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.
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.
1. The Nail Gun A Brief History On The Most Commonly Used Power Tool In Wood Frame Construction.
2. The Nail Gun Early History of Powder Actuated Fastening Just after the turn of the twentieth century, an Englishman named ROBERT TEMPLE experimented with the idea of harnessing the energy from the explosive powder that was being used in munitions at that time and using it for a different purpose..
3. The Nail Gun Early History of Powder Actuated Fastening (cont.) In the early 1900s he developed a crude product with a very limited capability that realized his ambition. The principle of this device was adapted for use as a cattle stunner and was produced by the TEMPLE COX DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, of BROMLEY, KENT, ENGLAND. This Temple Cox cattle stunning gun was described as a “captive punch” that had a sledge hammer effect for effectively killing or stunning cattle, and was used extensively throughout Europe.
4. The Nail Gun British Use of Powder Actuated Devices In the years prior to World War I (1914-1918) an underwater powder actuated device received extensive testing by the British Admiralty in salvaging and repairing of ships. One example of this work was the pinning of steel plates over gaping holes in the hulls of sunken ships. Divers would go down and use this device to shoot pins or nails as they are called today to hold these plates on.
5. British Use of Powder Actuated Devices (cont) Another application used by the British was the use of hollow fasteners. They were driven into the hull of a sunken ships and by pumping air through these hollow fasteners, salvage crews were able to raise ships back to the surface. With a device similar to the one used for pinning of steel plates, divers drove these hollow fasteners into the hulls of these ships.
6. The Nail Gun Underwater Powder Actuated Device Around the World A modified version of this underwater powder actuated device was adopted by the principal Navies of the world in the late 1930s and became standard equipment for salvage operations. It was a cumbersome device weighing approximately 36 kgs. (80 lbs.) and utilized a complicated one-piece fastener and powder charge system.
7. The Nail Gun Stanley Temple In 1942 Stanley Temple, one of the two sons of Robert Temple, the inventor, was employed in the United States as a toolmaker with the Iron Fireman Manufacturing Company in Cleveland, Ohio. This company manufactured .30 calibre machine guns for Aircraft and other related equipment.
8. The Nail Gun Stanley Temple (cont) Stanley Temple continued his interest in powder actuation as expressed by his father. It was at this time that the first practical powder actuated tool was developed. This tool was the forerunner of the RAMSET TOOL as we know it today, and the name of this tool was called the Velocitool. Patent No. 2470117 was applied for in 1943 and went on to become the basic RAMSET product patent which did not expire until May 1966
9. The Nail Gun The Velocitool The VELOCITOOL was a cumbersome heavy-duty object that used a .38 or .45 calibre cartridge to propel the fastener. It was less than half the size and weight of the earlier version developed some 30 years earlier. By today’s standard, this tool would be considered crude and cumbersome, although it used the most versatile combination of fastener and cartridge system.
10. The Nail Gun The Velocitool (cont) This tool weighed approximately 20 kg (45 lbs.) and was made of stainless steel to withstand corrosion from salt water. It had a ¾” barrel bore. It employed a jab-down thrusting motion to cock and fire the tool which was a difficult feat when used underwater, as a diver is buoyant and has little leverage control.
11. The Nail Gun The Velocitool (cont) Like its earlier counterpart, the tool was used exclusively by the armed services and had no application to commercial industry. Production ceased on this tool at the end of World War 2 (1945). Stanley Temple left the Iron Fireman Manufacturing Company and continued to design and develop the VELOCITOOL
12. The Nail Gun The Tempotool During this period that the Velocitool was around through the close association of JESSE E. WILLIAMS, who recognized the need for a portable, lightweight tool, a more commercially viable tool was developed and was called TEMPOTOOL.
13. The Nail Gun The Tempotool (cont) The TEMPOTOOL was a small, lightweight tool that used low power .22 calibre blank power loads for the first time. The tool comprised only four major assemblies and weighed less than 1 kg. (2 lbs.). The tool used any of three .22 calibre power loads: green (light), yellow (medium) and red (heavy). It was actuated when struck with the open hand. The tool was also marketed in an ‘L’ SERIES which used .38 calibre power loads also color coded green, yellow and red.
14. The Nail Gun Ramset Fasteners Inc. In late 1948, RAMSET FASTENERS INC. was founded to assume the distribution and sales responsibility for all STEMCO products. All TEMPOTOOL products were then renamed RAMSET – hence the RAMSET FASTENING SYSTEM was born.
15. The Nail Gun Ramset Fasteners Inc. Explosive-powered ("powder actuated") nail guns fall into two broad categories: Category 1: Direct Acting or high velocity devices. This uses expanding gas from a powder load to act directly onto the fastener to propel it at high velocity > 100 ft (typical 300+) per sec into the substrate.
16. The Nail Gun Ramset Fasteners Inc (cont) Explosive-powered ("powder actuated") nail guns fall into two broad categories: Category 2: Indirect Acting or low velocity devices. This uses expanding gas from a powder load to act directly onto a captive piston which inturn, drives the fastener at low velocity < 100 ft (typical 70-85) per sec into the subsrate. Indirect drive nailers are safer because they cannot launch a free-flying projectile even if tampered with or misused, and the lower velocity of the nails are less likely to cause explosive shattering of the work substrate.
17. The Nail Gun Fastening Systems – Post WWII During the mid 1950s a group of men from Windsted New York were sitting around and came up with the idea of a compressed air nail gun. Two of the Gentleman by the names of John Ollig and Marvin Hirsch spearheaded the idea. This idea was sparked by knowledge of how the automatic machine gun worked during there time of service in the army.
18. The Nail Gun Fastening Systems – Post WWII (cont) After several demonstration models were created the group took there idea on the road and tried to sell it to investors. Finally the Windsted group found a gentleman by the name of Jack Kuehn who was very interested in investing in the manufacturing of this amazing new pneumatic nail gun. He eventually gave the Windsted men $5000 to invest into there product.
19. The Nail Gun Port-A-Matic Tool Company As time went on Marvin Hirsh and John Ollig found many more investors to help fund there project and were successful for a period of time but after about 10 years of production there company was foreclosed by the bank and liquidated accordingly.
20. The Nail Gun The Nail Gun after Port-A-Matic Tools Even though the John Ollig and Marvin Hirsh did not succeed with there company Port-A-Matic tools the idea of the nail gun was now a permanent fixture in many inventors and investors minds. This idea of a pneumatic nail gun was contagious and eventually reincarnated back into refinement and production not to long after Port-A-Matic went out of business.
21. The Nail Gun The Nail Gun Today: Today after years of new ideas, broken down tools, tool refinements, and other countless research and development ventures the nail gun has blossomed into an immensely useful tool. Companies that offer Nail Gun Products: Hitachi - http://www.hitachi.com/ Dewalt - http://www.dewalt.com/ Paslode - http://www.paslode.com/
22. The Nail Gun (Afterword) The Nail Gun and How It Relates To Technology and Society: I found that this was a good subject to cover because It showed how out of necessity something was invented or developed. However the original idea was developed along time ago for another purpose. More specifically the nail gun idea came from the idea of a gun that shoots bullets, not nails.
23. The Nail Gun (Afterword) The Nail Gun and How It Relates To Technology and Society: It seem that because of the powder actuated Rifle or Gun the Nail Gun came about. The rapid and repetitive speed that the powder actuated systems had was of an advantage to other non military commercial applications. First the Powder Actuated Fastener came about due to its immediate relationship to a rifle or gun and then a Pneumatic faster came into frution because of its safer more cost effective use. Lastly, I believe this is a superb example of how humans have become Cyborgs. The Nail Gun is an extension to our normal non-mechanical abilities. Before nail guns were used hammers were used to drive pins or nails. This is also a form of humans becoming Cyborgs. However, by chance, experimentation, and equal parts necessity the Nail Gun today finally manifested itself.
