Sampling of food involves selecting representative portions or units from a lot for analysis. It must be done carefully to ensure reliable analytical data. Proper sample size and containers are important, as are precautions to maintain sample integrity from collection to analysis. Food safety officers are responsible for collecting representative samples using appropriate tools and techniques, packaging them securely, documenting the samples, and dispatching them for analysis according to established procedures. Commodity-specific sampling standards must also be followed.
The basic food law is intended to assure consumers that foods are pure and wholesome, safe to eat, and produced under sanitary conditions. Generally, food law prohibits importation and distribution of food products that are adulterated, or have labels that are false or misleading in any context.

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
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

3. Objective
Sampling involves the selection of a certain portion, number of
container and product units from a particular lot of the same food.
It must be as representative.
Samples are usually collected from a lot of food for random
surveillance, collection of data for a specific purpose, or
monitoring/and to determine the conformity to product standards
specified in the regulation .
Objective
FSO may collect samples from any place where any article of food
is manufactured, or stored for sale, or stored for the manufacture
of any other article of food by Authorized officer for sale, or
exposed or exhibited for sale or where any adulterant is
manufactured or kept.
Food Safety officer while taking samples of food or imported
article of food for analysis shall, follow the specified procedure for
taking samples and sending them for analysis.
4. Importance of Sample Collection
Sample collection is very important to ensure that
analytical data is reliable and to draw a representative
sample.
3 activities in analysis
Collection of representative sample
Sample preparation
Analysis using proper methods & instruments
Potential sources of variation for above activities to be
identified and minimized or avoided
Proper sample size, suitable containers for sampling or
use of appropriate preservatives to prevent spoilage
/damage before analysis.
5. Precautions during sampling
The condition of the sample received for
examination is of primary importance.
A representative sample is essential when
pathogens or toxins are sparsely distributed
within the food.
The number of units that comprise a
representative sample from a designated
lot of a food product must be statistically
significant.
The proper statistical sampling procedure, according to
whether the food is solid, semisolid, viscous, or liquid,
must be determined by the FSO at the time of sampling.
6. Precautions during sampling
• Clean, dry, leak-proof, wide-mouthed and sterile
containers of a size suitable for sample of the
product must be used.
• Sample must be submitted in original and in sealed
condition.
• Dry or canned foods that are not perishable and are
collected at ambient temperatures need not be
refrigerated.
• Collect frozen samples in pre-chilled containers.
• Follow storage norms
7. Sampling plan • type of food product
• the size of food articles to be
sampled
• the degree of hazard to
The criteria should be human health
considered in • the potential for fraud
formulating a • acceptance and rejection
sampling plan: criteria:
• adulteration,
• tolerance limits,
• compositional standards,
• net contents
8. Sampling tools and containers
Samples collected from bulk packages or unpackaged foods sold
at retail must be placed in suitable containers for storage and
handling to be presented for laboratory analysis.
Sampling tools:
The tools available to FSO/ Authorized Officer range from
common tools for general purposes to special tools to be
used in specific situations and for specific examinations of
particular food products.
Common tools such as pliers, spoon, screwdriver and knife
are useful for opening containers, cutting bags of food
products.
9. Sampling tools and containers
Sample containers:
In general, for liquids the FSO/ Authorized Officer should
use clean, dry containers of appropriate waterproof and
leak proof material, including glass, stainless metal, and
suitable plastic material which can be sterilized by heat if
necessary.
The containers must have a secure closure of rubber or
plastic stoppers, or a screw-cap of metal or plastic, coated
with an insoluble, non-absorbent.
For solids or semi-solids, clean, dry, wide-mouth,
cylindrical receptacles of suitable waterproof, material
should be used.
For butter, suitable wide-mouth jars should be used. The
butter must not be allowed to come into contact with paper
or any water or fat-absorbing surface.
10. Sample Collection Techniques:
The FSO/ Authorized Officer must obtained the
following Information;
name of the food;
lot number;
container size or sizes;
product code numbers;
labelling information;
condition of the lot, i.e., broken packages,
evidence of rodent or insect infestation, debris,
etc.;
11. Sampled Unit (Lot)
Every effort should be made to restore the lot from
which the sample is collected to its original condition.
Whenever possible, samples should be collected from
previously unopened boxes or crates, unopened retail
packages, and unopened bulk containers such as
sealed big containers.
Often samples may have to be collected from bulk
containers which have been inadequately covered.
When this happens, the existing condition should be
described in detail, keeping in mind the effect that
opening could have had on the composition of the
product.
12. Sample integrity
The FSO/ Authorized Officer must always be aware of the
perishability of the sample and that, for analytical
significance, the sample must reach the laboratory in a
condition similar to that at the time of sampling.
In taking official samples, many food control authorities
prescribe the use of special tamper-proof containers or
sealing with wax and a seal with the FSO/ Authorized
Officer’s designated identification number. It is usually a
good precaution to have the owner of the goods sign for the
owner’s portion of the sample.
The FSO/ Authorized Officer is responsible for collecting,
holding, sealing, storing and delivering the sample.
Whoever receives the sample at the laboratory has the
same responsibility from that time on.
It is very important that the FSO/ Authorized Officer be
able to document sample integrity from time of collection
to delivery to the analyst, particularly when enforcement
action is being considered.
13. Quantity of Food Samples to be collected

should be secured or sealed to prove their authenticity, i.e., to
ensure that they could not have been tampered.
The stopper shall first be securely fastened so as to prevent
leakage of the contents in transit
The bottle, jar or other container shall then be completely
wrapped in fairly strong thick paper. The ends of the paper
shall be neatly folded in and affixed by means of gum or other
adhesive.

bottom to top of the container, bearing the signature of the
Designated Officer and code number of the sample, shall be
pasted on the wrapper, the signature or thumb impression of
the person from whom the sample has been taken, shall be
affixed in such a manner that the paper slip and the wrapper
both carry a part of this signature or the thumb impression
The outer covering of the packet shall also be marked
with the code number of the sample.
17. DISPATCH OF SAMPLE
All samples packaged for dispatch must be secured with
shock-absorbing materials to protect them from
damage en route.
Samples of frozen foods to be sent overnight may be
packed in insulated cartons containing dry ice that will
last for that length of time.
If special precautions in handling or storing samples are
needed, the FSO/ Authorized Officer should ensure
that persons who will be handling the samples are
informed.
