The 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred in the disputed Kashmir region located along the border of India and Pakistan. The 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck near the cities of Muzaffarabad and Balakot, killing over 74,000 people in Pakistan and 1,307 in India. The earthquake destroyed homes and infrastructure, leaving over 3 million people homeless. A lack of evacuation plans and poorly constructed buildings exacerbated the death and destruction from the powerful earthquake.

Cyclone Case Study Odisha 1999 Super Cyclone in India.cojitesh
In 1999, Odisha, India, was struck by a devastating super cyclone, claiming thousands of lives and causing widespread destruction. The cyclone, known as Cyclone 05B or Super Cyclonic Storm, made landfall on October 29, 1999, with wind speeds exceeding 250 km/h (155 mph). The impact was catastrophic, leading to extensive flooding, infrastructure damage, and loss of life.
Despite efforts to evacuate residents and prepare for the storm, the sheer force and intensity of the cyclone overwhelmed the region's infrastructure and emergency response capabilities. The aftermath of the cyclone left thousands dead and many more injured, homeless, and in need of urgent assistance.
In the face of such devastation, communities rallied together, and aid agencies and governments mobilized to provide relief and support to those affected. The Odisha cyclone of 1999 stands as a somber reminder of the vulnerability of coastal regions to natural disasters and the importance of preparedness, resilience, and coordinated response efforts in mitigating their impact.
This PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) is a case study of the Bhuj Earthquake 26th January 2001, prepared by my friend Nitin. I'm uploading this PPT inly because it may useful to some one in their study.
An earthquake of magnitude 7.6 Mw occurred 100 km NE of Islamabad at 0850 local time (0350 GMT) on October 08, 2005. The epicenter of the main shock was located 19 km northeast of Muzaffarabad. Designated as the deadliest earthquake in Pakistan, it took a death toll of more than 80,000 human lives.

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.

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.

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.

between the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and the Indian-controlled Kasmir, near the cities of
Muzaffarabad and Balakot. Kashmir is found on the destructive boundary between the
Eurasian plate and the Indian plate.
What happened? At 8:50am on the 8th October 2005 a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Pakistan
controlled region of Kashmir. The epicentre struck 19km north north-east of Muzaffarabad,

Immediate responses
$62 billion of aid was pledged
Locals tried to help people who were
trapped in buildings.
Military hospitals opened for civilian
casualties
Long term responses
Indian government has not requested
international assistance.
Re-establishing water supplies
Rebuilding homes
How was the hazard managed?There was no evacuation procedure in place in case of an earthquake
and the buildings were poorly built and prone to collapse in the event of an earthquake. The hazard
was not managed.
Why was the death toll so high?Happened on a Saturday morning when children were in school so
children were trapped by the school buildings collapsing. The earthquake occurred in the month of
Ramadan so many people were napping after having a pre-dawn meal which meant that they were
killed in their beds when their houses collapsed.
