The Canadian Gaming Summit: My Presentation on Allan Petrilli
Last week, I had the opportunity to both attend and give a presentation at the Canadian Gaming Summit in Windsor, Ontario. Drawing delegates from the land-based casino and iGaming sectors across Canada, the conference was a great place to share and discuss industry trends with other gaming professionals.
Did you attend my session, “The Balanced Marketing Ecosystem: Using Traditional & Digital Marketing Strategies to Maximize your Acquisition of New Customers”? If you couldn’t make it, here are the key points I made in Windsor:
• With a reported $14 billion in annual revenue, gambling in Canada is integral to the national economy and a major revenue stream for provincial governments. .
• Canada is online like never before: in 2015, 87% of Canadian households have an internet connection. It’s therefore vital for land-based casinos and iGaming brands to make digital marketing the core of their acquisition strategies.
• Beyond their websites, the digital marketing channels casinos and operators can focus on include: SEO, PPC, media buys, email marketing, affiliate/performance marketing and social media marketing. These are most valuable and impactful when leveraged as a group.
• When it comes to maximising the impact of their marketing campaigns and measuring their ROI, reliable tracking software is essential for both online and offline channels.

One cold March evening in 2014 Paul Nolan, Chairman of the Addergoole Titanic Society in North West Mayo, told a strange and captivating story as we were standing in the street of Lahardane Village, the main village in the parish of Addergoole; the parish with the largest proportionate loss in the world when RMS Titanic, the largest and most luxurious passenger ship, sank with a huge loss of life, on its maiden voyage on 15th April 1912 after hitting an iceberg some four hours previously.
What happened in this historic tragic event; the world’s largest moveable object met the world’s largest tin opener, the tin opener won. There were 2,201 crew and passengers, but only 690 were saved.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
2. AGILLA E TRASIMENO – The Myth and the dance
The group “Agilla e Trasimeno” was born in the 1957, is involved in keep alive some forms of
popular culture and civilization, like old folk dance, music, costumes and another tradiscion of the
Trasimeno lake.
The costumes are the same dressed in the XIX centrury.
The name of the group comes from an old myth.
There are several stories and legends over lake Trasimeno and most of them revolve around the
Agilla, nymph of the lake and prince Trasimeno son of the God Tyrrhenium.
The love between the nymph
and the prince bloomed in
one of lake Trasimeno's
island called Polvese. The
story tells that one day
Trasimeno got attracted from
an angelic singing to island
Polvese.
And there Trasimeno and
Agilla saw each other for the
first time and it was love at
first sight.
But destiny was against
them and their happiness
lasted only one day, the day
in which they met and got
married.
Old traditions in Castiglione del Lago
3. The day after their marriage
Trasimeno decided to have a
swim in the lake and while
Agilla was standing on the
seashore Trasimeno got
suddenly under the water and
never came back up again.
His body was never found
and Agilla never gave up the
hope to be one day reunited
to her beloved Trasimeno so
she kept looking for him day
after day after day.
The grieving nymph spent up
to her last few days of life
searching for Trasimeno and
on a little boat Agilla would
check each and every boat in
the lake looking for her
missing love.
The fishermen say that when
in summer the wind blowing
from Toscany comes this way
you can hear Agilla crying. And when sailors cross the lake and sudden waves shake the boat they say
is Agilla's spirit who believes to have found her true and only love again. Here is Agilla's love song for
her Trasimeno.
The musical instruments are: accordion, harpsichord, guitar, clarinet, accordion and double bass, that
accompany these dances Sor Cesare, Punta e Tacco, Trescone, Lo Schiaffo e La Manfrina.
4. THE “SEGA LA VECCHIA” ANIMATION

OLD RURAL EVENT
5. Farming was Castiglione del Lago's principal
source of edible goods during the Middle Ages.
One of the elements that united land and village
was the weekly market, when slaves and
farmers were received within the city walls.
From ancient times to the present, having a
market was very important for a village as it
could influence the economic situation of an
entire population.
After a pontifical injunction in 1548, Castiglione
del Lago had the privilege of a weekly market
on Wednesday assigned, previously it was
accorded to the village of Panicale.
The importance of the market for Castiglione del Lago
Panicale had been managing the market since the 13° century and after the concession was
withdrawn and given to Castiglione del Lago, a distinct inversion of the economical trend between
the two villages occurred.
In the early XIX Century was prohibited to sell farming produce or meat coming from the farm
outside the markets. Therefore the villages that held a market within its city walls had a lot of
benefits and good income due to the economic dealers present at it. Every merchant and farmer
had to pay an entrance fee and was liable to a duty for the occupation of public soil necessary to
obtain the right of trading.
6. FAGIOLINA DEL LAGO – from the cheapest to the most expensive typical product
Legume typical of the area of Lake Trasimeno where the presence of humid soils has favored the
cultivation. The main features of Fagiolina of the lake are the small size of the seed white and its
taste tender, buttery.
Until the Second World War Fagiolina was the main source of protein for local people, but because
of the progressive depopulation of the countryside and of the difficulties of cultivation was gradually
disappearing until you find a new boost production. In August 2002was founded the Consortium
Fagiolina of Lake Trasimeno. Today Fagiolina represent the most expensive vegetable that grow up
in our area.
The peculiarity of this legume is how it’s worked… all It’s handmade and the techniques of collection
and work are the same since several centuries.
7. PESCA DEL TORO
The fishery of the bulls is an
ancient method of fishing that
involved the whole
community for a long period
of time.
The term derives from the
Latin bull "torus" which
means "pile" and refers to the
piles of fagots, this is where
tench and eels would be
displaced during the winter.
In June, the fishermen began
to prepare the bull with the
cutting of the fronds.
In summer the leaves were
then placed in large heaps
submerged.
Around the pile was preparing
a double palisade that formed
a circular corridor on which
was hung a network of hemp
that was down to the bottom
of the lake.
At this point the fish were pushed into the corridor, where they took refuge in bundles suspended in the
water.
After a break of five or six hours the fishermen raise the second portion of the network trapping the fish
in a river bed circular, which, except for the fagots, was reduced until it could pass the fish in a net bag
("the mutilated") to bring them to shore.
8. FESTA DEL TULIPANO – the main Event in castiglione del Lago since 1956
