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.

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.
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.
1. Whose Session Is It Anyway?
A Session where the Questions are made up and the
points don't matter
2. 1. “Students who whoop, cheer and clap should face
‘consequences’ because they are excluding X people”,
delegates at the National Union Students conference
said.
Audience members were repeatedly warned that they
must cease whooping to express support for a speaker,
accessibility is compromised. The suggested alternative
was the more inclusive gesture of Y (2 words.)
8. 3. Designed by Qamrul Hassan, the flag of Bangladesh
features a red disc slightly offset on a green field. The
green field represents the lush green land while the red
disc represents the sun rising over Bengal and the blood
of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh.
Why is the disc offset?
11. 4. John Hinckley Jr. famously tried to assassinate Ronald
Reagan in 1981 to get the attention of Jodie Foster after
watching Taxi Driver and being obsessed with her.
Jerry Parr was the secret Service agent who was credited
with saving Reagan’s life by pushing him into the
limousine as soon as he heard gunshots.
Parr’s interest in joining the Secret Service stemmed from
watching Code of the Secret Service(1939) as a boy.
Who played Agent ‘Brass’ Bancroft in Code of the Secret
Service?
14. 5. What project was initially detailed for Port Said (the
mouth of the Suez Canal) and was called ‘Progress’ or
‘Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia’.
The creator approached the Khedive of Egypt, Ismail
Pasha but the project never materialised and we know of
this project in an entirely different theme and garb than
the one that Ismail Pasha was presented with.
17. 6. Racial stereotyping is omnipresent. However African Americans stereotypes
are present in pop culture as well. From fried chicken to a propensity for
violence, there's no getting away from these. However certain 'red' (Literally.
Not Communist.) stereotypes are being used to this day. In fact, imagery of the
fruit X had been used by detractors during Barack Obama's 2008 campaign. A
similarly red drink Y (Brand name.) has racial overtones as well, perhaps being
popularised by the movie Friday. ID X and Y.
20. 7. X was employed into service for the East India Company and given
command of the Wicked Wench. However he refused to comply with
his employer's orders and set free a contingent of 100 slaves. When his
employer came to know, he set the Wicked Wench on fire and sunk it,
possibly because it was just good business. The ship was then brought
back, albeit with a different hull. Identify X.
23. 8. Jungletrax Abiding Ovation is the name of a contestant in
the Westminster Dog Show, one of the world's most famous
and exclusive dog shows organised by the Westminster
Kennel Club. She is one of the many 'exceptional' entries in
the Westminster dog show. Why are these contestants
exceptional, marking something that hasn't been done in the
141 years of the Club's long history?
26. 9. Art Fong, whose job title is "Green Chemistry Program Manager,"
manufactures half a gallon of X each day just so Apple can test it out on
some of its new products. By placing different components in jars of the
artificial X, they can closely monitor samples to ensure that nickel and
other allergens and irritants stay where they belong, since it nickel
especially is used in the Apple Watch and the iPhone. What is X?
29. 10. Tethys, a 660 mile wide moon of Saturn is made mostly of ice, which gives it
an almost spaceship like sheen, in fact only Enceladus is brighter than it
amongst Saturn's moons. It also has on its surface, the Odysseus crater, one of
the largest craters seen in the solar system. For what reason did Tethys, which
was already popular amongst astronomers, very recently undergo a resurgence
in terms of popularity? For brownie points: Give the three word phrase from
pop culture which connects Tethys to the reason itself.
Image follows.
33. 11. The Sisters of the Valley claim they infuse their products with healing
powers through a series of rituals. For starters, they only manufacture from the
new moon to the full moon. The sisters sold their products on Etsy until the e-
commerce site gave them the boot in 2016 for violating their policy. Now the
sisters have their own website. Their religion is viewed with skepticism by most.
What policy did they violate/why were their products removed/why is their
religion looked upon with skepticism?
36. 12. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center has Welcome written in 9 languages. English,
Japanese, Chinese, German, French, German, Spanish, Italian and X. Identify X
which is not Hindi, because the NRIs and PIOs who work there don't know Hindi. :P
The same language was used to inscribe the name WORF on the Window
Observational Research Facility found aboard the ISS. Connect or identify the
language X.
Image follows
40. 13. Anyone with an IQ over 80 is aware that iPhones are
ridiculously overpriced. This is what OnePlus capitalised
on with their flagship killing smartphones. But after the
OnePlus 3T comes the OnePlus 5. The company claims
that the reason for this nomenclature is their employees’
obsession with Rod Horry, the legendary NBA player with
the jersey number ‘5’, they have a few framed at their
company HQ. This was not the real reason however. The
real reason is something that most companies in the
company’s country of origin believe in.
What do most companies believe in?
Why did they hide the real reason and go with this jersey
number reason?
42. 4 is pronounced like death
One plus, Oppo and Vivo are all subsidiaryes of BBK
electronics, a Chinese company.
Letting customers know of the chinese heritage of
phones spells doom in western markets. The same
reason why Lenovo markets its phones in the western
markets under the MOTO brand and features caucasians
in ads that could make Hitler proud.
43. 14. Hypovolemic shock has 4 stages and is
sometimes known as the X staging of
hypovolemic shock, as the stages of blood
loss(under 15%vol, 15-30% vol, 30-40%vol
and above 40% vol) mimic a certain
something from the world of sport.
48. The hypothesis states that a person is more likely to take
up a profession that befits his or her name.
Next up, written round, short one.
49. Bamboozling medicotechnobabble:
Give the common(er) name for the following :
1.Veisalgia: What follows Last night.
2.Horripilation. The horror.
3.Borborygmi. I'm hungry.
4. Muscae volitantes. I see them. Can you? No, you can't.
5. Sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia: We all scream.
6. Morsicatio buccarum: This one is painful. Very painful. Bite me.
51. Answers
1. Hangover
2. Goosebumps
3. Stomach growls
4. Things you see floating in your eyes when staring out
into blank space esp the blue sky
5. Brain freeze
6. Biting your cheeks while talking/chewing
52. 16.ID the curve drawn which most of have heard of in a
medical context.
This is hypocycloid ie it is drawn by a circle moving inside
a larger circle, a roulette pattern movement.
Image follows
56. 17. Ward Cunningham had started developing his pet
project in Portland, oregon and installed it on the internet
domain c2.com on 25 March 1995.
He named it after the Hawaiian word for quick and it
stuck in his head because an airport employee had asked
him to take the X-shuttle, a bus that runs between the
airport terminals
59. 18. Songkran, or Thai New years Day is 13 April every
year but the holiday period includes 14-15 april too.
The word Songkran comes from which Sanskrit word
literally meaning astrological passage or loosely, a
transformation or change?
The google doodle for this years Songkran follows.
63. 19. While most lists of people having heterochromia
feature X, he actually had anisocoria. Anisocoria is a
condition chracterised by unequal pupil size, in X’s case
the left pupil was permanently dilated. This caused the
illusion of heterochromia as the left pupil did not respond
to changes in light and appeared darker.
Anecdotes point to a fallout between 15year old X and
george underwood, his friend and a lusty blow was
exchanged over a girl both looked to date, causing the
condition.
Who is X?
66. 20. The Dothraki horde are terrified of the sea and it is
apt seeing as that they are modelled on the Mongols, the
huns and the other nomadic tribes that dominated the
Central Eurasian Steppes.
The fear of the sea is a reference to a failed invasion of
an island nation by the Mongols under Kublai Khan.
Which Island nation?
Why did they fail, an act of ‘divine’ providence, if you will,
giving rise to a term that gained prominence in WW2 Axis
efforts.
69. 21.A German colony on the West Coast of Africa, X is
known to have one of the most famous Ys in the world by
the name of Caprivi Strip. Y is a word that comes into use
due to the appearance of such structures on maps. Also
called Salients, what is Y?
Interestingly, the Caprivi Strip was acquired by Germany
from UK in return for control of Zanzibar. The Caprivi
Strip allowed Germany to have access to the Zambezi
River and via it, the East Coast of Africa and its eastern
colony Tanganyika. However, the Zambezi proved
unnavigable due to Z. (IMG)
ID X,Y, Z
73. 22. Since Brexit, a number of British citizens have
petitioned for removal of all french among other mainland
languages from all official documents.
However, removal of French is tricky especially for British
passports, give me two reasons why.
75. The royal coat of arms itself has french: Dieu et Mon
Droit
Passport is a loanword from french
76. 23. Miraphoro Mina and Eduardo Lima run ‘Minalima’ a
graphic design studio. They designed all the artwork on
the film set at Leavesden Film Studios owned by Warner
Brothers between 2001-2010.
They are most famously associated with creating the
design elements of a franchise and have sought
inspiration from Nazi and Soviet propaganda material for
the most iconic of their creations, which serves as a key
device for furthering the plot.
Hint: GIF
79. 23. The then 12 year old X was fuming over a thief
having stolen his bicycle. He met a police officer, Joe E
Martin and said that he was going to ‘whup’ the thief.
At this, Joe E Martin told the little boy that he needed to
do something in order to exact revenge on the thief and
the rest is history.
What crucial event are we talking about?
82. 24. “…this bull is a bull and this horse is a horse…If you
give meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be
very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning, what
ideas and conclusions you have got, I obtained too, but
instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the
painting and paint the objects for what they are.”
Which painter is the speaker?
Which work of his is he talking about?
85. 25. X’s ancestors migrated to Awadh in the 18th C and
eventually settled in a small town of Kintoor, just outside
Lucknow. X’s grandfather departed on a pilgrimage to the
tomb of Imam Ali in Najaf, Ottoman Iraq and never
returned, settling in the country of their origin, in a village
that shares its name with X’s famous last name.
X also used ‘Hindi’ as a pen name for some of his
ghazals.
This connection to India is especially brought out by
some conspiracy theorists who allege that X stylised the
current flag of his country with a symbol that bears a
similarity to the symbol of the Sikhs.
88. 26. A X goat is a trained animal used in general herding.
The X is trained to associate with sheep or cattle, leading
them to specific destinations. In stockyards, a X will lead
sheep to slaughter while its own life is spared.
In cattle herds, they are known as X steer. This term
came to pop culture prominence after the pilot episode of
Westworld.
ID X
92. 27. X is the name given to the Meme Stock Exchange, a
pun on an existing stock exchange. Headed by a
Brandon Wink and Ron Vaisman, a 12 person team has
taking this concept from a subreddit to a fully functioning
site.
The site, lets one wager on value of internet memes and
gives one an idea about which meme will go viral.
95. 28. What are these reasons talking about?
1. In early versions, the data would be written to a buffer
an then acted upon as and when the OS had free
resources. The buffer uses PC memory and therefore
users could encounter problems.
2. After a write command, stable power was needed for
0.25 s. This is a fundamental physical problem, some
writes may leave a logical 1 bit in an electrical 0.72 state.
When the company realised what the users were doing,
they decided to sync the whole action, to prevent users
from facing data loss.
98. 29. X is one of the rare double Nobel laureates, winning
both in Physics. Won in 1956, for inventing the Transistor
and again in ’72 for Theory of Superconductivity
At the Nobel Prize Ceremony of 1956, X brought only one
of his 3 children to the ceremony an was chided by King
Gustaf VI Adolf. X assured the king that the next time he
would bring all his children the next time. He kept his
promise.
Now thats what swag is, if you don't now Nobel winners,
this is one reason you should know them.
101. 30. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that infects rats. Its
lifecycle is split between two organisms, it grows in arts
but reproduces elsewhere. However, this cannot be done
without inhibition an evolutionary trait. Even when the
parasite is cleared and it’s no longer in the brain of the
animal, some kind of permanent change in long term
behaviour persists. It is speculated that it causes
hypomethylation of vasopressin related genes in order to
decrease aversion to danger.
Where doe the protozoa reproduce and what modification
does it produce in rats to achieve this?
