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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

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”.

One of the most interesting things I learnt and also
got thoroughly convinced in the course of time from
the practice of NAMASMARAN and Gita; is the fact
that everyone is moving towards the same goal; the
same destination.
This fact usually remains concealed and one gets
impatient to teach others “for their welfare”. This
impatience though natural can create condescending
attitude and develop subtle expectations such as even
publicity and growth of your (otherwise selfless)
mission! This can take away your peace and mar the
quality of your behavior.
When this fact that we all are going in the same
direction and towards the same goal, then true love
(probably million time more than that evident
amongst the pilgrims) can emerge and blossom. That
is the greatest hallmark of world culture.
One I get convinced and clear about this fact, then
even the acts of impatience and ignorance (whether
committed by me or others) do not disturb me any
more to a significant extent.
3. It is matter of great privilege for us to realize (deep
experience) this love especially amongst family
members, relatives, colleagues, coworkers and latter
even the enemies! It is natural (and hence need not be
despised) that; at various stages of development we
keep shouting slogans from within and out, that this
should happen and frantically wait for the results
generally outside!
It is also true that study of Gita can develop a doubt;
“Why truth has to be shown by some else?” or “Why
should I follow the ancestors when I am ‘more
evolved’?” As the study proceeds, you gradually
realize that “truth” or “self” is beyond time. You
develop superiority and inferiority complex; turn by
turn because of your petty identity.
If “I” learn Gita it is neither a matter of pride nor a
matter of pity. It is matter of being happy to blossom
together!
In Gita, there is a reference to virtues in many places
including 16th and 18th chapters.
One of them is “truth”.
In everyday practice, there is always a conflict
between loyal description of facts (which can prove
4. stupid and invite difficulties or at times be honored)
and concealing or misrepresenting the facts, (which
also can engender punishment or bring loads of
profits). Hence there is ongoing conflict in every
mind about the virtue viz. truth and Gita provides the
answer to it.
I began to appreciate the ‘true’ meaning of ‘truth’
gradually and distinguish it from “mere narration of
apparent facts; even if done with 100%; loyalty and
fidelity”, which can be naïve and gullible. I began to
understand that realization of “truth”; is a process and
it leads to expression of appropriate behavior,
conducive to blossoming of everyone and realization
of truth! For this to happen; there are many precepts
which ought to be followed from childhood, but most
important and universally practicable in every
condition and situation is NAMASMARAN.
In 6th chapter there is a verse; which is very famous.
UDDHARET ATMANATMANAM NATMANAM
AVASADAYET
ATMAIVA HYATMANO BANDHUH ATMAIVA
RIPURATMANA
Krishna elucidates the nature of real self to Arjuna in
the 2nd and 3rd chapters. He then advises Arjuna in 6th
5. chapter, to rescue and uplift the other part of his
consciousness (we can call it lower or actually
physical consciousness; without being derogatory)
that has been trapped in body systems; and prevent its
further bondage; through his higher consciousness.
He further states that If you do this you would realize
your higher consciousness is friend of your lower
consciousness and if you don’t then your higher
consciousness is verily the enemy of your lower
consciousness.
It used appear strange that in 2nd chapter Krishna has
referred the war as great opportunity. I used find this
strange and not acceptable, because of my feelings
about the violence. I used to think that war is
avoidable and should be avoided. Later, I used to
think that Krishna was justifies because; he had tried
avert the war sufficiently.
But now I realize that this opportunity refers to the
option to emancipate the lower consciousness by
participating in the war of all physiological and social
conflicts and contradictions.
In my view this war of rescuing and emancipating the
consciousness trapped in senses is described in
HATHAYOGA texts as KUDALINI JAGRUTI.
Hence in HATHAYOGA practices (described in 6th
6. chapter of Gita and Dnyaneshavari or Jnaneshvari)
and intellectual exploration as through the SANKHY
YOGA (also described in 2nd chapter of Gita and
Jnaneshvari) are perfectly complementary and reach
you to the same destination, viz. individual and
global blossoming!
The heavenly beauty and bounty of Gita is that she
takes you beyond petty love and hate relationships.
She reveals to you; how the love and hatred; in as
much as the sense of fear and animosity; are born in
your consciousness trapped in your senses and how
rescuing the same would free you from all
subjectivity and all pettiness. I seem to understand
that; this; if realized by us; can make our personal
relationships far more pleasant than one can ever
imagine! They can go beyond any distance, any time
and even death! This was makes Gita a super
romantic cosmic poetry.
Every single step in this direction (every single
remembrance of God’s name) is more precious than
the entire world, even if mountains of drawbacks and
oceans of adversities within or outside us; try to drag
us back!
I have written an article entitled “Worshiping Sex”
and unknowingly or not being fully aware, I have
7. highlighted this process of rescuing your
consciousness from the physiological bastions rather
than destroying the bastions themselves. I am glad
that now I can appreciate this delicate and subtle and
adorable feeling of sexual attraction in the universe,
which is inseparable from true self and bound to be
free when appropriate.
