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.
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.

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.

Background History of Nestlé
The first European condensed milk factory was opened in Cham, Switzerland in year 1866
by the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company (Nestle.com) whose founders were
Americans Charles and George Page.
Before setting up the Nestlé company, in year 1867, Vevey, Switzerland, the founder,
Henri Nestlé, who was a trained pharmacist, began experimenting with various combinations
of cow’s milk, wheat flour and sugar in order to develop an alternative source of food
nutrition for babies that couldn’t being breastfeed by their mother. His goal was to help to
solve the problem of the infant mortality from malnutrition. And then the product was named
Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé.
Nestlé’s first customer was a premature baby whose mother was dangerously ill and was
unable to breastfeed the child and thus the baby became malnutrition. But when the baby
drank Farine Lactée, he immediately recovered from the infant mortality caused by
malnutrition. Soon, people recognized and knew the value of the new product and within a
few years, Farine Lactée was being marketed in Europe and also created a demand
throughout Europe.
Meanwhile, Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company has broadened its product line in the
mid-1870s to include cheese and infant formula. The Nestlé Company, which had been
purchased by Jules Monnerat in 1875, responded by launching own brand of condensed
products. Both of the company had a fierce and strong competition until they merged in year
1905, which formed the name of Nestlé & Anglo-Swiss Holding Co.Ltd on November 27,
1936.
After that, Nestlé Company had its name changes for several times after merged with the
companies and this continues until year 1977, a new name, Nestlé S.A. was created. For the
following years till now, they kept launching new products and brand names other than
marketing their products to other countries.
The vision of Nestlé is to become the world’s leading nutrition, health and wellness
company delivering improved shareholder value by being a preferred corporate citizen,
preferred employer, preferred supplier selling preferred products.( Nestle.com). While the
mission of Nestlé which is "Good Food, Good Life" is to provide consumers with the best
tasting, most nutritious choices in a wide range of food and beverage categories and eating
occasions, from morning to night. ( Nestle.com).
Nestlé is a nutrition, health and wellness company, also is the largest food and beverage
company in the world where it manufactures, supplies and produces variety types of products
for various fields. They also encourage product growth through innovation and renovation.
And so, there are many different products sold in market which include prepared dishes and
cooking aids, milk-based products, pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic goods, baby foods,
bottled water, cereals, chocolates and confectionery, coffee, culinary, chilled and frozen food,
dairy, ice-cream, food services and pet care. Everyday, over one billion Nestlé products are
sold worldwide which represents over two thousand global and local brands of the products.

Justifications of the worthy of investment for Nestléshare
To determine whether the company is worth investing in, we must consider that the company
have demonstrated good profitability, strong financial stability and its share are available at a
cheap price (P/E) of 15 or lower) to warrant the investment.
After we calculated the profitability ratio and stability ratio, we have come to a conclusion
that we would not suggest the investor to buy the company's shares and invest in the
company because the price is not cheap (P/E of 29.05 which is more than 15) and it take
29.05 years is too long for Investor to claim back his original principal. A conservative
investor will normally pay no more than P/E of 15 for a share that he likes.
