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.

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.

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.

A ROSE FOR EMILY
CHARACTERS:
Emily Grierson- The object of fascination in the story. A mysterious figure who changes from a
vibrant and hopeful young girl to a very secretive old woman. Devastated and
alone after her father’s death, an object of pity of the townspeople. She ultimately
poisons her potential suitor Homer and sealed his corpse into an upstairs room.
Homer Barron- A foreman from the North. Large man with a dark complexion, a booming voice,
and light-colored eyes. A gruff and demanding boss, he also wins many admires in
Jefferson because of his gregarious nature and good sense of humor. She
develops interest in Emily and soon townspeople view him as a poor, if not
scandalous, choice for a mate. He disappears in Emily’s house and decomposes
in an attic bedroom after Emily kills him.
Judge Steven- Mayor of Jefferson. He attempts to delicately handle the complaints about the
smell emanating from the Grierson property. To be respectful of Emily’s pride and
former position in the community, he and the alderman decide to sprinkle lime on
the property in the middle of the night.
Mr. Grierson- Emily’s father. Controlling father, he wanted the best for his daughter especially
the best husband for her.
Tobe- Emily’s servant. He dutifully cares for her and tends to her needs. After Emily’s
death, he walks out of the back door and never returns.
Colonel Santoris- Former mayor of Jefferson. Colonel Santoris absolves Emily for any tax burden
after the death of her father. His elaborate and benevolent gesture is not heeded
by the succeeding generation of town leaders.
2. SUMMARY:
The story begins at the huge funeral of Miss Emily Grierson. Most of the people of Jefferson went
to her house for her funeral. Nobody has been to her house in ten years, except for her servant, Tobe. Her
house was old, but once the best house in town. She is a motherless child, so when her father died she
denied his death for three days until she break down and gives up the body for burial. The town had a
special relationship with Miss Emily ever since it decided to stop billing her for taxes in 1894. While her
father was alive they had much money. Her family had so much wealth that when the town needed financial
help Emily’s father came through to loan the mayor colonel Santoris money. However, after the mayor died
the “new generation” wasn’t happy with this arrangement because they did not have the verbal paper
agreement and thus, they required her to pay taxes but she flatly refused to pay.
Thirty years before, the tax townspeople collector had a strange encounter with Miss Emily about a
bad smell at her house, about two years ago after her father died and a short time after her lover Homer
Barron disappeared. Lots of people complained about the bad smell but the authorities didn’t confront Miss
Emily about the problem. So, they sprinkled lime around her house and soon the smell eventually gone.
Not too long after her father died Emily begins to go out with Homer Barron the construction
foreman at their town. Most people saw them riding in his yellow-wheeled buggy every Sunday afternoon.
The town heavily disapproves the affair and brings Emily’s cousins to town to stop the relationship. One
day, Emily is seen buying arsenic at the drugstore, and the town thinks that Homer broke her heart and that
she is planning to kill herself.
When she bought bunch of men’s items, the townspeople think that they are going to get married.
Homer leaves town, her cousin’s leaves town, and then Homer come back. He is the last person seen to
enter the front door of Miss Emily’s house. After that, people rarely seen Ms. Emily leaves her house,
except for a period of half years when she gave a painting lesson.
At the age of seventy-four Emily died from illness in one of her downstairs bedroom that hasn’t
seen light in many years. Her hair turns gray and she gains weight. Tobe, her servant, lets in the town
women and then leaves by the backdoor forever. After the funeral, and after Emily is buried, the
townspeople go upstairs to break into the room that they know has been closed for forty years and that they
discovered Miss Emily’s disturbing long kept secret.
Inside, they find the corpse of Homer Barron, stretched out on the bed with a suit and wedding
tokens spread about. As the townspeople entered and moved closer to the bed one discovered a long
strand of gray hair upon the pillow next to him.
3. MORAL LESSONS:
Conflict between Emily and his father:
Parents should treat their sons/daughters the best. Do not be over protective because sometimes if
you think that what you are doing is the right for them but rather children it may lead them to be a bad
person.
Emily and Homer Barron:
In the story, for me Emily loved Homer from the bottom of her heart. Because of her father did to
her teenage life, she thinks that Homer is the right guy for her that’s why when the townspeople said that
Homer is poor and scandalous and that they can’t be together, she decided to poison him so that he will
never leave him.
Conflict between Emily and the Townspeople:
The actions of the town drove her to do what she did and how they criticized her for not being
social. People always criticized the actions of other people, she decided to stay at her house not because
she wanted to be alone for her entire life, and for me she is just too tired for all the criticisms that she has
suffering from the townspeople.
