Combining an External pfSense firewall with AskoziaPBX - webinar 2016, EnglishAskozia
VoIP offers many new features in comparison to ISDN and analog. However, as your IP phone system is now part of your IT infrastructure, VoIP is also affected by some risks that haven’t been existing for traditional analog and ISDN phone systems. If a network component is successfully attacked, the whole IT network infrastructure can be in danger. This now includes your IP telephony infrastructure. In this webinar recording, we explain why a firewall is a must-have, and how to connect a pfSense firewall with AskoziaPBX.

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.

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.

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.
4. Pusheen, a female office cat. She works hard in the male dominated office. One day, as Pusheen
was wrapping up her work for the day, she was approached by her supervisor, Grumpy. He
pushed Pusheen into a last minute presentation the very next day.
Pusheen had no other choice but to work on the presentation overnight at the office. She left at
the crack of dawn for a nap before heading back. When she peeked through her blankets the
clock read ’09:30 am’. Pusheen jumped out of bed and rushingly got ready for work.
5. Concept 1 : Extrinsic Motivation
Taking a certain action in response to external pressure or obligation,
might be done to avoid punishment or earn a specific reward. Can
actually inhibit behaviors if used at the wrong time
In the comic, Pusheen prepares for the presentation until late at night in
the office not because she wants to do it but because she did not want to
upset her boss, Grumpy.
6. When she arrived at the meeting room, Grumpy was glaring at her from
the other side. Her coworkers at the side were giggling at her
unkempt appearance. Pusheen who would normally do well at
presentations was stuttering and barely able to present properly.
7. Concept 2 : Charles Horton Cooley
and The Looking-Glass Self
We imagine how we look to others and how other people judge the
appearance that we think we present. If we think the evaluation
is favorable our self-concept is enhanced. If we think the evaluation is
unfavorable, our self-concept is diminished.
In the comic, Pusheen forgot to iron her clothes resulting her to be
worried of what others think about her and get nervous during her
presentation. In the end she screwed up her presentation.
8. Other workers in the office began making fun of her mistakes.
Blaming her being a female cat as the reason for her being
flawed. Pusheen overcome with anger and frustration abruptly
decided to stay at home.
9. Concept 3 : Sexism
Discrimination directed at a specific gender, treating people unequally
due to their gender, especially against women and girls.
In the comic, Pusheen was teased by her colleagues as she did badly in
her presentation due to the fact the she is a female.
10. Concept 4 : Displaced Aggression
Aggression toward a target that exceeds what is justified by provocation
by that target. Instigated by a different source, the aggression is
displaced onto a less powerful or more available target.
In the comic, Pusheen did not defend herself in front of the bullies but
held the grudge and later rant it on her computer while playing tetris.
11. As a resort, she became a stripper in a low class bar
in hopes to get what she had always wanted. Well
expectations aren’t always reality.
Soon she ran out of money, and was trying hard to
make ends meet. There was no way that she will go
back to the male dominated world. She thought to
herself that she would rather work where women
are appreciated and glorified for their work.
12. Concept 5 : Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
A prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by
the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between
belief and behavior.
In the comic, after Pusheen was mentally harassed she thought to
herself that she does not suit the job. Causing her to quit her job and
become a stripper instead.
13. Conclusion
In the comic, a total 5 of Social Psychology concepts are incorporated.
1. Extrinsic Motivation.
2. Charles Horton Cooley and The Looking-Glass Self.
3. Sexism.
4. Displaced Aggression.
5. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
