1) In the late 19th century, farmers in South Carolina struggled with overproduction of cotton, natural disasters like droughts and pests, and the sharecropping system.
2) The Populist movement organized farmers across the South and Midwest to advocate for reforms that would help farmers, including regulation of railroads and banking, free coinage of silver, and establishment of land-grant colleges.
3) South Carolina was impacted by major natural disasters like the 1886 Charleston earthquake and the 1893 Sea Islands hurricane, which destroyed crops, property, and killed many people.

Question 1Your power plant on Gilligans Island is producing too m.docxmakdul
Question 1Your power plant on Gilligan's Island is producing too much air pollution. You have three choices for dealing with this problem.1. You can pay a pollution tax (one time) of $10m immediately.2. You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland. That will cost you $1m at the end of this year, $3m at the end of next year (construction costs) and then $.05m forever after that for maintenance.3. You can retrofit the plant switch scrubbers to reduce the emissions. That will cost $9m at the end of this year and $.01m forever after that for maintenance.Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at your Gilligan's Island plant and assume your cost of capital (WACC) is 10%. Which alternative world you choose?1 10m2Years01234….Payments01m3m.5m.5m….r=0.5=5m0.1Gilligan's Island will run a cable from the mainland for power and shut down the coconut power plant on the Island.

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.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
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.

1. Plight of SC
Farmers
8.5-6—Compare the plight of farmers in South
Carolina with that of farmers throughout the United
States, including the problems of
overproduction, natural disasters, and sharecropping
and encompassing the roles of Ben Tillman, the
Populists, and land-grant colleges.
2. Recap of what’s happening…
• Postwar agriculture depression continues after
the end of Reconstruction
• Sharecroppers & tenant farmers (difference?)
• Cotton dominates the economy, but doesn’t
bring prosperity
• In stead of helping the farmers, Conservatives
passed crop lien laws that allow creditors first
dibbs on the farmer’s crops
4. Dropping Cotton Prices
• SC hand picked cotton through the 20th century
• Other regions mechanized cotton harvests, raised supply
• SC had fertilizers that raised cotton yield
• SC competed against foreign markets as well
• Worldwide supply exceeded the demand causing the
price of cotton to fall
• Farmers in the Midwest & South couldn’t make their
payments on loans
• In SC, farmers planted more cotton to make more
profits, but only caused the price of cotton to fall even
more
5. • SC farmers felt the
impact of dropping
cotton prices
through bank
foreclosures, forfeiti
ng their land for
non-payment of
taxes, droughts &
pest that led to crop
failure

6. Populist Movement Recapped
• Appealed to suffering small farmers in mill
workers
• Farmers organized the first Grange (a social
organization designed to alleviate the isolation
of farm life)
• In the Midwest it evolved into a political
organization
• SC- 1800s: White Farmer’s Alliances & Black
Farmer’s Alliances
• By 1890s alliances united to form the Populist
Party
7. Populist Party
• Supported :
– Regulation of railroads & banking
– Free unlimited coinage of silver
– A system of federal farm loans
– Advocated for democratic reforms:
• Popular election of Senators
• Secret ballot
• Graduated income tax
• 8 hour work day
• Immigration restrictions
SC did not form a separate party, but worked to control
the Democratic Party
Tillmanites in SC
8. • Tillman supported Clemson as an agricultural
college
• Opposed elitism of the University of South
Carolina
• Tillman advocated the establishment of
educational facilities for farmers to teach them
better crop management and to develop new
crops to increase their economic prosperity
• Clemson was a “land grant college”
• Both colleges encouraged diversification of crops
10. Earthquake of 1886
• Epicenter near
Summerville, SC
• Destruction more
graphic in the city of
Charleston rather than
the agricultural
countryside
• Largest, most
destructive, costly, &
lethal earthquake east of
the Mississippi
• City’s response to the
disaster revolutionized &
modernized practices in
construction, disaster
prep/response, &
scientific study that
continues even today
11. Sea Island Hurricane-1893
• Sea Islands were the home to the
Gullah People
• Wiped out rice fields &
consumption from the Far East
ended the production of “Carolina
Gold”
• Lowcountry farmers turned to truck
gardening supplying local stores
• Tobacco was introduced as a cash
crop in the Pee Dee region, but
nowhere else in SC
• Some Upstate farmers planted
peach trees, but continued to grow
cotton into the 20th century
12. Sea Islands Hurricane n August 1893 a major hurricane, known as the "Sea Islands Hurricane" struck the offshore
barrier islands of Georgia and South Carolina. Over 1,000 people were killed (mostly by drowning); and 30,000 or
more were left homeless as nearly every building along the barrier islands was damaged beyond repair. After the
disaster, a 10-month relief effort was run by the American Red Cross.
from Scribner's Magazine, February 1894
The year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-three will long be remembered as the year of storms.
Inland gales rose and blew furiously southward. Cyclones rushed out of the tropics and raged northward.
Hurricanes plunged through the Mexican Gulf and shook the southern region. Tornadoes crashed along
the Atlantic coast, carrying death and destruction with them. The memory of the oldest inhabitant fails
him when he tries to recall such another year of storms. The records show no parallel to it. And the
storms themselves have wrought unprecedented destruction to life and property.
A storm in the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts is no new experience to the people who live near the
danger line of the sea, nor even to the people who live far inland. It is a part of the climate. It belongs to
expectation.
"The August hurricane was not unexpected. In fact it had been heralded, and for at least three days
before it made its appearance warnings had been given."
These elemental disturbances are confined to no particular area, as the oldest inhabitant will tell you.
Their feeding-grounds are in the tropical seas, the treacherous West Indian waters - but when they gather
strength and gain bulk, they rush madly forth, describing vast circles, or tearing straight ahead until they
exhaust themselves. They sweep along the coasts, or go raging inland, sometimes in the shape of a
whirling cyclone, and sometimes in the shape of a roaring hurricane. And the effects of them are felt
hundreds of miles in all directions, even when they fail to break across the coast-line barriers; for the
inland winds that are roguishly playing rock-a-bye baby in the tree-tops are keen for a frolic, and no
sooner do they feel that preparations for one are going forward in the tropics than they hurry to join and
feed the monstrous riot of the elements. And so wildly do they rush and tear along in their haste to
become part of the whirl and swirl in the tropics, that trees and houses fall before them. This sweep of the
inland winds to the central disturbance, or to the mad vacuum behind it, is usually described as a
storm, but the frolicsome gales that form it are merely feeders of the real storm.
