Appropriation is an important historical practice in art-making, in which the artist uses a previously existing form, image or sound in new ways. The creative effort is defined by the inspired selection and manipulation of found materials. The end result is a strangely familiar, yet an altogether new creation.

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.
1. (Born in Tondo Manila 2 Apr il 1917
Death in Metro Manila 7 April 1994)
2. A National Artist in painting,
Legaspi was the son of Manuel
Legaspi and Rosario Torrente. He
was married to Vitaliana Kaligdan
with whom he had five children.
His daughter, Celeste, is one of
the most gifted proponents of
Filipino popular music.
3. Legaspi earned his Certificate of
proficiency at the University of the
Philippines School of Fine Arts in
1936. He then pursued art studies
abroad as a scholar at the Cultura
Hispanic, in Madrid, 1953-1954. He
subsequently entered the Academie
Ramon in Paris, France.
4. Legaspi espoused the cause of
modem art from its early years and
nurtured it with his fellow
pioneering modernists, Carlos V,
Francisco, Galo B. Ocampo,
Hernando R. Ocampo, and Vicente
Manasala, to full maturity. Today, he
is the most active surviving member
of the Thirteen Moderns.
5. While his work shows the influence of
cubism, cubism's rigorous intellectual
approach of its intellectual phase in
Legaspi's works gives way to the more
harmonious aspect of its synthetic phase.
There is a facetting of figures into larger
planes which overlap and cut through space
in transparent curvilinear rhythms and
which achieve a richly textured
orchestration of hues and tones.
6. Except for his earlier
monochromatic canvases,
Legaspi's paintings fully release
the expressive potential of color,
creating a sensuous chromatic
ambience with a variety of subjects
from dancers and flower gardens,
to dynamic street scene.
7. His early paintings, from the period
immediately before and after the war,
reflect his personal reaction to the
national trauma. "Man and Woman"
(also entitled Beggars), 1945, in an
expressionist idiom involving
distortion, shows a couple in rags
amidst the skeletons of buildings which
we broken like surrealist sculpture.
8. Another important work, "Gadgets,"
1947, done in two versions, reflects
the increasing importance of
machines in the post-war
industrialization period, as well as
what he perceived was the insidious
threat of human metamorphosing
into machine.
9. Legaspi spent many years as
magazine illustrator and artistic
director in advertising agencies,
while he took time in between his
work to do paintings. In 1963 he held
a one person show at the Luz Gallery.
10. This marked the beginning of an
active phase with major pieces, such
as Chiaroscuro, in which rocks and
stone quarries become his central
image and symbol and in which
structure is the predominant
concern.
11. Spatial depth is suggested by the darker
tonalities of the recesses in the granite rock
that half conceals organic forms, like curling
fetuses, embedded within, In these and
subsequent works, Legaspi strove towards
an artistic language based on the integrity of
shapes and figures that would convey an
entire range of values, from strength to
sensitivity, power to grace, dynamism to
lyricism.
12. In 1968 Legaspi finally left
advertising to devote his time to
painting. His subsequent works
significantly modified the cubist
idiom by rhythmic curvilinear lines
and planes contrary to the angularity
of the original style.
13. From 1974 onward his paintings
became more chromatic, sometimes
even effulgent with color; layers of
transparent passages create prismatic
effects Figures dynamically cut
through space in gestural
movements.
14. Light enhances color and form or
dematerializes and dissolves them into
airy transparencies, creating resonances
in space. The human figure, in its well
articulated muscular and structural
frame, increasingly becomes an eloquent
vehicle for expression, while a play of
contrasts ensues between organic form
and geometric structure, transparency
and solidity,
15. the flexible and the inexorable, tensions
that generate the vitality of Legaspi's arts.
In 1976 Legaspi did a number of
multilayered paintings on wood panel to
give actual depth and shadows to the
illusion of spatial movement. He has also
done a large diptych with a crucified torso
spanning the two panels; the graffiti of the
times are scattered ever the wall like
background.
16. Through the 1970s and 1980s, Legaspi
paintings that deal with universal
human experience, such as The
Survivor. These large, heroic canvases,
done in his dynamic style, convey the
surging, straining movements of
human beings in aspiration, struggle,
and triumph.
17. Aside from being dramatic
metaphors of human condition, they
are also visual correlatives of inner
moods. The "biota" imagery explores
organic and visceral movements
beneath the surface where human
beings are one with nature, woven of
the same tissues as the trees.
18. The images of struggle and
nightmare transpose onto the
imagery of art the emotional tensions
of everyday that seek resolution in
dreams. In 1978 Legaspi held a big
retrospective show at the Museum of
Philippine Art.
19. Ten years later he held a major
three-part exhibit, including the
Jeepney series in which the
dynamism of the imagery bring
together the spatial and temporal
dimensions, dream and reality, the
past and the present.
20. Legaspi's awards from the Art
Association of the Philippines are:
fourth prize, Sick Child, 1948, first
prize, Gadgets, 1944; fourth prize,
PIanters, 1949; and third prize, Ritual,
1951. He won first prize for Stairway to
Heaven in the Manila club Art
Exhibition in 1949.
21. His Symphony won an honorable
mention award in the Manila Grand
Opera House Exhibition in 1950. He
received the Patnubay ng Sining at
Kalinagan award from the City of Manila
in 1972. He received the Gawad CCP para
sa Sining award from the Cultural
Center of the Philippines in 1990. He
was proclaimed National Artist in
painting in 1990.
