Rose Marie Arenas is a Manila socialite and former Philippine politician who served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives from 2018 to 2022. In the 1990s, she garnered public attention when reports emerged of a past intimate relationship with then-President Fidel Ramos. While Ramos did not deny the reports, the relationship had no visible impact on his presidency. Arenas later attempted to leverage her newfound fame into a political career, running for Senate in 1995 and the House of Representatives in 1998. She has also engaged in significant philanthropic work and helped bring Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti to perform in Manila.

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.
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.
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

2. • Rose Marie "Baby" Bosch Jimenez Arenas (born December
10, 1940) is a Manila socialite who featured prominently in the
political scene of the Philippines in the 1990s. She was
relatively unknown until 1993, when the Philippine Daily
Inquirer reported that she had a past intimate relationship with
the then-Philippine President Fidel V. Ramos.[2] The scandal
grew when within days after the revelation, the Philippine
Securities and Exchange Commission ruled against the owners
of the Philippine Daily Inquirer in a dispute involving one-third of
the stock ownership of the newspaper. It was widely reported
that the adverse ruling came about due to presidential
displeasure over the report, although no concrete proof of such
ever emerged.
Rose Marie Arenas
3. • President Fidel Ramos never publicly acknowledged a past
relationship with Ms. Arenas, although neither did he emphatically
deny the report. The scandal, though widely reported at that time,
had no visible impact on the Ramos presidency, and quickly passed.
For her part, Ms. Arenas attempted to parlay her unexpected fame
into electoral victory, running for the Philippine Senate in 1995 and
for the House of Representatives in 1998.
• Ms. Arenas is also known for her considerable philanthropic efforts
and support for the arts. She famously convinced the
legendary Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti to perform in Manila for the
first time.
• Arenas' daughter, Rachel, was the incumbent representative
of Pangasinan's 3rd district. She was set to run unopposed in
the 2013 elections but gave way to her mother.[3]
• She is served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of
the Philippines from 2018 to 2022.
4. • Arenas was born Rose Marie Bosch Jimenez in 1938 in
Malasiqui, Pangasinan. Her parents were Alfredo Jimenez, an
accountant at the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and a
member of a modestly rich family from Makati; and Remedios
Bosch, an opera singer and a music professor at the University
of the East (UE). Her father was known as the disciplinarian in
the family while her mother influenced her love for charity work,
culture, and the performing arts. Due in part to her well-
connected mother who sang in the prestigious opera galas in
Manila and abroad, Arenas was exposed early to Manila's high
society.
Early and Personal life
5. • Her strict upbringing resulted in an almost planned life during
her formative years. She took up piano and voice lessons when
she was a child; an obvious consequence of her mother's
profession and passion. In college, her father insisted that she
take up accountancy at the University of Santo Tomas (UST);
again, following the footsteps of her father. Throughout her
student years, she was not allowed to go out with friends, to
have a boyfriend, or to enjoy life the way other teenagers of her
time did. She led a life that had a very definite pattern – home-
school-home.
6. • Discipline was so stern in the young life of Arenas that it
was almost ironic that she was allowed by her parents
to become a professional model. For three years during
the 1960s, she modelled for some of the leading stores
and designers in the Philippines. She was even allowed
to join the Miss Philippines pageant– convincing her
parents that the proceeds of the event would go to
charity – and even became a finalist in the event.
7. • The choice of her husband was also the result of parental influence
in her personal life. After graduating from college, her parents
arranged her wedding to Ramon Arenas, a businessman engaged in
the shipping industry. Ramon's mother is the very wealthy Doña
Julieta Hofileña Lopez, sister to industrialist Don Eugenio Hofileña
Lopez (ex-owner of Meralco, Negros Navigation, ABS-CBN) and
former Vice President Fernando Lopez (owner of the University of
Iloilo). The López family of Iloilo were one of the wealthiest clans in
the Philippines. Although an adopted child, Doña Julieta was the only
daughter of Doña Presentacion Hofileña and as such was an equal
beneficiary of all the Lopez assets and haciendas when Doña
Presentacion and her husband died. As the favorite daughter-in-law
of Doña Julieta who inherited much of her own heirloom jewelry, this
may explain why Arenas is one of the very few females outside of
the tightly knit Lopez clan to own such select Philippine jewel sets.
8. • Although Baby and Ramon had five children
(John, Christopher, Ramoncito, Maria Rachel,
and Roberto), the two eventually separated and
she never married again.
• From her 3 Children, She received 10
grandchildren (Marga, John, Martin, Therese,
John Francis, Michael, Andrea, Sebastian,
Joaquin Alfonso, and Christopher jr.)
9. • Arenas is an effective businesswoman. Although she
was a Blue Lady of Imelda Marcos, much of her wealth
came before her association with the Philippine first
lady. From her husband Ramon she received numerous
houses in Forbes Park and Dasmariñas Village on top
of priceless jewelry and personal effects from her
mother-in-law. After 1986 and essentially on her own,
Arenas dabbled into supplying the Philippine Military
with footwear and other essentials, adding more to her
family's assets on her own stewardship.
