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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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”.

ASSURE Method
A: Analyze Learners
These students are Russian children that have just moved to the United States. They speak
English, but are unfamiliar with the culture. Their ages range from ten to nineteen. There are
fifteen in total: eight males and seven females. They are also all mildly to severely visually
impaired.
S: State Objectives
The Russian students will be the learners and the objects. They will develop a greater
understanding of the holiday traditions of the Fourth of July, which is a strictly American
holiday, and be able to describe the activities of what a normal Fourth of July consists of. The
students will carry out and be included inactivities that allow them experience how we have the
Fourth of July, and allow them to experience them with senses other than sight. They could listen
typical American songs that represent patriotism, like “The Star Spangled Banner,” or “God
Bless America.”Then they could discuss the meanings behind them and what they mean to
Americans. They will be presented with thetypes of foods that would be eaten at a cookout- hot
dogs, hamburgers, chips, ice cream. They could also be present for some (small) fireworks, since
fireworks are not only visually stunning, but they are also incredibly loud, so that would be an
activity that is usually considered visual turned into something they could experience as
2. well.Another way for the students to experience the ideas of the Fourth of July could be a
podcast. First, they could listen to a few podcasts- one of the history of Independence Day, one
on the activities we do. Then, after they have completed all their “experiences” we can make a
class podcast, with each student telling what their favorite part of the Fourth of July was. After
the entire experience is over, the students should have an understanding of the holiday (95%) and
if there is any confusion, they can ask questions to get everyone on the same page.
S: Select the 3 M’s (Method, Media, Materials)
The methods used will be hands on activities.An example of this would be the food tasting. The
materials needed for this lesson would be, food, plates, utensils, etc. The songs could be played
from the internet or an iPod.Maybe for the “fireworks,” small, safe firecrackers or sparklers
could be used. And finally, for the podcast, we would use the internet and our computers.
U: Utilize Media and Materials
The students will be receiving the benefit of the media and materials. It isn’t anything too
involved so it should be easy to teach while keeping discussion open. I would prepare the
materials and ideas, then teach it. The students listen, participate, and learn. The media and
materials (internet and food) will give a better experience than just talking at the students.
R: Require Learner Participation
The students can get into small groups 3 and discuss the things they like about the Fourth of July
and things they find interesting, and how it is different from holidays in Russia, as well as
preparing what they want to say in the podcast.
E: Evaluate and Revise
3. Evaluation can be the group work, as well as participation in class and the podcast.
