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
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

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.
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.

Question 4 how did you use media technologies
1. Question 4- How did you use media
technologies in the construction
and research, planning and
evaluation stages?
2. Planning
WhatsApp –This was extremely helpful for our group. We created a conference group
and spoke about ideas, updates and tasks which needed to be completed. We also sent
images, trailers, audio notes and production work to each other. Due to our clashing
timetables within school, WhatsApp made it easier for us to communicate as a group and
share our ideas.
Skype – We used Skype for important discussions. Similar
to WhatsApp we shared our ideas and thoughts about our
production work and research. This was extremely helpful
as we saved time in our production timetable and could
focus on producing and filming our product rather than
planning and researching.
3. Research
• Internet and search engine sites – Search engines such as Google and Yahoo
allowed us to access a wide range of media texts for our product research. It also
helped us gain ideas for our own print work. Using the internet was fast and
accessible. While researching we could access a range of media texts on the internet
from my IPod and mobile phone, this made is easier for me to share my ideas and
compare them with other media products.
5. YouTube
YouTube was extremely helpful in researching
and constructing our product. We searched
trailers and movie clips on YouTube and
embedded them on our blog and product
research. YouTube also helped greatly with our
print work. Due to my occasional use of
Photoshop, I wasn’t very confident in
constructing our print work. Issues such as
using the quick selection tool were solved
through YouTube Photoshop tutorials. While
watching a variety of tutorials I learnt about
Hue and Saturation effects which allowed me
to change the colour of my main image from
brown to green. This was significantly important
as while planning we found it difficult to find a
distinctive eye colour for our main image.
6. iMovie
iMovie 11 played a significant part in the construction of our
product. iMovie was easy and simple to use, the new software
presented us with a variety of transitions and editing options.
While constructing our trailer we uploaded different versions of
our trailer onto YouTube and shared it with our friends, family
and teachers in order to receive detailed feedback. iMovie
made this easy and simple for us to upload straight onto
networking sites.
Initially we created our voice over on Garage band but we
weren’t pleased with the outcome as the voice-over didn’t
correspond with the scenes within our trailer. The ‘mike’ button
on iMovie allowed us to record our voice-over while our trailer
played, which allowed the script to correspond with the action
within the scenes.
7. Prezi
Prezi – I used this to construct my product research, it was easy and reliable. It
allowed me to brainstorm my ideas and add hyperlinks and images. A great
advantage of using Prezi is the route creation which allowed my ideas to link
together. While filming our product Prezi was easily accessible from our mobile
phones and allowed my group and myself to look back on conventions of horror
movies and implement them within our own work.
PC Tablet
PC Tablet – The
typography of our film was
inspired by the Uninvited
film poster. We used a PC
tablet to handwrite our title.
8. Photoshop
• Photoshop – Initially I was nervous about using Photoshop to construct our print
work, as I found it extremely complicated. The issues I encountered were regarding
the different layers and how to access and unlock them. I also found it difficult to fade
images into the background. However, with the help of YouTube videos and internet
sites I gradually gained a better understanding of how to use the tools and functions
on Photoshop. Initially our main image was of a brown eye, however the hue and
saturation tool allowed us to change the colour of our main mage to a green eye,
which connoted evil and jealously which directly linked with our narrative.
9. Mini DV camera
While filming my AS production I used a Sony HDR camera. We found it slightly
difficult uploading our scenes because we had issues with the memory card. This
year however, we used a mini DV camera. Having an built in memory made it easier
to upload our footage on Mac computer. We arranged our scenes to be filmed in
segments so we wanted to upload our footage straight away, the new cameras made
it easier for us to upload our scenes.
10. Digital DSLR
For my print work, I used a Digital DSLR. The high quality of the camera made the
images easier to manipulate on Photoshop. Using a digital camera was easy
and reliable as our images could be uploaded to any computer by using the
memory card.
