The document discusses the origins and history of the Ogham writing system. There are three main theories for its origin: 1) It is named after the Irish god Ogma and was used for flowery speech. 2) It was created by Irish scholars to provide secret communication against Roman Britain. 3) It was invented by early Irish Christian communities to write short messages in Irish. Ogham inscriptions date from the 4th to 7th century AD in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. It is the earliest written form of the Irish language, using perpendicular or intersecting lines.

Anglo-Saxons
The Anglo-Saxon period in Britain lasted from 449 to 1066 AD. This was a time of invasion and settlement, as Germanic tribes from mainland Europe, including the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, migrated to Britain and established kingdoms after the withdrawal of the Roman legions in the early 5th century. The Anglo-Saxons introduced their language and culture, and Britain was gradually converted to Christianity over the course of the period. Various outside threats challenged Anglo-Saxon rule at different points, including the Vikings from the late 8th century and the Norman conquest of 1066, which marked the end of the Anglo-Saxon era.
victorian archtecture
Victorian architecture is characterized by the period of change between the mid-1800s to early 1900s in England. This era saw changes in technology, literature, art, women's rights, religion, fashion, and social structures. This sense of change was reflected heavily in the architectural styles of the period. Some popular Victorian styles included Jacobethan, Renaissance Revival, Neo-Grec, Romanesque Revival, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Gothic Revival. These styles were also influential in architecture in colonial India, often fused with local Mughal and Indian elements in a style known as Indo-Saracenic. Major buildings exhibiting Victorian architecture were constructed in the cities of Kolkata, Delhi, Jaipur

It remained at Kells monastery until the 16th century when it was given to Trinity College Dublin where it remains today. The extraordinary artwork and intricate illuminations found throughout are estimated to have taken 30 years to complete by hand.
Tajmahal
The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Construction began in 1632 AD and took nearly 20 years to complete.

Literature responded to these changes as authors like Dickens addressed social issues. The period saw expansion of the British Empire, development of new technologies like railroads, and debates over religion, science, and women's roles.

Edison and the invention of the incandescent light bulb
Thomas Edison focused on inventing an inexpensive and safe electric light bulb to replace gas lighting in 1878. After many experiments with different filament materials like platinum, he returned to using a carbon filament. The first carbon filament bulb lasted over 13 hours. Edison continued improving the design and was granted a patent for an electric lamp using a carbon filament in 1880. A few months later, Edison's team discovered that a carbonized bamboo filament could last over 1,200 hours, helping make the light bulb practical for widespread commercial use.

In the 6th century, Gaelic-speaking Scots founded the kingdom of Dál Riata in western Scotland and Ireland, though some dispute this origin story. In the 9th century, the kingdoms of the Picts and Scots merged to form the kingdom of Alba. Catholicism was an important religion for centuries, until the Scottish Reformation in 1560 established the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The Jacobite risings in the 18th century sought to restore the Catholic Stuarts to the throne but failed after the Battle of Culloden. Highland clearances then displaced many clans. Many Scots emigrated to places

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
