We are living in a sophisticated world thinking of acquiring luxuries that make life more comfortable than before. However, these comforts and luxuries bring along their own problems, and issues that affect us adversely. Students and adults, skilled workers and professionals, young and old face different problems related to their work, relationships, and life.
These problems can be related to facing criticism, handling the ego, beating overthinking, mental stamina, mental diet, the impact of digital technology in our life, taking a digital detox, managing stress, etc. The book “Crossing the Fence” gives a good description of these problems and suggests guidance for finding apt solutions.
What does Crossing the Fence mean? ‘The Fence’ stands for obstructions or problems and ‘Crossing’ for finding possible solutions. Hence the book Crossing the Fence gives the secrets of facing problems one encounters in life.
Problem-solving is the process that involves your ability to resolve an issue and come out with a possible solution. Every individual has his/her own way of tackling problems they encounter. All look at problems from their own perceptions and try to understand them from different angles. This book will make you more thoughtful, analytical, and creative and help you to grow as a person, and become more independent in handling your problems.

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.
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.

1. ELT
Session on Case
By
Dr. Nicholas Correa
Director, New Horizon Scholars School
2. Case
Case is the grammatical function of a noun or
pronoun.
There are only three cases in modern English, they
are subjective (he), objective (him) and possessive
(his).
They may seem more familiar in their old English
form - nominative, accusative and genitive.
There is no dative case in modern English. Yippee!
3. The good news is that we, we got rid of most of our
cases.
As a result English is easier than many other
languages because nouns and some indefinite
pronouns (anyone, someone, everyone, and so on)
only have a distinctive case form for the possessive.
There are a few remnants of old English though, and
pronouns have distinctive forms in all three cases and
should be used with a bit more care.
4. There are three pronoun cases:
1. Subjective case: pronouns used as subject.
2. Objective case: pronouns used as objects of
verbs or prepositions.
3. Possessive case: pronouns which express
ownership.
5. Personal Pronoun
Subjective/Nominative Objective/Accusative Possessive/Genitive
Referring to the subject Referring to the object in The apostrophe form of
in a sentence a sentence the word ("Lynne's).
I Me Mine
You You Yours
He Him His
She Her Hers
It It Its
We Us Ours
They Them Theirs
Who Whom Whose
6. The above pronouns, and who and its compounds, are the
only words that are inflected in all three cases -
1. subjective,
2. objective,
3. possessive
The subjective and objective cases are indistinguishable, and
are called the common case in nouns .
One result of this simplicity is that, the sense of case being
almost lost, the few mistakes that can be made are made
often, even by native speakers, some of them so often that
they are now almost right by prescription.
7. Subjective / Nominative Case
Used especially to identify the subject of a finite verb.
A noun or pronoun is in the subjective when it is used as
the subject of the sentence or as a predicate noun.
In the following examples, nouns and pronouns in the
subjective case are italicized.
A noun in the subjective case is often the subject of a verb.
For example:
•"The tree fell on my car", "the tree" is in the nominative
case because it's the subject of the verb "fell“.
8. Pronouns are inflected to show the subjective case.
Personal Pronoun
Subjective/Nominative
Referring to the subject in a sentence.
I
You
He
She
It
We
They
Who
9. For example:
•Lynne owns this web site.
•I hope to finish my homework tomorrow.
•She enjoyed her English lessons.
•He is an idiot.
(The word idiot is a predicate noun because it follows
is; a form of the verb "be")
10. Objective / Accusative Case
A noun or pronoun is in the objective case when it is used as a
direct object, an indirect object, or an object.
A noun which is directly affected by the action of a verb is put
into the objective case.
In English we call this noun the "direct object" which is a little
more descriptive of its function. It's the direct object of some
action.
•Robert fixed the car.
In the example above, the "car" is in the objective case
because it's the direct object of Robert's action of fixing.
11. Pronouns are inflected to show the objective case.
Personal Pronoun
Objective/Accusative
Referring to the object in a sentence
Me
You
Him
Her
It
Us
Them
Whom
12. For example:
•The web site gave Lynne a headache.
•Mum gave us the money.
•She gave him the book.
13. Possessive Case
The possessive case is used to show ownership.
(Lynne's website.)
The good news is that the genetive case is used less
and less in English today. Hooray!
You may still hear someone say something like "The
mother of the bride," but it could equally be; "The
bride's mother."
However, the possessive pattern ('s) is generally used
when indicate a relation of ownership or association
with a person, rather than a thing.
For example:-
Lynne's web site kept growing larger and larger.
14. There are, as ever, exceptions to this rule. When
a group of people is involved or animals.
For example:-
The members' forum.
The dogs' tails.
Singular and irregular plural nouns that don't
end in 's' take -'s.
For example:-
Lynne's web site.
The people's court
15. Plural nouns that end in " s " take an apostrophe at
the end
( ' ).
For example:-
The girls' dresses.
People's names that end in "s" you can write (') or
('s).
For example:-
Charles' job was on the line.
Or
Charles's job was on the line.
16. Try to avoid sounding like hissing Sid
though. When an added - s would lead to
three closely bunched s or z sounds just
use an apostrophe at the end.
The map of Ulysses' journey.
If you have to show joint ownership, give
the possessive form to the final name
only.
Abbott and Costello's famous baseball
sketch.
17. Pronouns and determiners are inflected to show
the possessive case.
Personal Pronoun/Determiner
Possessive
Lynne's Lynne's
My Mine
Your Yours
His His
Her Hers
Its Its
Our Ours
Their Theirs
Whose Whose
18. For example:-
This is Lynne's web site. It's my
website!. It's mine!
It's not Zozanga's web site. It's not
his website. It's not his.
Have you seen her book? It's her
book. It's hers.
19. Genitive Case
You should still use the genetive case
when talking about things that belong to
other things.
For example:-
The door of the car.
The content of the website.
The top of the page.
!Tip - If you aren't sure what to use stick
to (of the).
