This document summarizes a student project visiting the Francisco I. Madero Community Center. The students interviewed the center's administrator, Rocio Ariel Segura, to understand the purpose and functions of the community center. It provides services like medical consultations, workshops, and activities for neighborhood residents. While functioning for 6 months, the administrator noted there is still room for improvement. The students will conduct a poll with neighbors to identify priority issues to find solutions for through their project.

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.

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.

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.

2. I. Introduction
The course Democracy and Citizen Engagement takes on the comprehension of how society members get involved in those commonly ignored behavior patterns that make it the way it is. Once the citizen understands the basics, he/she can get involved in further activities related with the democratic spectrum, such as: decision making, participation and any kind of passive or active involvement.
For this project our team was assigned to visit a Community Center in the Francisco I. Madero neighborhood. The project itself was a surprise, we had never even heard about the existence of places along the lines of this one, we did have an idea that there were centers of support for the community, but we´d always conceived them just as temporary and with few impact. Nevertheless, this project gave us the opportunity to change our minds, therefore, also to apply and improve our knowledge through the activity.
Why is this project important? Because of the fact that we live in a society were cooperation is crucial. Cooperation is the key to overcome the struggles this city have. It is known that centers of support are located in places which need attention and have deficits of some kind, we start this job starting from this supposition. The objective is to find and propose a measure that could be used to improve the way things are done in the Community Centers. Whether advice or a specific measure, it all is going to be presented in the present writing.
For the realization of this project, there is a set of points to achieve in order to make it functional and realistic. The methods to work on this activity were born from planning and preventing the possible scenarios that could hit reality. Basically part of this setting up list had to do with the act of locating the place and making an effort to gather as a team to visit it together. For this, a previous investigation was made. It is interesting to know, and in consequence to express in this paper that there is no such thing as information available on the web to reach these places. The only dependence available for support is the City Council, medium used to get the contact information.
3. Francisco I. Madero Community Center
Commonly called the “Francisco I. Madero penal” neighborhood due to its closeness with the preadaptation center of the city has this Community Center within its streets:
When we arrived the center was closed. In the image below, a picture of an outside board showing the place´s activities is shown:
4. Later, when the community center was opened, we headed ourselves with who looked to be the place´s administrator, and so she was. The Community Center`s administrator is a woman called Rocio Ariel Segura. We introduced ourselves as students from ITESM and explained Rocio the purpose of our visit, to which she friendly agreed as to take our interview and respond any question and matter of our investigation.
Rocio is shown in the image.
There are four principal questions which need to be responded as this project flows (we got the answers from Rocio, the head of the center). It is also important to present the background of the Community Center, further information and useful data for our project. It all is presented next:
What is a community center?
A place where service and attention is given to the community in matter of necessities such as public, health, and social ones.
What is its purpose?
To provide a space for people from all ages to unite them, and expand this union to more neighborhoods, in order to help an amount from 8 to 10 colonies. They intend that everyone in the community attends the space to fully use the benefits it provides.
5. How does it work?
People from around the neighborhood and far beyond can assist to take workshops and realize activities such as sports, dancing, handcrafting,
Why is it there?
Madero´s center has been there for a long time. Nevertheless, since the new administration it has fully worked to satisfy the needs of the people from around. Before it was used just to attend social events.
The “Communitarian Center Madero” has been operating since April sixth, controlled by the new Municipal administration. Asking Rocio about whether it was in an optimal level or not, she responded it takes on the philosophy of continual improvement to develop. Continuing our research, we needed to make somehow clear and feel tangible all the ideas and points of the center, that´s why Rocio was asked to define her project as in a short/medium/large term; in answer we got that it is intended to be as a source of “little council” for the people, specifically as the medium to exercise their political and social matters.
How does it helps the community?
When it came the moment to ask Rocio what activities does the community, she didn´t hesitated about it. It appears that “Communitarian Center Madero” provides the neighbors with medical service that include the assistant from doctors to make medical consultation, a completely free service; it also includes the medication when possible. According to the administrator, it helps to the ones that can´t make it to the medical centers due to different factors (economically, closeness to centers, commodity). Some of the medical services they try to cover are: pediatricians, general practitioner, optometrist, among others; and depending of the neighbors most needs. In Saltillo there are some others “Communitarian Centers” that already have their own pharmacies to allow the neighbors to have a better medical assistance. The plan for all the “Communitarian Centers”, including the “Communitarian Center Madero”, is to have their own capacities to supply the medicines they need.
6. Is it fully functional?
Even though it has been active for 6 months, the “Communitarian Center Madero” is working in full capacity of employees, but even the administrator says it could be improved, as it a project that continues to develop during its running. This opens the possibly for us to start to investigate what are the affliction of the neighbors, to know where and how implement a theoretical solutions.
II. The Problem Statement
As the first step of the work, we have an agreement with the administrator Rocio Segura for an appointment during the next week so we can have an interaction with some of the neighbors, and we can state the project to them in a better and efficient way.
The next step will be the approached to the neighbors. We are going to submit a poll to them so they can try to explain in a better way what they think are the afflictions that need solutions, and they will be choosing from all the ideas they’ll propose the one they select as the priority to them.
