Buck, a huge, four-year-old half-Saint Bernard and half-Scottish shepherd dog, is living a life of civilized ease in California's Santa Clara Valley in the home of Judge Miller. It seems to be the best of all possible worlds, for Buck is the most prized animal that the Judge owns. Around this time, however, gold is discovered in the great North, and large dogs suddenly become tremendously valuable because these types of dogs are needed to haul the heavy sleds through the deep snow fields.

Cinderella; or, The Little Glass Slipper
Charles Perrault
Once there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former
husband, two daughters of her own, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of
unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world.
No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over but the stepmother began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities
of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her own daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in the meanest work of the house. She
scoured the dishes, tables, etc., and cleaned madam's chamber, and those of misses, her daughters. She slept in a sorry garret, on a wretched straw bed,
while her sisters slept in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid, on beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking glasses so large that they
could see themselves at their full length from head to foot.
The poor girl bore it all patiently, and dared not tell her father, who would have scolded her; for his wife governed him entirely. When she had done
her work, she used to go to the chimney corner, and sit down there in the cinders and ashes, which caused her to be called Cinderwench. Only the
younger sister, who was not so rude and uncivil as the older one, called her Cinderella. However, Cinderella, notwithstanding her coarse apparel, was
a hundred times more beautiful than her sisters, although they were always dressed very richly.
It happened that the king's son gave a ball, and invited all persons of fashion to it. Our young misses were also invited, for they cut a very grand figure
among those of quality. They were mightily delighted at this invitation, and wonderfully busy in selecting the gowns, petticoats, and hair dressing that
would best become them. This was a new difficulty for Cinderella; for it was she who ironed her sister's linen and pleated their ruffles. They talked all
day long of nothing but how they should be dressed.
"For my part," said the eldest, "I will wear my red velvet suit with French trimming."
"And I," said the youngest, "shall have my usual petticoat; but then, to make amends for that, I will put on my gold-flowered cloak, and my diamond
stomacher, which is far from being the most ordinary one in the world."
They sent for the best hairdresser they could get to make up their headpieces and adjust their hairdos, and they had their red brushes and patches from
Mademoiselle de la Poche.
They also consulted Cinderella in all these matters, for she had excellent ideas, and her advice was always good. Indeed, she even offered her services
to fix their hair, which they very willingly accepted. As she w.

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.

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.
3. CINDERELLA:
OR,
THE LITTLE GLASS SLIPPER.
THERE was, many years ago, a gentleman who had a
charming lady for his wife. They had one daughter only,
who was very dutiful to her parents. But while she was
still
very young, her mamma died, to the grief of her
husband and daughter. After a time, the little girl's
papa married another lady. Now this lady was proud
and haughty, and had two grown-up daughters as disa-
greeable as herself; so the poor girl found everything at
home changed for the worse.
But she bore all her troubles with patience, not even
complaining to her father, and, in spite of her hard toil,
she grew more lovely in face and figure every year.
Now the King's son gave a grand ball, and all persons
of quality were invited to it. Our two young ladies were
not overlooked. Nothing was now talked of but the rich
dresses 'they were to wear.
At last the happy day arrived. The two proud sisters
set off in high spirits. Cinderella followed them with her
eyes until the coach was out f sight. She then began
to cry bitterly. While she was sobbing, her godmother,
who was a Fairy, appeared before her.

Cinderella," said the Fairy,
" I am your godmother,
and for the sake of your dear mamma I an come to cheer
you up, so dry your tears ; you shall go to the grand ball
to-night, but you must do just as I bid you. Go into
the garden and bring me a pumpkin." Cinderella brought
the finest that was there. Her godmother scooped it out
very quickly, and then struck it with her wand, upon
which it was changed into a beautiful coach. Afterwards,
the old lady peeped into the mouse-trap, where she found
six mice. She tapped them lightly with her wand, and
each mouse became a fine horse. The rat-trap contained
two large rats ; one of these she turned into a coachman,
and the other into a postilion. Theft
old lady then told
Cinderella to go into the garden and seek for half-a-dozen
lizards. These she changed into six footmen, dressed in
the gayest livery.
When all these things had been done, the kind god-
mother touching her with her wand, changed her worn-out
clothes into a beautiful ball- dress embroidered with pearls
and silver. She then gave her a pair of glass slippers,
that is, they were woven of the most delicate spun-glass,
fine as the web of a spider.
When Cinderella was thus attired, her godmother made
her get into her splendid coach, giving her a caution to
leave the ball before the clock struck twelve.
On her arrival, her beauty struck everybody with won-
der. The gallant Prince gave her a courteous welcome,
and led her into the ball-room; and the King and Queen
were as much enchanted with her, as the Prince conducted

jher_ ta the supper-table, and was too much occupied in
waiting upon her to partake of anything himself. While
seated, Cinderella heard the clock strike three-quarters
past eleven. She rose to leave, the Prince pressing her
to accept an invitation for the ball on the following evening.
On reaching home, her godmother praised her for being
so punctual, and agreed to let her go to the next night's
ball.
Although she seemed to be tired, her sisters, instead of
showing pity, teased her witli glowing accounts of the
splendid scene they had just left, and spoke particularly
of the beautiful Princess. Cinderella was delighted to
hear all this, and asked them the name of the Princess,
but they replied, nobody knew her. So much did they
say in praise of the lady, that Cinderella expressed a
desire to go to the next ball to see the Princess ; but
this only served to bring out their dislike of poor Cinderella
still more, and they would not lend her the meanest of
their dresses.
The next evening the two sisters went to the ball, and
Cinderella also, who was still more splendidly dressed
than before. Her enjoyment was even greater than at
the first ball, and she was so occupied with the Prince's
tender sayings that she was not so quick in marking the
progress of time.
To her alarm she heard the clock strike twelve. She
fled from the ball-room ; but in a moment the coach changed
again to a pumpkin, the horses to mice, the coachman and
postilion to rats, the footmen to lizards, and Cinderella's

beautiful dress to her old shabby clothes. In her haste she
dropped one of her glass slippers, and reached home, out of
breath, with none of her godmother's fairy gifts but one
glass slipper.
When her sisters arrived after the ball, they spoke in
terms of rapture of the unknown Princess, and told Cin-
derella about the little glass slipper she had dropped, and
how the Prince picked it
up. It was evident to all the
Court that the Prince was determined if possible, to find
out the owner of the slipper; and a few days afterwards
a royal herald proclaimed that the King's son would
marry her whose foot the glass slipper should be found
exactly to fit.
This proclamation caused a great sensation. Ladies of
all ranks were permitted to make a trial of the slipper ;
but it was of no use. Cinderella now said,
" Let me try
perhaps it
may fit me." It slipped on in a moment.
Great was the vexation of the two sisters at this ;
but
what was their astonishment when Cinderella took the
fellow slipper out of her pocket !
At that moment the godmother appeared, and touched
Cinderella's clothes with her wand. Her sisters then saw
that she was the beautiful lady they had met at the ball,
and, throwing themselves at her feet, craved her forgive-
ness.
A short time after, she was married to the Prince, to
the intense gratification of the whole Court.
