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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

Writing reports
A report is a statement of the results of an investigation or
of any matter on which definite information is required.
(Oxford English Dictionary)
Reports are a highly structured form of writing often
following conventions that have been laid down to
produce a common format. Structure and convention
in written reports stress the process by which the
information was gathered as much as the informa-
tion itself.
During your time at university you may be asked to
write different types of reports, depending upon the
subject area which you have chosen. These could
include laboratory reports, technical reports, reports
of a work placement or industrial visit, reports of a
field trip or field work.
Reports vary in their purpose, but all of them will
require a formal structure and careful planning,
presenting the material in a logical manner using
clear and concise language.
The following section explores each stage in the
development of your report, making recommenda-
tions for structure and technique.
The following stages are involved in writing a report:
• clarifying your terms of reference
• planning your work
• collecting your information
• organising and structuring your
information
• writing the first draft
• checking and re-drafting.
Different types
of reports
Stages in report
writing
3. Writing Reports 3
The terms of reference of a report are a guiding state-
ment used to define the scope of your investigation.
You must be clear from the start what you are being
asked to do. You will probably have been given an
assignment from your tutor but you may need to
discuss this further to find out the precise subject and
purpose of the report. Why have you been asked to
write it ?
Knowing your purpose will help you to communi-
cate your information more clearly and will help you
to be more selective when collecting your informa-
tion.
Careful planning will help you to write a clear,
concise and effective report, giving adequate time to
each of the developmental stages prior to submis-
sion.
• Consider the report as a whole
• Break down the task of writing the report
into various parts.
• How much time do you have to write the
report?
• How can this be divided up into the
various planning stages?
• Set yourself deadlines for the various
stages.
Draw up an outline structure for your report and
set the work within a sensible time scale for com-
pletion by the given deadline.
Some of the most time-consuming parts of the
process are collecting and selecting your informa-
tion, and checking and revising your report.

report
4. Writing Reports 4
There are a number of questions you need to ask
yourself at this stage :-
• What is the information you need ?
• Where do you find it ?
• How much do you need ?
• How shall you collect it ?
• In what order will you arrange it ?
You may have much of the information you need
already such as results from a laboratory experiment
or descriptions of your methods of data collection.
However, there may be other material which is
needed such as background information on other
research studies, or literature surveys. You may need
to carry out some interviews or make a visit to the
university library to collect all the information you
need.
• Make a list of what information you need.
• Make an action plan stating how you are
going to gather this.
The Information Technology Skills Guide contains
much useful advice on the use of electronic informa-
tion sources. This guide is available from the Univer-
sity's Flexible Learning Initiative.
One helpful way of organising your information into
topics is to brainstorm your ideas into a ‘spider
diagram.’
• Write the main theme in the centre of a
piece of paper.
• Write down all the ideas and keywords
related to your topic starting from the
centre and branching out along lines of
connecting ideas.
Collecting
information
Organising
information
5. Writing Reports 5
• Each idea can be circled or linked by lines
as appropriate.
• When you have finished, highlight any
related ideas and then sort topics.
• Some ideas will form main headings, and
others will be sub-sections under these
headings.
• You should then be able to see a pattern
emerging and be able to arrange your
main headings in a logical order (see
diagram below).
Further advice concerning the organising of material
can be found in another section of this Study Guide,
Taking notes.
We discussed earlier that there are different types of
report such as laboratory reports or reports on an
industrial placement. Always check with the person
commissioning the report (your tutor, your place-
ment supervisor) to find out precisely what your
report should include and how it should be pre-
sented. The following common elements can be
found in many different reports:

• Title page
• Acknowledgements
• Contents
• Abstract or summary
• Introduction
• Methodology
• Results or findings
• Discussion
• Conclusion and recommendations
• References
• Appendices
We shall now look at each of these in turn.
Title page
This should include the title of the report (which
should give a precise indication of the subject mat-
ter), the author’s name, module, course and the date.
Acknowledgements
You should acknowledge any help you have received
in collecting the information for the report. This may
be from librarians, technicians or computer centre
staff, for example.
Contents
You should list all the main sections of the report in
sequence with the page numbers they begin on. If
there are charts, diagrams or tables included in your
report, these should be listed separately under a title
such as ‘List of Illustrations’ together with the page
numbers on which they appear.
Abstract or summary
This should be a short paragraph summarising the
main contents of the report. It should include a short
statement of the main task, the methods used, con-
clusions reached and any recommendations to be
made. The abstract or summary should be concise,
informative and independent of the report.
Write this section after you have written the report.
7. Writing Reports 7
Introduction
This should give the context and scope of the report
and should include your terms of reference. State
your objectives clearly, define the limits of the report,
outline the method of enquiry, give a brief general
background to the subject of the report and indicate
the proposed development.
Methodology
In this section you should state how you carried out
your enquiry. What form did your enquiry take ? Did
you carry out interviews or questionnaires, how did
you collect your data ? What measurements did you
make ? How did you choose the subjects for your
interviews ? Present this information logically and
concisely.
Results or findings
Present your findings in as simple a way as possible.
The more complicated the information looks, the
more difficult it will be to interpret. There are a
number of ways in which results can be presented.
Here are a few :
• Tables
• Graphs
• Pie charts
• Bar charts
• Diagrams
Illustration checklist
• Are all your diagrams / illustrations
clearly labelled?
• Do they all have titles?
• Is the link between the text and the
diagram clear?
• Are the headings precise?
• Are the axes of graphs clearly labelled?
• Can tables be easily interpreted?
• Have you abided by any copyright laws
when including illustrations/tables from
published documents?
8. Writing Reports 8
Discussion
This is the section where you can analyse and inter-
pret your results drawing from the information
which you have collected, explaining its significance.
Identify important issues and suggest explanations
for your findings. Outline any problems encountered
and try and present a balanced view.
Conclusions and recommendations
This is the section of the report which draws together
the main issues. It should be expressed clearly and
should not present any new information. You may
wish to list your recommendations in separate
section or include them with the conclusions.
References
It is important that you give precise details of all the
work by other authors which has been referred to
within the report. Details should include :
• author’s name and initials
• date of publication
• title of the book, paper or journal
• publisher
• place of publication
• page numbers
• details of the journal volume in which the
article has appeared.
References should be listed in alphabetical order of
the authors' names.
Make sure that your references are accurate and
comprehensive.
Appendices
An appendix contains additional information related
to the report but which is not essential to the main
findings. This can be consulted if the reader wishes
but the report should not depend on this. You could
include details of interview questions, statistical
data, a glossary of terms, or other information which
may be useful for the reader.
9. Writing Reports 9
Style of writing
There are several points that you will need to con-
sider when you are writing your report:
Active or passive?
Your tutor will be able to advise whether the report
should be written in the ‘active’ or ‘passive’ voice.
The active voice reads as follows:
‘I recommend ...’
The passive voice reads:
‘It is recommended that ...’
The active voice allows you to write short, punchy
sentences.
The passive appears more formal and considered.
Be aware of these differences and avoid mixing the
two voices.
Simplicity
Most written reports should avoid using overly
complicated language. If a report is to persuade, brief
or justify, it's message must be clear. Furthermore,
the factual presentation of data should not be
swamped with sophisticated, lengthy sentences.
Avoid using unnecessary jargon. This confuses even
the most informed reader.
Ensure that your abbreviations are standardised. All
too often authors invent their own jargon to ease the
pressure on writing things in full. Be cautious of
confusing your reader.
Use of language
Most reports should avoid the use of subjective
language. For example, to report on a change in
colouration from a "stunning green to a beautiful
blue" is to project your own values onto a measur-
able outcome. What does the term "beautiful" mean
to you? What will it mean to your reader? Such
subjective, or personal language commonly has no
place in the more objective field of report writing.
10. Writing Reports 10
Layout
Most reports have a progressive numbering system.
The most common system is the decimal notation
system.
The main sections are given single arabic numbers -
1, 2, 3 and so on.
Sub-sections are given a decimal number - 1.1, 1.2,
1.3 and so on.
Sub-sections can be further divided into - 1.11, 1.12,
1.13 and so on.
An example structure would look as follows;
1. Introduction
1.1 ———————-
1.11 ———————-
1.2 ———————-
1.21 ———————-
2. Methodology
2.1 ———————-
2.11 ———————-
2.12 ———————-
The following suggestions will help you to produce
an easily read report:
• Leave wide margins for binding and
feedback comments from your tutor.
• Paragraphs should be short and concise.
• Headings should be clear - highlighted in
bold or underlined.
• All diagrams and illustrations should be
labelled and numbered.
• All standard units, measurements and
technical terminology should be listed in
a glossary of terms at the back of your
report.
Presentation
11. Writing Reports 11
Once you have written the first draft of your report
you will need to check it through. It is probably
sensible to leave it on your desk for a day or so if you
have the time. This will make a clear break from the
intensive writing period, allowing you to view your
work more objectively.
Assess your work in the following areas:
• Structure
• Content
• Style
Look at the clarity and precision of your work.
Use the report writing checklist at the end of this
section to check your report.
You may like to carry out a more formal evaluation.
Use the section Assessing yourself to help you draft
assessment criteria and evaluate your work.
The skills involved in writing a report will help you
to condense and focus information, drawing objec-
tive findings from detailed data.
The ability to express yourself clearly and succinctly
is an important skill and is one that can be greatly
enhanced by approaching each report in a planned
and focused way.
