The song "No Church in the Wild" has ambiguous lyrics that are open to interpretation. The title suggests that religious institutions are unnecessary human constructs that do not exist in nature. The music video depicts a confrontation between riot police and young rioters in a city setting. It features dramatic shots of sculptures overlooking the chaos, representing the elite approving of the violence. At the end of the video, the rioters and police have not clearly won or lost, suggesting the status quo is preserved. An elephant appears as a reminder that society is truly the "wild" place where people act on basic instincts and the strongest survive. In this environment without religion, there is only the violence overlooked by the puppet masters pulling strings on both sides.

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
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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. No church in the wild – Kanye
West
By Matt Morphy
2. ‘No Church in the Wild’ has some interesting implications. The lyrics are up for
interpretation, the title of the song itself is a figurative way of saying that
religious institutions such as the Church are unnecessary human constructs
that are not found in nature which is interesting as the whole video is set in
some sort of city of town and there is no sign of wild life or trees or anything
like that.
3. The video starts off with a guy lighting up a
Molotov cocktail whilst walking done a
street, in front of him are riot police.
Shortly after we are rite in the middle of a
confrontation between police in riot gear
and young rioters. There is no explanation
and the rioters have been given no noble
cause to defend, even if they do, the
viewer is not made aware of it, this to me
reminds me of the news and how people
are shown senseless violence.
The video features several other dramatic
shots of sculptures. Sculptures are often
used for symbolism, in the context of this
video, showing these stone monuments
implacably overlooking the chaos that is
happening on the street level is a reminder
that the elite are seeing this and approving
of it as they are the ones that are
responsible of the making of these
sculptures in the first place.
4. Later on in the video, it turns night time and strobe lights appear, the kind you
usually see in clubs or raves, these events are associated with young people and its
seems that they are being omitted by the rioters, this might suggest that it is the
youth fighting against the police with may represent the government.
At the end of the video nobody truly wins or loses. Rioters fight back and appear
triumphant while police still stand their ground. In other words, nothing has changed
and status quo is preserved. An elephant make an appearance in the street
reminding the viewers that the ‘wild’ in question is in fact society, where people act
like animals and the strongest one wins, survival of the fittest in other words. In this
wilderness, there is no Church, no respite from the savagery, just the stone gaze of
statues overlooking the violence. These sculptures represent the puppet masters,
those who pull the strings on both sides in order to advance their agenda of a more
controlled and repressive society.
