The early 1960's in America was fraught with fear looming over from the onset of the cold war. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was sworn into office as the 35th President in January of 1961. Within a few months of taking office, he helped orchestrate the
Bay of Pigs Invasion
, which had a negative result. In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded, and the fear of communism in the United States was stronger than ever. 1963 signaled the beginnings of unrest in Laos and Vietnam, due to a perceived communist threat. Kennedy was preparing to face the crisis mounting in Southeast Asia when he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. The
assassination of JFK
was a pivotal moment not just for American history, but also for American popular culture.
The term
counterculture
has been defined as a culture with values and mores that run counter to, or against those, of established society. There has always been a counterculture to oppose the dominant culture in America, but this group tended to be in the minority of the population until the mid to late 1960's. The assassination of JFK, which was all the more shocking due to the fact that it was the first televised assassination in American history, changed the fabric of the United States. Young people were not merely beginning to question the authority of their parents; they were questioning their rights as citizens, and to have a mistrust of their government.
The 1960's countercultural revolution in the US was not only brought on by political events. The birth of rock and roll in the late 1950's had changed the face of popular music forever, and many new musicians were emerging with a new look, and a new sound. Arguably, the most important band to emerge in the 1960's were not American, but British musicians. Ladies and gentlemen...
The Beatles!
The Beatles
The Beatles were part of the "British Invasion" of bands during the early to mid 1960's, who were becoming extremely popular with American youth. When they first appeared, they sported a clean-cut look, with short hair and suits. As their popularity grew into an international phenomenon, they began to change their appearance, and began to experiment with drugs. Both British, and American youth cultures were transformed by "Beatlemania", as it was called. As the band changed, young people changed with them. Not everyone was a fan of the strong opinions of John Lennon, one of The Beatles two front men. During an interview in 1966, John Lennon remarked that The Beatles had become "
more popular than Jesus
". This caused outrage in the Southern United States, and in Birmingham, Alabama, young people were urged by religious and social leaders to burn Beatles records. Consequently, this was the same part of the country where the civil rights movement was also taking place.
Bob Dylan

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.

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.

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.

• During the 1960s the United States experienced its longest
uninterrupted period of economic expansion in history.
• In the 1960s the housing and computer industries overpowered
automobiles, chemicals, and household appliances which were
the leading sectors in the 1950s.
• Big business dominated the domestic economy during this
time. In 1962 the five largest industrial corporations accounted
for over 12 percent of all assets in manufacturing.
• By 1965 General Motors, Standard Oil of New Jersey and Ford
had larger incomes than all the farms in the United States.
America’s overseas investment increased to $49.2 billion in
1965.
• But at the beginning of the 1960s, poverty was still rampant

• In the United States, a flurry of legal actions in the 1960s and 1970s changed the landscape of reproductive
rights: in 1965, the Supreme Court ruled in Griswold v. Connecticut that it was unconstitutional for the
government to prohibit married couples from using birth control.
• In 1965, 26 states prohibited birth control for unmarried women.
• In 1967 Boston University students petitioned Bill Baird to challenge Massachusetts's stringent "Crimes
Against Chastity, Decency, Morality and Good Order" law.
• On April 6, 1967 he gave a speech to 1,500 students and others at Boston University on abortion and birth
control. He gave a female student one condom and a package of contraceptive foam. Baird was arrested and
convicted as a felon, facing up to ten years in jail.
• He spent three months in Boston's Charles Street Jail. During his challenge to the Massachusetts law, the
Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts stated that "there is nothing to be gained by court action of
this kind. The only way to remove the limitations remaining in the law is through the legislative process."
• Despite this opposition, Baird fought for five years until Eisenstadt v. Baird legalized birth control for all
Americans on March 22, 1972. Eisenstadt v. Baird, a landmark right to privacy decision, became the
foundation for such cases as Roe v. Wade and the 2003 gay rights victory Lawrence v. Texas.

45. • The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Hart–Celler Act,
abolished the National Origins Formula that had been in place in the United States since
the Emergency Quota Act of 1921.
• It was proposed by Representative Emanuel Celler of New York, co-sponsored by
Senator Philip Hart of Michigan, and promoted by Senator Ted
Kennedy of Massachusetts.
• The Hart-Celler Act abolished the national origins quota system that was
American immigration policy since the 1920s, replacing it with a preference system that
focused on immigrants' skills and family relationships with citizens or U.S. residents.
• The 1965 act marked a radical break from the immigration policies of the past. The law
as it stood then excluded Asians and Africans and preferred northern and western
Europeans over southern and eastern ones.
• After Kennedy's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson signed the bill at the foot of
the Statue of Liberty as a symbolic foothold of signing the bill.
