The Cold War began in 1945 after World War 2 as tensions grew between the Western allies (US, Britain, France) and the Soviet Union. Key events that exacerbated these tensions included disagreements over post-war settlements in Europe at Yalta and Potsdam, the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe, and the development of nuclear weapons by both sides. The US responded with policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan to contain the spread of Soviet communism and rebuild Western Europe. The Berlin Blockade and Korean War further escalated tensions between the US and USSR in their ongoing struggle for global influence.

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.
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.

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.

• Yalta was the the penultimate of the
wartime allied conferences. It dealt mainly
with the settlement of post-war Europe.
Allegedly FD Roosevelt was too ill to
withstand Stalin’s demands, and his
successor, Harry S Truman, took a tougher
line. By by the time of the Potsdam
Conference in July 1945, the West had the
bomb and were anxious to restrict Russia.
4. YALTA (in the USSR)
Date: Feb 1945
Present: Churchill,
Roosevelt and Stalin
5. POTSDAM (Germany)
Date: July 1945
Present: Churchill,
Truman and Stalin

• The Russians took very high casualties to
capture Berlin in May 1945. They spent the
early occupation trying to take over all
zones of the city but were stopped by
German democrats such as Willy Brandt
and Konrad Adenauer. Reluctantly the
Russians had to admit the Americans,
French and British to their respective
zones.
7. Iron Curtain –
A term used by
Winston Churchill
to describe the
separating of
Those communist
lands of East
Europe from the
West.
8. Improve your knowledge
• The nuclear bomb gave America a lead
which was expected to last at least 5
years. The rapid Russian development of
nuclear technology, helped by the work of
the “atom spies” was a shock.
Significantly, Russia hurriedly declared
war against Japan at the beginning of
August 1945 and rushed to advance into
Asia to stake out a position for the post-
war settlement. This helped make both the
Korean and Vietnamese conflicts more
likely.
9. Improve your knowledge
• Truman had been horrified at the pre-war
Allied policy of appeasement and was
determined to stand upto any Soviet
intimidation.
The Truman Doctrine in March 1947
promised that the USA “would support
free peoples who are resisting
subjugation by armed minorities or by
outside pressures”. Triggered by British
inability to hold the line in Greece, it was
followed by aid to Greece and Turkey, and
also money to secure upcoming elections
in Italy and the advance of Communist
trade unions in France.
It signalled the end of “isolationst”
policies.
10. Improve your knowledge
• The Marshall Plan reflected the strength of the
US economy and offered huge sums to enable the
war shattered economies of Europe to rebuild and,
by generating prosperity, to reject the appeal of
Communism, Czechoslovakia showed interest in
receiving Marshall Aid but was blocked by Russia.
The Soviet system was as much dependent upon
creating a self-contained economic bloc as it was
in maintaining a repressive political system.
11. Improve your knowledge
• West Berlin, as an outpost of Western democracy
and economic success deep within the Communist
zone, was both a nest of spies for both sides and a
constant challenge to the Soviets.
The Berlin Blockade was an attempt to starve the
city into submission and the Allied airlift signalled
the West’s determination to use all resources to
defend Berlin.
Thereafter, it was accepted by both sides that
Berlin would act as the trigger for general war. Any
Russian invasion would be followed by conflict with
the considerable Allied forces camped permanently
on the plain of West Germany. Both sides finding
Europe too dangerous a site for confrontation,
looked elsewhere to compete.
12. Improve your knowledge
• The “Red Scare”, launched by Senator Joe
McCarthy, dominated US politics for
several years 1948-53 and helped pressure
Truman into the Korean War, a costly and
ultimately stalemated conflict. Given the
suddeness of the fall of China, the
development of the Soviet bomb, and the
shocking performance of the Western
secret services, the level of panic is
understandable.
13. Improve your knowledge
• Truman restricted his ant-Soviet policy to one of “containment”,
resisting the advance of Communism into South Korea. After some
hesitation he resisted his Commander, Gen Douglas MacArthur’s
attempt to “roll-back” Communism by invading North Korea and
China.
MacArthur was dismissed but Truman’s successors continued to
be drawn into conflicts of containment for the rest of the cold
war. The beginning of the Korean War also highlighted the failings
of the United Nations.
Up to 1950, Russia and America had respectively blocked each
other’s iniatives by using their veto powers in the Security
Council. Because the Russian delegates were boycotting the UN in
1950, Truman was able to condemn the Communist invasion of S
Korea and to set up a counter-attack under the banner of the UN.
In contrast to the pre-War League of Nations, at least this
ensured that the UN would, in future, be able to deploy force in
international disputes.
