The document summarizes the causes and effects of the Great Depression as well as the responses from President Hoover and later President Roosevelt's New Deal programs. It identifies several factors that caused the Depression including low consumer demand from widespread poverty, too much consumer debt, overspeculation in the stock market, overproduction by industries, a farming crisis, and mistakes by the government. The Depression led to high unemployment, homelessness, hunger, and psychological impacts. Initially, Hoover believed the government should do little, but as the crisis deepened he started public works projects. Roosevelt was elected in 1932 and introduced many relief, recovery and reform programs through the New Deal like the FDIC, Social Security, and public works programs to help the nation recover

Alternative Currencies: The Solution to the Economic Crisis?Brian McConnell
"What is now being called the 'Great Recession' shows no sign of ending either in the U.S. or elsewhere in the world. What then should be done? In many locations people are increasingly turning to creation of alternative currencies. But can these really be effective?
This and many other questions will be addressed by Richard C. Cook, author and retired U.S. Treasury analyst."
As a resident of Roanoke and director of the Peace Spiritual Center, Richard brings a wealth of information and an open-eyed critique of the most discussed solutions as well as examples from both ancient and recent history.

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.
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.

2. Part I. What Caused the Great
Depression?
The stock market crash of 1929 was the
event that started the Great Depression.
The depression was caused by several
weaknesses in the economy.
3. Was the Stock Market Crash THE
Cause? No.
• The percentage of American households
owning stock in 1929 was probably less
than ten percent. Today it's about 50
percent -- largely because of retirement
plans like 401(k)s.
• ULTIMATELY THE EFFECTS OF THE
CRASH WERE IN A LOT OF WAYS
PSYCHOLOGICAL.
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/features/crash_1929/story_01.html
4. The Banking Problem
• The crash took an especially heavy toll on the
nation's banks. Many had made loans to stock
market speculators that could never be paid off -
- and simply ran out of money.
• During the Depression, more than 9,000 banks
failed nationwide. The stock market crash and
subsequent bank failures cost ordinary
Americans billions of dollars -- and left many
wondering whether their money was safe
anywhere.
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/features/crash_1929/story_01.html
7. 1. Not Enough Buyers
• 40% of all families lived in poverty—before the
crash
• The richest 1% owned 59% of the nation’s
wealth.
• The poorest 87% owned only 10% of the
nation’s wealth.
• Therefore, demand for many products was low.
• The market for luxury goods was destroyed by
the crash.
8. 2. Too Much Debt
• People began buying many goods on
credit, often more than they could afford
• 80% of all families had no savings
• What happened when people couldn’t pay
back loans?
9. 3. Over-speculation in Stocks
• A “Get Rich Quick” attitude caused many
to speculate.
• People risked everything by buying “on the
margin.”
• When the market collapsed, these
investors lost everything—banks collapsed
because loans weren't repaid
10. 4. Overproduction & Layoffs
• Industries were producing much more than
could be sold.
• They were forced to lay off workers and
lower prices.
• The cycle gets worse…
11. 5. Farming Crisis
• Farmers suffered through droughts and
low prices.
• With low prices, farmers were unable to
repay their loans or purchase goods.
• More banks collapsed.
12. 6. Government Mistakes
• The government set low interest rates
before the crash and raised them
afterward.
• Stock market speculation was
unregulated.
• Bank deposits were not guaranteed.
21. Summary of effects
• Unemployment: 25%
• Homelessness
• Hunger
• Psychological
depression
• More Cooperation
22. Part 3: Solutions
• At first, President
Hoover favored the
traditional government
approach—do little
and wait for things to
get better.
• Private charities were
responsible for helping
the poor
23. Hoover’s Attitude
“I do not believe that the power and duty of
the general government ought to be
extended to the relief of individual
suffering…though people support the
government, the government should not
support the people.”
--Herbert Hoover, 1930
25. Desperate times call for desperate
measures…
• Hoover himself began to change his
views…
• Hoover started some huge projects (like
the Hoover dam)
• Tariffs were raised, but this backfired
• Hoover supported programs to help banks
extend loans to struggling businesses
26. Election of 1932
• By 1932, the
American people
wanted new
leadership.
• Democrat Franklin
Delano Roosevelt
(FDR) easily defeated
Hoover.
• Roosevelt promised
the American people
a New Deal.
28. Part 4: The New Deal
• The New Deal was FDR’s plan to help the
nation get through the great depression by
enacting many government programs
designed to provide:
Relief
Recovery
Reform
Examples of New Deal programs include…
32. FDR endorsed deficit spending
• The government has a deficit when it
spends more than it collect in taxes. This
money is borrowed to be paid back in the
future.
• When is it appropriate for the government
to deficit spend?
33. Other Programs:
FDIC
• The Federal Deposit
Insurance
Corporation
guaranteed bank
deposits—this helped
restore confidence in
banks.
35. Social Security Act
• Collects Social Security taxes from all
workers.
• Pays government pensions to retired
people and disabled people
36. Results of the New Deal
• Helped people get by, eased suffering
• Provided hope
• It did NOT end the depression (WWII did)
• Tradition of a more active and more
expensive government
