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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

How a Bill Becomes a Law
Bill is introduced in the House of Representatives and assigned to a
Committee, which refers to a Subcommittee.
Members of a Subcommittee studythe bill,hold hearings,and debate
provisions. Edit and markup the bill. If it passes it goes to Committee.
Full Committee considers the bill. If it approves the bill in some form, the
bill goes to the Rules Committee.
The Rules Committee looks at bill and issues rules for the debate of the bill
on the floor. Sends the bill to the Full House of Representatives.
The House debates the bill and may amend it. Once a simple majority vote
has been reached on the House floorthe bill goes to the Senate.
The Bill is introduced to the Senate and assigned to a Committee which
refers to a Subcommittee.
Members of a Subcommittee studythe bill,hold hearings,and debate

Full Committee of the Senate considers the bill. If it approves the bill in
some form, the bill will go to the Senate floor.
The Full Senate debates the bill and may amend it. Filibusters are possible
here. If it is different from the House version,the bill must go to a
Conference Committee.
Senators and Representatives meet to reconcile differences between bills in
a Conference Committee. When agreement is reached, a compromise bill is
sent back to the Full Senate.
The Full Senate Votes on the bill,if it passes it goes to the President.
The President can sign or veto the bill.
2. Congress can override a veto by 2/3 majorityvote in the House and Senate.
Mini-Lesson: How a Bill becomes a Law
1. Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4.
2. Hand out the paper above, cut into strips, to the groups. (I will have my T.A.’s prepare
these for you)
3. Give the groups about 3 minutes to try and put the strips in order on a desk in the
center of their group. Assess how close they came and recognize any groups that
completed the task correctly, but do not share the answers with the class yet.
4. Play the “Schoolhouse Rock, I’m Just a Bill”, then give the students 1 minute to make
corrections to the order of their paper if needed. (I have the video ready on a
PowerPoint, you will just need to click.)
5. As a class have the groups share their work until everyone has the strips in the right
order. Once this is accomplished have the groups answer the following questions about
the law making process based on this activity: (Assessment)
a. Where does most of the work in the law making process take place? Provide
two examples.
b. Where can a filibuster occur?
c. How does this process show a balance of power between the President and
Congress?
*You can choose how you want to collect this assessment. You can have them write the
answers down and turn them in, they can share and correct together as a class, etc… I am
going to give them a participation score of 15 possible based on your evaluation of the
activity.*
