Ernest Hemingway was an American novelist and short story writer known for his terse and understated prose style. He commanded loyalty from readers as he was always a young writer focused on themes like panic that resonated with younger generations. His novel The Sun Also Rises established him in his mid-twenties. Hemingway is important because he confronted existential anxieties and insisted through his stories that moments of truth come to all people. His novel For Whom the Bell Tolls explored these existential themes through a protagonist grappling with political ideology and individual experience during the Spanish Civil War.

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 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.

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.

Ernest Miller Hemingway
Born July 21, 1899
Died July 2, 1961 (aged 61)
Awards Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1953)
Nobel Prize in Literature (1954)
Famous Objective and Terse Prose style

Hemingway had written, “Something happens to our good writers at
a certain age. . . .” devote the first half of their lives to imitating human
experience and the second to parodying their imitation.
Always a young writer, and always a writer for the young.
His best novel “The Sun Also Rises” in his mid-twenties and
completed most of his great stories by the age of forty.
Started a campaign of terror against the fixed vocabulary of literature,
a purge of style and pomp, and in the name of naturalness he modelled
a new artifice for tension.
A short-breathed writer, whether in the novel or story.
Struck past the barriers of culture and seemed to disregard the
reticence of civilized relationships.
Always a young writer and always a
writer for the young
5.
In his very first stories Hemingway struck straight to the heart
of our nihilism, writing with that marvellous courage
Hemingway struck straight to the heart of our nihilism through
stories about people who have come to the end of the line, who
no longer know what to do or where to turn
Obsessed with the problem of fear, sought in his fiction for
strategies to overcome it; and that is true, but only partly so.
Touched upon something deeper, something that broke forth in
his fiction as the most personal and lonely kind of experience
but was formed by the pressure of 20th Century history.
Touched the quick of our anxieties, and for the moment of his
excellence he stood ready to face whatever he saw.
His great subject :Panic.
6.
Through the clenched shape of his stories he kept insisting that no one can
escape, moments of truth come to all of us.
John Berryman once said that:
“we live in a culture where a man can go
through his entire life without having once
to discover whether he is a coward.”
Hemingway forced his readers to consider such possibilities, and
through the clenched shape of his stories he kept insisting that no
one can escape, moments of truth come to all of us.
Fatalistic as they often seem, immersed in images of violence and
death, his stories are actually incitements to personal resistance
and renewal. Reading them, one felt stirred to a stronger sense — if
not of one’s possible freedom — then at least of one’s possible
endurance and companionship in stoicism.
Why is Hemingway Important ?
7.
It is this attempt at participation which Hemingway discuss in For
Whom the Bell Tolls.
Robert Jordon, an American professor, joins the Communist forces
as a dynamiter during the Spanish Civil War.
At the beginning of his service Jordon found a great fulfilment in
his participation and seemed on his way to a commitment to
Coaununism.
“Stop making dubious literature about the Barbara and the old Iberians
and admit that you have liked to kill as all who are soldiers by choice
have enjoyed it at aloe time whether they lie about it or not.
You have been tainted With it a long time oow.”
Existential Elements in ‘For Whom the
Bells Tolls’ of Ernest Hemingway
8.
It is because of this taint of spilt from too much that Jordon must reject
communist ideology. Although he desires to participate in the world he
cannot do ao to the extent called for by the Collllllunist collective
because he cannot place the reality of the collective before that of the
individual
What Hemingway is saying in For Whom the Bell Toll and which is
consistent with existentialism is that the life of t he individual with its
plenitude of concert e experience transcends a rationally devised
political and social system.
The participation that Jordon seeks is indeed one of brotherhood with his
fellow men, but it is not the brotherhood of ColJllunism.
Perhaps the key to the kind of participation that Jordon seeks is in the
sermon by John Donne which the title of the book ia taken. The key part
of the sermon is in the last few lines:
••• any man's death diminishes me, because 1
am involved in Mankinde : and therefore never
send to kgo~ for whom the bell tolls; it tolls
for thee. 3
9.
With this discovery of the self and the realization that what one
shares with others is the existential condition Hemingway has
found the basis for participation. in the movement
From the courage to be as oneself to the courage to be as part
Hemingway has elevated the existential view, which a before
only an individual proceas, to a universal position. And
courage is the force which enables the individual to move from
participation.
