An Integrated Security System Optimises Global Port SecurityEES Africa (Pty) Ltd
Due to global developments, it is becoming increasingly important to enhance and optimise the security of ships and port facilities worldwide. Ports are having to progressively improve safety and security strategies and systems to maintain global security compliance.
Ports are evolving from mere transportation centres to centres directly involved in more complex, value-added activities such as cargo processing and logistics. This requires new processes, practices and technological advances in control, integration and connectivity.

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

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.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear Participants;
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 12th Annual Border
Security Conference taking place on the 12th and 13th February 2019 in
Rome, Italy.
Ensuring security of National Borders is a key priority for all governments and
remains one of the most high-profile law enforcement issues of our time.
Conflict, poverty and political instability have created an unprecedented
number of refugees and economic migrants moving between countries,
placing tremendous pressure on the border security community. In addition,
the growth in air travel means that volumes of travellers are growing at an
exponential rate.
Border Security 2019 will bring together border Security expertise and good
practice focusing on the latest technology being used on the front line and
best practice from Law enforcement from across the globe.
Together with the ever-present threat of cross border terrorism, in particular
from returning foreign fighters, there is a need to share best practice and
to consider how these pressures can be combatted and managed using
innovative technological solutions.
Establishing the identity of people crossing borders is key and this year’s
conference will focus on the new technology being deployed across the
globe to ensure that border law enforcement agencies can differentiate
between travellers particularly using biometric technology, in order to focus
their resources on those that pose the greatest risk.
Join us at this well-established event for an information packed two days,
featuring the latest innovation in Border Security and an opportunity to
meet experts in their field from across the world.

BORDERXPRESS™, by Vancouver Airport Authority
(YVR), is the only automated border control
solution, designed specifically by an airport, for
airports. BORDERXPRESS™ reduces wait times
for every traveller - not just a select few. Our
solution accepts all passports, without any fees
or prior registration requirements, to expedite
processing and reduce border wait times by up
to 50 per cent. BORDERXPRESS™ automates the
administrative functions of border control with
two simple steps. First, travellers complete the
dataentry function themselves using an intuitive,
touch-screen kiosk. The kiosk and software
sends collected information and biometrics
via encrypted transfer to a border control
agency, which assesses the data and returns
a government response. Second, an officer
then verifies the documents for final admission.
This additional step provides governments with
an enhanced level of safety and security, as
compared to competing technologies, as a
border officer will always have the final approval
to allow a traveller into the country. Vancouver
Airport Authority launched BORDERXPRESS™ at
Vancouver International Airport in 2009 and soon
discovered that other airports and governments
might also want the ability to reduce wait
times and increase their international arrivals
traffic without having to add additional space
or staffing resources. YVR has now sold over
1,300 kiosks to 39 airport and seaports locations
worldwide – more than any other automated
passport control provider.

Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given until
payment has been received.
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send
a substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge,
providing that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of the
event. Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide the
conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is unable
to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally able to
provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of orders placed
for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to order. If we
have to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately, but disclaim
any further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
