Shani, age 15: While I was learning to resist the temptation of hunger, I walked into the kitchen when no one was around, took a slice of bread out the packet, toasted it, spread butter on it, took a deep breath and bit. Guilty. I spat it in the trash and tossed the rest of it in and walked away. Seconds later I longed for the toast, walked back to the trash, popped open the lid and sifted around in the debris. I found it and contemplated, for minutes, whether to eat it. I brought it close to my nose and inhaled the smell of melted butter. Guilty. Guilty for trashing it. Guilty for craving it. Guilty for tasting it. I threw it back in the trash and walked away. No is no, I told myself. No is no.
… And no matter how hard I would try to always have The Perfect Day in terms of my food, I would feel the guilt every second of every day. It reeked of shame, seeped with disgust and festered in disgrace. It was my desire to escape the guilt that perpetuated my compulsion to starve.
In time I formulated a more precise list of “can” and “can’t” in my head that dictated what I was allowed or forbidden to consume…. It became my way of life. My manual. My blueprint. But more than that, it gave me false reassurance that my life was under control. I was managing everything because I had this list in front of me telling me what—and what not—to do….
In the beginning, starving was hard work. It was not innate. Day by day I was slowly lured into another world, a world that was as isolating as it was intriguing, and as rewarding as it was challenging….
That summer, despite the fact that I had lost a lot of weight, my mother agreed to let me go to summer camp with my fifteen-year-old peers, after I swore to her that I would eat. I broke that promise as soon as I got there…. At breakfast time when all the teens raced into the dining hall to grab cereal boxes and bread loaves and jelly tins and peanut butter jars, I sat alone cocooned in my fear. I fingered the plastic packet of a loaf of white sliced bread, took out a piece and tore off a corner, like I was marking a page in a book, onto which I dabbed a blob of peanut butter and jelly the size of a Q-tip. That was my breakfast. Every day. For three weeks.
I tried to get to the showers when everyone else was at the beach so nobody would see me. I heard girls behind me whispering, “Tha ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. Prosocial Behavior
23/4/14
Prosocial behaviors are those who intend to help other people. It can be divided into
two types, which is either the egoistic or the altruistic model. The egoistic model involves
behaviors that are done for selfish reasons whereas the altruistic model involves behaviors that
are done for selfless reasons. I’ve had tons of experiences of helping people, especially charity
drives and what not. For example, it was Christmas Eve last year, where I was having dinner
alone while my family was off for their Europe trip. I was about to drive off from the restaurant
when I noticed the empty lot next to me had a poor family covered in a big blanket. I drove
back to the restaurant, bought some food for the family and just spent my time with them. It
didn’t matter to me when I had to pay for them, especially when I did not expect a single favor
from them. I just sat down with them, and talked with them while they had their dinner. I
watched them eat in joy, probably because they couldn’t afford to eat anything for a while.
From this experience, I can see that I am an altruistic model in prosocial behavior. I was able to
help a family without expecting anything from them. In my honest opinion, I believe that there
is no need to expect a favor once you’ve helped someone. As long as other people are happy, it
is almost as good enough as it is to see them happy.
