David-Talbott-The-Saturn-Myth-1980.pdf
This document provides an introduction and overview of the book "The Saturn Myth" by David N. Talbott. It discusses how Talbott was intrigued by Velikovsky's claim that Saturn was once the pre-eminent planetary god in ancient mythology.

The summary argues that ancient sources describe Saturn as the "Great God" or "Universal Monarch" that visually dominated the ancient heavens. Through detailed analysis of symbols and imagery, Talbott contends that early civilization sought to recreate or commemorate Saturn's organization of its "celestial kingdom," and that Saturn's dramatic appearance in the sky at that time inspired humanity's leap into civilization.

2013 History of Civilization - Chapter IV
Bronze Age Greece saw the rise and fall of two major civilizations - the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans of the Greek mainland. The Minoans built large palatial complexes and had a matriarchal religion centered around bull worship. They were devastated by the Thera volcanic eruption around 1630 BCE. The Mycenaeans adopted the Minoan Linear B script and dominated Bronze Age Greece until their own palaces burned down around 1200 BCE, ushering in a "Greek Dark Age."

AAVE: African-American Vernacular English
African American Vernacular English (AAVE) developed from English-based pidgins and creoles spoken by African slaves in America. Certain grammatical and phonological features of AAVE, such as dropping final consonants and replacing /th/ with /f/ or /d/, can also be found in Southern white dialects due to the influence of black wet nurses. AAVE utilizes signifying, where expressions have hidden meanings understood only by slaves. Terms from AAVE such as "calling someone out of their name" and the n-word are examined, in addition to vocabulary from hip hop language like "izzle" words and terms referring to relationships.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
