The tradition of April Fool's Day began due to a historic joke by King George III of England in 1789. After the French people deposed King Louis XVI, King George III pretended to also abdicate the English throne as a joke. When the peasants celebrated in the streets, hundreds were quickly arrested and imprisoned. This prank by King George III is considered the origin of the April Fool's Day tradition.

…home to many museums, now
has one honoring the African di-
aspora. Hailing countless efforts
to save and share black history,
President Barack Obama dedi-
cated the Smithsonian National
Museum of African American
History and Culture in 2016. The
37,000 exhibits, some of them
objects families preserved for
generations, demand multiple
return visits. Artifacts marking
famed, obscure, and ignored
contributions evoke nostalgia
and pride. The record of lives
lost to and broken by injustice
kindles anger and sadness. The
layout is epic. Lead architect
David Adjaye’s structure sug-
gests Yoruba crowns from
Ghana, his homeland. Inside, a
glass-walled elevator descends
to the 1400s, when the African
slave trade began. The ensuing
climb implies African-Ameri-
cans’ ascent toward equality and
showcases their myriad achieve-
ments. Upper floors focus on the
modern, from breakthroughs in
art, science, and technology to
dance steps. The final display
features Obama’s 2009 inaugu-
ration—a guidepost to progress
and the miles of work ahead.

Raise a Glass
Seven generations and more than 200 years ago, Jacob
Beam, a German immigrant’s son, began making corn
whiskey using his father’s recipe in Kentucky. Jacob
sold his first barrel of Old Jake Beam in 1795. In
Clermont, the Jim Beam American Stillhouse guides
visitors through a 90-minute tour that covers the
entire process of whiskey-making, starting with the
natural limestone well that is Jim Beam’s water source
and continuing through the steps of mashing, distilling,
barreling, aging, and bottling. Visit jimbeam.com

Polishing an Icon.
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.

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.

1. Who began the tradition of
April Fool’s Day?
A. King George III (England)
B. Socrates
C. William Shakespeare
D. Benjamin Franklin
E. Julius Ceasar
2. According to The Huffington Post:
“The reason the date is so closely associated with
comedy largely has to do with the long-standing feud
between the English and the French. Historians claim
that on this day in 1789, after the French people
deposed King Louis XVI, King George III of England
made an historic joke, which continued the tradition
to this day.
He pretended to step down.
After renouncing the monarchy the streets were filled
with peasants celebrating new-found “freedom.”
Hundreds were quickly arrested and imprisoned.
It was quite possibly the best prank of all time.”
