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”.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

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.

9. SONG
What Hurts The Most Me & My Gang 3:34
Rascal Flatts Country
I picked this song to represent when Skip dies because
Willie and Skip where very close and shared many
good times together
Lyrics
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house. That
don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then and
just let them out I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while,
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me. There
are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok. But that's
not what gets me
10. SONG CONT.
What hurts the most Was being so close And having so much to say
And watching you walk away And never knowing What could have
been And not seeing that loving you Is what I was tryin' to do It's
hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go But I'm
doin' It It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm
alone Still Harder Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over I would trade give away all the words
that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken What hurts the most Is
being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk
away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing
that loving you Is what I was trying to do What hurts the most Is
being so close And having so much to say And watching you walk
away And never knowing What could have been And not seeing
that loving you Is what I was trying to do Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
11. RATING
I would give this book one star out of five. I would give it this
rating because it never grasped my attention and had many
long and confusing words. It was also not what I expected
because I saw the movie and the part shown in the movie
was only one chapter of the book. I did give it one star
because I thought the author put a lot of heart into writing it
and reflecting on his childhood.
