June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Â
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 âany matterâ at âany timeâ 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
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
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 âBlue Starâ 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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
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 wasnât 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.
2. Introduction
⢠Language exists in two forms- 1. Written and 2. Oral
⢠Conversation is a type of spoken language. It can be defined as informal talk.
⢠People use conversation to exchange news, views, feelings and thoughts.
â˘Conversation is a two way communication.
⢠It is different from talk, which is a speech directed at an audience or a dialogue, which
in its strict sense means written conversation in a book or a discussion on an issue.
⢠Conversation differs from a chat. Chat is a little too informal, entertaining and lighter in
spirit. It differs from gossip or discussion.
⢠It is different from debate, debate is formal and in it two or three people talk for or
against a certain topic or issue.It is persuasive in nature.
⢠In a conversation, we take turns as speakers and listeners.
⢠A conversation takes place in a situation which consists of a setting
(time and place), participants (speaker and listener) and a topic.
⢠The situation may be formal or informal. The formality of the situation depends on the
type of occasion, relationship between the participants and the topic.
⢠The language of conversation will depend on interaction of these three factors.
3. 1. Make your contribution as informative as necessary. Neither
more or less.
2. Be truthful. Donât say for which you do not have evidence. In other
words do not spread rumours.
3. Make your contribution relevant. Do not speak on irrelevant matters or digress.
4. Make your contribution unambiguous and clear.
5. Make the listener feel cheerful and comfortable.
6. Do not impose things on your listener.
7. Whenever possible, encourage and praise your listener.
8. Sympathize with your conversational partner.
9. Speak in a natural manner. Do not employ false accent.
10. Use colloquial expressions, short forms, contracted forms.
11. Use simple and straightforward English. Say you are going for âan evening walkâ
and not âpost-prandial nocturnal perambulation.â
Principles of Conversation
5. Greetings
⢠There are several ways of greeting a person in English.
⢠The way we greet a person depends largely on the degree of familiarity one
has with the other person.
e.g. 1. Sneha : Good morning Anaya!
Anaya: Good morning Sneha, nice to see you.
2. Suresh: Hello! How nice to see you, Mahesh!
Mahesh: Oh hi Suresh, nice to see you too.
3. Praveen: Good afternoon Sameer, how are you?
Sameer: Good afternoon Praveen, I am fine, thank you.
⢠Greetings
1. Formal : Good morning ladies and gentlemen! 3. Informal : Hi! How are you?
Good evening, sir! Hello Riya!
Good afternoon, gentlemen! Hi!
Hey! Whatâs up?
2. Neutral/ Safe : Morning/Afternoon/ Evening!
Good to see you again!
How very nice to see you again!
6. ⢠We have to receive guests at home or office. In an office, there is usually reception area to
receive the guests.
Here are examples showing reception of the guests in office.
Receptionist : Good morning, sir. May I help you?
Visitor :Good afternoon. Iâd like to see Miss Geraldine Robinson.
Receptionist :Your name, please?
Visitor :Albert Morrison, from Edison Steel Co.
Receptionist : Just a moment, Mr. Morrison. Iâll see if she can meet with you right now.
1. Formal 2. Neutral/Safe

â˘Good morning, sir. been eagerly waiting
â˘What can I do for you? for you.
â˘Good afternoon,Miss. Could I help you? - How nice to see you!
⢠How do you do, Madame? May I help you? 3. Informal
â˘How can I help you? - Welcome.
â˘Can I be of assistance to you? - Glad to see you. â Here you are!
Receiving Guests
7. ⢠Conversations on telephone are very much a part of our day- to â day lives. Here are some
examples of formal conversations on telephone.
