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.

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.
3. “What makes visual media a problem? All
societies are saturated in images: forests of
symbols, spheres within spheres, scenes of life,
imaginary others, dreams, hallucinations,
illusions. Social life is dependent on people
communicating all sorts of images, visual, aural
and literary, in stories, pictures, sounds, songs,
dances, myths, prayers and so on, usually while
in a state of dreaming semi-consciousness.”

5. I’m going to hit you with some advertisements
that are what we’d call low hanging fruit. We all
know that “sex sells.” The following images play
off that in various ways. Let’s try to figure out the
context and why, rhetorically, they are meant to
work. What are we supposed to think when we
see them? Do we? Is that good?
6.
7.
8.

10. Sex in Advertising
So I’ve chosen some obvious “using sex to sell
our product” ads. As we look at them, use
your skills to rhetorically determine what the
advertiser is trying to convey to you.
11.
12. It was so big it tore my mouth,
opening that wide.
22. Stop looking at my nakedness! Oh,
wait, it’s just my super-soft clothes.
23.
24. I splatter my face with colors, and
pose like this, because it’s sexy. And
girls always sit like this.
25.
26. If you don’t neuter your dog, he’ll
want to do what you’re thinking of
doing to me. And that’d be wrong.
27. A switch of topics: IP law
As we start to look at making flyers and
brochures, it’s important that we begin to
think about intellectual property and the law.
We touched on this very briefly the first day
with Shepherd Fairey. We’re going to delve a
bit deeper today.
28. Remix is Like…
Remix is the act of taking one or more cultural
artifacts-- visual, video, audio, and/or alphabetic
texts- and deliberately mixing elements together
to create something new that often specifically
mimics one or more of the sources. Many
remixes are meant to be satirical or overtly
political, though satire is not essential.
29. The problem rises….
If you look at my definition, you see the problem
really, really early on: “you take one or more
cultural artifacts”– stress on the “take.” On the
next few slides are some remix images I’ve made
myself recently, just for kicks.
Yeah, I’m a big ol’ remix for fun nerd.
30.
31.
32.
33.
34. Key issue: IP law
The question here becomes “whose intellectual
property are these things?”
Are those mine? I “made” them, but I didn’t make
them from a blank slate. Am I allowed to just
borrow that stuff?
Let’s ask a lawyer!
35. Lessig on IP law
• Lessig declares that he has the following
positions:
– He is anti-piracy
– He is anti-war (meaning law vs. creators here)
– He is anti-lawyer and anti-lobbyist (he includes
himself here, so he’s anti-Lessig, too)
37. Lessig is like,
• “We need to hear less from lawyers and lobbyists
and more from artists [about who owns
culture].”
• " This is a relationship
between technology
and ownership,
which is translated
to digital technology
and copyright.”
38. Pirate Technologies
player piano – “pirated” sheet music
radio– “pirated” records
cable TV– “pirated” network TV
betamax– “pirated” TV and movies
But as these were regulated, the law
always waited to see “the potential of the
technology.”
39. We Didn’t Start the Fire…
• “...this is not the first time radical new
technologies have appeared and changed the
way that culture gets made and distributed. This
is a constant theme...”
• But… The law favored the pirate in those old
cases. It is now "fit the technology
to the law" and not "fit the law to
the technology."
40. "This architecture demands...
the right to remix culture."
Enter DJ Danger Mouse. He felt that the Beatles’
White Album and Jay-Z’s black album went together.
So he created
“the Grey Album”
which you can DL here.
but don’t, because it’s
totally illegal. *wink*
41. Remix
Remix is the act of taking one or more cultural
Remix
artifacts-- visual, video, audio, and/or alphabetic
Remix is the act of taking one or more cultural
texts- and deliberately mixing elements together
artifacts-- in this case visual, though video,
to create something new that often specifically
audio, and alphabetic texts are regularly

remixed-- and deliberatelythe sources. Many
remixes are meant to be satirical or overtly
together to create something new that often
political, though satire more of the sources.
specifically mimics one oris not essential.
45. If you’re offended by profanity, plug your ears right
about now
Whose song is this?
Whose song is this
?
46. Another Example
• The New Yorker ran a piece on Danger Mouse
and the idea of mash-ups.
• “Mashups find new uses for current digital
technology, a new iteration of the cause-andeffect relationship behind almost every change in
pop-music aesthetics: the gear changes, and then
the music does.”
• So… whose song is this?
47. A Stroke of Genius
“In October of 2001, a d.j. named
Roy Kerr, calling himself the
Freelance Hellraiser, sent TempleMorris [a mash-up show duo] a
mashup called “A Stroke of
Genius,” laying Christina
Aguilera’s vocal from “Genie in a
Bottle,” a lubricious pop song,
over the music from the Strokes’
“Hard to Explain,” a brittle,
49. So what we have to consider…
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Who “owns” a particular piece of art
What can we use and what can’t we use?
What IS Fair Use?
What is Creative Commons?
How do we avoid having to try a justification
like this?
50. I want us to talk a bit more about
copyright. And I wanted to bring it
home, as much as I could.
I want to show you something a little
disturbing. You can thank one of your
classmates for alerting me to it
existing…
51.
52. So…
What do we think of this Twitter account?
More importantly, from a class perspective, is it
legally okay? Is it ethical?
Please note that Dr. Phill finds this site problematic
and reprehensible, but it exists and we’re studying
the real digital world, not Dr. Phill’s ideal version of
the digital world. Dr. Phill does not condone such
activities.
53. At stake…
…is an issue of network distribution and the rights to
images.
Do the young women being pictured here give their
consent? Can we tell? Can we assume? How might we
find out?
Does it matter?
54. A second thing to ponder…
… is the real implications of the idea of “fair use.”
Fair use has often been the wildcard in
discussions of intellectual property. But is it really
the shield/umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh we think it
is?
(yes, I just stole from Rhianna)
55.
56. Remember: Copyright:
Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most
governments, giving the creator of an original
work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time.
Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the
copyright holder the right to be credited for the work,
to determine who may adapt the work to other forms,
who may perform the work, who may financially
benefit from it, and other related rights. It is a form
of intellectual property (like the patent, the trademark,
and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible
form of an idea or information that is substantive and
discrete*
57.
58. Factor 1: Purpose/Character
The first factor is regarding whether the use in question
helps fulfill the intention of copyright law to stimulate
creativity for the enrichment of the general public, or
whether it aims to only "supersede the objects" of the
original for reasons of personal profit. To justify the use
as fair, one must demonstrate how it either advances
knowledge or the progress of the arts through the
addition of something new. A key consideration is the
extent to which the use is interpreted as transformative,
as opposed to merely derivative. *
*from Wikipedia– via the link on the previous slide
59. Factor 2: Nature of Work
fair use analyses consider certain aspects of the work to
be relevant, such as whether it is fictional or non-fictional.
To prevent the private ownership of work that rightfully
belongs in the public domain, facts and ideas are separate
from copyright—only their particular expression or
fixation merits such protection. On the other hand, the
social usefulness of freely available information can weigh
against the appropriateness of copyright for certain
fixations.*
*again
60. Factor 3: Amount/Substance
The third factor assesses the quantity or percentage of
the original copyrighted work that has been imported
into the new work. In general, the less that is used in
relation to the whole, ex: a few sentences of a text for a
book review, the more likely that the sample will be
considered fair use. *
*from Wikipedia– via the link on the previous slide
61. Factor 4: Effect on work’s value
The fourth factor measures the effect that
the allegedly infringing use has had on the
copyright owner's ability to exploit his or
her original work. *
*again, Wikipedia
62. A Test Case:
So I made something today. I also used it as
the title slide for this PowerPoint. It is a
panel from a printed comic book with lyrics
from a professionally recorded song
Photoshopped in to replace the original
dialogue.
63.
64. Tutorials
A number of you expressed that you could
use some extra help with the software, so I
have posted a number of tutorials to the
course website for you.
In the remaining time tonight, I want you to
work on a flier with your team. You should
use some of the effects you can learn from
the tutorials.
65. The Task
I am offering an IMS 211: The Analysis of Play
class this Summer II. Right now, enrollment is…
not up to par.
You’re going to make a teaser flyer for it. It’s a
class about video game theory. It runs from
June 30 to August 9th. It’s a great elective for
IMS folks, required for the game minor, and will
be taught entirely online.
Sell it!
66. Design Task 5
Take a photo of yourself and make it look
somehow different (check out the tutorials
for suggestions or come up with your own).
Upload the image to your Tumblr when
done.
67. For next week…
We will talk about the tag assignment. No
readings for class, but we might do some IN
class.
Keep working on your own flyers.
Remember the practice ones in class as you
try to make yours the best you can. And
keep up with your blogs!
