The document describes different forms of energy, including potential energy, gravitational energy, elastic energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, magnetic energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, electrical energy, thermal energy, radiant energy, wind energy, mechanical wave energy, sound energy, and geothermal energy. It provides definitions of each type of energy and example videos to illustrate how each form of energy is stored or transferred. The objective is to be able to describe and differentiate between the various forms of energy.

Time-wARpXplorer: creating a playful experience in an urban time warp
In the paper, we present a novel pervasive mobile game named Time-wARpXplorer (TARX) that comprises of a mobile client and an online authoring tool. The game was created to encourage visitors and locals to explore the city of Lancaster by travelling back in time and space to discover their immediate and distant surroundings. In particular, TARX combines exploration of past and present day by allowing players to warp back in time based on the players physical location. This time travel is linked to present day through the implementation of Foursquare’s checkin platform to further raise awareness of historic sites. The paper focuses on the design considerations and implementation of the novel mobile client (Time-wARpMachine) and the requirement these place on the online authoring tool (Xplorer Authoring Tool).

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.
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

Gravitational energy is energy stored in objects that have been raised.
Take out two balls (one heavier than the other). Place the lighter one on the floor in front of a student. Ask if it could hurt them. (No.) Ask if it has energy. (No.) Pick it up and hold it above their head. Ask if it could hurt them. (Yes.) Ask if it has energy now. (Yes.) Why does it have energy now? (Did work to the ball when lifted it.) Hold it higher above their head and ask if it would hurt more now? (Yes.) Why? (It is higher, height affects gravitational potential energy.) Show the student the other ball and hold it at the same height of the first. Ask if the heavier one would hurt more. (Yes.) Ask why. (It has more mass/weight, mass/weight affects gravitational potential energy).

Elastic energy is energy stored in objects that have been stretched or compressed.
Take out two rubber bands (one thicker than the other) or two springs (one with a larger spring constant). Place the small one on a desk in front of a student. Ask if it could hurt them. (No.) Ask if it has energy. (No.) Pick it up, stretch it, and point it at them. Ask if it could hurt them. (Yes.) Ask if it has energy now. (Yes.) Why does it have energy now? (Did work to the band/string when it was stretched.) Stretch it more and ask if it would hurt more now? (Yes.) Why? (It is stretched more, distance stretched affects elastic energy.) Show the student the other band/spring and stretch it the same length as the first. Ask if the second one would hurt more. (Yes.) Ask why. (It is thicker or has a larger spring constant, spring constant affects elastic energy).
