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.

2. To answer this question I am going to show the key steps when creating my front
cover page going over the key tools I used the most and the main editing involved. I
used two programmes which were Adobe Photoshop and Adobe In Design.

3. The first thing I did was edit the image to make it brighter and eye catching. By doing this it makes
my magazine more professional. I used Photoshop to do this. I did this by clicking on image, then
adjustments and brightness and contrast.

4. After I did this I experiment with different fonts on
Photoshop. Once I found one I liked I edited it by adding
stroke, colours, and changing the size etc… For the title of
my magazine I applied many effects which is shown below.

5. I used many different tools to construct my magazine one of which is called the crop tool. This
enabled me to get rid of any unwanted parts of my image. Once I had done this I could resize and
position it without losing any quality of the image. I also the free transform tool to change the size
of my image without distorting it.

6. Other key things I did when creating my front cover was positioning every to my liking and
keeping the layout as professional as I could. I used the rules of thirds when deciding where to
place things and I often had to use the resize tool and move tool to do this.
Rule of thirds.

7. I used the colour tool to pick the perfect colour I wanted to use.
Photoshop has a range of different colours I could choose from which was
a good thing when creating my front cover. I did this by clicking on this
tool.

8. I have learnt a lot about Adobe InDesign. For my induction magazine I did not make a double
page spread so I didn’t use InDesign at all. Therefore I feel like I have learnt the most from this
programme. It’s was fairly difficult to use at the beginning but I got use to it. I learnt many
new things such as drop caps, and organising text into columns. I also imported images and
text from Photoshop into this programme. My whole double page spread was created by this
and my front cover and contents was made on Photoshop.

9. To conclude before the production of my magazine I was fairly familiar on how to use
Adobe Photoshop as I have used in before and in the induction task. I did learn things
during the time making my front cover and contents page. Things such as shortcuts on
the key board to do things such as free transform allowed me to work productivity
and quicker. I have learnt many new effects which I didn’t know before and I learnt
how to organise layers. However I feel I have learnt the most from Adobe In Design as
I was new to it. While making my double page spread I found out some aspects of it
was similar to Adobe Photoshop but I also learnt many new things such as making the
correct dimensions when making my page, inserting text and images which was
different to Photoshop. I also learnt how to add drop caps, columns, edit images and
texts.
