This study investigated the relationship between a person's height and arm span by measuring 20 subjects between 9-11 years old. The hypothesis was that a person's height would be greater than their arm span. The results found that for most subjects (75%) their height was greater, but for 1 subject (5%) their arm span was greater. On average, heights were approximately 5cm greater than arm spans. The conclusion is that for most children aged 9-11, height is greater than arm span.
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.

1. Length Investigation
Aim:
To investigate the relationship between a person’s arm span and their height.
Hypothesis:
We predict that a person’s height is greater than their arm span.
Materials:
measuring tapes
paper
clipboard
pencils
20 people
Method:
1. Ask someone to lie down on the floor.
2. Make sure their legs are straight.
3. Place the 0 of the measuring tape at the top of the person’s head.
4. Pull the measuring tape down to the person’s feet.
5. Record the number of centimeters on the measuring tape. This is the person’s
height.
6. Ask the person to hold their arms out at right angles (90 degrees) to their
body.
7. Make sure their arms are straight.
8. Place the 0 of the measuring tape at end of their middle finger of one hand.
9. Pull the measuring tape across the person’s body.
10. Record the number of centimeters on the measuring tape at the end of the
middle finger of their other hand. This is the person’s arm span.
11. Check your measurements twice on each person.
12. Repeat the measurements for 19 more people.
13. Record your measurements in a table.

difference
4 out of 20 people’s heights are exactly equal to their arm span.This means they are
shaped like a square. This is 1/5 or 20% of the people measured.
1 person’s arm span was longer than his height. This means he is shaped like a wide
rectangle. This is 1/20 or 5% of the people measured.
15 out 20 people’s height was longer than their arm span. This means they are
shaped like a long rectangle. This is ¾ or 75% of the people measured.
On average, people’s height was 4.89cm (approximately 5cm) greater than their arm span.
Conclusion:
We conclude that at 9-11 years of age, most children’s height is greater than their
arm span.
3. Discussion:
Our sample size was only 20 people. We would need to measure more people to be sure of
the percentage of square and rectangular shaped people in the world.
We had some difficulties getting accurate measurements. We found it hard to decide
whether people should be wearing shoes or not. Some people were measured in shoes,
others in socks. This would change the result by up to 2cm. We also found it hard to keep
the measuring tape straight. Sometimes the tape was bent, which could have made our
measurements less accurate. Also, some people were taller than the length of the tape. We
had to add two measurements together, which could have caused little errors.
We are interested to know if people’s shape changes as they grow. It would be interesting
to repeat this investigation onbabies, younger children, teenagers and adults. That would
help us to understand the percentage of square and rectangular people in the world.
Are you a square or a rectangle?
