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.

Dear Barnie,
Hi, mate. How is everything? And how was your holiday?
Last holiday, mom, dad and I visited Thailand. It was one of the most
exciting countries in the world. We stayed in a big and clean hotel in
Phuket island. We visited many interesting places there Everyday we
got up very early to trovel to some places.
Just like today, we got up early again because we wanted to
go to Phi Phi Le island to take some pictures of the beach which was
used by The Beach’s producer and crews to make film. We went there
with Sarah Clark (Film Publicist) and Ross Palmer by a speed boat,
it took about forty-five minutes to get there. When we got there, we
walked on the beach and took some photos. It was really nice and
beautiful. Then we walked to that place they made the film. We went
by bare foot because it was easier but it was really hot on our feet
When we got there, we walked around and took some pictures. Then
we went back to Phuket and the hotel.
In the afternoon, we went to Hat Surin to watch them making
the film. We saw Leonardo De Caprio. My Dad had a problem with
Leonardo’s body guard because he tried to take a picture of Leonardo
and the director. Fortunately I could take some pictures of Leonardo

Gardenia plants are popular for the strong sweet
scent of their flowers. Gardenia is the national flower
in Pakistan. In Japan and China, the flower is called
Kuchinashi (Japanese) and Zhi zi (Chinese).
Gardenia plants are evergreen shrubs. Their small
trees can grow to 1 - 5 meters tall. The leaves are 5 -
50 centimeters long and 3-25 centimeters broad, dark
green and glossy with a leathery texture. The flowers are
in small groups, white, or pale yellow, with 5-12 lobes
(petals) from 5-12 centimeters diameter. They usually
bloom in mid-spring to mid-summer. Many species have
strong aroma.
To cultivate gardenia as a house plant is not easy.
This species can be difficult to grow because it originated
in warm humid tropical areas. It demands high humidity
and bright (not direct) light to thrive. It flourishes in
acidic soil with good drainage and thrives on 20°- 23°
C during the day and 15° - 16° C in the evening. Potting
soils developed specifically for gardenias are available.
It grows no larger than 18 inches in height and width
