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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

2. Quote
• "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass
letter, U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a
musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, there is
no power on earth that can deny that he has earned the
right to citizenship.“ - Frederick Douglass
3. A White Man's War
• Black soldiers had fought in the Revolutionary War and
unofficially served in the War of 1812,
• State militias had excluded African Americans since
1792.
• The U.S. Army had never accepted black soldiers, but
The U.S. Navy let African-Americans serve as shipboard
firemen, stewards, coal heavers and even boat pilots
since 1861
4. The Second Confiscation and
Militia Act of 1862
• After two grueling years of war, President
Lincoln began to reconsider his position on black
soldiers.
• The Union Army badly needed soldiers. White
volunteers were dwindling in number, and
African-Americans were more eager to fight than
ever.
• The Second Confiscation and Militia Act of July
17, 1862, was the first step toward the
enlistment of African Americans in the Union
Army.
5. The 54th Massachusetts
• February 1863, the abolitionist Governor
John A. Andrew of Massachusetts issued
the Civil War’s first official call for black
soldiers. More than 1,000 men responded.
• They formed the 54th Massachusetts
Infantry Regiment, the first black regiment
to be raised in the North
• Many of the 54th soldiers did not even
come from Massachusetts
• One-quarter came from slave states, and
6. Confederate Threats
• The Union army was reluctant to use African-American troops in
combat. This was partly due to racism.
• There were many Union officers who believed that black soldiers
were not as skilled or as brave as white soldiers were.
• With this logic, they thought that African Americans were better
suited for jobs as carpenters, cooks, guards, scouts and teamsters.
• Black soldiers and their officers were also in grave danger if they
were captured in battle.
• Confederate President Jefferson Davis called the Emancipation
Proclamation “the most execrable measure in the history of guilty
man” and promised that black prisoners of war would be enslaved
or executed on the spot.
7. The Fight for Equal Pay
• The U.S. Army paid black soldiers $10 a week (minus a clothing
allowance, in some cases), while white soldiers got $3 more (plus a
clothing allowance, in some cases). Congress passed a bill
authorizing equal pay for black and white soldiers in 1864.
• By the time the war ended in 1865, about 180,000 black men had
served as soldiers in the U.S. Army. This was about 10 percent of
the total Union fighting force.
• Most—about 90,000—were former (or “contraband”) slaves from the
Confederate states.
• half of the rest were from the loyal border states, and the rest were
free blacks from the North. Forty thousand black soldiers died in the
war: 10,000 in battle and 30,000 from illness or infection.
