The document presents 15 life lessons derived from the street art of Banksy. Each lesson is accompanied by an image of one of Banksy's pieces and a brief description of the artwork and its intended message. The lessons include: listen to your heart, don't let others deter you from your dreams, don't be so full of yourself, live in the moment rather than living through technology, express yourself rather than holding things in, utilize kindness over violence in protests, be humble, love is about more than lust, all love is valid, strive for peace over conflict, there is always hope even in loss, everyone has secrets, let actions match words, remember where you came from, be wary of influences in everyday life, and

Unpacking Christian Privilege in a Nation Asserting "Religious Pluralism"Warren Blumenfeld
Christian hegemony I define as the overarching system of advantages bestowed on Christians. It is the institutionalization of a Christian norm or standard, which establishes and perpetuates the notion that all people are or should be Christian, thereby privileging Christians and Christianity, and excluding the needs, concerns, religious cultural practices, and life experiences of people who are not Christian. At times subtle and often overt, Christian hegemony is oppression by neglect, omission, erasure, and distortion, and also by design and intent. This unique slide presentation investigates the concept and realities of Christian privilege.

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.

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.
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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. This ominous image of a hitchhiking
Charles Manson stands outside of
London’s Archway Tube Station. Could it
be a reference to the pervasive influence of
evil in society? An ominous warning that
evil can be lurking on any corner? Perhaps
we should be more restrictive of what kinds
of influences we allow in our everyday
lives.

15. Set moral boundaries.
3. Those who pass this piece in Los
Angeles may wonder if they’re being
warned, mocked, or simply
entertained by a peculiar caveman
with his fast food combo meal.
Perhaps this is simply a subtle
reminder of our human nature—and
of those things that we’ve adopted
that aren’t so natural.
As crazy as it is to see a caveman
carrying a fast food tray, is it really
that much crazier for us to consume
grease-soaked, nutritionless meals?

5. Have you ever been frustrated by a
parent who said, “Do as I say, not as I
do?” Maybe Banksy was too, before
allegedly creating this piece in
the London Borough of Hounslow. This
piece brings to light the contradiction
between what human behaviors are
expected, and how people actually
behave. We’re often told to be good by
some of the very people that are doing
just the opposite. Actions speak louder
than words, so make sure your actions
don’t contradict your words.
6. 13. Let your actions match your words.

7. This rather humorous scene is one
of Banksy’s most famous, painted
in Bristol, England. Along with the
idea that we’ve all got some things
to hide, this piece seems to warn
us that things aren’t always what
they seem. Don’t blindly believe
everything you’re told, as
someone’s dishonesty may be
creating an illusion.

9. This message is clearly etched in
the wall beside this London piece.
While the image may symbolize
loss, the text clearly tells us that no
amount of loss can eliminate hope.
This is a gentle reminder to remain
positive instead of wallowing in our
losses.
10. 11. There is always hope.

11. This San Francisco piece
demands that we examine
ourselves—particularly, how we
solve problems. Instead of
resorting to violence and
immature tantrums, we should
aim to be reasonable and fair.
This is one of many Banksy
pieces that pushes us to
question our government and
the decisions made by our
leaders.

13. This dismal scene, painted
outside of a New York City strip
club seems to highlight the ugly
truth about society’s sex
obsession: it never leads to
fulfillment—at least not for this
poor guy. Banksy posted the
phrase, “waiting in vain” along
with a picture of the stencil on his
website, suggesting he’s in the
wrong place if he wants to find
genuine love.
14. 9. Love is not lust.

15. 8. All love is valid.
This piece, outside of a Brighton
pub, blatantly displays two
uniformed male officers kissing.
Banksy seems to be asking us,
“Who’s to say what is
appropriate?” Whether
“conventional” or not, love is love.
This piece suggests that love
should be accepted publicly and
displayed freely, no matter what
kind it is.
16. Let’s face it: most humans need a
lesson in humility. We’ve caused
tragedies for other species, the
environment, and other humans
without even recognizing any wrong-
doing. Banksy reportedly painted
several of these pieces, reminiscent
of the popular anecdote: don’t step on
the little people to get to the top, as
you may need them on your way
back down. More importantly, don’t
step on people because it’s wrong.
Practice humility, and you will
naturally earn respect without having
to mistreat anyone.

7. Be humble.
18. This London piece of a protester
throwing a bouquet of flowers may
be Banksy’s most famous piece thus
far. The remarkable idea behind this
piece is the use of unexpected
weapons. The protester fights not
with a grenade or other harmful
device, but with an innocent bouquet
of flowers. This suggests we may be
able to get more done by negotiating
kindly, not malevolently.
19. 6. Utilize kindness.

20. This New York piece illustrates
self-expression with a graffiti artist
puking flowers. The caption tied to
this piece is “better out than in,”
indicating that if you have
something to express, it’s best to
let it out rather than hold it in. We
certainly wouldn’t hold it in if we
felt the need to puke. So why hold
in our emotional needs, like the
need to express and create?
Whether physical or emotional,
some things need to be let out,
lest we be left with a sour
stomach.
21. 5. Express yourself.

22. One of Banksy’s most recent pieces,
entitled Mobile Lovers, was also done
in Bristol. This not-so-subtle reference
to modern technology warns us to be
conscious of what we’re spending our
time and attention on. Nothing that
exists on a screen in more important
than what is happening right in front of
us. By being constantly preoccupied,
we could miss out on meaningful
opportunities and connection with
others.

24. Another New York piece of
Banksy’s casually knocks us down
to reality. As humans, we like to
believe that our lives have
significance and that we’re unique
from everyone else. This piece can
be viewed as something that
knocks us down a peg, but in a
good way. Everyone lives the same
struggle. Life is finite, and that’s
okay. Don’t do things in order to be
remembered; do things in order to
be a good person.

26. This Boston piece, one of Banksy’s
most famous, takes yet another
swing in the name of disappointed
idealism. Many of us feel forced to
give up our dreams, never pursuing
them due to financial burdens or
other hardships. This may serve as a
wake up call for those of us who’ve
been asleep. Ultimately, we should
follow our dreams, regardless of
outside discouragement.

28. Perhaps the most obvious and
adorably heartwarming
translation of this San
Francisco piece is “listen to
your heart.” While harsh
realities and unforgiving satire
are typically Banksy’s style, a
bit of optimism seeps through
here. This listening doctor
