mango is the king of fruits and has a premier status among the commercial fruits grown in India. Indo-Burma region is believed to be the center of origin for mango. it grows wide in the forests of North East India. Now it is grown throughout the tropics. The main production centers are India, Florida, Egypt, natal, E.Africa coast and West Indies. It requires dry weather for flowering and often it is biennial fruit bearer. It is an evergreen tree growing to a height of 10-40 m high and can survive for 100 years or more.
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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. Biology & Life Cycle– Adult are about 1.3 to 1.5 cm in length and are solid
green.
– Eggs are laid in a cluster of 20 or more on the
undersides of leaves. that appear as rows of small
barrels on and around suitable food sources.
– Immature stages vary in color from black for very small
nymphs to green for larger nymphs.
– However, the immature stages ( 5 instar )have a
distinctive pattern of whitish spots on the abdominal
segments.
– Nymphal stages are often found together in high
numbers.
– Development from egg to adult requires about 35 days,
but varies with temperature.
– Up to five generations per year may occur with greater
numbers appearing in the fall before adults overwinter.
5. Host range:
– Stink bugs polyphagous and attack plants
in many plant families. Vegetables
commonly attacked include bean,
cucumber, pea, pepper, squash and
tomato. The southern green stink bug
shows a preference for legumes and
crucifers.
6. Damage:
– Both adults and nymphs of stink bugs have piercing-
sucking mouthparts and feed on leaf, stem and blossom
tissue; however, fruit feeding causes the most damage.
– In fruit, such as tomatoes, damage is of two types.
When the young green fruit is injured, the cells at the
site of feeding are killed by the toxic saliva injected by
the bugs into the plant. This area of the fruit stops
expanding, while the cells around the dead cells
continue to expand by increasing their water content.
The result is deformed fruit that appears to have
dimples. This type of damage has been called "cat
facing.“
– When ripened or nearly ripened fruit is injured, the
injection of toxic saliva merely kills a cluster of cells that
later forms an off-color hard mass in the fruit, reducing
fruit quality and producing a bad flavor to the fruit.
– Some plant diseases are spread by stink bug feeding.
7.
8. Scouting:
– Plants are not sampled prior to flowering.
Post-bloom, whole plants are inspected for
nymphs and adults.
– Gently shaking plants can cause adults to fly,
making them easier to detect.
– After fruit set, 10 fruit per six plants are
inspected for damage.
Action Thresholds:
– 1 nymph or adult per plant
9. Cultural Control
Field Manipulations:
– Weeds and senescent crops can be reservoirs of
migrating adults.
– Tomato and pepper crops should not be planted
near or adjacent to fields with legume cover
crops or fields with weeds.
– Legume or crucifers may be used as trap crops, if
the subsequent bug populations are managed.
10. Chemical Control
Insecticides should be applied when
the action threshold is reached.
Insecticides used most often to control
bugs include the pyrethroid
insecticides and endosulfan .
No insecticide resistance in stink bugs
has been reported
11. Natural Enemies
Parasitic wasps attack eggs and
parasitic flies attack nymphs and
adults.
Generalist predators include ants, big-
eyed bugs (Geocoris spp.), damsel
bugs (Nabis spp.) and spiders.
Timed insecticide applications can
enhance biological control
