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
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.

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.

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.

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.
3. I initially used Pinnacle 15 for rough editing but
after viewing the footage. I realized that sound
corrections need to be done so I decided to use
Vegas Pro because it is technically more advance
than Pinnacle 15, so I am able to adjust sound level
and complete the Post-Production.
4. Preliminary Task Evaluation
In this Preliminary Task Evaluation I will point out and analyze key
parts and stages that I have used in order to complete this introduction
project of media studies coursework.
My first task was to create a photo story that follows pre-determined set
of shots in order to illustrate a simplistic story line.
The key areas in this task were the use of common types of shots,
framing and picture composition. Once this was used I was able to
produce a photo story.
5. During the filming of the story I had to focus on depicting
understanding and ability to frame the shot and desired subject.
Applying general principles in photography, called the rule of
thirds, I was able to make presentable looking and professional
looking shots. For better understanding I have focused mainly of
shot types and angles. Using a character I have realized that there
are three main shot types and angles.
Types: Long, Medium and close.
Angles: High, Medium and Low.
6. Long shots tend to depict the Location and area the subject is in. Close
up tend to communicate emotion through expressions.
Medium shots use both elements of long shots and close up. As it
shows location and expressions of the subject.
In my photo story I used various shot angles to depict importance and
dominance. Low angle is used to depict that the subject in this shot is
powerful and dominant. High angle is used to convey how the character
is shot is being dominate and how little power the subject has.
7. The main part of preliminary task was to create a short video
sequence following mainstream film narrative and compositional
structures. The Video sequence is going to exhibit my
understanding of the three following techniques.
• The 180-degree rule is a video filming guideline that states that two characters in a
scene should maintain the same left/right relationship.
• Shot/reverse shot is when one character is shown looking at the other, and the other
character is shown looking back at the first character.
• Match on action is when an action that begins in one shot and ends in the next shot.
8. • Before producing this video I have carried out secondary research. This
research invloved looking and studying examples of similair students
previous video works and existing videos that portrays the mentioned video
techniques.
• The 180-degree rule is a video filming guideline that states that two characters in a scene should
maintain the same left/right relationship to one another and stay in a 180 degree Field and must not
pass through the imaginary line. When the rule is broken it create chaos and confusion because natural
view has be disturbed. This can be used to represent the chaos happening during that moment in the
scene.
• Shot reverse shot is a very important editing technique when filming dialogues. This process is
integrated with the 180 degree rule. The shots you should have for a basic shot reverse shot are: a two-
shot of the characters usually in wide or medium shot. This style of continuity editing makes shows
viewers that two character are talking to each other. Viewers don't recognize the cuts as they are very
fluid transitions
• The shots you should have for a basic shot reverse shot are: a two-shot of the characters usually in wide

9. Once I have completed secondary research I began with the pre-production stage in
order to produce a video sequence that contains all this media techniques. At the start I
thought of various ideas that could be implemented in this video sequence. I have
decided to continue with the Student Life Trials. This sequence incorporates visual
techniques and creative ideas.
The first step in the pre-production was to come write down a film synopsis. With the
Student Life Trials I have implemented key elements: Characters, storyline, actions,
reactions and major incidents. From the start to finish it was in chronological order. The
follow up step was to write video sequence script and complete the story board
following acceptable and common script and story board standards. After completing
the script I evaluated screenplay and pictured it in terms of separate shots that can be
visually translated into individual storyboard panels.
10. In the creation of the story board I had to take into consideration
key factors in regards to:
• Location and setting
• Actors appearing in the shot and direction
• Props
• Type of shots, angle and movement
Once finishing the storyboard I have continued with the last stage
of pre-production which involved: actor and location search,
equipment and props list. This was a necessary stage which was
significant in order to help me plan and foresee any challenge
when filming on locations.
11. The Production stage was made within two day and it was filmed
at a bus station and a school. My main concern was the
availability of the characters as they had different obligations.
However I was able to properly plan when the actors were going
to be and constantly remind them when and where they were
going to filmed.
After the Production Stage I continued to the post-production
section of this task. I viewed the footage and so called rough
editing. In the editing of this video sequence I have used a
semiprofessional video editing software.
12. In this task I have used the following camera techniques: Panning,
Close up, Over the shoulder, Low angle, Esatabilishing shot,
Meduim shot and Two shot. When these techniques were
implemented, a sense of movement was created and also
continuity.
I have learnt to the use the following continuity rules: Shot
Reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action. I
implemented these rules in order create a more poignant image
of actions that took place.
The shot reverse shot estabilishes the speakers facial expressions
throughout the conversation.
The 180 degree rule was used to maintain the actors postions
within the scene.
A match on action is used to create a better picture of continutiy.
In this task I have used Pinnacle 15 and Vegas Pro.
13. In post-production I have learnt to import, cut, render, add
transition and mark in and out. I have used these tools to import
footage and place the footage together on the timeline on the
basis of the cutting out the unnecessary clips and adding
transitions to create a better continuity sequence. If I was to
repeat this project again, I would do somethings differently.
Firstly I would have taken more scene where I would include
panning.
Secondly I would have added more close up shots of characters
as I have taken too many meduim and long shots.
Lastly I would have include more shot reverse shot scenes.
