The Inca civilization originated in Peru and grew to cover over 2,500 miles across western South America by the 15th century, comprising the largest empire in the pre-Columbian Americas with over 12 million subjects. Ruled by a divine king known as the Sapa Inca, the Inca engineered impressive infrastructure like a vast road system and developed innovative techniques for record keeping without writing. At its height, the Inca empire was a highly organized society that could relay messages across its territories faster than any system in the world at that time.

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.

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

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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Who were the Inca?
They were a people who built a
great civilization on the western
coast of South America.
The first Inca people lived in the area
around Cuzco in modern-day Peru.
In the early 1400’s these people
began conquering neighboring
lands. The Sapa Inca (like a king or
emperorr) ruled over more than 12
million people living on over 2000
square miles of land.
By the late 15th Century, the Inca
empire covered more than 2,500
miles, embracing almost all of
modern Peru, most of Ecuador,
much of Bolivia, and parts of Chile
and Argentina
3. Worshipping the sun and the son
The ruler of the Incan civilization was
known as the Sapa Inca, living son of
Inti, the sun god. Just as no one can
look directly at the sun, no one was
allowed to look directly at the Sapa.
If you did, you would be killed.
Inti the sun god
4. The Empire of the Sun
Located on the western coast of South America, in modern day Peru.
By the 1530’s, the Incas were the largest civilization in the Americas.
There were 12 million people stretched over 2,000 miles.
Their lands were diverse. Near the coast there were dry deserts, while snow
fell in the Andes mountains. There were also the jungles of the Amazon.
6. What was it like to live in an Incan
community?
All families were members of a clan that farmed a specific piece of land.
Most Incans made their living by farming. The potato was their biggest
crop.
Llamas were important because they were very strong and could carry a
lot. However they were very stubborn animals. They used their wool for
clothing and when they died they made them into llama jerky

10. For The Good of the Empire
Part of the workers time was spent for the Sapa Inca and the empire. While
raising crops some went to the farmer and some went to the empire.
The Inca people believed they were providing for the good of the people.
Supplies were stored in warehouses for the elderly or in times of great need.
He-Who –Sees-Everything (what they called a government
official/inspector) traveled to the inca villages to collect taxes, serve as
matchmaker, and to collect information for the census.
He-Who-Sees-Everything interviewed all the unmarried girls. He sent the
good ones to be a wife to the Sapa Inca and the rest were given to an
unmarried man.
14. What Did the Incas Build?
The Royal Road: A 2.000 mile long road made to quickly send the army to
outlying territories and for trade. It wasn’t until the 1800’s that a longer road
was built. It was 24 feet wide.
Bridges: In 1350, the Incas build a bridge over a steep river gorge call
Apurimac. It was a hanging suspension bridge and the rope that
suspended it had to be replaced every 2 years. It was in service for 500
years.
Mountain staircases: In order to grow crops on the steep mountainside, the
Incas used terraces. They were flat farm fields that were cut into the side of
the mountain. Irrigation systems were put in to bring in water.
15. How to Survive Without a Phone, a Car,
or Written Language
The Incas came up with a strategy for keeping records using pieces of string
of various colors of different lengths with different knots in each string (the
Inca called these quipu).
16. They also used messengers trained to run short distances at great speeds to
carry news throughout the empire.
Since they did not have written language, the messengers had to
memorize the message. He would sprint to the next messenger a mile or
more away and, while still running, he would recite the message to the next
messenger who would immediately commit it to memory and carry it to the
next messenger.
The system was fast! A message could travel 150 miles a day! In the late
1860’s, the famous poney express riders of the American West were only
able to cover about 200 miles a day- and they rode on horseback!
