Truth to Power, by Father Andrew Britz, Intro and Chapter 1Cadence PR
Truth to Power presents the best from twenty years of provocative journalism by Father Andrew Britz, a Benedictine monk at St. Peter’s Abbey in the hinterland of rural Saskatchewan, far from the centres of ecclesiastical and political influence.
Britz was editor of The Prairie Messenger, a prophetic Catholic weekly news journal that has been published by the monks since 1904. He was fearless in speaking truth to the powerful in church and society—to popes and prime ministers, capitalists and clerics. “It is easy producing a prophetic paper year in and year out,” he writes in one of the editorials published in this book. “Prophets call us to a new age.”
The new age for Britz is one that resists an imperial papacy, one in which his church honours and takes seriously the gifts of all the baptized—lay people as well as clerics, woman as well as men, and the poor, especially the poor. Britz’s world is also one where the abuses of liberal capitalism are held in check, where militarization is curtailed, where the earth and all its peoples are treated with respect, and one where all religions act in unity for the common good.
Although Britz is best known for provocative editorials, there is also a deeply contemplative dimension to his writing, the legacy of his life as a monk and a trained liturgist who is deeply steeped in church history.
In Truth to Power, Britz confronts honestly and with clarity the issues that confront us:
The papacy, the bishops, laypeople, women in the church, social justice, economic development, the environment, abortion, birth control, ecumenism, fundamentalism, Christmas, Easter, the mass, Vatican II.

Olivia Noble's prize-winning essay, "Near and not Lost-- The International Memorialization of the Czech Holocaust Torahs" appears in the Fall 2020 edition of The Yale Historical Review.
Warsaw, the capital of Poland and its largest city. Warsaw has gone under this name since the 13th century, and became the capital in 1596. The city sits on the banks of the Vistula River, which divides the city so that two thirds of the city are on the west bank, and the rest on the east. In 1935, Warsaw's size was approx. 55 square miles, with some 1.3 million inhabitants.
After World War I, Warsaw was a major center, not only for European Jewish community for world Jewry as well. The city boasted major Jewish political parties, aid groups, trade unions, and cultural and religious institutions. In contrast to the harsh financial condition, and in fact widespread poverty of most Jews of the city, the Warsaw Jewish community featured a vibrant cultural life, in the fields of art and literature, in the publishing world, and in theaters and clubs. In the months leading up the war, tensions arose between Jews and the Polish population, with a degree of discomfort and uncertainty.
It the study of some Italian students from Reggio Calabria about the Jewish community in their territory. It is an etwinning project with other two schools, a Spanish and a Polish one.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
