Divides up the history of the earth based on life- forms that have existed during specific times since the creation of planet.
Is an important tool used to portray the history of the Earth.
Also known as the Great Dying .
96 percent of species died out.
Life on earth descended from the four percent that survived.
CAUSES: Asteroid impact, flood basalt eruptions, catastrophic methane release ,a drop in oxygen levels ,sea level fluctuations.
Ice melts in polar regions which is home to many animals like penguins and polar bears. Melted ice also leads to the rise in sea levels as well as submerging low-dying islands
Global warming gives rise to the El Niño and La Niña phenomenon which brings major disasters such as floods ,drought heatwaves ,and forest fires; destroying habitats and killing its inhabitants.
Change in temperature forces many species to flee from their comfortable habitat. They migrate and invade other territories that are similar to their old ones.
Increases in carbon dioxide concentration also cause our oceans to become more acidic .Acidic water dissolves the shells of many sea creatures such as crabs, shrimps, oysters ,and soon even coral reefs which are home to numerous marine lives.
The name dinosaur comes from the Greek words deinos (“terrible” or “fearfully great”) and sauros (“reptile” or “lizard”). The English anatomist Richard Owen proposed the formal term Dinosauria in 1842 to include three giant extinct animals (Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus) represented by large fossilized bones that had been unearthed at several locations in southern England during the early part of the 19th century. Owen recognized that these reptiles were far different from other known reptiles of the present and the past for three reasons: they were large yet obviously terrestrial, unlike the aquatic ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs that were already known; they had five vertebrae in their hips, whereas most known reptiles have only two; and, rather than holding their limbs sprawled out to the side in the manner of lizards, dinosaurs held their limbs under the body in columnar fashion, like elephants and other large mammals. The extensive fossil record of genera and species is testimony that dinosaurs were diverse animals, with widely varying lifestyles and adaptations. Their remains are found in sedimentary rock layers (strata) dating to the Late Triassic Epoch (approximately 237 million to 201.3 million years ago). The abundance of their fossilized bones is substantive proof that dinosaurs were the dominant form of terrestrial animal life during the Mesozoic Era (about 252.2 million to 66 million years ago). It is likely that the known remains represent a very small fraction (probably less than 0.0001 percent) of all the individual dinosaurs that once lived. Before Richard Owen introduced the term Dinosauria in 1842, there was no concept of anything even like a dinosaur. Large fossilized bones quite probably had been observed long period by

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.
2. Genesis 1:26-27
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our
image, in our likeness, so that they may
rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in
the sky, over the livestock and all the wild
animals, and over all the creatures that move
along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
3. Genesis 1:28-31
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and
increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule
over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over
every living creature that moves on the ground.”
29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the
face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with
seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts
of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures
that move along the ground—everything that has the breath
of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And
there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

7. 10. Philippine Crocodile
Scientific Name: Crocodylusmindorensis
Common Name: Philippine freshwater crocodile
Habitat: Mindoro, only about 100 left
Through the years, many of these Mindoro crocodiles – endemic only
to the Philippines – have disappeared falling prey to relentless hunters.
Mighty and dangerous may the Philippine Crocodile be, its hide is a
prized catch, an expensive material for fashion accessories (e.g., bags,
shoes).
Unlike the saltwater crocodile Lolong, said to be the world’s largest
crocodile at 21 feet long weighing 1,075 kilos, Philippine Crocodiles also
called as Mindoro Crocodile are much smaller growing 3 meters or less
than 10 feet (almost half of Lolong).So it’s not the big saltwater crocs
that are endangered, it’s their smaller cousins.
8. 9. THE MINDORO BLEEDING-HEART
Scientific Name: Gallicolumbaplatenae
Common Name:Kulo-kulo
Habitat: Mt. Siburan, Mindoro
Another species that is fighting for its very existence is
the Mindoro Bleeding-heart, a type of ground dove
with the unmistakable red markings on its chest. The
sad reality is most, of its natural habitat has been
cleared as majority, if not all, of the primary forests of
Mindoro have been cleared.
9. 8. RUFOUS-HEADED HORNBILL
Scientific Name: Aceroswaldeni
Common Name:Kalaw
Habitat: Panay, some part of Zamboanga del Norte,
extinct in Guimaras
This bird with a lot of weight on its horn, is found only
in the Philippines.
That fact alone should make us proud. Had it stayed
that way. The thing is the Kalaw or rufous-headed is in
an extremely rapid population decline or in plain
English their numbers are dying. It’s a shame that we
can’t take care of such a wonderful bird treasure.
10. 7. HAWKSBILL SEA TURTLE
Scientific Name: Eretmochelysimbricata
Common Name:pawikan
Habitat: global
Again here is a story of how a wonderful creature can be
lost in the face of the Earth all because of human impact.
Distinguished for its narrow, pointed beak that earned it its
name as “Hawk’s bill”, this medium-sized vegetarian of a
turtle has been under heavy attack from humans in
general, and Filipinos in particular who hunt them for their
meat and for their shells which are prized material for
many accessories in the fashion industry.
11. 6. RED-VENTED COCKATOO
Scientific Name: Cacatuahaematuropygia
Common Name:Katala, Kalangay
Habitat: Palawan, only about 180 left
You can never mistake this 12 inch-long cockatoo
made up of just two colors: white and red. Like a priest
out to say Holy Massthis bird is all-white with red
feathers around the vent. Perhaps because of its
strikingly-clean personality, the red-vented has
become a victim of the cage-bird trade with a bird
fetching as much as $160 in Manila. And that was in
the late 90’s.
12. 5. PHILIPPINE FOREST TURTLE
Scientific Name: Siebenrockiellaleytensis
Common Name: Palawan turtle
Habitat: Palawan
This turtle may have gotten a misnomer as it is totally not
endemic to the island of Leyte but only in the Palawan island
group.
You can easily distinguish this land turtle by its ginkgo-shaped
vertebral scutes (at its back). Also, a line which is colored pale
white to yellow traverses across its head behind the ears.
They are prized as pets and ranks as one of the most commonly
confiscated species in the Philippines with overseas buyers
visiting the islands to collect them. However, sadly, the
Philippine forest turtle do not do well in captivity making them
avery vulnerable species.
13. 4. PHILIPPINE NAKED-BACKED FRUIT BAT
Scientific Name: Dobsoniachapmani
Common Name:kwaknit
Habitat: Cebu, Negros Island (very small numbers)
Size is not everything. Being the largest cave-dwelling bat in the whole
archipelago measuring up to 220m in total length is no protection.
Instead, the Philippine naked-backed fruit bat has attracted bad men,
being hunted for its meat.
However by some twist of fate, this mega bat specie known for its
naked appearance due to the wings attachment on the midline of their
back, made an amazing recovery. Reported to be extinct in 1970’s, the
night-flier known to very equipped at biting through hard-skinned
fruits making them extremely unpopular to farmers, were rediscovered,
though in small numbers by the 2000’s.
Fortunately, Cebu forests where this bat is endemic to is protected by
law. Negros may do well to follow suit.
14. 3. VISAYAN WARTY PIG
Scientific Name: Suscebifrons
Common Name: Cebu warty pig, Negros warty pig
Habitat: Cebu, Panay, Negros Island
It’s no secret Filipino love to eat pork. One of the major
reason why this wild pig known for the 3 pairs of wart in its
appearance has become so rare.
And to confound things up, the pig has as a subspecies the
Cebu warty pig. Seems things are looking bleak for the boar
as Cebu is the unofficial lechon capital of the Philippines.
Luckily, breeding programs for the specie are being
undertaken in Rotterdam Zoo and San Diego Zoo.
15. 2. TAMARAW
Scientific Name: Bubalusmindorensis
Common Name:Tamaraw
Habitat: Mindoro
The wild buffalo, a distant cousin of the carabao, has been
grazing the land 12,000 years ago, long before there were
any natives to disturb their peace – much less malls.
Today, however, the Tamaraw distinguished by its slightly
smaller build and V-shaped horns as compared to the more
docile carabao, holds its final stand in the rugged
mountains of Mindoro. They are at the brink of extinction
as only about 350 remain.
16. 1. PHILIPPINE EAGLE
Scientific Name: Pithecophagajefferyi
Common Name:Haribon
Habitat: Philippines
Truly a jewel of the Philippines, the Philippine Eagle also known
as monkey-eating eagle is tagged as the national bird of the
Philippines.
Though like a king of the forest this eagle is among the most
powerful of birds with sights that are the stuff of legends, the
Haribon has become one of the rarest. Foremost cause for this
population decimation is habitat loss.
If you fancy catching the Philippine Eagle, think again. Killing
one means you’d have to spend 12 years of your life in prison. Not
to mention paying heavy fines.
