The French Revolution began in 1789 due to political and economic grievances with the monarchy. The Third Estate, which made up 97% of the population but had no political power, demanded equal representation. When King Louis XVI refused, the Bastille prison was stormed on July 14th, 1789, marking the start of the Revolution. The National Assembly abolished the special privileges of the nobility and clergy and created a constitutional monarchy, declaring equal rights and liberties for all citizens. However, foreign threats and the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette led to the Reign of Terror, with thousands executed by guillotine under Robespierre's Jacobin leadership before it ended.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

C. She was snobbish and loved to live extravagantly.
Marie Antoinette only 14 years old
when she married the 15-year-old
future king of France Louis XVI.
It took seven years for the future king and queen to consummate their marriage. Just hours after they first met, the young
teenagers were escorted to the bridal chamber on their wedding night by the groom’s grandfather, King Louis XV. After
the king blessed their bed, gave both a kiss and left the room to allow them to start work on producing a royal heir,
nothing happened between the two relative strangers that night. Apparently, nothing happened for the next seven years
either. The dauphin suffered from a painful medical condition that rendered him impotent, and the palace gossip soon
circulated around Europe. Finally in 1777, King Louis XVI underwent surgery to correct the problem and within a year,
Marie Antoinette bore the first of the couple’s four children.
A fairy-tale village was built for her at Versailles.
While peasants starved in villages throughout France, Marie
Antoinette commissioned the construction of the Petit
Hameau, a utopian hamlet with lakes, gardens, cottages,
watermills and a farmhouse on the palace grounds. The
queen and her ladies-in-waiting dressed up as peasants and
pretended to be milkmaids and shepherdesses in their
picturesque rural retreat. Marie Antoinette’s elaborate
spending on frivolities such as the Petit Hameau infuriated
revolutionaries and earned her the moniker “Madame
Deficit.”
