The Picts inhabited northern and northeastern Scotland. They were excellent warriors who often went into battle naked to display their tattooed bodies, as described by the Romans. The Picts seem to have formed a tribal confederation and had a cultured society with skilled craftsmen. They were likely Christianized in the 6th century by Irish missionaries and were known for their carved stone crosses.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

2. The Picts cupaban north and northeast Scotland . Were excellent warriors and
the Romans called " Picti " ( painted ) since most of the time they went to battle
completely naked to show their tattooed bodies. Customary also see among the
Scythians . Escoto has the same meaning of " painted " .
It really seems that the custom of painting was between all Scottish or Celtic
peoples were Picts , so it is difficult to discern who takes the habit from whom.
The Picts seem that formed a tribal confederation. They inherited their rights ,
property names and their mothers It was a cultured society that could afford to
employ all kinds of highly skilled craftsmen , particularly sculptors who left us a
wonderful legacy of carved stones . They imaginary of the Celtic cross ( were
Christianized in the sixth century by Irish ) should be .

Alnwick Castle is located in Northumberland ,
England, and is the residence of the duke of the
same name . It was built after the Norman Conquest
and has been renovated and remodeled several
times. Yves de Vescy , Baron of Alnwick, erected the
oldest part of the castle in 1096. It was built to
defend the northern border of England against
Scottish invasion. The castle was besieged in 1172
and again in 1174 by William the Lion, King of Ecocia
, which was finally caught outside its walls during
the Battle of Alnwick. In 1309 the castle was bought
by the Bishop of Durham Henry Percy , who
thereafter became Duke of Northumberland. The first
Lord Percy of Alnwick restored the castle and the
Torre del Abad. In 1404 the Percy rebelled against
Enrique IV , who besieged and took the castle.

The Kingdom of Scotland emerged in the year 840 by the union of the Scots clans (Celtic peoples from
Ireland) with the Picts (ancient inhabitants of the region). At the end of the thirteenth century the
English monarchy meddles in the internal squabbles of Scotland and try to dominate the country. The
legendary leader William Wallace defeated the English in 1297 (Battle of Stirling) and ensures
independence. Anyway, the British claims and therefore tensions between the two countries will persist
for centuries. After the death of Queen Elizabeth, the crown of England passed in 1603 at the hands of
his nearest relative, King James VI of Scotland. Since then, Scotland and England are two different but
with the same king nations. However, the sovereign will reside in London and the English hegemony
over Scotland will be growing. In 1707 with the so-called Act of Union, the United Kingdom of Great
Britain is founded; Scotland lose what remains of their autonomy and dissolves parliament. In 1715,
1719 and 1745 major armed uprisings against British rule led by the "Jacobites" (with lukewarm support
from France), supporters of James Stuart, pretender to the crown of Scotland are produced. After the
defeat, many Scottish nobles lose their properties and are replaced by English nobles, as well as
thousands of peasant families are displaced to marginal and unproductive areas. During the eighteenth
century Scottish crowds pushed by poverty they emigrate to America or are forced to join the army. In
fact, during the Napoleonic Wars, most British soldiers are Welsh, Irish and Scottish fundamentally. In
the late nineteenth century Scottish nationalism reborn, but charged greater vigor in the last decades of
the twentieth century after the social and economic effects of Thatcherite Conservative government. In
1998 Scotland gets some regional concessions and parliament is restored, albeit with limited scope.
