One of the central stories of American history has been the settlement of the West. What push
and pull factors led millions of Americans and immigrants to pour into the West in the decades
after the Civil War? What impact did western settlement by whites have on Indians in the
region? What problems did westerners face once they got there? Why did so many westerners
see the People’s/Populist Party as an answer to those problems? How would you rate the
Populists’ success?
Solution
The railroads created the first great concentrations of capital, spawned the first massive
corporations, made the first of the vast fortunes that would define the “Gilded Age,” unleashed
labor demands that united thousands of farmers and immigrants, and linked many towns and
cities. National railroad mileage tripled in the twenty years after the outbreak of the Civil War,
and tripled again over the four decades that followed. Railroads impelled the creation of uniform
time zones across the country, gave industrialists access to remote markets, and opened the
American west. Railroad companies were the nation’s largest businesses. Their vast national
operations demanded the creation of innovative new corporate organization, advanced
management techniques, and vast sums of capital. Their huge expenditures spurred countless
industries and attracted droves of laborers. And as they crisscrossed the nation, they created a
national market, a truly national economy, and, seemingly, a new national culture.3
The railroads were not natural creations. Their vast capital requirements required the use of
incorporation, a legal innovation that protected shareholders from losses. Enormous amounts of
government support followed. Federal, state, and local governments offered unrivaled handouts
to create the national rail networks.
Lincoln’s Republican Party—which dominated government policy during the Civil War and
Reconstruction—passed legislation granting vast subsidies. Hundreds of millions of acres of land
and millions of dollars’ worth of government bonds were freely given to build the great
transcontinental railroads and the innumerable trunk lines that quickly annihilated the vast
geographic barriers that had so long sheltered American cities from one another
As railroad construction drove economic development, new means of production spawned new
systems of labor. Many wage earners had traditionally seen factory work as a temporary
stepping-stone to attaining their own small businesses or farms. After the war, however, new
technology and greater mechanization meant fewer and fewer workers could legitimately aspire
to economic independence. Stronger and more organized labor unions formed to fight for a
growing, more-permanent working class. At the same time, the growing scale of economic
enterprises increasingly disconnected owners from their employees and day-to-day business
operations. To handle their vast new operations, owners turned to managers. Educated
bureaucrats swelled t.

Mexican Communities in the U.S. Southwest at the Turn of the 20th Century
Immigration to the U.S.: Then and Now
The History of Illegality, the Racialization of Mexican Labor, and the “Revolving Door” of U.S. Immigration Law and Mexicanos
I.
By the dawn of the 20th century, the once sovereign, and often wealthy, Mexican families and communities of the former Northern Mexican territories had been largely dispossessed, brought under U.S. rule, and placed within the lowest rungs of its racial regimes.
One central dimension of this change, therefore, was the marginal status that Mexicanos had come to occupy in the U.S., and the manner in which, despite being native to these lands, they ultimately became thought of as “foreigners” and “illegal aliens”, to be looked upon with suspicion and subject to various forms of state-sponsored violence.
By the middle of the 20th century, Mexican social segregation and political marginality, and the use of Mexicanos as disposable labor, was firmly entrenched and widespread- indeed, these conditions became some of the central issues of the Chicano Movement in the 1960s.
I.
How did Mexican communities come to be thought of as “foreign”, and what was the historical process by which Mexicanos came to be thought of as “iconic illegal aliens”?
In particular, how did Mexicans become the primary target of U.S. border patrol after its formation in 1924?
In turn, how did this racialized and regionalized method of border enforcement shape race in the U.S.?
I.
Throughout the Southwest, the terms of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo were not kept- in particular guarantees of rights of citizenship and protection of property for Mexicans

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe
free," wrote Emma Lazarus in 1883. Inscribed on a bronze plaque at the
base of the Statue of Liberty at the entrance to New York Harbor, these
lines expressed the promise of "the land ofliberty" for generations of im-
migrants to the United States.
During the 1980s, more immigrants arrived in the United States than
in any other decade in history. Yet, unlike millions of their predecessors,
few of them were welcomed by Lady Liberty and few came from Europe.
Most were migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean who had
traveled north, not west, to reach the United States, and crossed borders,
not oceans, to arrive at its shores.
How this nation of immigrants deals with this new wave of immi-
grants from the south may well shape its domestic history and hemi-
spheric relations during the twenty-first century. It may also force the
United States of America to rethink what it means to be "American."
These new immigrants have made the United States the fifth largest
Spanish-speaking country in the world. Today, it has the hemisphere's
largest Puerto Rican city, second largest concentrations of Cubans, Sal-
vadorans, Haitians, and Jamaicans, and fourth largest Mexican metrop-
olis. People of Latin American origin have surpassed African-Americans
North of the Border I 585
as the nation's largest minority group. Their concentrations in such large
states as California, Florida, New York, and Texas-and in some of the
country's biggest cities-will increase their social and political impact
still further. By 202 5, they will be the largest race or ethnic group in Cali-
fornia, comprising 4 3 percent of the population of the largest state. Al-
ready more than half of Miami is of Latin American descent, and the
same is true for nearly 40 percent of Los Angeles and a quarter of Hous-
ton and New York. Increasingly, "Anglos"-a term that "Hispanics,"
people with Spanish American cultural roots, apply to all white English-
speaking North Americans-will have to come to terms with the fact that
they not only share the Americas with their Latin American and
Caribbean neighbors, but that they also share their own country with
growing communities of "Latinos," people of Latin American descent.
The 2000 census revealed that there were more than 3 5 million His-
panics living in the continental United States, a 58 percent increase over
1980 and a nine-fold rise over 1950. By 2005, there were over 40 million
Hispanics living on the mainland and their numbers were growing four
times as fast as the U.S. population as a whole, as a result of immigra-
tion-legal and illegal-as well as higher birth rates. If current trends
continue, there will be more than roo million Hispanic-Americans by

For Phantom Limb Syndrome, please describe the symptoms and the part .pdfmalavshah9013
For Phantom Limb Syndrome, please describe the symptoms and the part of the brain affected
explicitly, and the cure. How do sea stars\' cat? Describe the Water Vascular System in Sea
Stars (WVS). What is its structure? How does the water get into the WVS? How does it control
the tube feet? Besides moving the tube feet, what does the WVS do?
Solution
1) Phantom limb syndrome is a condition or a sensation in which the cut or missed limb is being
still attached with the person\'s body. It can also be caused due to removal of the body parts due
to the certain reasons.. It affects the brain nerve ending called Neuromas..!!
The symptoms include limb pain in some cases, gesturing, feeling itchiness, and most important
is the feeling of one hand small and long which can bring to severe pain..!!
Some of the cure way of this is meditation, acupuncture, anti-depressants, spinal cord
stimulation..!! Some chemicals like morphine could also be a used...
3) water vascular system is a hydraulic water system present in echinodermata like sea stars.. It
help in food, water movement, locomotion, waste transportation and even respiration too..
They are composed of canals which connects to tube feet . it moves by contacting muscles
present in them which forces the water inside it resulting in extending, pushing on to the ground
and again retracing..
The structure of it is like it has a sieve like structure which is connected to central duct called
amphula. This amphula is connected to another duct called stone canal. This canal runs as a
ambulagrel grooves on each arm of the sea star underside..!! This gives its appearance like a tube
foot.
The contraction of the amphulle cause podia to stretch water inside which allows for the
movement..!!.
Explain why the organisms that were studied by Sergei Winogradsky co.pdfmalavshah9013
Explain why the organisms that were studied by Sergei Winogradsky could not be grown on
Robert Koch’s plate media containing agar or gelatin.
Solution
The organisms studied by Sergei Winogradsky are lithotrophs. Lithotrophs are the organisms
that need inorganic nutrients to synthesise the biomolecules necessary for the survival. Robert
Koch’s plate media containing agar or gelatin provides only organic nutrients. So, the lithotrophs
studied by Sergei Winogradsky could not be grown on Robert Koch’s plate media..
Electron transport powers the first steps of photosynthesis. The fo.pdfmalavshah9013
Electron transport powers the first steps of photosynthesis. The following diagram shows the
passage of electrons through the photosynthetic electron transport chain (ETC). a. What is the
source of the electrons (e) that enter Photosystem II (PSII)? What membrane are these
complexes embedded in? What is the final e^- acceptor for e^- leaving Photosystem I (PSI)?
(Please indicate both the unreduced and the reduced form of this acceptor) The light energy
captured by the photosynthetic reaction centers is used to establish a pH gradient across this
chloroplast membrane. (This means a gradient of H ions.) a. Indicate on the diagram above,
where the concentration of H is low and where it is high. How is this pH gradient established?
Specify at least 2 different ways. How is the H gradient (potential energy) used? What are the
products that the proton gradient made? Where in the chloroplast are they made?
Solution
Question number 1 :
A. In Higher plants, the ultimate source of the electrons passed to NADPH in plant (oxygenic)
photosynthesis is water. Photosynthetic bacteria use a variety of electron donors for this purpose
acetate, succinate, malate, or sulfide depending on what is available in a particular ecological
niche.
B. These photosystems are embedded in the thylokoid membranes. Higher plants contsins two
types of photosynthetic units associated with two different pigment systems, whcih obsorbs light
of different wavelengths.
C. The final electron acceptor in photosynthesis is NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH by
NADP reductase..
Describe 5 key traits the lung cancer cells within the primary tumor.pdfmalavshah9013
Describe 5 key traits the lung cancer cells within the primary tumor acquire and why they are
significant.
•As genetic stability is lost and genetic mutations accumulate some of these mutation result in
advantageous changes to cellular function. As a result, lung cancer cells acquire traits effective
for growth and development of tumors and invasion into surrounding tissue. Describe five of the
traits lung cancer cells have that are advantageous and justify why you chose those traits.
Solution
Thanks for the question
1. self-sufficiency in growth signals- the cell can keep growing by itself
2. insensitivity to growth-inhibitory (antigrowth) signals - the cell looses the ability to restrict its
unrestricted growth
3. evasion of programmed cell death (apoptosis),- the cell looses the ability of the body to evade
death and discard.
4. limitless replicative potential - the cell can keep on multiplying as much as it can without any
blocks or barriers
5. sustained angiogenesis- there is a constant and adequate emergence of blood supply for the
new grown tissues and cells
6. tissue invasion and metastasis. - the cancer cells are able to spread themselves into other
tissues physically and through blood
Each of these physiologic changes cause the successful transformation of non cancer cells to
cancer cells and make ineffective the anticancer defense mechanism present in the cells. These
six capabilities are shared in common by most and perhaps all types of human tumors.

For Phantom Limb Syndrome, please describe the symptoms and the part .pdfmalavshah9013
For Phantom Limb Syndrome, please describe the symptoms and the part of the brain affected
explicitly, and the cure. How do sea stars\' cat? Describe the Water Vascular System in Sea
Stars (WVS). What is its structure? How does the water get into the WVS? How does it control
the tube feet? Besides moving the tube feet, what does the WVS do?
Solution
1) Phantom limb syndrome is a condition or a sensation in which the cut or missed limb is being
still attached with the person\'s body. It can also be caused due to removal of the body parts due
to the certain reasons.. It affects the brain nerve ending called Neuromas..!!
The symptoms include limb pain in some cases, gesturing, feeling itchiness, and most important
is the feeling of one hand small and long which can bring to severe pain..!!
Some of the cure way of this is meditation, acupuncture, anti-depressants, spinal cord
stimulation..!! Some chemicals like morphine could also be a used...
3) water vascular system is a hydraulic water system present in echinodermata like sea stars.. It
help in food, water movement, locomotion, waste transportation and even respiration too..
They are composed of canals which connects to tube feet . it moves by contacting muscles
present in them which forces the water inside it resulting in extending, pushing on to the ground
and again retracing..
The structure of it is like it has a sieve like structure which is connected to central duct called
amphula. This amphula is connected to another duct called stone canal. This canal runs as a
ambulagrel grooves on each arm of the sea star underside..!! This gives its appearance like a tube
foot.
The contraction of the amphulle cause podia to stretch water inside which allows for the
movement..!!.

Electron transport powers the first steps of photosynthesis. The following diagram shows the
passage of electrons through the photosynthetic electron transport chain (ETC). a. What is the
source of the electrons (e) that enter Photosystem II (PSII)? What membrane are these
complexes embedded in? What is the final e^- acceptor for e^- leaving Photosystem I (PSI)?
(Please indicate both the unreduced and the reduced form of this acceptor) The light energy
captured by the photosynthetic reaction centers is used to establish a pH gradient across this
chloroplast membrane. (This means a gradient of H ions.) a. Indicate on the diagram above,
where the concentration of H is low and where it is high. How is this pH gradient established?
Specify at least 2 different ways. How is the H gradient (potential energy) used? What are the
products that the proton gradient made? Where in the chloroplast are they made?
Solution
Question number 1 :
A. In Higher plants, the ultimate source of the electrons passed to NADPH in plant (oxygenic)
photosynthesis is water. Photosynthetic bacteria use a variety of electron donors for this purpose
acetate, succinate, malate, or sulfide depending on what is available in a particular ecological
niche.
B. These photosystems are embedded in the thylokoid membranes. Higher plants contsins two
types of photosynthetic units associated with two different pigment systems, whcih obsorbs light
of different wavelengths.
C. The final electron acceptor in photosynthesis is NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH by
NADP reductase..
Describe 5 key traits the lung cancer cells within the primary tumor.pdfmalavshah9013
Describe 5 key traits the lung cancer cells within the primary tumor acquire and why they are
significant.
•As genetic stability is lost and genetic mutations accumulate some of these mutation result in
advantageous changes to cellular function. As a result, lung cancer cells acquire traits effective
for growth and development of tumors and invasion into surrounding tissue. Describe five of the
traits lung cancer cells have that are advantageous and justify why you chose those traits.
Solution
Thanks for the question
1. self-sufficiency in growth signals- the cell can keep growing by itself
2. insensitivity to growth-inhibitory (antigrowth) signals - the cell looses the ability to restrict its
unrestricted growth
3. evasion of programmed cell death (apoptosis),- the cell looses the ability of the body to evade
death and discard.
4. limitless replicative potential - the cell can keep on multiplying as much as it can without any
blocks or barriers
5. sustained angiogenesis- there is a constant and adequate emergence of blood supply for the
new grown tissues and cells
6. tissue invasion and metastasis. - the cancer cells are able to spread themselves into other
tissues physically and through blood
Each of these physiologic changes cause the successful transformation of non cancer cells to
cancer cells and make ineffective the anticancer defense mechanism present in the cells. These
six capabilities are shared in common by most and perhaps all types of human tumors.

Wolves were hunted and poisoned to extinction in Sweden and Norway b.pdfmalavshah9013
Wolves were hunted and poisoned to extinction in Sweden and Norway by the mid-20th century.
Three wolves migrated from Russia and founded a new Scandinavian wolf population in the
early 1980s. That population now consists of approximately 100 animals. How large do you
think the Scandinavian wolf population should be to maintain genetic variation that may be
important for the viability (continued persistence) and continued evolution of this population?
There is some possibility of gene flow into this population from Russian wolves. Do you think
that it is important that gene flow between the Scandinavian and the Russian populations be
maintained in the future? Why?
Solution
There is no cut-off formula for calculating the length of population to maintain genetic diversity.
It is important to note that even after bottleneck effect populations are able to survive and are
able to maintain genetic diversity. Here, there are 100 animals; and these 100 animals are
heterozygous, not pure lines; because they have already mixed up with the Scandinavian
population. So, the population is large enough to maintain genetic variation.
Yes, there is further possibility of mixing of this population with Russian wolves further also; but
that possibility is very rare. This is so because wolves have already been extinct over there; as
per the question.
No, it is no more compulsion for gene flow between the two populations. This is so because the
populations have already diverged. And a subsequent amount of genetic variability has been
attained..

All the three mentioned are encryption method and stands for PGP - Pretty Good Privacy,
GPG(GNU Privacy Guard)
The difference between three could be below:
Availability in market - PGP is a licensed product whereas OpenPGP and GPG are freewares.
Functionality - PGP is a encyrption method that uses hashing,compression, cyrptography
concepts, OpenPgP is an encryption method which uses processes that are interoperatable with
PGP and GPG is a encryption method which provides a graphical inerface to encrypt files..
Declaring a PointerTo define a pointer, use an asterisk, (), in t.pdfmalavshah9013
Declaring a Pointer
To define a pointer, use an asterisk, (*), in the declaration to specify the variable will be a pointer
to the specified data type.
Recall that the name of an array holds the memory address of the first element of the array. The
second statement then would store the memory address of the first value in the variable valuePtr.
The name of a pointer is an identifier and must follow the rules for defining an identifier. Some
programmers place the letters ptr, a common abbreviation for pointer, at the end of the variable
name, others prefix a pointer with p_ or ptr_, and there are those who do nothing to distinguish a
pointer by its name. The naming of a pointer variable is a matter of programming style.
Once a pointer has been declared and initialized, it can be used to access the data to which it
points. In order to access this value, the dereference operator, *, must be used to prefix the name
of the pointer. From the code above, valuePtr holds the address of the first element of the values
array; therefore, *valuePtr will access the value 325. Add the following to main and execute the
program.
The output generated should look something like the following.
Where 0xbfad43e8 is a memory address displayed in hexadecimal.
Obtaining the Memory Address of a Variable
The address operator, &, is used to determine the memory address of a variable that is not an
array. Add code necessary to use fixed and setprecision, then add the following to main and run
the program to confirm the use of the address operator.
Using a Pointer to Alter Data
Just as the dereference operator is used to retrieve data, so too is it used to store data. Add the
following to function main and run the program.
The pointer, ratePtr, is used to change the data stored in payRate. The output of payRate
confirms the change.
Using a Pointer in an Expression
As previously shown, the value pointed to by a pointer variable can be retrieved by dereferencing
the pointer. In the above code, the retrieved value was simply displayed to the screen; however,
it can also be used in an expression. Add the following to main and execute the program.
Pointer Arithmetic
It is possible to add to or subtract from a memory address stored in a pointer. These actions can
be accomplished using the addition operator,+, subtraction operator, - and the increment and
decrement operators, ++ and --. This is helpful when accessing arrays via pointers.
The increment operator has been used to add the value 1 to a variable. When used with a pointer,
the increment operator adds the size of the data referenced to the memory address stored in the
pointer, effectively moving the pointer to the next data value. Building on the code from above,
add the following to main and execute the program.
We initialized valuePtr to the memory address of the first element of the array values.
Incrementing valuePtr instructs the computer to add four bytes, the size of an integer, to the
memory addressed stored in .

Which of the following concepts is exemplified by the story of Parus .pdfmalavshah9013
Which of the following concepts is exemplified by the story of Parus major and the island of
Vlieland? Gene flow reduces the genetic differences between populations. Gene flow can affect
how well populations are adapted to local environmental conditions. Genetic drift is significant
in small populations. Genetic drift can lead to a loss of genetic variation within populations.
Relative fitness is not the same as fitness when calculated on a 0-1 scale.
Solution
ANS: E. Relative fitness is not the same as fitness when calculated on a 0-1 scale.
Explanation:
Ex: the great tit (Parus major) on the Dutch island of Vlieland.
In Parus major high immigrated central region birds have a lower fitness, when compare with the
low immigration birds which are present in east. This phenomenon clearly explains low
immigrated birds had higher fitness.
Definitions of Other Terminology:
Darwin\'s fitness:
It is the ability of an individual to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Fitness of an organism is measured by how many offspring it produces compared to other
individuals of a species.
Adaptation refers to the trait that increases organism fitness relative to individuals without the
trait.
Genetic drift:
It is random and happens in every population due to chance. Because of this smaller population
are more susceptible to the effect of genetic drift.
Gene pool:
Gene pool is a reservoir of all genes, which was present in a population. Gene pool corresponds
with a number of unique alleles present in a population..

What tarsal is lateral to the medial cuneiform What tarsal is .pdfmalavshah9013
What tarsal is lateral to the medial cuneiform?
What tarsal is lateral to the medial cuneiform?
Solution
Answer:
The tarsal bone lateral to the medial cuneiform is themiddle cuneiform (or the intermediate
cuneiform) .
There are seven tarsal bones and they are the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the medial,
middle, and lateral cuneiforms. Among the three cuneiforms, the medial cuneiform (also known
as first cuneiform) is the largest cuneiform bone. Lateral to the medial cuneiform is the middle
cuneiform and its lateral surface is marked by an inverted L-shaped facet along the posterior and
superior margins for the middle cuneiform bone..

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

One of the central stories of American history has been the settleme.pdf
1. One of the central stories of American history has been the settlement of the West. What push
and pull factors led millions of Americans and immigrants to pour into the West in the decades
after the Civil War? What impact did western settlement by whites have on Indians in the
region? What problems did westerners face once they got there? Why did so many westerners
see the People’s/Populist Party as an answer to those problems? How would you rate the
Populists’ success?
Solution
The railroads created the first great concentrations of capital, spawned the first massive
corporations, made the first of the vast fortunes that would define the “Gilded Age,” unleashed
labor demands that united thousands of farmers and immigrants, and linked many towns and
cities. National railroad mileage tripled in the twenty years after the outbreak of the Civil War,
and tripled again over the four decades that followed. Railroads impelled the creation of uniform
time zones across the country, gave industrialists access to remote markets, and opened the
American west. Railroad companies were the nation’s largest businesses. Their vast national
operations demanded the creation of innovative new corporate organization, advanced
management techniques, and vast sums of capital. Their huge expenditures spurred countless
industries and attracted droves of laborers. And as they crisscrossed the nation, they created a
national market, a truly national economy, and, seemingly, a new national culture.3
The railroads were not natural creations. Their vast capital requirements required the use of
incorporation, a legal innovation that protected shareholders from losses. Enormous amounts of
government support followed. Federal, state, and local governments offered unrivaled handouts
to create the national rail networks.
Lincoln’s Republican Party—which dominated government policy during the Civil War and
Reconstruction—passed legislation granting vast subsidies. Hundreds of millions of acres of land
and millions of dollars’ worth of government bonds were freely given to build the great
transcontinental railroads and the innumerable trunk lines that quickly annihilated the vast
geographic barriers that had so long sheltered American cities from one another
As railroad construction drove economic development, new means of production spawned new
systems of labor. Many wage earners had traditionally seen factory work as a temporary
stepping-stone to attaining their own small businesses or farms. After the war, however, new
technology and greater mechanization meant fewer and fewer workers could legitimately aspire
to economic independence. Stronger and more organized labor unions formed to fight for a
growing, more-permanent working class. At the same time, the growing scale of economic
2. enterprises increasingly disconnected owners from their employees and day-to-day business
operations. To handle their vast new operations, owners turned to managers. Educated
bureaucrats swelled the ranks of an emerging middle class.
From 1820 to 2001, more than 67 million people entered this country from many lands. Some
paid their own way. Some came as indentured servants. Some signed up as contract laborers to
work on American railroads, canals, farms, and factories. Others came as refugees or entered the
United States illegally. Millions abandoned their homes to become part of the greatest mass
migration of people in the history of the world. Why did they do this, and why do they still
come?
As in most cases of human migration, there are "push" and "pull" factors at work. "Push"
factors are conditions that encourage people to leave their homelands. They include such things
as famine, unemployment, and poverty. Also, crippling taxes, wars, the military draft, and
religious and political persecution have forced people to abandon their native countries.
Immigrants coming to this country have not only been "pushed" from their homelands. They
have also been "pulled" by the seemingly limitless opportunities of America. There was land to
farm. There were forests to cut down and railroads to build. The Gold Rush of 1849 stirred the
imaginations of the adventurous. Those trapped in poverty saw a way out by getting jobs as farm
laborers or in the industrial cities of America. Still others were drawn by the American ideals of
freedom and equality.
Millions of immigrants have pulled up their roots and journeyed to America. Immigrants are still
coming. They are coming for the same reason that most immigrants came in the past: for hope
and a chance for a better life
Industry pulled ever more Americans into cities. Manufacturing needed the labor pool and the
infrastructure. America’s urban population increased seven fold in the half-century after the Civil
War. Soon the United States had more large cities than any country in the world. The 1920 U.S.
census revealed that, for the first time, a majority of Americans lived in urban areas. Much of
that urban growth came from the millions of immigrants pouring into the nation. Between 1870
and 1920, over 25 million immigrants arrived in the United States.
By the turn of the twentieth century, new immigrant groups such as Italians, Poles, and Eastern
European Jews made up a larger percentages of arrivals than the Irish and Germans. The specific
reasons that immigrants left their particular countries and the reasons they came to the United
States (what historians call “push” and “pull” factors) varied.
Settlers on their way overland to Oregon and California became targets of Indian threats. Robert
L. Munkres read 66 diaries of parties traveling the Oregon Trail between 1834 and 1860 to
estimate the actual dangers they faced from Indian attacks in Nebraska and Wyoming. The vast
majority of diarists reported no armed attacks at all. However many did report harassment by
3. Indians who begged or demanded tolls, and stole horses and cattle.
American attitudes towards Indians during this period ranged from malevolence to misdirected
humanitarianism (Indians live in "inferior" societies and by assimilation into white society they
can be redeemed) to somewhat realistic (Native Americans and settlers could co-exist in separate
but equal societies, dividing up the remaining western land).Dealing with nomadic tribes
complicated the reservation strategy and decentralized tribal power made treaty making difficult
among the Plains Indians. Conflicts erupted in the 1850s, resulting in various Indian wars.In
these times of conflict, Indians become more stringent about white men entering their territory.
Such as in the case of Oliver Loving, they would sometimes attack cowboys and their cattle if
ever caught crossing in the borders of their land.They would also prey upon livestock if food was
scarce during hard times. However, relationship between cowboys and Native Americans were
more mutual than they are portrayed, and the former would occasionally pay a fine of 10 cents
per cow for the latter to allow them to travel through their land. Indians also preyed upon
stagecoaches travelling in the frontier for its horses and valuables.
The People's Party (or Populist Party, as it was widely known) was much younger than the
Democratic and Republican Parties, which had been founded before the Civil War. Agricultural
areas in the West and South had been hit by economic depression years before industrial areas.
In the 1880s, as drought hit the wheat-growing areas of the Great Plains and prices for Southern
cotton sunk to new lows, many tenant farmers fell into deep debt. This exacerbated long-held
grievances against railroads, lenders, grain-elevator owners, and others with whom farmers did
business. By the early 1890s, as the depression worsened, some industrial workers shared these
farm families' views on labor and the trusts.
In the national campaign, Populists served mostly as a symbol for Republicans, who warned that
the silver Democrats had allied themselves with ignorant "hayseeds" and "anarchists." Bryan
virtually ignored the People's Party, even though he was its nominee. While the nomination of
Bryan had destroyed the hopes of mid-roaders, Bryan's defeat demoralized the fusionists,
leaving the whole party in shambles.
As Watson had predicted, fusion on the "free silver" issue de-railed the rest of Populists'
agenda and killed the party's hopes for national power. While Populists continued to hold power
in a few Western states, the party vanished from the larger electoral map. Nonetheless, Populist
ideas survived into the new century.
