Screencasting and Presenting for EngineersKunal Johar
Engineers often think about the 'how' as the most exciting part of their work. These details often bore what would be candid listeners.
Take a step back, think about what excites others, then ease in your grand challenges. Tie it all together in a story.
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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

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.

Misconceptions about
Computer Science
• Computer science is the study of computers.
– “Computer science is no more about computers
than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is
about microscopes, or chemistry is about
beakers and test tubes. Science is not about
tools. It is about how we use them, and what
we find out when we do”.
(M. Fellows and I. Parberry)
3. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 3
Misconceptions ( cont. … )
• Computer science is the study of how to
write computer programs.
– Programming is an important part of
computer science, but so primarily as a tool
to implement ideas and solutions.
– A program is only a means to an end, not
an end in itself.
4. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 4
Misconceptions ( cont. … )
• Computer science is the study of the
uses and applications of computers and
software.
– Learning how to use a computer/software
is no more part of computer science than
driver’s education is a branch of automotive
engineering.
5. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 5
What is Computer Science
then?
• The previous definitions:
– although not necessarily (completely) wrong, are
incomplete and thus misleading.
• A more accurate definition:
Computer science is the study of algorithms,
including their properties, their hardware and
linguistic realizations, and their applications.
6. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 6
OK, but what is an
algorithm?
• Formal definition:
– A well-ordered collection of unambiguous and
effectively computable operations that, when
executed, produces a result and halts in a
finite amount of time.
• Or, more informally:
A step-by-step method for accomplishing
some task.
7. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 7
“Algorithms” in our Daily
Life
• Algorithms are not necessarily limited to
specify mathematical tasks.
• We use “algorithms” all the time in our daily
life, for example:
– Cooking recipes.
– Instructions for assembling things.
– Directions how to get to places.
– When performing routine tasks.

10. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 10
Aren’t all “instructions” then an
algorithm?
• … a well-ordered collection …
– Must know in which order to perform the steps
(matters whether you rinse or lather your hair first!).
• …unambiguous and effectively computable
operations …
– must know specifically how to perform each step.
• … that produces a result …
– must be doing something well defined.
• … and halts in a finite amount of time …
– must guarantee that the process stops (eventually).
11. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 11
Algorithms and Problem
Solving
• We have a task or a problem that needs
to be solved:
• We want to translate the procedure for solving
the problem into an algorithm that is:
– Correct
– Efficient
– Each step is computable
12. CMPUT101 Introduction to Computing (c) Yngvi Bjornsson 12
Why bother?
If we can specify an algorithm to solve a
problem, then we can automate its solution.

Computing Agent
• A computing agent is an entity capable of
performing the steps described in the
algorithm, that is, execute the algorithm.
• Could be a:
– Person
– DNA (!)
– Computer
• In our case, typically a computer.
