This loan is designed to help 1st time home buyers and current homeowners obtain a home loan with only 3% equity in the home. If you are planning to buy a home then all you will need is 3% down. If you currently own a home, you may be able to refinance up to 97% of the home's value, so even if you are upside down you may be able to refinance your home now. The great thing about this 97% conventional loan is that all you need is a minimum FICO score of 620 to take advantage of it. Feel free to contact me with any questions and to help you get prequalified.

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.

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.

The purpose of this module is to compile a list of effective tips and strategies that can quickly help you
become more productive with your time.
The module is organized into several sections:
I. Studying Strategies – This section will go over general tips for studying.
II. Writing Papers – We know this is a big part of being productive.
III. General Strategies – Strategies for general activities such as email management.
IV. Productivity Tools – We will list some applications and tools that we use to build our productivity
habits.
As a caveat, we know that not all of our strategies will work for everyone. Please try to take the time to
discover the amalgamation of strategies that work for you.

Studying
Strategies
Carl
Writes:
1. One of your goals should be to make studying unnecessary. I mean this as in, you should cultivate the
discipline to pay such close attention in class and to tune in in such intensity that your brain naturally captures
most or all information such that the only studying left to do is to skim over material before a test. Of course,
this is difficult for most but we’re trying to help you get there. One way I think you can begin to discipline your
mind to that state is simply by practicing or engaging your knowledge soon after you’ve learned it. In my
CS class for example, right after I learn about the concepts in lecture I attempt to apply what I’ve learned to
things I already know. We recently covered the topic of recursion, and I just thought about how closely that ties
into the movie Inception. By doing so, I am forming more neural connections between concepts in my head,
leading to higher memory retention and better comprehension.
2. Take the initiative to seek help when you need it. There is no shame in asking seemingly ‘dumb’
questions. Those who judge you for asking questions about what you genuinely don’t know aren’t worth your
attention. It took me quite a long time before I learned this lesson.
3. Repetition or rote learning will only get you so far. You should truly understand the lesson and not simply
be able to memorize it. The reason behind this is simple – you build your intellectual capital base. Just as you
might have heard it is easy to make money when you have a lot of money, it is easier to get smarter when you
are already smart. The reason behind this is simply due to the fact that when you have an eager brain that
contains much knowledge, a new piece of information can fit snugly right in. Get smart now so that it’s easier
to get smarter later.

Firstly,
don't
try
to
force
anything.
If
you

about
leadership,
but
your
personal
experiences
can't
really
aPest
to
this
(really
hackneyed)
subject,
then
don't.
You
want
to
come
up
with
something
unique
and
representa-ve
of
your
capabili-es.
In
the
long
run,
we
all
get
-red
of
trying
to
write
something
we're
not.
And
then
we
just
can't.
And
then
comes
writers'
block.
College

-‐-‐Recall
and
chart
down
your
past
experiences.
Even
go
through
old
elementary
school
porYolios
or
middle

photos.
Recall
significant
conversa-ons
with
teachers,
parents,
friends.
By
synthesizing
these,
you'll
gain
clarity
for
how
your
life
has
illustrated
the
prompt.
And,
the
readers
will
know
that
you
are
actually
human,
not
just
a
resume.
-‐-‐When
asked
about
your
"goals,"
"ambi-ons,"
"aspira-ons,"
don't
immediately
think
about
a
career.
If
every
kid
your
age
was
thinking
about
careers
in
this
much
detail,
the
majority
of
them
would
be
lying.
Think
of
the
ques-on
this
way:
"what
is
your
mission
statement?"
Go
on
university
websites
for
examples
of
mission
statements.
What

great,
3

how
were
you
going
to

that
to
the
prompt
again?
Don't
be
afraid
to
use
sentences
that
sound
immature.
It's
just
your
outline.
This
is
not
what's
being
submiPed.
If
you
want,
use
sentences
like,
"A
indicates
B,
which
means
C,
which
is
like
point
D,
and
is
related
to
the
thesis
because
E..."
Makes
for
a
more
cohesive
paper.
A
very
beefy
outline
is
also
a
lot
less
daun-ng
to
write
than
an
actual
paper.
There's
a
sense
of
fluidity,
that
you
can
go
back,
screw
around
with
it,
and
write
without
erring.
Keep
the
fingers
tapping
out
the
ideas.
Let
your
brain
have
more
to
work
with
when
you
put
things
visibly
down
on
paper.
Having
a
really
strong
outline
also
makes
wri-ng
the
paper
seem
a
lot
easier,
almost
like

Planner:
I
thought
everyone
uses
planners..
but
apparently
that's
not
the
case.
For
me
a
planner
is
a
way
of
passing
memory
and
RAM,
as
Brandon
calls
it,
so
that
it
can
be
saved
for
other
stuff.

To-‐Do
Lists:
I
keep
a
structured
set
of
lists
through
my
iPhone
Notes.
It
used
to
be
on
this
neat
liPle
pad
that
someone
gave
me
but
I
went
through
so
much
paper
it
was
ridiculous.
But
anyway,
I
have
a
Current
To-‐Do
which
is
all
stuff
which
has
to
get
done
today,
followed
by
things
that
should
get
done
if
I
have
free
-me
that
day.
Then
there's
a
longer
term
to-‐do
list.
I
think
the
most
important
thing
is
get
in
the
habit
of
being
able
to
cross
things
out.
If
you
don't
start
and
get
into
the
system,
it
becomes
harder
and
harder
to
aPain
the
produc-vity
goals
you
want.
3.
Don't
put
off
small
tasks
if
you
can
do
them
at
that
moment.
If
there's
an
email
that
can
be
responded
to,
don't
mark
it
as
unread
and
say
you'll
"do
it
later".
Like
I
said
before,
cross
stuff
off
the
To-‐Do
lists
while
you
can.
4.
Along
those
lines,
everyone
has
to
find
a
way
to
fight
Facebook/TwiOer/etc.
Counterintui-vely,
for
me
it
was
to
have
them
always
open
along
with
Mail.
Firefox
has
this
neat
way
of
pinning
websites
you
always
use,
and
then
flashing
them
blue
when
they
update.
At
first,
it
was
addic-ng
to
check
but
now,
I've
become
bePer
at
ignoring
it
un-l
the
problem's
done
or
the
chapter's
finished.
Also,
with
them
constantly
up
(but
tucked
away
on
the
side),
I
don't
have
the
urge
to
open
a
tab
and
go

which
day
you
want
to
get
these
things
done,
so
that
each
day
you
have
a
todo
list
that
you
don't
have
to
look
at
un-l
that
day.
3.
Leave
room
for
unexpected
occurrences,
and
don't
get
upset
if
you
didn't
accomplish
everything
you
wanted
to
do.
4.
Remember
the
purpose
and
outcome
you're
gemng
out
of
comple-ng
a
task.
5.
Some-mes
produc-vity
means
cumng
out
tasks
that
you
shouldn't
be
doing.
Always
ques>on
every
single
task
and
ask
yourself
whether
it's
something
you
should
be
doing.
Some-mes
we
end
up
doing
things
that
don't
actually
contribute
to
anything!
6.
When
applicable,
see
if
you
can
leverage
someone
else's
skills
to
get
something
done
faster

Carl
Writes:
1.
Start
small
-‐
don't
try
to
accomplish
100
tasks
in
1
day
if
you
don't
have
to.
It
just
burns
you
out
and
makes
you
cynical
about
produc-vity.
2.
For
big
projects,
do
a
por>on
the
DAY
that
it's
assigned.
A
small
por-on,
but
more
than
just
a
symbolic
gesture.
For
many,
just
star-ng
is
the
difficult
part.
3.
Plan
things
out.
So
much
can
be
accomplished
when
you
plan
out
what
you
want
to
do
and
when
you
want
to
do
it.
We
have
a
tendency
to
think
vaguely
to
ourselves
“Oh
I’ll
do
it
tomorrow.”
Think
instead,
“I’ll
complete
the
Biology
homework
assignment
from
4PM
–
5PM
tomorrow.”
4.
Priori>ze.
It’s
very
important
to
do
so!
It
gives
you
a
sense
of
perspec-ve
of
what’s
important.
By
priori-zing
your
tasks
and
ranking/categorizing
them
in
terms
of
importance,
you
are
essen-ally
telling
your
mind
what
tasks
it
needs
to
concentrate
on.

Apps:
1.
Use
Google
Calendar
or
some
sort
of
calendar
to
keep
track
of
everything.
Especially
big
and
important
dates.
I
simply
cannot
emphasize
how
important
this
is.
By
keeping
a
calendar,
I
no
longer
forget
any
big
or
important
events.
I
even
put
the
deadlines
of
school
projects
down
and
have
periodic
reminders
to
ping
me!
This
has
been
an
immense
help
to
me.
2.
I
use
Boomerrang
(Gmail
Plugin)
to
keep
track
of
emails
that
I
have
to
follow
up
on
and
send.
3.
No>fyMe
-‐
Cell
phone
reminder
tool.
It's
5$
but
there's
other
ways
to
get
it
for
free
(hint
hint).
4.
I've
used
TaskPaper,
Todoist,
Things,
Omnifocus,
Wunderlist
Rememberthemilk
and
much
more.
All
are
kinda
meh.
I've
stuck
with
Taskpaper
for
now
because
it's
by
far
the
most
flexible.
These
don't
solve
the
problem
of
produc-vity.
They're
just
tools.
Buying
amazing
running
shoes
doesn't
help
you
use
weight
if
you
don't
use
them
in
an
effec-ve
manner.
Don’t
mistake
the
tools
for
what
the
tools
are
supposed
to
help
you
do.
5.
Check
out
Self-‐Control
if
you
have
a
Macbook.
It’s
a
website
blocking
app
that
can
keep
your
Facebook/Reddit/TwiPer/Whatever
urges
under
control.

In summary, these are all some of the techniques and tools that have helped us become more productive. It
does not mean that these are the right tools for you. Find your own mix of strategies and systems that help you
become more efficient. Take what value you can from our advice and craft something out of it.
Keep in mind that one of the hardest parts of becoming more productive is finding the willpower to even truly
want to. That means being able to watch less TV, use less FB, stop playing games etc. so that you can
accomplish and achieve more in life.
The best way to build up this willpower, and you definitely can do it, is by changing your habits slowly but
surely. Start small, with just one unproductive thing that you do, and cut it down by 10%. Increase every other
day by a little bit more until you have a firm grasp on it and rinse and repeat for all your other wasteful habits.
We, as your mentors, can only guide you to see the paths that we’ve walked in our lives. It is important for you
to also discover your own.
And we all believe that you can find it.
Cheers,
Carl, Kavya, Brandon, Betsy and Varun
