The document summarizes the history of the Berlin Wall from its construction in 1961 until its fall in 1989. It describes how the wall was built in stages to stop mass migration from East to West Germany, before being opened due to peaceful protests in both East and West Berlin in November 1989. Citizens on both sides of the wall then demolished it, celebrating the reunification of Germany and freedom of movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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”.
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.

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.

Berlin Tale
1. A Berlin Tale: “20 YEARS AFTER THE WALL CAME DOWN”. By Ivonne Corichi.
2. A Berlin Tale. Berliners celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall which for decades divided communism from democracy, east from west and families from each other.
3. A Berlin Tale. The Berlin wall was built in 1961 by the German Democratic Republic. It was the solution to a massive migration to West Germany after World War II. The GDR lost over 20% of it’s citizens, whom left Eastern Germany to find a better life.
4. A Berlin Tale. The Wall was built by a recommendation of the Soviet Union. It had four versions: *Wired fence (1961). *Improved wired fence (1962-1965). *Concrete wall (1965-1975). *Border wall 75 (1975-1989). The wired fence was weaker than the concrete wall. The concrete wall was less dangerous than the wired fence, because it stopped the killings of people who wanted to cross to West Germany.
5. A Berlin Tale. From 1961 to 1989 the visits to East Germany were limited to some citizens whom individually requested a tourist visa. West Germans were allowed to enter only after 1971, and visits before then were only during Christmas of the first years. The gray German concrete wall separated a lot of things, not only people.
6. A Berlin Tale. East Germans were not allowed to travel outside GDR’s borders. Only some exceptions were made to old age pensioners, professionals and important family matters. East Berliners were punished, which made a statement to eastern bloc countries.
7. A Berlin Tale. During a speech at the Brandemburg Gate commemorating the 750th. anniversary of Berlin on 1987, US President Ronald Reagan challenged Mikhail Gorvachev to tear down the wall as a symbol of increasing freedom in the eastern bloc. The western bloc are countries where freedom and democracy rule over dictators and censorship.
8. A Berlin Tale. Some East European countries removed it’s physical borders in 1989,which lead to another massive Eastern German migration. This might have been the spark, which detonated several pacific demonstrations in both Berlins.
9. A Berlin Tale. On November 9th. GDR’s new leader Egon Krenz, allowed refugees exit directly through crossing points, and proposed free travel as well. The GDR’s spokesman announced this at a press conference which was televised incomplete in West Germany and it’s moderator might have misunderstood the context and announced a “Historic Day… East Germany opened it’s borders to everyone”.
10. A Berlin Tale. East and West Germans, soon gathered at the wall. The guards were outnumbered and opened the gates of checkpoints and allowed free crossings. People started chipping the wall with hammers and demolished lengthy parts of the wall. They might sell the concrete chips as souvenirs.
11. A Berlin Tale. Between November 9th. and December 23, West Germans were allowed into East Germany under restrictive visits. This might have been a peaceful period while migration officers decided a visa-free travel and the start of the German reunification concluded in the first week of October 1990.
12. A Berlin Tale. This week Germans celebrate the 20th. Anniversary of the fall of Berlin’s Wall with the “Festival of Freedom”. During this festival, thousands of foam domino tiles will be stacked along the wall’s perimeter.
13. A Berlin Tale. Today, there are world citizens that might not know about this, and live in oppression. Is there a possibility they’ll know? I invite you to tear down the walls and the boundaries authorities put around us. Like East and West Germans, let’s speak out loud and manifest peacefully our thoughts.
