Tycho Brahe was a Danish astronomer born in 1546 who made very precise astronomical observations. He studied at several universities and was given his own island called Hven to live and work on for 20 years. Brahe worked with Johannes Kepler and provided data that helped develop the current model of the solar system. He died in 1601 from mercury poisoning.
Johannes Kepler was a influential scientist/mathematician/astronomer in the Renaissance era and made many changes not only in the field of astronomy, but in mathethematics and optics as well.
Astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences, dating back to antiquity, with its origins in the religious, mythological, cosmological, calendrical, and astrological beliefs and practices of pre-history: vestiges of these are still found in astrology, a discipline long interwoven with public and governmental astronomy, and not completely disentangled from it until a few centuries ago in the Western World (see astrology and astronomy). In some cultures, astronomical data was used for astrological prognostication.
Ancient astronomers were able to differentiate between stars and planets, as stars remain relatively fixed over the centuries while planets will move an appreciable amount during a comparatively short time.

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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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

8. Tycho Brahe was a great scientist. His
work is still being used and studied today, even though he died
more than four hundred years ago. He was an astronomer and so
much more, and did so much for science and the Scientific
Revolution. Although the last of his line, his grandson, Otto Tyge,
died in 1662, his work and his impact on history, lives on.
Editor's Notes
Tycho Brahe was born on December fourteenth, 1546. He was born in the town of Scania, a town that, at that time, was part of Denmark but now is part of Sweden. Tycho was born Tyge Ottesen (Ottay sun) Brahe, named after his father who was a very important person in the court of the Danish king, but then in later years he changed his name to a Latinized name of Tycho Brahe. Tycho was one of ten kids, but his twin brother died at birth and his sister died at the young age of thirteen. When Brahe was a young child, he was “abducted” by his uncle. Tycho was given an island by King Fredrick the second from Denmark, and then lived on it for twenty years. He had eight kids, but only six of them lived to adulthood. Tycho died on October 24, 1601 at the age of 54, from what was thought to be a bladder or kidney ailment but some recent investigations show that he might have died of mercury poisoning due to the high levels of mercury found in his moustache hairs.
When he was only 12, in April 1559, Tycho began studies at the University of Copenhagen. Later, in 1562 when he was sixteen years old, Tycho’s uncle sent him to the University of Leipzip to continue his study law. He studied at this University until he was 18 years old. Tycho at age 17 made his first recorded observation, overlapping of the planet of Jupiter and Saturn. That was when Tycho left law and began studying astronomy. Then, in 1565-1570, Tycho travelled throughout Europe. He studied at Wittenberg which was in the town of Martin Luther’s campaign against the Roman Catholic Church, the University of Rostock, the University of Basel in Switzerland and the city of Augsburg.
Tycho was rumored to have had a tame moose, which “followed him like a dog”. The moose had been sent to the castle of Landskrona, near a city close to Hven, to humor a nobleman there. Another scientist wrote Tycho a letter, asking if there was an animal faster than a deer that he could use for his studies. Tycho replied saying there was none, but that he could send his pet moose. After the scientist replied again saying he would be happy to take the moose, Tycho informed him that his moose had actually just died.The incident had happened that night during dinner. The moose had walked up the castle stairs and then proceeded to drink beer until he was extremely intoxicated. It had then fallen down the stairs, and broken a leg. Although it had the best care possible, the moose had died shortly afterwards.
Tycho Brahe was a man of many talents. He began studying law, on the urging of his uncle, and switched from that to astronomy in later years. However, he was, throughout his entire career, many other things than an astronomer. He was a mechanic, cartographer, astrologer, alchemist and a pharmacologist.
