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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. Introduction
Fallen Leaf Lake is a mountain lake located in El
Dorado County, California, near the California-
Nevada state border, about one mile south west of
the much larger Lake Tahoe. It is approximately
aligned north-to-south and oval in shape, measuring
approximately 2.9 miles (4.6 km) on the long axis
and 0.9 miles (1.4 km) on the short axis. The lake
was created by at least two glaciers that traveled
northward down the Glen Alpine Valley. If the glacier
had continued instead of stopping, Fallen Leaf Lake
would be a bay of Lake Tahoe, similar to nearby
Emerald Bay. A terminal moraine is visible at the
north end of the lake on the northeast edge.

3. Tributary---Glen Alpine Creek
In the spring, the melting of
snow causes a lot of cold water
to flow into the lake, which
gradually decreases during the
summer, until the summer and
autumn streams are greatly
reduced. Other smaller streams
and streams flow into the lake
4. Formation
Sierra Nevade: cirques, glacial valleys
West shore of the Lake Tahoe basin: valleys,
lakes, peaks. Steep slopes formed by Glaciers.
Moraines formed by Glaciers 70,000 to 150,000
years ago
Ice firelds: Desolation Wilderness, grantic and
metamorphic rocks.
Glaciers deposited rock material (lateral ,
terminal, recessional moraines)
5. Lahontan cutthroat trout
The only trout species native
to Fallen Leaf Lake, Lake
Tahoe and the Truckee River
Basin
Extirpated by introduction of
predatory non-native lake
trout (Salvelinus namaycush),
other competing non-native
salmonids, and overfishing.
6. Bobcat
• Medium-sized North American cat
• Appeared during the Irvingtonian stage of
around 1.8 million years ago (AEO).
• Food: prefers rabbits and hares, also hunts
insects, chickens, geese and other birds, small
rodents, and deer.
• Habitation: territorial and largely solitary,
although with some overlap in home ranges.
7. Bobcat
• Adaptable animal.
• It prefers woodlands—deciduous, coniferous, or mixed—but unlike the other
Lynx species, it does not depend exclusively on the deep forest.
• It ranges from the humid swamps of Florida to desert lands of Texas or rugged
mountain areas. It makes its home near agricultural areas, if rocky ledges,
swamps, or forested tracts are present; its spotted coat serves as camouflage.
• The population of the bobcat depends primarily on the population of its prey;
other principal factors in the selection of habitat type include protection from
severe weather, availability of resting and den sites, dense cover for hunting
and escape, and freedom from disturbance.
8. Bobcat
The bobcat is believed to have evolved from the
Eurasian lynx, which crossed into North America by way
of the Bering Land Bridge during the Pleistocene, with
progenitors arriving as early as 2.6 million years ago.
The first wave moved into the southern portion of
North America, which was soon cut off from the north
by glaciers. This population evolved into modern
bobcats around 20,000 years ago. A second population
arrived from Asia and settled in the north, developing
into the modern Canada lynx. Hybridization between
the bobcat and the Canada lynx may sometimes occur.
9. Steller's jay
Habitation: Steller's jay occurs in most of the forested areas of
western North America.
Although the Steller's jay primarily lives in coniferous forests it
can be found in other types of forests as well.
They can be found from low to moderate elevations, and on
rare occasions to as high as the tree line.
Steller's jays are common in residential and agricultural areas
with nearby forests.
Steller's jays are omnivores. Their diet is about two-thirds plant
matter and one-third animal matter.
They gather food both from the ground and from trees. The
Steller's jay's diet includes a wide range of seeds, nuts, berries
and other fruit.
10. Incense Cedar
A species of conifer native to western
North America, with the bulk of the range
in the United States, from central western
Oregon through most of California and the
extreme west of Nevada, and also a short
distance into northwest Mexico in northern
Baja California.
It grows at altitudes of 50–2,900 metres
(160–9,510 ft). It is the most widely known
species in the genus, and is often simply
called 'incense cedar' without the regional
qualifier.
11. Incense Cedar
• A genus of coniferous trees
• Overlapping dark green, scale
leaves
• Produce cones
• Reddish, furrowed bark
• Drought and heat tolerant
12. Siltstone
ü Siltstone is a clastic sedimentary rock,
consiting of sedimentary structures, such
as layering, cross bedding, ripple marks,
and erosion contacts.
ü Made of loose grandular particles, silt.
ü Chalk le when rubbedd on hand.
ü silt is a mixture of clay minerals, micas,
feldspars, and quartz.
ü occurs when silt compacts onto a rock.
ü Forms where water, wind, or ice deposit
silt.
ü It can be regarded as an example of a
glacial environment and current energy
where mud and sand accumulated.
