Emily Dickinson was a renowned American poet who lived from 1830 to 1886 in Amherst, Massachusetts. She rarely left her home and wrote nearly 1800 poems throughout her life, though few were published during her lifetime. After her death, her sister discovered her poems sewn together in packets. Scholars later realized Dickinson was being innovative with her unconventional use of dashes, capitalization, and formatting. She never married but wrote passionate love poems, though the intended recipients are unknown. Dickinson's poetry is known for its sparseness and imagery.

Emily Dickinson
1830 – 1886
Critic Irving Howe says that Dickinson “is the author of 1,775 poems, most of them bad, a goodly number fine, and a few dozen great.” Although she was an extremely prolific poet, only seven of her poems were published during her lifetime, and her lifestyle has drawn about as much attention as the poetry itself.
There is considerable controversy about her life. Many of her biographers (especially her family) have found congenial the picture of the “New England Nun--the old maid recluse suffering from unrequited love who hid in on the stairway to eavesdrop on conversations or skittered through the garden at night dressed in solid white.”
Dickinson did spend most of her life in Amherst, but her social interaction was probably grater than many biographers have suggested. The confusion over her biography is reflected in the proposed interpretations of many her poems, including the following:
My life closed twice before its close—
My life closed twice before its close—
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me
So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.
The Norton anthology says the one who tried to “teach her immortality” was the Reverend Charles Wadsworth, a Presbyterian minister, whom she first met in Philadelphia in 1854. Other critics maintain that it is Ben Newton, a young law apprentice who died of tuberculosis. Others say it is Leonard Humphrey. In the last decade of her life, she is said to have fallen in love again with Judge Otis P. Lord.
Dickinson’s verse patterns are primarily those of the English hymn. English hymns consisted of quatrains and were arranged:
4 lines of 8 syllables each (long meter) (iambic tetrameter)
4 lines of alternating 6 and 8 (common meter) iambic trimeter/tetrameter
4 lines of two 6, one 8, one 6 (short meter) iambic trimeter/tetrameter/
trimeter.
Most of her poems are in common meter. A few, but some of her best, are in short meter.
Dickinson strived for economy in her verse (few poems are over twelve lines). Because of this desire for conciseness, to communicate only the kernel of thought, her diction consists primarily of monosyllabic and disyllabic words--frequently those of homespun New England life. She clipped sentences and omitted conjunctions. She is often cryptic because she strived to capture the “telegraphic thought.” One critic calls her “half-idiotic.”
Dickinson was innovative in rhyme. She uses eye rhyme (prove/love; daughter/laughter) and approximate rhyme. After her death, Lavinia, Dickinson’s sister, turned over her manuscripts to a neighbor, Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd, who together with Dickinson’s old friend Thomas Wentworth Higginson published in 1890 Poems by Emily Dickinson. Several other volumes appeared in the next fifty years. In 1955 Thomas H. Johnson published The Poems of Emily ...

Emily Dickinson
1830-1886
A virtual recluse
In 55 short years of life, rarely left her home in Amherst, Mass.
A comfortable home: dad a prominent lawyer and civic leader.
A chronically ill mother, for whom Emily had to care
An unmarried sister (“Vinnie”) who also lived at home.
A brother (Austin) and his wife Susan Gilbert, to whom ED wrote.
A highly religious household, but Emily was different; a little strange and solitary. Not anti-social, but not exactly the “belle of the ball.” Hard to communicate with; on a different “wavelength.”
Had few friends. Never married or had a “boy friend,” and, as far as we know, never experienced physical love.
A valentine to a young man at Amherst
“Sir, I desire an interview; meet me at sunrise, or sunset, or the new moon – the place is immaterial…With soul, or spirit, or body, they are all alike to me. With host or alone, in sunshine or storm, in heaven or earth, some how or no how – I propose, sir, to see you. And not to see merely, but a chat, sir, or a tete-a-tete, a confab, a mingling of opposite minds is what I propose to have…Our friendship, sir, shall endure till sun and moon shall wane no more, till stars shall set, and victims rise to grace the final sacrifice…I am Judith, the heroine of the Apocrypha, and you the orator of Ephesus. That’s what they call a metaphor in our country. Don’t be afraid of it, sir, it won’t bite!
To George Gould, a friend of her brother Austin, Feb. 1850
“Vesuvius at home”
Spent her solitude reading (Bible and Shakespeare), writing poetry.
Some poems about the theme of creativity itself. Often compared her creative urge to a volcano bubbling invisibly beneath the surface:
Volcanoes be in Sicily
And South America
I judge from my Geography –
Volcanoes nearer here
A Lava step at any time
Am I inclined to climb –
A Crater I may contemplate
Vesuvius at Home. (#1705; ?)
No desire for fame.
Never in her lifetime did she try to publish her poems. Handwrote and tied them together in small bundles (“fascicles”), 1776 in all. Asked sister to burn them after death.
Vinnie could not do it, and with a family friend, eventually brought them to light.
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – Too?
Then there’s a pair of us?
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog! (#288; c. 1861)
Despite staying at home, she knew the world.
I never saw a Moor –
I never saw the Sea –
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.
(#1052; c. 1865)
Dickinson vs. Whitman
“One of the two great poetic geniuses of the 19th c.” (F. Madden)
As different from Whitman as night from day.
“You speak of Mr. Whitman – I never read his Book – but was told that he was disgraceful --” (ED in letter to TW Higginson, April 1862)
Whitman a “public” poet who loved people; Dickinson intensely private.

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.

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.

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.

And breaths were gathering sure

With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz,
Between the light and me;
And then the windows failed, and then
