1) During World War 1, soldiers experiencing mental trauma from the horrors of war without physical wounds were diagnosed with "shell shock". Symptoms included fatigue, irritability, and reliving traumatic experiences. 2) "Shell shock" was initially believed to be caused by physical damage from shell explosions but is now understood to be psychological trauma. Over 80,000 British soldiers alone were affected. 3) The public came to distrust their governments due to the immense human costs of the war and growing disillusionment with why the war was fought.

The Four Elements - AIR
The document summarizes various aspects of Polish history and culture, including the origins of the Polish coat of arms depicting a white eagle, the founders of Poland named Lech, Czech and Rus, Poland's excellence in ski jumping with famous athletes like Adam Małysz and Kamil Stoch, Poland's strong aviation industry including the Black Hawk helicopter, Polish pilots who participated in dangerous missions during World War 2, Poland's role in the Battle of Britain through the 303rd Fighter Squadron, and the environmental issues threatening Kościuszko Mound.
Jurassic region
This document provides information about several castles and landmarks along the Trail of the Eagles' Nests in Poland:
1. The Trail of the Eagles' Nests is a 163.9 km tourist route between Krakow and Częstochowa, considered one of Poland's best trails.
2. Ogrodzieniec Castle is a ruined medieval castle originally built in the 14th-15th century, and some believe is haunted by dark powers and the ghost of a large black dog.
3. Pieskowa Skała Castle is located within Ojców National Park near Krakow, and features a Renaissance castle built on a limestone cliff above the Prądnik River
Shell Shock (Bash Bug)
It is security bug related to the UNIX Bash Shell. Here I've provided all the info regarding the shell shock vulnerability.
Life in the trenches
Life in the trenches of World War I was miserable and dangerous. Soldiers faced constant threats of death from sniper fire or artillery shells. Trenches were infested with rats and lice that spread disease. Men endured boredom, filthy conditions with little sleep between standing guard or repairing trenches. Even simple tasks like patrolling No Man's Land could result in death from enemy fire or hand-to-hand combat with opposing soldiers. Through it all, the smells of decaying bodies and waste made conditions unbearable.
The Lost Generation
The document provides biographical information on several American authors from the early 20th century who were part of the "Lost Generation". It discusses Ernest Hemingway, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, e.e. cummings, and John Dos Passos, covering details about their lives, careers, notable works, and influences.
The Literature of Trauma from Shell-Shock to PTSD.
The document traces how the terminology used to describe mental health issues in soldiers has evolved over time from the American Civil War to today. It begins with terms like "shell shock" and "battle fatigue" that were used for Civil War and World War I/II soldiers and discusses the transition to the current term "post-traumatic stress disorder" (PTSD). The document also provides perspectives from Vietnam veterans who argue PTSD does not fully capture their experiences and preferences for older terms like "soldier's heart" that recognize the trauma stems from following orders in war.
Nuclear submarine disasters
The Russian nuclear submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea off northern Russia during a naval exercise on August 12, 2000. An explosion occurred while the submarine was preparing to test fire a torpedo. The 118 crew members were unable to surface the submarine as it sank to the bottom over 350 feet below. No distress calls were received from the Kursk. The sinking received international attention and led to reforms in how Russia handles submarine disasters.
Eternal Life
We all need to live forever, and this (living forever) - is actually ... NOT a Miracle! It is natural. To
live forever is natural BY DESIGN. Adam & Eve were created from the get-go To Live Forever!
Only some side-factor mixed itself in, and thus brought anti-living-forever to the whole world; but
that was NOT a natural thing! It was an error, and that error is our mission to correct - and
bounce right back to Living Forever And Ever - As Originally Designed by GD-Almighty.
The first thing that we can do - to usher in Eternal Life, is: to respect every single human and
animal life, regardless of size or nationality; do not even hurt a fly or a mosquito!I once paid a friend of mine One Hundred US Dollars - to get a flying cockroach out of my
apartment! The terms were - to get it out alive and without hurting it! That kind of respect for the Eternal Life of every single living creature - is what ushers in Eternal Life for everyone.

Fede and joaco
This poem describes the horrors of war experienced by soldiers. It depicts soldiers marching exhausted through mud, many having lost their boots. They are deaf to the sounds of other soldiers dropping behind from fatigue. The poem then describes putting on gas masks in a panic as gas attacks occur, and seeing a soldier drowning in a vision. The final stanzas depict in graphic detail the suffering of a dying soldier, with his hanging face and blood gargling from his lungs. The poet concludes that the glory of dying for one's country, which is told to children, does not convey the true horrors of war.

Over 9 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the four years of brutal trench warfare and new military technologies on land, sea and air.
ww2
Hollie's presentation provides information about life in Britain during World War 2, including:
1) When war was announced on the radio, air raid sirens would sound to warn of approaching bombers, which must have been terrifying without modern technology like television.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

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

- 1. 20 th Century Events- World War 1 and “Shell Shock” IB HL Psychology Helena Yeung
- 5. When a soldier is in a strange mental state and is rendered unable to fight, but displaying no wounds. Caused by trauma from war experiences or disturbance to the brain by outside forces (artillery shells). http://www.wfa-usa.org/new/shellshock.htm
- 7. “ What medical officers quickly realized was that everyone had a 'breaking point': weak or strong, courageous or cowardly - war frightened everyone witless. “ - Bourke 'right in the middle of an ordinary conversation' when 'the face of a Boche that I have bayoneted, with its horrible gurgle and grimace, comes sharply into view‘ – An infantry captain
