet black hair and pale white face. This use
of mise-en-scene created a washed out, unearthly feeling. The use of flickering lights
as the man and woman are standing in the house was also a clever technique as it
creates panic and uncertainty as to what is happening. I consciously replicated this
into my own trailer as I thought it was an effective technique.
Imdb was useful for other reasons. Firstly, it gave me information in order to make sure
both my research and planning was accurate. It allowed me to search via the horror genre,
as well as making the plot lines clearer and being able to see the directors and auteurs
who were involved in making them. This helped me explore certain directors, such as
Christophe Gans, who made Silent Hill but also Brotherhood of the Wolf. On the internet I
searched and looked at many horror poster’s and magazines to understand how to make
the products, and I also found typical horror images to add into my horror mood board to
try and get across the style and my ideas for the horror trailer I was making.

Section B:
The media technologies I used for the
construction of my products consisted of
Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and Adobe After
Effects Pro C56. Photoshop was used for the
creation of my ancillary products. This software
enabled me to use many editing tools such as
cropping, merging, manipulating images with
eraser and blur tools, and adding in layers to
create certain desired effects. With the crop tool
I could take text from dafont and add it into both
my poster and magazine.
is used to make the text pop out more on the page and to give it an
added shining effect.
Within the magazine,
layering allowed me to
place a subtle skull image
behind the director’s face
and also layer the text so
that it placed behind the
image of the director. My final ancillary products
had over ten layers of effects, images and text.
The eraser was useful in cutting out
the main signifying images making it
quick and easy and not taking up too
much time. Within the poster I used
the blur tool for the ‘coming soon’
text. It has two layers and in the
back one a blur effect
With Adobe Premiere the main
focus was the construction of the
horror trailer. Within the software I
could cut pieces of footage to
certain sizes, manipulate the
colours of shots using contrast
and brightness, reverse shots for
supernatural moments and also
including music. Some of the footage was quite
lengthy so we cut shots down to
the majority of 1-3 seconds, the
lighting was not always consistent
throughout so we altered this
through the contrast and
brightness tools to give a regular
look. Shots such as the hair
movement and Joe being dragged
up the stairs were all done by
reverse shots (using the speed/duration button and
then
typing -100) and then manipulating the speed. I was
able to add in copyright and royalty free music found
on YouTube on this software and alter it in a ways
such as speeding it up and slowing it down. We also
reversed some of the music in the jump scare at the
end to add a distorted sound.
4. Continued…
Section C:
At the final stage of my trailer, I also used media technologies to help me in the evaluation of my
products. The most vital one was Blogger which allowed me to save information in the “cloud” online
and also made it visible to other people. This led into other social networking
websites such as Facebook and putting the rough cut of the trailer onto YouTube. I had to set up blogger
account and once I had done this I was able to post my work onto a blog. Each post was labelled under a
section depending on what area of the work it was.
As you are able to see in this
print screen the orange text is
the labels and the blue text is
the title of the blog post.
Facebook was helpful in gaining feedback from friends, and they gave insight into what they liked and also
what I could do to improve my products. Once I had shown the rough cut of my trailer to the class, it was
then uploaded onto YouTube. Here people were able to view my trailer and offer their opinions about it. We
also had an evaluation screening where people would contribute their opinions about the trailer once they
had watched it in class. This was filmed so we were able to look back at the evaluation, again providing a
digital record of an actual event that we could refer back to whenever we wanted.
