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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

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.

Basic Fraction Concepts Defined
Fraction- One part of a 'thingamajig' (a pie, apple, circle, etc.). You write a fraction as two
stacked numbers with a line separating them.
Denominator- The bottom number, which tells you how many equal parts the 'thingamajig' is
divided into.
Numerator-The top number, which tells you how many of those thingamajig parts you're
talking about.
Comparing fractions-If you have two fractions with the same denominator, the one with the
biggest numerator is the biggest fraction.
3. Day 1
Before beginning the lesson, have students take a pre-test on fractions.
Begin the lesson by discussing different foods that you often divide up. Some foods include pie,
pizza, graham crackers and Hershey chocolate bars.
Read book about fractions and discuss.
Then introduce vocabulary to students and complete the following together.
Fractions
Have you ever eaten a part of something and not been able to finish it completely?
Some foods like pie and pizza are already broken into parts which you can eat.
Other foods, you may eat until you are full and have something left over. If you have ever
wondered how much food was left, then you’ve probably measured the amount in fractions.
A fraction is a math term which means that something is broken into parts of a whole.
A pie is a circle that is broken into pieces so it can be shared. Any shape or object can be
broken into fractions!
A fraction is made up of two main parts which are separated by a line. The top part (the
number on top) is called the numerator. The bottom part (the number on the bottom) is called
the denominator.
In this fraction: 4/5
Four is the numerator and five is the denominator.
The most common fraction is a whole. If you have a whole pie then no pieces have been eaten.
4. Let’s say you have a pie which is cut into 6 pieces.
No one has eaten any of the pie yet so there is: 6 out of 6 pieces of pie left.
In fraction form this is: 6/6
Any number that is the same on the top and on the bottom is called: One Whole.
One Whole
Pretend the picture above is a rectangular pizza cut into six pieces. The area that is shaded is
what has not been eaten. Since everything is shaded in, then the whole pizza has not been
eaten. If you were to tell how many pieces of pizza are left you would say 6 out of 6 pieces or
one whole.
Fractions can be broken up into other amounts as well. For example, you have a small pie
which you cut into three pieces.
Two Thirds
One person ate a piece of pie leaving 2 pieces of pie left. To write this in fraction form you’d
first choose the amount of pieces that were not eaten. This number will be the numerator.
Since 2 pieces have not been eaten the numerator is 2. The bottom number is the total
number of pieces you had to begin with. So since the pie was cut into 3 pieces the denominator
is 3.
The fraction form: 2/3
Of course, the fraction of pie that was eaten would be what is not shaded. Since 1 piece has
been eaten the fraction for the amount of pie that has been eaten is: 1/3 Another way to show
the fraction is:
5. One Third
Here are other common fractions
One Fourth Shaded. 1/4 Three Fourths Not Shaded 3/4
One Half Shaded & Not Shaded
It is easy to write fractions in number form. The first number is the numerator and the second
number is in the denominator.
One Fifth = 1/5
Two Eighths = 2/8
Seven tenths = 7/10
Watch the farm video on fractions and complete the farm worksheet together.
6. Day 2
1. Review from the day before including vocabulary. Post and review some visuals.
Watch the video on fractions
2. Tell students that today we are going to read another book. Read “The Door Bell Rang”
to the class and discuss.
3. Then send students back to their seats in groups with some paper cookies. Have the
same amount of cookies as in the book. Encourage students to use the cookies to divide
them up while you re-read the book.
4. Give the students a worksheet to complete and then give them time on IXL.
