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”.
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.

Generous Gifts
A generous man set aside a certain sum of money for equal distribution
weekly to the needy of his acquaintance. One day he remarked, "If there
are five fewer applicants next week, you will each receive two dollars
more.“ Unfortunately, instead of there being fewer there were actually
four more persons applying for the gift.
"This means," he pointed out,
"that you will each receive one dollar less."
How much did each person receive at that last distribution?

Generous Gifts
A generous man set aside a certain sum of money for equal distribution
weekly to the needy of his acquaintance. One day he remarked, "If there
are five fewer applicants next week, you will each receive two dollars
more.“ Unfortunately, instead of there being fewer there were actually
four more persons applying for the gift.
"This means," he pointed out,
"that you will each receive one dollar less."
How much did each person receive at that last distribution?
At first there were twenty persons,
and each received $6.00. Then fifteen
persons (five fewer) would have received $8.00
each.
But twenty-four (four more) appeared
and only received $5.00 each.
The amount distributed weekly was thus $120
