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 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.
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”.

2. Happy November Colleagues!
by Dr. Lisa Hale, Ph.D., MCC, MCEC
President, ICF Colorado
Saturday night I screamed myself hoarse! My twin 16-year-old sons,
Jadon and Kieran, were performing in the State Finals competition for
marching band (in the snow). They, along with their 162 other band
mates and their 10 coaches, had invested 450+ hours of rehearsal
time during the last three months, while also keeping up with school
work, household chores, and for the coaches, other classes they teach. 450 hours! They do
this every year.
Every year for the last 10 years, their band has advanced to State. Every year, Legacy High
School has won. They have a much bigger band, a lot more money and even their own truck
to transport instruments and other equipment. The challenge for Fossil Ridge High School
was to keep creating excellence, as David against Goliath.
This year, they won! I screamed in joy and gratitude that these kids got to experience the
benefit of rehearsing, tweaking, improving, and working as a team. They got to see
measured improvement in a really visceral way. I share this story with you, my fellow
coaches, because there is a great deal that I became present to in watching this season
unfold; a great deal about human performance, about leadership, and about the impact of
what we do as coaches in the world. If you are willing, read on. I’d like to share what I have
discovered with you.
First it might help to understand a little about marching band. Personally, I was not a fan of
"fanfare" music before the last couple of years. I didn’t really care for the sound of 15
trumpets plus tubas plus, plus – all that was noise to me. I preferred more gentle chamber
ensembles. However, I am the mom of a trumpet player and a clarinet player. So, I’ve heard
many big band performances. Isn’t that like what we do with our clients? Sometimes they
are up to things that we might not ourselves choose. But, if we really look, we can find the
love and creativity in what they are up to. Competitive high school marching band
performances are a little different from regular marching bands. They combine dance,
posture, technique, musical excellence, complex choreography, theater and overall visual
impact in a tight, and extremely critically scored environment. They are evaluated on the
shape of their lines and curves; the quality of each player's musical tone; their marching
technique (which is not regular walking); their coordination with each other; their group
musical tone; their performance of the theme (facial and physical expressions) and their
timing and discipline getting on and off the field. Consider all that, and then consider that
fully 25% of the band has never done this before. They are freshmen. Then add to it that
the entire band is made up of teens who we already know might not be all that focused
when left to their own devices. Just sayin'.
At the beginning of the season, I wasn’t sure this band would even make it to State. They
were performing a very complicated show, and they had a brand-new band director. I wasn't
3. sure they'd make it because they were very sloppy at first.
The transition from messy to exceptional was driven by leadership. Many of us assume
leadership means you have followers – or position – or responsibility. I see it a different way.
To me, leadership means creating an outcome that would not have happened without
you. It doesn’t matter whether you are acting alone or with others. Leadership, as a way of
being, is creative. Every time you create a meal, you are exercising leadership. You
personally must lead yourself to coach effectively. In my view, leadership at this personal
individual level, is something every leader who seeks to be effective at leading others must
first internalize as beginning with him/herself. Ghandi led himself first.
When I look at what each of those kids did in their performance, and what each band
director did, it was an act of personal leadership first: the discipline to practice, to show up,
to encourage their mates, to adjust and to correct.
When you and I coach our clients, whether it is in the area of relationship effectiveness,
health, personal happiness, parenting, life changes, business or in organizations, at the base
of it, it seems to me, we are coaching them to grow their capacity to exercise leadership
effectively. When I watched the high school win the state championship, I was struck by the
presence of leadership and heart.
As coaches, when we lead ourselves to stay deeply focused, exercising the core
competencies of our profession with excellence, we open a space for something to occur that
would not have otherwise occurred – both in the session and inside our client. It's that
opening that creates miracles in the lives of others. When we as coaches review what has
occurred in those sessions and tweak, practice, and grow our skills, over time, we too will
see measurable, viscerally experienced results that would not have occurred without the
effective exercise of personal leadership toward professional excellence.
ICF Colorado has been committed to Professional Excellence on every level. Our intention
has been to install a quality of excellence in our board practices and leadership; in our
programming for our members, also our dear colleagues; and in our continuous
improvement practices. Professional Excellence is a mountain with no top. We insist on
continuing to climb it with Good Will, Creativity, Many Hands, Enthusiasm and Commitment.
The personal leadership of our Board Directors and Member Volunteers has created results
that would not have occurred otherwise. What's amazing to me is that our members are
beginning to share the ways in which each of them is also creating results that would not
have happened otherwise – each time they show up for an educational opportunity, or to
connect with another colleague. There is magic happening in our community.
By that I am awed, and I am grateful.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and great joy as you continue to lead yourself and
to grow.
I look forward to connecting with you and seeing you at our holiday party.
Blessings,
Lisa

8. Create Your Vision for the Coaching Business You'll Love
January 2019 In-Person Meeting
Date: January 10, 2019
Time: 6:00-8:30pm MT
Topic: Create Your Vision for the Coaching Business You'll Love
Speaker: Carolyn Rose Hart, PCC
Location: CU Denver
1380 Lawrence, 2nd Floor, Denver, CO 80204
CCEs: 1.5 in Resource Development
Building neural pathways for a successful business takes repetition and clarity of vision.
Carolyn will introduce you to a proven system of success based on solid state blueprinting
and why this matters to the coaching business. Once you gain awareness of how this
proven, reliable and repeatable formula works, your business grows quickly and you have
the experience of a vibrant business.
What if you could use a solid state blueprint and have a breakthrough in your results?
Blueprinting, Bridging and Building — to create a business and move forward without
sabotaging strategies.
What You'll Learn:
You'll gain a powerful tool of blueprinting or creation of a vision for shifting self-
limiting conversations and making a difference through sharing your gifts as a coach.
You'll build awareness of self-limiting conversations and the NeuroScience behind
what sabotages the dreams of your business and that of your clients.
You'll create your own draft outline of your personal vision for your coaching practice,
looking 3 years out.
You'll start moving your vision into a full spectrum priority based on Carolyn's 3-Step
template.

Latest News from
our Co-Education Directors
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEADING AN ICF-CO EDUCATION GROUP?
The seven Education Groups we've had this year have been absolutely wonderful, and we're
extending our deepest gratitude to those who volunteered to lead them this year. These
have enhanced our coaching skills, given us inspiration, and become groups which support
10. each of us on our journey toward success!
The groups for 2019 are now forming. If you have an idea which you think would be
powerful and interesting to have a group explore on a monthly basis, please fill out this form
to let us know what you're proposing. Please contact us if you have questions.
As a group leader, you will be contributing not only to the development of fellow coaches but
also to yourself as well! Your expertise and depth of knowledge will no doubt grow as you
explore a certain topic.
Meetings are typically monthly at a time and day you choose. They can be via
teleconference, video conference, or even in person, and you'll have access to the chapter
conferencing tools if needed. You'll also be able to create a Basecamp location for your
particular group for interaction between meetings. You'll be given training on Zoom,
Basecamp, and our new mechanism for giving ICF CCE certificates if you wish to provide
those. We ask that groups have a reasonable amount of continuity for at least six months,
as this enhances learning and continuity.
Do you have an idea or inspiration? Let us know what it is!

Important: Notice about CCEs
This is a reminder that Continuing
Coaching Education credits are important!
Even if you’re not pursuing a credential
right now, maybe you’ll want to in the
future. At that point, you’ll be scrambling to
go back in your records to find CCEs from
programs you attended, mentor coaching
hours, and hours of coaching client
sessions. So go ahead and create a
spreadsheet or other document, and
update it at the end of every month. You’ll
be glad you did!
And ALWAYS request CCEs for program
you attend, even if you’re not working
toward a credential right now.
Our Colorado ICF Chapter encourages all
members to be credentialed with the ICF
and to continue to improve their coaching
skills by striving to achieve the next level
of credentialing. Many coaches find that
the choice to pursue credentialing is often
driven less by any external requirement
and more by the desire to up-level the skill
and range of our coaching and attain
greater mastery, thus enabling us to
deliver more value to current and future
clients.
To qualify for a credential, a certain
number of coach-specific training hours
are required. To renew a credential, 40
CCE’s (Continuing Coach Education)
hours are required. Our Chapter can
supply some of these hours for you
through attendance at monthly meetings or
participation in special events, such as
webinars, workshops, and the ICF-CO
Conference. If you anticipate needing
CCEs, you can register to receive them
13. when you sign up on our website to attend
any of our events for which CCE's are
being offered.
Even if you’re not currently pursuing
credentialing (or advanced credentialing),
we suggest that you request the CCE
certificate whenever the option is offered,
and keep it on file for later use, as
needed. You can also ask our Virtual
Assistant, Kelly Johnson, to provide you
with CCE certificates going back as far as
two years previous (but no farther than two
years). Kelly may be reached at
303-840-5994 or at
kjohnson@cornerstoneva.com. Please
allow at least two weeks advance notice to
process your request.
