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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

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.

1. Drug Awareness
Lulwa Al Bakri, Dalia Al Jared, Ashwag Al Arnous, Ghada Al Omran, Wardah Shahid Ali
2. What Is Drug
Addiction?
• Addiction is defined as a chronic,
relapsing brain disease that is
characterized by compulsive
drug seeking and use, despite
harmful consequences. It is
considered a brain disease
because drugs change the brain;
they change its structure and
how it works. These brain
changes can be long-lasting, and
can lead to the harmful
behaviors seen in people who
abuse drugs. Therefore, an
addictive drug is a drug which is
both rewarding and reinforcing.
3. Types of Drugs:
• There two main types of drugs:
1. Stimulants
2. Depressants
• Stimulants and depressants are drugs
that alter natural function of the
brain. Generally, stimulants intensify
mental and physical functions, such
as alertness and heart rate.
Depressants have a relaxing effect
and might slow physical functions,
such as breathing.
4. Stimulants:
• Stimulants, sometimes called “uppers,” temporarily increase
alertness and energy. The most commonly used street drugs that fall
into this category are cocaine and amphetamines.
• SHORT-TERM EFFECTS
• Exhaustion, apathy and depression—the “down” that follows the “up.”
It is this immediate and lasting exhaustion that quickly leads the
stimulant user to want the drug again. Soon he is not trying to get
“high,” he is only trying to get “well”—to feel any energy at all.
• LONG-TERM EFFECTS:
• Stimulants can be addictive. Repeated high doses of some stimulants
over a short period can lead to feelings of hostility or paranoia. Such
doses may also result in dangerously high body temperatures and an
irregular heartbeat.
5. Depressants:
• They depress or reduce arousal or stimulation, in various areas of the brain. Depressants are also
occasionally referred to as "downers" as they lower the level of arousal when taken.
• SHORT-TERM EFFECTS:
• Slow brain function
• Slowed pulse and breathing
• Lowered blood pressure
• Poor concentration
• Confusion
• LONG-TERM EFFECTS
• Long-term use of depressants can produce depression, chronic fatigue, breathing difficulties, sexual
problems and sleep problems. As a dependency on the drug increases, cravings, anxiety or panic are
common if the user is unable to get more.
6. TOLERANCE, DEPENDENCE AND WITHDRAWAL
• With regular use, tolerance to and
dependence on drugs can develop.
Withdrawal symptoms may also be
experienced if the drug is reduced
or stopped.
7. Tolerance:
A person needs more of a drug in order to achieve the same effects they felt previously with smaller
amounts.
Types of tolerance:
• Behavioral
Experienced drug users demonstrate behavioral tolerance when they adjust their appearance, mannerisms and
behavior in order to mask their drug use.
• Dispositional
the brain cannot dispose the drugs on its own. Dispositional tolerance refers to the body essentially taking this task
over by speeding up the metabolism so that the blood can circulate the foreign substances quickly for removal by the
liver.
8. • Inverse
Change in the brain and central nervous system concerning the way chemicals are
processed.
• Reverse
the increased sensitivity one experiences toward a particular drug as a result of the
breakdown of the body’s ability to process the substance.
• Select
refers to the fact that in some cases the brain will selectively mitigate some effects of
a substance, but not others.
9. Dependence:
Use of the drug becomes central to a person's life, and they may experience withdrawal
symptoms if they stop using the drug.
Withdrawal:
Describes a series of symptoms that may appear when a
drug on which a user is physically dependent is stopped
or significantly reduced.
10. CRYSTAL METH
Crystal meth is a synthetic (man-made) chemical, it is an illegal drug in the same
class as cocaine and other powerful street drugs. It has many nicknames—meth,
crank, chalk or speed being the most common.
It is a dangerous and potent chemical and, as with all drugs, a poison that first acts
as a stimulant but then begins to systematically destroy the body. Thus it is
associated with serious health conditions, including memory loss, aggression,
psychotic behavior and potential heart and brain damage.
Popular kinds of drugs;
11. “When I gave my three-year-old son
some cheese to eat, I did not know that
I was giving him poisoned food. I was
too stoned on meth to notice, until
twelve hours later, that my son was
deathly ill. But then I was so stoned it
took me two hours to figure out how to
get him to the hospital five miles
away. By the time I got to the
emergency room my boy was
pronounced dead of a lethal dose of
ammonia hydroxide—one of the
chemicals used to make meth.”
—Melanie
12. Heroin:
Heroin is an opioid drug made from morphine, a
natural substance taken from the seed pod of the poppy plant. Heroin can be a
white or
brown powder, or a black sticky substance. Other common names for heroin
include dope and smack.
Heroin enters the brain rapidly and changes back into morphine. It binds to
opioid receptors on cells located in many areas of the brain, especially those
involved in feelings of pain and pleasure.
13. Why do people use drugs?
1“Everyone is doing it.”
2. People think drugs will help relieve stress
3. People get physically injured and unintentionally get hooked on prescribed drugs.
4. People chase the high they once experienced.
14. • Sudden change in behaviour
• Mood swings; irritable and grumpy and then suddenly happy and bright
• Withdrawal from family members
• Loss of interest in hobbies, sports and other favourite
activities
• Changed sleeping pattern; up at night and sleeping
during the day
Signs that someone is using:
Some of these signs are hard to read, but once you do, it’s
never late to be involved.
15. HOW TO GET CLEAN FROM DRUGS:
Whether you are trying to get off drugs yourself, or helping a friend do so, its important to know
that getting clean is a hard process. There are various methods of getting clean, but it’s important
that the addict has support, since it is very difficult to do this alone.
There are some tips of overcoming teen drugs addictions, such as:
•Committing to quitting
•Determining and setting goals
•Seek professional help
•Get support from your family and friends
•Planning to live an addiction-free life
16. Treatment
•Drug treatment is intended to help addicted
individuals stop compulsive drug seeking and use.
•Treatment can occur in a variety of settings, take
many different forms, and last for different
lengths of time.
•Drug addiction is a chronic disorder with
occasional relapses so a short-term, one-time
treatment is not sufficient. Treatment is a long-
term process involving multiple interventions and
regular monitoring.
17. Treatment
•Drug addiction treatment can include medications,
behavioural therapies, or their combination.
•Successful treatment has several steps:
➢detoxification (the process by which the body rids itself of a
drug)
➢behavioural counselling
➢medication (for opioid, tobacco, or alcohol addiction)
➢evaluation and treatment for co-occurring mental health
issues such as depression and anxiety
➢long-term follow-up to prevent relapse
18. Medications Used For Treatment
•Withdrawal: Medications help suppress withdrawal symptoms during detoxification.
•Relapse prevention: Patients can use medications to help re-establish normal brain
function and decrease cravings.
•Co-occurring conditions: Other medications are available to treat possible mental
health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, that may be contributing to the
person’s addiction.
