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

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

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.

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.
2. Introduction
In class our group have been planning a script for our 5 minute
radio news bulletin. In this powerpoint there is a draft of the
stories and what the reporter will say in the actual bulletin.
3. Story 1
(Story 1) Reporter: On Monday the Isle of Wight festival organizer 'John Giddings'
payed tribute to 69 year old, pop legend, David Bowie. Who died on the 10th after a
long battle with cancer. The artist first performed in 1965 at Ventnor on the Isle of
Wight and he returned in 2004 a household name, performing in Newport, Seaclose
park. The Isle of Wight organizer said:
"David Bowie was such an influence on many. It is hard to find a band these days which
have not been influenced by him in some way"
4. Story 2
(Story 2) Reporter: On Wednesday a young man was arrested for attempting to rob a
jewellers with a large kitchen knife. A witness said the youth was brought to the
ground outside Sandown jewellers, in the high street, after attempting to rob the shop
while carrying what appeared to be a nine-inch kitchen knife.
"I was driving along the high street and saw a van driver jump out and i ran over to help
another man with holding down a youth on the ground. I parked and went over to see if
I could help,l but they were ok"
The store said no-one was injured during the incident. Police have confirmed that a
17-year-old boy named Levi Bellamy has been arrested.
5. Story 3
(Story 3) Reporter: Police closed part of Pyle street in Newport last Wednesday
evening after a man was tasered following a domestic incident involving a stabbing.
The man had started smashing glass and becoming aggressive after receiving a stab
wound to the abdomen, he was then tasered by officers at 61 Pyle street, behind
BHS. Emergency services were called to the scene shortly after 17:00 Hampshire
Constabulary arrested the man in his 40's on suspicion of causing criminal damage
and he has been taken to St Mary's Hospital. Thankfully no one was seriously
injured.
6. Story 4
(Story 4) Reporter: Several arrests were made by police Tuesday night following a
serious assault on a young teenage girl outside McDonalds in Newport. Officers were
called to the scene at around 20 past 9 after the 16 year old female was assaulted by
a group of youths. The girl was knocked unconscious in the incident after being
kicked in the head. Paramedics from the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service rushed to
the scene and conveyed the teen to St Mary's Hospital. Meanwhile at least 2 people
were arrested on suspicion of assault. Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that a
16-year-old girl has been arrested with regards to the assault and is due to attend
Newport Police station with an adult.
7. Story 5
(Story 5) Reporter: Islanders looked on in shock as a car turned the wrong way down the
dual carriageway yesterday (Tuesday). The episode was caught on camera by Paul
Hewson, who posted the footage on Facebook with the title 'anything wrong here?'. It
has been viewed almost 50,000 times. Paul posted:
"I think everyone who saw it happening could not believe their eyes. Luckily there was no
one behind me and he escaped back down the slip road".
8. Story 6
(Story 6) Reporter: It was a day rife with red cards in the Sydenhams Premier
Division-and Lymington town's game at Folland sports was no exception. Three
players got their marching orders in Lymo's 2-1 victory in Hamble- Elliot Richards
and Rory Wood for the rock-bottom Planemakers and Brad Strickland for the
visitors. With four seeing red at Alresford and another three getting an early bath at
Verwood, Lymo boss John Pyatt can't help but think referees are overly keen to dish
the cards out.
9. Story 7
(Story 7) Reporter: There will be a little frost in the morning with a temperature as low
as -2 degrees, but will be clear for the afternoon with sunny spells and a little cloud.
For tonight we are expecting a low of 3 degrees and highs of 7.
10. Why we chose these stories?
Most news bulletin stories start with hard news to grab the audiences
attention, our stories are linked to our chosen target audience and what we
think they would like to know. We also chose this order because it ranks in
which stories we think are most important and what the audience should know
to soft light-hearted stories to make the overall news report not too depressing
as well as telling the audience what they need to know for example weather
and sport stories.
11. Who wrote the stories?
There are three people in our group including me. Sammy
(http://samgreenwood.blogspot.co.uk/) wrote the majority of the stories and I wrote
the sport and weather as our soft, light-hearted news stories. We decided to make
seven stories (five of which are the major ones) which was influenced by our research
as we want to know what are target audience like the most. We wanted to make our
stories quick but clear so it does not take to long to present them.
12. Rules of writing
When writing the script we made sure we linked it to our research so to
make sure our stories sounded suitable for our news bulletin we used the
‘rules of writing for a radio news bulletin’ to help us achieve this.
For example a main rule we used in all our hard news stories was rule 2 –
who, what, when, where and why as well as how this is used for most
story writing skills.
