Something very experimental but it works.
An encore discussion was given in BarCamp KL 2017.
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

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.
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.

3. Summary of System Requirement
Basically, the system requirement for this project would normally be a networked
environment. The three types of users who are due to use the system should be able to log on
from anywhere on the network and do the necessary maintenance.
Interfaces for the three different types of users had to mirror the differing access levels
for each user. Therefore, the login mechanism had to determine which type of user is logging
in, and hence, display or generate the appropriate interface.
The users will have to know some basic computer knowledge as a prerequisite (except
the administrators of course).
The system will have to perform as efficiently as possible, and yet remain robust
because it is still operated by human beings who can and would make mistakes. Instructions
within the system have to be clear and concise without the need for the user to refer to some
kind of manual. On that note, the software has to literally work “right out of the box”.
Design Evolution
Initial testing techniques were mainly based on user input and logical design guidelines
based on Web design experience.
Storyboard sketches of the interface design itself were drawn to assist in the design and
initial evaluation. These are inserted as part of this section on the following few pages. Due
to technicalities, screenshots of initial designs could not be obtained.
The evaluation was conducted in the form of user acceptance tests involving randomly
selected individuals who gave verbal feedback on the interface and recommendations on the
items to improve upon.
A major change was the switch from a multiple document interface (MDI) to a simpler
and more efficient design that mirrors a kiosk. It was found that users consistently had
trouble navigating drop down menus and toolbars, so simple buttons replaced all the drop
down menus.

4. Low Level Design Guidelines
• Fonts & styles – Easy to read and see. Easy for the eye to flow. Preferably the Sans Serif
fonts are used as they do not have the serifs that appear to “smudge” the screen.
• Icons – Has to clearly define and present its purpose.
• Colours, highlighting – Pleasant tone of colours from a narrow band. Pastel
recommended.
• Menus – Clear and concise, indicating the meaning directly to the end user.
• Dialog boxes – Indicate at once what has gone wrong or the type of confirmation from the
user that is needed.
• Screen layouts – To follow the logical path of the human eye, which, according to a
lecturer at the Malaysia Multimedia University, is from the top left of the screen to the
bottom right. Should be familiar with users who have very basic computer experience (i.e.,
can use a mouse and keyboard usefully).
• Headers & footers – Footer should be status indicators and on the right hand side, a clock
showing the current time. The header should be the title of the section the user is currently
in, preceeded by the name of the software. If the section title and software name are on the
same line, they have to be split with an emdash (i.e. “--” ).

5. Evaluation Using Shneiderman's Design Guidelines
1. Consistency and predictability – The software exhibited consistency from screen to screen
in terms of colour scheme and font. The various functions did as predicted by the user.
2. Cater for needs of diverse users – This software at the moment is a prototype, so this
feature would be implemented in the final version. For now, there is no provision for
diverse users, such as, font enlargement, high contrast colour schemes, and screen reader
support.
3. Provide helpful feedback – The majority of the system provides clear and easy to
understand feedback in the form of appropriate confirmation dialog boxes. Thus, the user
is able to know exactly what the software or system is doing.
4. Completions and exits clearly indicated – Exits are clearly indicated by confirmation
dialog boxes asking the user whether it is okay to exit or not.
5. Prevent errors – At the moment, this feature is not fully implemented, but some parts of
the system already exhibit it, such as the registration section, where there is a check for
empty fields.
6. Allow reversal of actions – Automatic reversal of actions are implemented in the system
for erroneous input. However, since this system is a prototype, undo functions are not
implemented.
7. Give user a sense of control – Clear and friendly-looking interfaces are the main highlight
of this system. The user is given a sense of control by being able to journey anywhere in
the system.
8. Minimize memory/cognitive load – Clear and concise instructions are given throughout the
system so as to minimize the memory and cognitive load of the end user. The layout and
position of several buttons also mean that the user does not have the primary function of
remembering where the buttons are and which button does what.

6. Conclusion
When this system was designed, several considerations had to be made. Initially, a
multiple document interface was proposed, but eventually, to make the system more efficient
and less of a hassle to use, an interface which constantly fills the entire screen with fixed
buttons meant that the user no longer has to grapple with windows and buttons that
constantly had to be repositioned. Colour was another issue, as judging by the user-task
matrix, the administrator often uses the system, so there had to be more gentle pastel colours
instead of the standard grey Windows default colours that look very impersonal.
The good point of the system is that it is robust and stable, because it does not use a
multiple document interface (MDI), it does not have to worry about refreshing itself,
resulting in very irritating flicker or slowness in repositioning the child windows.
A second good point to note is that the interface is mostly screen resolution
independent, in that all elements in the interface dynamically position themselves in the
centre part, and the entire background occupies the entire screen, regardless of the screen's or
monitor's resolution.
