When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines in 1521, the colonizers used art as a tool to propagate the Catholic faith through beautiful images. With communication as problem, the friars used images to explain the concepts behind Catholicism, and to tell the stories of Christ’s life and passion.

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.

discharged from the Academy. studies.
4. Juan entered the Escuela de
Bellas Artes de San Fernandouela,
where he befriended the painter
Don Alejo Vera. Luna was
discontented with the style of
teaching in school and decided that
it would be much better to work
with Vera.
5. O It was in 1878 when his artistic talents
was established with the opening of the
first art exposition in Madrid which
was called the Exposicion Nacional de
Bellas Artes (National Demonstration
of Beautiful Arts). From then on, Luna
became engrossed in painting and
produced a collection of paintings that
he exhibited in the 1881 Exposition.
6. His La Muerte de Cleopatra (The
Death of Cleopatra) won him a silver medal
and came in second place. Luna's growing
reputation as an artist led to
apensionado (pension) scholarship at 600
pesos annually through the Ayuntamiento of
Manila.
The condition was that he was obliged
to develop a painting which captured the
essence of Philippine history which would
then become the Ayuntamiento's property.
7. In 1883 Luna started the painting
demanded of him by the Ayuntamiento.
In May 1884, he shipped the large
canvas of the Spoliarium to Madrid for
the year's Exposición Nacional de Bellas
Artes. He was the first recipient of the
three gold medals awarded in the
exhibition and Luna gained recognition
among the connoisseurs and art
critics present.
8. O On June 25, 1884, Filipino and
Spanish nobles organized an event
celebrating Luna's win in the
exhibition. That evening, Rizal
prepared a speech for his friend,
addressing the two significant
things of his art work, which
included the glorification of genius
and the grandeur of his artistic
skills.
9. Luna developed a friendly
relationship with the King of
Spain and was later commissioned by
the Spanish Senate to paint a large
canvas which was called the La Batalla
de Lepanto (The Battle of Lepanto).
He moved to Paris in 1885 where he
opened his own studio and befriended

agreement he had with the
Ayuntamiento of Manila. Depicted in
this piece was the blood compact
ceremony between the Datu

the Malacañan Palace. He also sent
two other paintings in addition to the
one required; the second canvas sent
to Manila was a portrait of López de
Legazpi reconstructed by Luna from
his recollection of a similar portrait
he saw in the hall of the Cabildo, and
the third was of Governor-general

paintings are generally described as
being vigorous and dramatic. With its
elements of Romanticism, his style
shows the influence
of Delacroix, Rembrandt,
and Daumier.
14. On December 8, 1886, Luna
married Maria de la Paz Pardo de
Tavera, a sister of his friend Felix
and Trinidad Pardo de Tavera. The
couple traveled to Venice and Rome
and settled in Paris. They had one
son, whom they named Andrés, and
a daughter nicknamed Bibi who died
in infancy. Luna was fond of
painting his wife.
15. O However, the jealous Luna
frequently accused Paz of having an
affair with a certain Monsieur
Dussaq. Finally in a fit of jealousy,
he killed his wife and mother-in-law
and wounded his brother-in-law,
Felix, on September 23, 1892. He
was arrested and murder charges
were filed against him.
16. Luna was acquitted of
charges on February 8, 1893,
on grounds of temporary
insanity; the "unwritten law" at
the time forgave men for
killing unfaithful wives.
17. O He was ordered to pay the Pardo de
Taveras a sum of one thousand six
hundred fifty one francs and eighty
three cents, and an additional
twenty five francs for postage, in
addition to the interest of
damages. Five days later, Luna went
to Madrid with his brother, Antonio
Luna, and his son, Andrés
18. In 1891 Luna moved back to the
Philippines and traveled to Japan in 1896,
returning during the Philippine Revolution of
the Cry of Balintawak. Unfortunately, on
September 16, 1896, he and his
brother Antonio Luna were arrested by Spanish
authorities for being involved with
the Katipunan rebel army.
Despite his imprisonment, Luna was still
able to produce a work of art which he gave to
a visiting priest. He was pardoned by the
Spanish courts on May 27, 1897 and was
released from prison and he traveled back to
Spain.
19. In 1898, he was appointed by the
executive board of the Philippine
revolutionary government as a member of
the Paris delegation which was working for
the diplomatic recognition of
the República Filipina (Philippine Republic).
In 1899, upon the signing of the Treaty of
Paris (1898), Luna was named a member of
the delegation to Washington, D.C. to
press for the recognition of the Philippine
government.
20. He traveled back to the Philippines in
December 1899 upon hearing of the
murder of his brother Antonio by
the Kawit Battalion in Cabanatuan. On
December 7, 1899, Luna suffered a heart
attack and died there. His remains were
buried in Hong Kong and in 1920 were
exhumed and kept in Andrés Luna's house,
to be later transferred to a niche at the
Crypt of the San Agustin Church in the
Philippines.
21. O Five years later, Juan would be
reinstated as a world renowned
artist and Peuple et Rois, his last
major work, was acclaimed the
best entry to the Saint Louis
World's Fair in the United States.
Unfortunately some of his
paintings were destroyed by fire
in World War II.
