You need to think out of the box. That is what people say very often. But they never tell you HOW to do it!Thinking laterally can perhaps be described as the non-standard approach to problem solving. This is the kind of thinking that is executed when you feel trapped in a deadlock. To do this, you need a creative spirit that is pushed to the limit. Unlike a vertical thinker who is analytical, rigid, and precise, a lateral thinker is implausible, flexible, and guileful.

Creativity is an odd subject and I learned it hard. But, then I enjoyed learning and sharing the same with the audience. This PPT is a basic content on the topic of creativity and helps in initiating the audience into the subject.

If you want your ideas to be stickier, you’ve got to break someone’s guessing machine and then fix it. But in surprising people, in breaking their guessing machines, how do we avoid gimmicky surprise.
Common sense is the enemy of sticky messages. When messages sound like common sense, they float gently in one ear and out the other.

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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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

Lateral Thinking Puzzles
1. Lateral Thinking
You are driving down the road in your car on a
wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus
stop and you see three people waiting for the
bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming
about.
Knowing that there can only be one passenger in
your car, whom would you choose?
2. Solution
The old lady of course! After helping the old
lady into the car, you can give your keys to
your friend, and wait with your perfect
partner for the bus.
3. Lateral Thinking
Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police
raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They
don't know what he looks like but they know his
name is John and that he is inside the house. The
police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a
mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without
hesitation or communication of any kind, they
immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know
they've got their man?
5. Lateral Thinking
• A man and his son are in a car crash. The
father is killed and the child is taken to
hospital gravely injured. When he gets
there, the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on
this boy - for he is my son!!!' How can this
possibly be?
9. Lateral Thinking
• There was once a recluse who never left
his home. The only time anyone ever
visited him was when his food and
supplies were delivered, but they never
came inside. Then, one stormy winter
night when an icy gale was blowing, he
went upstairs, turned off all the lights and
went to bed. Next morning, he had caused
the deaths of several hundred people.
How?
10. Solution
• He was a lighthouse keeper who switched
off the lighthouse.
11. Lateral Thinking
• Many shops have prices set just under a
round figure, e.g. £9.99 instead of £10.00
or £99.95 instead of £100.00 . It is
assumed that this is done because the
price seems lower to the consumer. But
this is not the reason the practice started.
What was the original reason for this
pricing method?
12. Solution
• The practice originated to ensure that the
clerk had to open the till and give change
for each transaction, thus recording the
sale and preventing him from pocketing
the bank notes.
15. Lateral Thinking
• The famous 'Penny Black', the world's first
postage stamp, was introduced in England
in 1840. The idea of postage stamps was
a great success and was taken up
worldwide. Yet the 'Penny Black' was in
use for only one year before it was
replaced by the 'Penny Red'. Why?
16. Solution
• The postmark used at that time was
always black. It was therefore difficult to
tell whether a stamp had been franked or
not. This led to people re-using used
stamps. On a 'Penny Red' the black
postmark was clearly visible.
17. Lateral Thinking
• Assume there are approximately
5,000,000,000 (5 billion) people on Earth.
What would you estimate to be the result,
if you multiply together the number of
fingers on every person's left-hands? (For
the purposes of this exercise, thumbs
count as fingers, for five fingers per hand.)
If you cannot estimate the number then try
to guess how long the number would be.
18. Solution
• The product of the number of fingers on
the left-hands of every person is zero. It
only takes one person to have no fingers
on their left hand for the product to be
zero, because anything multiplied by zero
equals zero.
19. Lateral Thinking
• A man holidaying abroad fell off a yacht
into deep water. He could not swim and he
was not wearing anything to keep him
afloat. It took 30 minutes for the people on
the yacht to realize someone was missing.
The missing man was rescued two hours
later. Why didn't he drown?
20. Solution
• He fell into the Dead Sea, which lies
between Israel and Jordan. The water is
so salty and dense that anyone in it floats
very easily.
21. Lateral Thinking
• Five pieces of coal, a carrot and a scarf
are lying on a hill near a remote house.
Nobody put them on the lawn but there is
a perfectly logical reason why they should
be there. What is it?
22. Solution
• They were used by children who made a
snowman. The snow has now melted.
23. Lateral Thinking
• A woman gave natural birth to two sons
who were born on the same hour of the
same day of the same month of the same
year. But they were not twins and she had
no access to a time machine. How could
this be?
25. Lateral Thinking
• A man was driving alone in his car when he
spun off the road at high speed. He crashed
through a fence and bounced down a steep
ravine before the car plunged into a fast flowing
river. As the car slowly settled in the river, the
man realized that his arm was broken and that
he could not release his seat belt and get out of
the car. The car sank to the bottom of the river.
He was trapped in the car. Rescuers arrived two
hours later, yet they found him still in the river,
but alive. How come?
29. Lateral Thinking
• A man buys rice at $1 a pound from
American growers and sells them at $0.05
a pound in India. As a result of this he
becomes a millionaire. How come?
30. Solution
• The man is a philanthropist who bought
great quantities of rice to sell to poor
people at prices they could afford. He
started out as a billionaire, but lost so
much money in his good works that he
became a millionaire!
31. Lateral Thinking
A man lives in the penthouse of an
apartment building. Every morning he
takes the elevator down to the lobby and
leaves the building. Upon his return,
however, he can only travel halfway up in
the lift and has to walk the rest of the way
- unless it's raining. What is the
explanation for this?
32. Solution
• The man is too short to reach the upper
elevator buttons, but he can ask people to
push them for him. He can also push them
with his umbrella.
33. Lateral Thinking
• A New York city hairdresser recently said
that he would rather cut the hair of three
Canadians than one New Yorker. Why?
35. Lateral Thinking
• A man is lying dead in a room. There is a
large pile of gold and jewels on the floor, a
chandelier attached to the ceiling, and a
large open window. How did the man die?
36. Solution
• The room is the ballroom of an ocean liner
which sank some time ago. The man ran
out of air while diving in the wreck.
37. Lateral Thinking
• How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story
building onto the ground and live?
39. Lateral Thinking
• A woman has incontrovertible proof in
court that her husband was murdered by
her sister. The judge declares, "This is the
strangest case I've ever seen. Though it's
a cut-and-dried case, this woman cannot
be punished.“ Why?
41. Lateral Thinking
• A man walks into a bar and asks for a
drink. The bartender pulls out a gun and
points it at him. The man says, "Thank
you," and walks out. Why?
42. Solution
• The man has hiccups; the bartender
scares them away by pulling a gun.
43. Lateral Thinking
• A hunter aimed his gun carefully and fired.
Seconds later, he realized his mistake.
Minutes later, he was dead. Why?
44. Solution
• It was winter. He fired the gun near a
snowy cliff, which started an avalanche.
• OR…
• He shot an elephant with a low calibre
rifle. Not powerful enough to kill it, the
elephant became enraged and trampled
him.
45. Lateral Thinking
• A man is returning from Switzerland by
train. If he had been in a non-smoking car
he would have died. Why?
46. Solution
• The man used to be blind -- he's returning
from an eye operation which restored his
sight. He spent all his money on the
operation, so when the train (which had no
internal lighting) goes through a tunnel, he
thinks he's gone blind again and decides
to kill himself. But before he could do it, he
saw the light of the cigarettes people were
smoking and realized he could still see.
47. Lateral Thinking
• A man is dead in a puddle of blood and
water on the floor of an otherwise empty
locked room.
51. Lateral Thinking
• A man is lying dead, face down in the
desert. There's a match near his
outstretched hand. Why?
52. Solution
• He was with several others in a hot air
balloon, crossing the desert. The balloon
was punctured, and they began to lose
altitude. They tossed all their non-
essentials overboard and then their
clothing and food, but they were still
sinking too fast. They drew matches to
see who would jump over the side and
save the others. This man lost.
53. Lateral Thinking
• A man is driving his car. He turns on the
radio, listens for five minutes, turns
around, goes home, and shoots his wife.
Why?
54. Solution
• The radio program is one of those shows
where they call up someone at random
and ask them a question. The announcer
states the name and town of the man's
wife as the person he would call next. He
does so, and a male voice answers. From
this, he gathered his wife was having an
affair.
55. Lateral Thinking
• A man is driving his car. He turns on the
radio, then pulls over to the side of the
road and shoots himself. Why?
56. Solution
• He's a DJ at a radio station and decides
he wants to kill his wife. To establish his
alibi, he puts a pre-recorded record on the
air, quickly drives home, and kills her. On
the way back, he turns on his show and
discovers the record is skipping.
58. Solution
• The woman is a tightrope walker in a
circus. Her act consists of walking the
rope blindfolded, accompanied by music,
without a net. The conductor is supposed
to stop the music when she reaches the
end of the rope, signalling that it's safe to
step off onto the platform. That day, the
usual conductor was ill. The substitute
stopped the music early.
59. Lateral Thinking
• A cabin, locked from the inside, is perched
on the side of a mountain. It is forced
open, and thirty people are found dead
inside. They had plenty of food and water.
Why did they die?
60. Solution
• It was an airplane cabin; the plane
crashed into the mountain.
61. Lateral Thinking
• A man marries twenty women in his village
but isn't charged with polygamy. How
come?
62. Solution
• He's a priest - he's marrying them to other
people, not to himself.
63. Lateral Thinking
• A dead man lies near a pile of bricks and
a beetle on top of a book. How did he
die?
64. Solution
• The man was an amateur mechanic, the
book is a Volkswagen service manual, the
beetle is a car, and the pile of bricks is
what the car fell off.
65. Lateral Thinking
• A man goes into a restaurant, orders
albatross, eats one bite, and kills himself.
Why?
66. Solution
• The man, his wife, and a second man were in a
ship that was wrecked on a desert island. The
man's wife died in the wreck. When there was
no food left, the second man brought what he
said was an albatross but was really part of the
dead wife. Later they were rescued, and at some
point, the first man decides to order albatross at
a restaurant. It tastes nothing like what he was
told was albatross on the island, which makes
him realize he really ate his wife. Unable to cope
with the realization, he kills himself.
67. Lateral Thinking
• Not far from Madrid, there is a large wooden
barn. The barn is completely empty except for a
dead man hanging from the middle of the central
rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long
and his feet are three feet off the ground. The
nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. There
is a puddle of water nearby. It is not possible to
climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man
hanged himself. How did he do it?
73. Lateral Thinking
• Two people in a room alone. One looks
around and realizes he's going to die.
Why?
74. Solution
• It's night time. The one who looks around
sees his own reflection in the window, but
not his companion's. He realizes the other
is a vampire.
