Missing U.S. Navy History
An Investigation of the Enlisted Ranks Formation

Abstract
Among a small group of people that includes a few naval historians, sailors, and concerned civilians, an awareness of missing information has been growing. Subjects are broken up and facts have been spread out among different sources. Genres of different subjects concerned with the United States Navy are lacking in documentation of past events. There are many topics that could be discussed, but this paper will focus on the development of the U.S. Navy enlisted ranks. This report will piece together the order of events that made the enlisted ranks what they are today.

Missing U.S. Navy History
An Investigation of the Enlisted Ranks Formation
The past is full of tales, some fantasy, some not, and few have any kind of connection to the actual events that inspired the story. Many tales from the past have been twisted by the imagination from many retellings. It is understandable that the lack of literacy has prevented the proper documentation of historical events while they happened and explains the need for oral traditions that have romanticized naval history. Literacy among sailors has increased significantly from the time of sail, but documentation of recent U.S. Navy history is still scarce and what is left can be found among different sources. The present day U.S. Navy has made some subjects mandatory knowledge but lacked interest in preserving the history of many topics for unknown reasons and has caused much information to be brushed away with the sands of time, however, because of the efforts by few civilians to find the lost knowledge, the heritage of U.S. sailors will not be lost. In his article, “The Uses of Maritime History in and for the Navy”, John B. Hattendorf best describes the U.S. Navy’s lack of interest as “an ever-present human tendency to think that all that went before is irrelevant and useless” (Hattendorf, 2003). Displaying the U.S. Navy’s biased interest, information about Chief Petty Officer (E-7) to Admiral is easy to find and can be quoted by many sailors, even the lower ranking ones. From Seaman (E-1) to Petty Officer First Class (E-6), the order of events and the reasoning for them are hard to come by.
The Birth of the Ranking System
The Continental Congress formed the beginning of the U.S. Navy in 1775 with two vessels crewed by eighty men each. Most of the crew members had been sailors before this and most of them served in the British Navy. The new U.S. Navy needed a ranking system, so they adopted the one that they already knew from the British. Since the Br.

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.
