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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.

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.
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.

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”.

Opening sequence
1.
2. The opening sequence
The opening sequence can be the most crucial aspect
of any film, whether it be a long or short film. The key
purposes of an opening sequence can be essential
when introducing the film to the audience. These
purposes of an opening sequence to a film consists of
establishing key locations that are relevant to the film,
introducing main characters, such as the protagonists
and setting the theme of a film as the audience will
have a clear image of what genre the film will be. This is
what we would like to achieve in our opening
sequence.
3. Establishing Locations
It is important that main locations/locations that are relevant to the
short film are introduced at the beginning of the film in the opening
sequence, as the audience may be familiarised with the location and
may be able to work out or relate a certain genre with the location. For
example, in a film with a romance genre, the first setting may be a
restaurant/park as this may be seen as fitting to the genre of romance,
as the audience may relate the restaurant to being a romantic setting.
We can consider this to our film as in the opening sequence, we plan to
film on the moors. Also, to represent further that the character of Eve is
not normal, we will film on the moors as that is not a usual location for a
girl to be sat at night. This can relate to the genre of a psychological
thriller as it represents isolation and detachment from society, which a
spirit/ghost(Eves character) may experience. We will then film in the car,
using the go pro. We will do this because our film relies mostly on
dialogue to get the story across. We will also be filming transition shots
such as cross cuts of the van driving past, to break up the usage of go pro
footage.
4. Introducing the Protagonists
Introducing the protagonists/main characters in a film is a crucial step for
film producers, as the audience is then clear who the main people are
and what character type they are, for example the innocent character is
normally made the protagonist and are seen at the very beginning of the
film. This shows a story through the protagonists perspective, which
relates to our film as the story is seen through one of our protagonist
Richard’s perspective as he finds Eve. We will introduce Richard first and
then in order of appearance on screen. Meaning after Richard, Eve will be
introduced as she is the other main character as the narrative are built up
around them. We will introduce Richards character as a happy Yorkshire
man, who is content with his life and who is caring. To portray Richards
characteristics, we will have him singing along to a happy song very loud
in his car before he notices Eve. Eve will the be introduced as very pale,
unwell, unhappy and cold and scared. We would also like to portray that
she may have a spiritual/ghostly sense about her, to leave some suspicion
to the audience about who she really is.
5. Setting the Genre/theme
Setting the genre of the film may be difficult as there are many
themes for film and sometimes they can get confused with similar
themes. Our narrative becomes more of a psychological thriller
towards the end of the film as Richard realises Eve has been dead
for four years. We will however, we will film in the evening, as this
is usually the theme to psychological dramas to create a sense of
darkness and scariness to the film, to accentuate there might not
be something quite right with Richards journey. Also, Mise en
Scene is used in our film, as placing a young girl on a white dress at
night doesn’t fit the norm, which represents the psychological
thriller as it is not what the audience would feel comfortable with.
She will be wearing a white dress, connoting innocence from Eve’s
character. We would like to create a world where everything is
okay and a nice state of equilibrium. However as the film goes on,
the disequilibrium gets more powerful and clear. This fits the codes
and conventions of a psychological thriller theme.
6. Our Opening Sequence
For our short film, we would like to have the beginning shot of Richard
driving across the moors in his campervan late at night in his
campervan. We want him to be singing to loud old music that fits his
characteristics, this will represent that he is a happy and joyful, aged
man who has no worries and is seen to be living a happy retired life.
We will then cut to a shot of Eve (protagonist) who will be sat on a rock
on the moors and wearing a thin white dress. This will connote
innocence and purity towards Eve. Her bod posture should be hunched
up as if she is cold and scared. This will also signify that Eve could be
seen as very vulnerable, instantly making the audience feel empathy
for her. As Richard drives past and notices her, he turns his music down
and pulls in. We can use transition shots and transitions when editing
to make these shots more interesting and to break the film down to
make it of a slower pace. Eve will appear as timid and scared when she
walks over to the car and keeps herself to her self during the start.
However, she becomes more revealing towards the end of the film,
leading to audience suspicion.
