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.

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.

games, Math Training and Brain Training.
In 6th grade, relative to their peers, the
Nintendo group scored substantially better.
Gains were “obvious and significant”.
In 5th grade, the average gain in the
experimental group was 6 percentile points
higher than in the control group.
In 4th grade, almost every pupil in the Nintendo
group improved their score in comparison with
last year – the average increase was more than
10 percentile points.
The children who made the greatest gains
were those who had been using the game both
in school and at home.
42. "Project Surf.”
Use: Wii Homerun Derby (from Wii Sports)
First, a video clip from "Science of Summer" is
shown in which we discuss the force of a pitch as
it hits the catcher's glove.
The Wii is used to have students try to hit pitches
(using homerun derby game)
The purpose is to show just how fast pitches
come in and how a batter's timing needs to be
perfect.
Students take data in the excel-to-go program
on our palm pilots. Students record the time of
each pitch and then deduce how to find the
velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and
work of the pitch.
The unit culminates in May when they attend an
Atlantic City Surf game.
Students time pitches and enter data in the palm
pilots for a pitch-by-pitch analysis of a few
innings of the game.

72. Cambridge researchers posted pictures to sixteen
websites, noting the direct URL to the image, and then
deleted the original. They reopened the URLs over a period of
30 days to see whether the pictures were accessible and
found that images were still visible on five sites at the end of
that month. This is possible because the files remain in photo
server caches of the underlying content delivery network
(CDN) after they have been cleared from indices that provide
data for dynamic pages (such as profiles) and search results.
The terms of service for these sites indicate that deletion may
not be immediate, with Facebook likening the process to
putting a file in the Recycle Bin.

computer, mobile phone, or other device, we
may collect information from that device

89. Certain categories of information such as
your name, profile photo, list of friends and
pages you are a fan of, gender, geographic
region, and networks you belong to are
considered publicly available, and therefore
do not have privacy settings.
You can limit the ability of others to find this
information on third party search engines
through your search privacy settings.
90. We may institute programs with advertising partners and other
websites in which they share information with us:
- We may ask advertisers to tell us how our users responded to
the ads we showed them. This data sharing, commonly known as
“conversion tracking,” helps us measure our advertising
effectiveness and improve the quality of the advertisements you
see.
- We may receive information about whether or not you’ve seen or
interacted with certain ads on other sites in order to measure the
effectiveness of those ads.
91. “We may collect information about you from
other Facebook users, such as when a friend
tags you in a photo or video, provides friend

We are not responsible for third party circumvention

You can reduce these risks by using common sense

No children’s names (no tags, nothing)
Do not mention your future plans (esp. away

99. 1. Take control of your photos. Your personal and professional life are becoming one, largely
due to Facebook. Go through what you have on your social network & untag yourself in
photos that an employer might find inappropriate.
2. Set privacy settings. You have less reason to worry if employers can’t access your digital life.
3. Post photos that promote you as a professional. If you have photos from
volunteering, studying abroad, working a job, giving a presentation, or any other semi-
professional event, post them. They go a long way to help counteract other photos that
might negatively impact your image.
4. Put up a clean profile photo of yourself. Even if you got a lot of compliments on your
stripper Halloween costume, a profile picture that isn’t associated raucous college partying
means a lot to people in hiring positions.
5) Stay active online. By commenting on blogs and forums, updating your profiles, and even
creating your own site you can become much more visible and credible online. This gives
the people who search you a much more comprehensive picture of who you are and allows
you to highlight the good and bury the bad
6. Be mindful of who you accept as a “Friend.” Poor choices could reflect badly on you as a
professional. Make sure to monitor their comments on your sites as well.
