THE ART OF PURIM celebrates the foiled attempt to kill all the Jews of the Persian Empire in the 5th c., BCE. The Book of Esther relates the story and is read today from a scroll called “The Megillah.” It is the only book of the Hebrew Bible that does not include the name of God. THE ART OF PURIM has wall paintings from the 3rd c., CE and includes illuminated manuscripts, groggers, and contemporary artworks.
With any self-evaluation, it is as if we unzip and expose the thoughts that we carry inside. We all have a choice to consciously examine our lives and seek the happiness within, or to keep our discontentment hidden within the mask we wear.

Ask 100 people what would make them happy, and a sizeable majority would say “winning the lottery.” Yet, if they won a vast fortune, within a year they would be back to their previous level of happiness. The fact is that money has many uses, but more money does not mean more happiness. Surveys carried out in recent years by leading psychologists and sociologists all confirm that while individuals may increase their material wealth during the course of their lifetime, this has no bearing on their well-being.

Heartfulness Magazine - July 2020 (Volume 5, Issue 7)heartfulness
With all the current social changes we are facing on both global and local scales, it is becoming clearer that our collective consciousness is shifting. To inspire us in the shift towards community, from "me to we," in this July edition we have a feast of inspiration and practical wisdom from Daaji, Bruce Lipton, Mirabai Bush, IchakAdizes, Peter Reding and more.
Book Ambra to speak or train: http://ambrawatkins.org/speaker. As digital natives mature into adults, the impact technology has had on their mental health is undeniable. One in four students have a diagnosable illness, and 40% do not seek help. What are the causes? What can young people do to recover? How can parents and mentors help?
Welcome to Issue 13 in which we continue our Journey with Daaji exploring consciousness. This time he takes to the space-time continuum and the creation of the universe from a yogic perspective. Dr. James Doty highlights the role of compassion in our lives and Luke Coutinho and Samara Mahindra share a holistic medical approach to cancer recovery. We also showcase a successful business model on the yogic principles of Yama, learn more about the basic laws of the universe, and go for a spectacular journey of Buddhism in Myanmar. www.heartfulnessmagazine.com
How to Reinvent Yourself with Tami GreenTami Green
Six steps on how to reinvent yourself, no matter what!
After a bitter and protracted custody battle, declining mental health and three subsequent suicide attempts, I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness.
Though fearful of the consequences of exposing myself, I decided I would turn my life around and help others who had suffered as I had.
The next few years were spent testifying to members of Congress, speaking at local support groups and at thought leader conferences to offer my support, hope and encouragement that recovery was possible.
My YouTube Channel grew to 700,000 views, I published six short books, one of which was translated into Japanese, and developed a certification training program for others who wanted to peer coach.
During this time, I was estranged from most of my five children. The pain of the separation pushed me even further to learn how to stay healthy. My goal was to be the very best mother I could be should they ever return to my care.
After many years, I was reconciled with all my children and got married. I gave birth to my son, Hunter, at the age of 48, and had my twin girls at the age of 50.
My story is a story of redemption and second chances and this workshop is about the nuts and bolts of what one can DO give themselves a fresh start and live a new, intentional life.
Thanks for stopping by!
With love, Tami

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.

Dive into the world of AI! Experts Jon Hill and Tareq Monaur will guide you through AI's role in enhancing nonprofit websites and basic marketing strategies, making it easy to understand and apply.
Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
1. A STATE OF MIND
INHERENT DNA
QUANTITY OF
DOPOMINE IN BRAIN
CREATURE COMFORTS
2. Scientific studies have established that happiness is largely
determined by our genes. The husband and wife team of Dr.
Edward and Dr. Carol Denier both psychologists at University
of Illinois have published papers suggesting that
50 % of our happiness is a direct result of our
DNA,
10 % as a result of wealth and good health !!!
and the remaining 40% as a result of our attitude,
upbringing, lifestyle, family bonding, friends and
groups, in short uncharted.
They have come to the conclusion after doing extensive
brain mapping by positron emission tomography scans, and
it has been proved that higher dopamine and left side brain
frontal activities, induce happiness and sense of well being.
Although no one is contending that DNA plays an important
part, the difference of opinion in the scientific community is
about the percentage.
DON’T TELL
ME . 0nly
10 % for
which we
work our
ass off the
whole life!!
3. SO NOW LET US TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE 50% PART OF HAPPINESS
WE HAVE NOT MUCH OF A ROLL TO PLAY
BUT UNDERSTANIG WILL SURELY HELP
THE TOOTHLESS SMILE ON SLIDE ONE IS DIRECT RESULT OF DNA
THAT MUCH UNDERSTOOD - EXCELLENT !
50 % of individual happiness comes from genetic set points. As humans we have
no control over our genetic set points, and hardly any control over our
circumstances.
So if our genetic set point is low – are we to for ever remain gloomy and sad ?
IN ISLAM it is so easy to achieve by simple logic
‘rida bi al – qadah’ (being content with our lot of life )
SO SIMPLE YET SO PROFOUND
TRUE HAPPINESS IS CONTENTMENT – IT IS AN INSIDE JOB
4. Building something of value within, rather than merely acquiring creature comforts is
the right path to Happiness.
In a recent article by BBC Correspondent Matthew Teller on Qatar , which is the richest
Nation in the world with average per capita income of $ 100,000 he tried to find out
HAS WEALTH MADE QATAR HAPPY ?
He found out that once an improvised but happy contended society is feeling the pressure
Of fast paced development.
40% of Qatari marriages now end in divorce. More than two thirds of adult and children
Are obese. The beautiful simplicity is for ever lost.
MONEY CAN’T BUY HAPPINESS BUT IT CAN MAKE
YOU AWFULLY COMFORTABLE WHILE YOU ARE
BEING MISERABLE - Clare Luce
6. The students were divided into 2 groups and were instructed to click 12 pictures of their
choice about Harvard. Both the group had to submit 2 of their best pictures.
One group was told that, out of the 2 pictures, they can keep their favorite for themselves,
and submit the other one for Class Project.
The other group was given an option to retain the best out of two, and submit the other
one, which they can exchange after five days, if they want.
Both the groups were closely monitored, and it was found that the group, which had not
been given the choice, were contended and happy, with the picture they had selected for
themselves.
Where as those who had a choice, were killing themselves, debating over and over again.
A new group of students were registered for a new Photography Course, and given the two
options. SURPRISINGLY 66 % preferred to be in the group, which had the option to exchange
– to change their minds.
Research had proved that this 66 % will be the unhappy lot !
7. When our ambition is bounded, it leads us to work joyfully.
Whenever, our ambition is unbounded, it leads us to lie, to
cheat to steal, to hurt others, to sacrifice things of real value.
We have in us the capacity to overcome our situations, and
make ourselves happy, contended and satisfied.
When something bad happens, you have three choices.
You can let it define you.
Let it destroy you or
Let it strengthen you.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
