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 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.

1. Recent Prehistory
Neolithic The Metal Age
Chronology ca 10.000 B.C to 4.000 B.C ca 4000 to 750 BC
CLIMATE In this period, the climate changed, becoming warmer. New species of
plants appeared: barley and wild wheat in the Middle East and Europe,
millet and rice in Asia, corn, sunflowers and potatoes in America.
The climate was mild and there were large forests.
LIFESTYLE PRODUCERS, they did not just consume nature’s products, they also
produced them.
They started farming and keeping livestock.
Bartering (the exchange of products among different groups) appeared.
The lived off agriculture, livestock and trade.
Where did
they live?
They became sedentary.
They built the first permanent settlements made of circular or
rectangular dwellings.
They lived in permanent settlements, which were generally walled.
Dwellings were circular or rectangular and normally had a stone base, wooden or adobe walls, and roofs made
of thatch and branches.
What was
society like?
In the settlements, people did different activities or jobs. This kind of
organisation is called division of labour.
Some activities were: working in agriculture, keeping livestock, and
hunting, building, basket-making, cloth-making, defence, spinning and
weaving.
Work became specialized, which led to the appearance of different social groups.
Metal became a symbol of wealth.
There was conflict and war.
Settlements possessing metal weapons gained power over those that did not have any.
Combats in horse-drawn chariots also began.
Skills and
tools
Stonework: polished stone, wooden handles were added to existing
stone tools.
There were wooden ploughs for tilling the land, scythes for cutting the
grass, and axes.
They used vegetables fibres to weave baskets; they began to make cloth
with linen, cotton, wool and plant fibre, like jute,.
They learnt to make pots; they used them to store and cook food.
Metalworking: They extracted the ore with Stone picks, then it was smelted in an oven and left to cool. After
that it was smelted again and finally it was poured into a mould in the shape of the required object.
Copper Age.
Bronze Age (Bronze is an alloy, (ăl′oi′), of copper and tin). Alloy: combination, mixture of two or more metals.
Iron Age.
New tools were invented liKe farming instruments: hoes, sickles and ploughs. (plou)
The wheel and the sail were invented, so there are new forms of transport.
Art Rock painting was another form of art, either in the open air or in shallow
caves.
Paintings were more schematic and included only the main features of
the object. They used one colour
The paintings showed hunting scenes, food gathering and ritual dances;
some of them probably had religious significance associated with fertility
rites of the land.
Ceramic pots were elaborately painted and decorated.
They also made funeral idols from stone and bone.
Megaliths: huge monuments formed with stones of great size.
Menhirs or standing stones are single blocks of stone standing upright
Cromlech or stone circles consist of lots of stones arranged in a circle; if they form a line, they are called
alignement. They used it for religious ceremonies, or for looking at the sun and the stars.
Dolmens are collective tombs consisting of two or more upright stones with a capstone, believed to have been
buried in earth except for a central opening. Some of them have a passage grave.
Schematic painting on rocks and in caves, often in red and black.
Religion They believed in spirits. They worshipped the dead, who were buried
with their personal possessions ( pots, jewels, tools…)
They worshipped the forces of nature, such as the Sun , and gods in the shape of animals (bulls or horses).
