The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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

That's A Killer Look - A Study of Chemicals in Personal Care Products
1. !"#!$%&#&

<6=-2;9:&49=6&<=20/4.-
The average adult American uses 9 personal care products every day,
exposing themselves to 126 different ingredients, including many
industrial chemicals.2
Most people assume that everyday consumer
products, and the chemicals they contain, have been tested for
safety. Unfortunately, that’s not true. Our national chemical safety
system is broken, and we are paying the price – in health problems
and increased costs to our health care system and economy.
Cosmetics and personal care products are one significant source of
exposure to dangerous and untested chemicals. Because we put cosmetic
products directly on our bodies, the potential for immediate absorption
or ingestion is high. These products may be made from 12,500 different
ingredients, most of which have not been assessed for safety by any
publicly accountable body.2
Only 11 cosmetic ingredients have ever been
banned or restricted by the U.S. government. The sad reality is that most
times we put a mainstream cosmetic or personal care product on our
bodies, we are dosing ourselves with hazardous and untested chemicals.
Fortunately, public pressure is creating change. Consumer demands
are forcing many companies to replace some toxic ingredients. Smart
companies are prospering by making safer products. Several states have
passed innovative laws to identify and phase out the most hazardous
chemicals in everyday products. Momentum is building for national change
to protect our health, reduce unnecessary health care costs, and grow our
economy through investment in “green” chemistry and safe products.
Out of 12,500 different ingredients in
cosmetics and personal care products, nearly
90% have not been assessed for
safety by any publicly accountable entity.
2. >59.&>6&?80
We analyzed twelve cosmetic and personal care products used
by young people in Maine to assess their safety. We studied how
ingredients of these products are regulated, and researched the
specific ingredients listed on the product labels. We also tested the
products for the presence of three chemicals that would not be listed
on labels, but that we thought the products might contain.
To research ingredients listed on product labels, we accessed the
extensive Skin Deep cosmetics safety database maintained by the
Environmental Working Group, which compares ingredients to over 50
toxicity and regulatory databases. We assessed which ingredients of
the products studied have been named as Chemicals of High Concern
by the State of Maine. (Maine CHCs have been proven hazardous to
humans by an authoritative government body.) We also sent all 12
products to an analytical testing laboratory, where they were tested
for the presence of three chemicals (phthalates, formaldehyde, and
1,4-Dioxane) using approved methods and protocols.
>59.&>6&@2/;0
Our safety analysis produced three key findings.
1. Cosmetic and personal care product ingredients are almost entirely
unregulated. Many are toxic, and most have not been tested for safety.
2. Almost every product we analyzed contains ingredients linked to cancer,
reproductive and developmental problems, immune system problems,
and other health effects, in addition to many ingredients for which no
health and safety information is available.
3. Several products we tested contain dangerous chemicals that are not
listed as ingredients on the product labels.
Cosmetics and personal care products may contain 12,500 different
ingredients.3
Almost 90% of these ingredients have not been assessed
for safety by any publicly accountable authority (including the U.S.
government and the cosmetics industry’s self-regulating body).4
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cannot require pre-
market safety testing of cosmetic and personal care products or their
ingredients.5
FDA does not even have authority to require approval of
cosmetic labels for accuracy before the products are marketed.6
Ingredients for which there is no publicly available safety information
are found in almost every product on the market.7
Ingredients
linked to cancer are found in over 1/3 of cosmetics and personal care
products.8
Only 11 ingredients have ever been banned or restricted
by the U.S. FDA.9
Products may also contain chemicals not listed on
the label, because they are present as byproducts of the production
process, breakdown products of listed ingredients, or components of a
“fragrance” that do not have to separately listed.
Because most cosmetic
and personal care
product ingredients
have not been tested
for safety, we mostly
don’t know what we are
putting on our bodies
or our children’s bodies.
Of the ingredients for
which there is some
publicly available health
and safety information,
we found great cause
for concern. Many
common ingredients
are known or suspected
to cause cancer,
reproductive health
problems, learning
and developmental
disabilities, immune
system disorders, and
other health impacts.
The products we analyzed
3. At least 7 of 12 products contain
chemicals already determined to be
hazardous by the State of Maine.10
7 of 12 products contain chemicals
linked to cancer.
7 of 12 products contain chemicals
linked to reproductive or
developmental problems.11
8 of 12 products contain chemicals
subject to prohibitions, restrictions,
or warnings.12
All 12 products contain at least one
chemical linked to allergic reactions
or immune system problems.
Only 1 of the 12 products is
manufactured by a company that
has signed the Compact for Safe
Cosmetics (an agreement to remove
the most hazardous chemicals from their products
and publicly report progress).
Three Hazardous Chemicals Not Listed on Labels
Were Found in Several Products
Formaldehyde was found in all three of the
products tested for it, including in one product
labeled as “Formaldehyde Free”.
1,4-Dioxane was found in one-third of the six
products tested for it.
Two of the twelve products tested still contain toxic
phthalates, and we still don’t know what’s in the
“fragrances” included in the other 10 products.

Both industrial chemicals used in everyday products and pharmaceuticals
(medicinal drugs) often end up in our bodies. The pharmaceuticals do because they
are taken or applied as medicines, and the chemicals because many of them leach
out of the products in which they are used. But U.S. laws treat these two types of
products very differently.

Products that do not contain toxic
phthalates or contaminants like
1,4-Dioxane may still be harmful. Many of
the 12,500 different ingredients used in
cosmetics and personal care products are
known to harm our health, and almost
90% of them have not been tested for

Most people believe that our government
makes sure that chemicals and consumer
products are safe, especially for children.
Here’s what’s really happening.
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), passed in 1976,
should ensure that chemicals used in everyday consumer
products are safe. But TSCA is broken and does not
protect our health. More than 80,000 chemicals are
registered for use in the United States, and an additional
2,000 are introduced for use each year.16
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which oversees
TSCA, has been able to require safety testing for just 200
chemicals in 34 years, and has only been able to restrict
the use of 5 chemicals under the law.
The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) gives the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to ensure
the safety of “cosmetics” (the formal term that includes
not only “beauty” products like lipsticks, hair colors,
nail polishes, and perfumes, but also most personal
care products like lotions, shampoos and conditioners,
toothpastes, and deodorants).17
FDA cannot require pre-
market testing of ingredients or products, cannot force
manufacturers to recall unsafe products, and cannot even
require that product labels be approved for accuracy.18
Only 11 cosmetic and personal care product ingredients
(out of 12,500 used) have ever been banned or restricted
by the FDA.19
In the face of our broken national chemical safety
system, public health organizations, consumers, and
states have stepped forward. Consumer demands
for safe products and public action campaigns have
encouraged some companies to phase out some toxic
ingredients. New laws passed by states are also making
an impact. We still need national reform to ensure that
all chemicals and all products are safe for everyone.
Public action campaigns are changing laws in Maine
and other states, and pushing Congress toward action.
Individuals and families are making a difference by
demanding accountability and action from government
agencies and companies. Find out how you can join
them at www.CleanAndHealthyMe.org.

In addition to 12,500 possible ingredients
(many of which are toxic, and 90% of
which have not been tested for safety),
cosmetic and personal care products often
contain contaminants and chemicals not
listed on the label (such as components
of “fragrances”). We tested twelve
products for three chemicals commonly
found but not listed on the label.
@,+E#)?*"Q?* and
preservatives that release formaldehyde
are used in many personal care products
(especially shampoos and liquid body
soaps) to prevent the growth of
bacteria. Formaldehyde is a probable human
carcinogen, and can cause allergic skin reactions.13
Some companies add formaldehyde-releasing
preservatives to their products, so formaldehyde
itself may not be listed on the label.
RSTU?(,V#L* is a chemical
present in many cosmetic and
personal care products, most
commonly in those that create suds
(like shampoo and liquid soap). It is
a byproduct of ethoxylation – a
production process using ethylene oxide. Because
1,4-Dioxane is considered a contaminant rather than
an ingredient, manufacturers do not have to list it on
product labels. The U.S. EPA considers 1,4-Dioxane a
probable human carcinogen.14
D"!"#)#!*% are a widely
used group of industrial chemicals
often found in cosmetic and
personal care products as carriers
for fragrances and colors.
Phthalates are usually not listed
separately on product labels. Phthalates have been
linked to a wide variety of health effects including
male reproductive damage.15
In response to public
pressure, some companies have removed the most
toxic phthalates from their products. Unfortunately,
we still don’t know what other chemicals may be
hiding inside “fragrances.”
We tested for three common contaminants
and unlisted ingredients. Some products may
contain other chemicals not listed on the label.

Because federal law requires some disclosure of cosmetic and personal care product
ingredients on labels, consumers and retail businesses know more about these products
than about most others. Unfortunately, most of that information isn’t very helpful.
We can’t shop our way out of this problem by just
buying safer products. With 12,500 different ingredients used in
cosmetics and personal care products, thousands of different products
on store shelves (many with tiny, unreadable labels), no safety testing of
most ingredients, and many proven hazardous chemicals used in these
products, we need a better solution.
We must fix our broken chemical safety system to
ensure that all chemicals and all products are safe. Chemicals should
be tested for safety before they are used in any consumer products,
especially those we put on our bodies. Hazardous chemicals should be
phased out whenever safer alternatives are available.
The good news is that simple, common sense steps can move us
toward safe chemicals and products, reduce health care and education
costs, and grow our economy.
!! Support Maine’s Kid-Safe Products Law
In 2008, Maine adopted the groundbreaking Kid-Safe Products
Act, which establishes a system to identify and phase out the most
hazardous chemicals used in everyday products that endanger
children. Hazardous chemicals commonly used in cosmetic and
personal care products (such as phthalates) should be designated as
Priority Chemicals targeted for immediate action.
!! Fix our National Chemical Safety System
Momentum is building to fix the national laws that should protect
us from dangerous chemicals in everyday products. Legislation
to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act should require public
disclosure of safety information on all chemicals in use, take
immediate action to phase out the most dangerous chemicals, and
set safety standards based on real world exposures.
Campaigns to ensure safer chemicals and safer products in Maine and
across the country are underway. YOUR ACTION makes a difference.
