The document discusses the history of French settlement in North America, specifically focusing on the Iroquois Confederacy and French America. It describes the Iroquois tribes located in what is now upstate New York and their role in the fur trade. It then outlines the establishment of New France by the French in the St. Lawrence Valley and later colonies in Louisiana and across 15 U.S. states. Finally, it notes the influence of French Protestant refugees and French Canadian immigrants on early American society and industries.
The African Burial Ground and the History of Slavery in New York CityBob Mayer
At one point, New York City was second only to Charleston in the number of slaves. When Wall Street was actually a defensive wall, half-freed blacks formed a community north of it, outside the wall. They were denied, by law, from burying in the city so had their own burial ground. What happened to it?

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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. ***Canada And Iroquoia***
Chapter # 5
• The Iroquois were an association of several tribes of indigenous
people of North America.
• They were also known as “Haudenosaunee” or “People of the
Longhouse.”
• When Europeans first arrived in North America, the Iroquois were
based in what is now the northeastern United States, primarily in
what is now referred today as upstate New York.
• Today Iroquois live primarily in New York.
• The Iroquois league is also known as Iroquois Confederacy.
3. ***Canada and Iroquoia***
Chapter # 5
• The name of this tribe implies that the nations of the
league should live together as families in the same
longhouse. Symbolically, the Mohawk were the
guardians of the eastern door, as they were located in
the east closest to Hudson.
• The name has various possible origins , both learned by
the French from tribes that were enemies of the
Haudenosaunee.
4. ***Canada and Iroquoia***
Chapter # 5
• Members of the league speak Iroquoian languages that are
distinctly different from those of the Iroquoian speakers.
This suggests that while the different Iroquoian tribes had a
common historical and cultural origin , they diverged as
peoples over a sufficiently long time that their languages
became different , and they distinguish themselves as
different people.
• The Iroquoian invaded the Ohio River Valley in present-day
Kentucky to seek additional hunting grounds.
5. ***Canada and Iroquoia***
• Indians normally wanted shiny objects. As a result, they
begin trading.
• They value all objects.
• They were good at fur trade.
• The French claimed St. Lawrence Valley because was in
a perfect location. In other words, they were able to
explore and discover new untouched territories in the
west.
6. ***French America***
• French America is the French-speaking
community of people, notably those tracing
origins to New France, the early French
Colonization of the Americas.
• Quebec is the center of the community, but it
may also include the rest of Canada
7. ***French America***
• At the end of the 17 century, once France was in the United
States, they founded a colony that was later named Louisiana.
• LOUSIANA- the Cajuns of Louisiana have a unique heritage. Their
ancestor settled Acadia, in what is now the Canadian provinces
of Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Islands.
• French Louisiana, when it was sold by Napoleon in 1803,
covered all or part of the fifteen current U.S states and
contained French and Canadian colonist dispersed across it.
8. ***French America***
• Colonial Era- In the 17th and 18th centuries there was an
influence of a few thousand Huguenots, who were
protestant refugees fleeing religious persecution in France.
• For nearly a century they fostered a distinctive French
Protestant identity that enable them to remain aloof from
American society. By the time of the American Revolution
they had generally intermarried and merge into the larger
Presbyterian community
9. ***French America***
• Many of the early immigrants worked in the
lumber industry.
• French Canadian immigrants women saw the
United States as a place of opportunity and
possibility where they could create alternatives
for themselves distinct from the expectations of
their parents and their community.
