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. RESEARCH
Romance films are based around the passion and emotion of two or more
people. The films are based around the characters journey to find true and
pure love. Typically the characters are faced with obstacles such as illness,
family that disapprove of their love and other forms of discrimination.
Romantic films often explore the themes of love at first sight, obsessive love,
forbidden love and tragic love. In the end the two characters manage to over
come their difficulties and experience a “happily ever after”.
There are different types of romance films such as: romantic drama, chick
flick, romantic comedies, romantic action comedies and romantic thriller each
with their own different conventions.
4. (Present day) A young girl gets set a
history project in which she has to
write about someone from the past.
She finds a diary in a library written
by a girl of a similar age and begins
to read it. The diary contains a love
story of a young girl who falls in love
with a solider who has to go off to
war. The story of the girl in the diary
will parallel and have a similar story
to the girl reading the diary in
present day.
American style - Set just before the
male character leaves high school. He
is friends with the older brother of
the main girl character and begins to
spend more and more time with her
even though they dislike each other.
Eventually they grow closer and fall
in love. The older brother is
disapproving of them and tries to
break them up.
PLOT IDEAS
5. SOUNDTRACK IDEAS
An example of one of the soundtrack’s I would like mine
to be similar to is The Fault In Our Stars. Each song had a
significant meaning in the film and related to the plot and
genre. I would like my soundtrack to also create the same
meaning and emotion when people listen to it.
This is a very different example of a soundtrack as the
music on this album is all the different scores used within
the film. Although the music has no words it still crates a
specific meaning which tells the audience that it is a
romance film. Within my trailer I would like to use a
similar score of relaxing and soothing music which will set
the mood of the film.
6. LOCATIONS
Each of these locations will create the atmosphere to show the audience that this is a typical
romance film. They are also important to one of my plot ideas as the story will be told from
the point of view of a girl in a library. These locations are realistic possibilities as they are
accessible and local. In most romance films they are used specifically for main points in the
plot. For example in ‘About Time’ the main characters meet in a restaurant so that setting was
significant in their relationship. I hope to create the same meaning in my trailer
7. DIRECTION
Cinematography – A lot of close up shots will be used to show the emotion
of the characters and their reactions to situations in the trailer. Eye level shots
to show the realistic sense and so the audience can relate to the characters.
Two shots to show the closeness of the main characters and to give the
audience a sense of their relationship
Editing – The editing transitions that will be used are fade to white and
dissolve to show the passing of time and the parallel of the narratives.
Lingering shots on the couple and the settings will be used to give the
audience a sense of the romance within the trailer
8. ANCILLARY TASKS
Using plot 1 I have come up with the idea that for my film poster I will use a
photo of the young girl reading or holding the diary and then a silhouette of
the couple faded out of the diary. The main colours of the poster will be
oranges and yellows to give the effect of the narrative being set in the
past/war times.
For plot idea two I will have the two main characters close to each other to
show they don’t want to be apart. The colours will mainly include red and
whites so that it shows the innocence of the main character.
9. WHAT IS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE
• Camera - To record all the clips and scenes needed to create the trailer
• Camera recording skills – This skills will needed to be developed and
learned so that the camera work is steady and in focus
• Garage band – Used to create and record any sounds needed within the
trailer
• Final cut pro – To edit the clips and sounds together to create the final
trailer
• Suitable Actors/Actresses – Depending on the plot idea certain looking
actors will be needed to set the atmosphere of the film
• Appropriate sounds – These can be recorded using a recorded in a
museum or memorial space to create an authentic sound
