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.
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

1.
2. PRE-PRODUCTION.
PRELIMINARY EXERCISE: this exercise was to assist us in
gaining the required skills as young producers of a film in order
to be able to integrate a variety of shots, camera angles and to
use continuity editing perfectly . Again, how to set up a camera
properly to avoid the camera from falling off the tripod was
another important part of the preliminary exercise .
We also needed to learn about pre-production skills as well as
post –productions for example , making a storyboard based on
our ideas , writing of a script by using the right formatting tools
and basic editing techniques.
3. EVALUATION OF THE
PRELIMINARY EXERCISE
Our preliminary exercise made up aware of a whole lot of issues
when it comes to using the camera.
We had problems with the lighting of the camera even though we
wanted a low key lighting to an extend but after our post-production
we realised that the lighting was very bad and it was difficult to
even see the characters . However, we didn’t have any issues with
the continuity editing and we obeyed the 180 degree rule which was
very impressive . The sound was also good and we were able to use
a variety of shots such as long shots ,over the shoulder shots , mid
shots close-ups.
We employed shot reverse shot , match on action and point of
views in our editing techniques.

H A D W I T H O U R P R E L I M I N A R Y E X E R C I S E .
5. PRODUCTION/CONSTRU
CTION
Due to the problems we faced in our preliminary exercise ,we
learnt to be considerate when it comes to making decisions
concerning our main media product.
We decided to choose a location that matches our storyline,
also this location had to be convienient for all the group
members.
We also agreed on a simple costume (school uniform)to
establish how a character is being represented. No special
props were used in this unlike our preliminary.
6. EDITING
Continuity Editing is the maintenance a logical flow of a sequence . We learnt
about how to make our film to flow seamlessly so that the audience does not notice
constructions from many different angles ad shots.
We used a editing techniques such as shot-reverse shots, reaction shots, match
on action, prevalence,.
I have also learnt that Editing is primarily related to narrative and this helps
influence the audience’s reading of a character and to the extent of empathizing
with the character.
7. CAMERAWORK
We learnt about a variety of shots such as establishing shots,
long/extreme long shots , high /low angle, pan, Point-of-view shots and
close ups.
I learnt that these shots keeps an audience intrigued and they are
able to interpret or symphathize with the character. E.g a hand held shot
gives a shaky feeling which makes the scene realistic or makes audience
feel like a part of the action and or excitement going on in the film.
We decided on these shots because we wanted our audience to be
able to relate to it.
9. 180 DEGREE RULE
I learnt that this rule is often called ‘‘The Line’’ or the ‘’The
line of action’’. An imaginary line that can be drawn between
two characters, and the camera must stay on one side of the
line.
180° rule is essential element of film when it comes to
continuity editing.
10. RULE OF THIRDS.
I also learnt about the compositional rule of thumb in
visual arts such as photography and painting , however this
is also used in film.
This rule states that an image should be imagined as
divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal
lines and vertical lines.
This helps creates more tension, energy and interest in
the composition than simply centering the subject would.
11. POST-PRODUCTON
After filming our two – minute opening title sequence we had to do
our editing which we didn’t have much problems with the editing due to
the fact that we did master the editing during our preliminary exercise.
By contrast we had issues with the sound that we had to use. Firstly
we had difficulties deciding on the limited horror soundtracks available in
the editing suite and when we finally found one, it was shorter than the
our opening title sequence .
I learnt to make a soundtrack longer by copying the song and pasting
it in order to gain the length needed but it interfered with our sequence
and we had to re-edit but in the end everything was okay.
12. POST-PRODUCTION
EVALUATION
From the preliminary exercise through to our final product I
have learnt how to shoot films ,how to set up of cameras
properly, how to use a variety of shots,
I also learnt about the importance the rule of thirds in
continuity editing, and how to edit , add sound effects and
transitions to a film.
The difference between our preliminary exercise and final is
that we were given a storyline for the preliminary but we had to
come up with our own in the final piece.
13. POST-PRODUCTION
EVALUATION
Also we were not able to add a soundtrack to our preliminary
exercise due to the limited time we were given.
The only consistent problem that we faced during the entire
coursework was mainly about agreeing on what time to shoot
since we all had different schedules and it was difficult to agree
on a particular time.
Also during our post production we ran over the time given
and we had to cut some of the shots out .Decisions about what
to omit also became a problem since we found all the shots
useful and important
14. Generally speaking I have learnt almost everything that I
know about filming in media studies through our practical
aspects of the coursework .
I qm now aware of the issues around filming and the need
to film a scene longer than necessary so that during editing
you will be able cut out of shots and still have enough shot in
a scene.
