sounds too academic? silly. it's all about playing with words and meanings - puns, parodoxes, oxymorons and others. another masterpiece of humor play from the Nilsens
With Eyes No Longer Blind - the first three chaptersThomas Corfield
When the seven most dangerous poets in the world announce they want to own the place, it befalls Oscar, Lyeia and a baker who makes buns with petrol to do something constructive about it.
Consider a world inhabited with only cats and dogs: a society recognizable as our own, but with its eccentricities being the norm, rather than the exception. A world where the charm of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind In the Willows meets the exotic world of Ian Fleming’s Bond. A world where fluffy just got dangerous. These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable.
The books follow Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a secret agent who believes he's more poet than spy. He finds training brash and clinical, with far too much shouting and not enough singing. But triumphing over villains and thwarting their garish plans isn’t easy when unable to do much more than rhyme one lot of words with another. Nevertheless, he succeeds with the help of the characters he meets and a courage that arises when he believes it cannot.

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.

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.

3. GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO2Ivw2S-BQ
This famous wicked little tale, Should never have been put on sale.
It is a mystery to me, Why loving parents cannot see
That this is actually a book, About a brazen little crook.
Had I the chance I wouldn’t fail, To clap young Goldilocks in jail.
Now just imagine how you’d feel, If you had cooked a lovely meal,
Delicious porridge, steaming hot, Fresh coffee in the coffee-pot,
With maybe toast and marmalade, The table beautifully laid,
One place for you and one for dad, Another for your little lad.
Then dad cries, ‘Golly-gosh! Gee-whizz! ‘Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is!
‘Let’s take a walk along the street ‘Until it’s cool enough to eat.’
He adds, ‘An early morning stroll ‘Is good for people on the whole.
‘It makes your appetite improve‘ It also helps your bowels to move.’
No proper wife would dare to question Such a sensible suggestion,
Above all not at breakfast-time When men are seldom at their prime.
4. No sooner are you down the road, Than Goldilocks, that little toad
That nosey thieving little louse, Comes sneaking in your empty house.
She looks around. She quickly notes Three bowls brim-full of porridge oats.
And while still standing on her feet, She grabs a spoon and starts to eat.
I say again, how would you feel, If you had made this lovely meal
And some delinquent little tot, Broke in and gobbled up the lot?
But wait! That’s not the worst of it! Now comes the most distressing bit.
You are of course a house-proud wife, And all your happy married life
You have collected lovely things, Like gilded cherubs wearing wings,
And furniture by Chippendale, Bought at some famous auction sale.
But your most special valued treasure, The piece that gives you endless
pleasure,
Is one small children’s dining-chair, Elizabethan, very rare.
It is in fact your joy and pride, Passed down to you on grandma’s side.
But Goldilocks, like many freaks, Does not appreciate antiques.
She doesn’t care, she doesn’t mind, And now she plonks her fat behind
Upon this dainty precious chair, And crunch! It busts beyond repair.
5. A nice girl would at once exclaim, ‘Oh dear! Oh heavens! What a shame!’
Not Goldie. She begins to swear. She bellows, ‘What a lousy chair!’
And uses one disgusting word That luckily you’ve never heard.
(I dare not write it, even hint it. Nobody would ever print it.)
You’d think by now this little skunk, Would have the sense to do a bunk.
But no. I very much regret, She hasn’t nearly finished yet.
Deciding she would like a rest, She says, ‘Let’s see which bed is best.’
Upstairs she goes and tries all three. (Here comes the next catastrophe.)
Most educated people choose, To rid themselves of socks and shoes
Before they clamber into bed. But Goldie didn’t give a shred.
Her filthy shoes were thick with grime, And mud and mush and slush and slime.
Worse still, upon the heel of one, Was something that a dog had done.
I say once more, what would you think If all this horrid dirt and stink
Was smeared upon your eiderdown By this revolting little clown?
(The famous story has no clues To show the girl removed her shoes.)
Oh, what a tale of crime on crime! Let’s check it for a second time.
6. Crime One, the prosecution’s case: She breaks and enters someone’s place.
Crime Two: the prosecutor notes: She steals a bowl of porridge oats.
Crime Three: She breaks a precious chair Belonging to the Baby Bear.
Crime Four: She smears each spotless sheet, With filthy messes from her feet.
A judge would say without a blink, ‘Ten years hard labour in the clink!’
But in the book, as you will see, The little beast gets off scot-free,
While tiny children near and far Shout, ‘Goody-good! Hooray! Hurrah!’
‘Poor darling Goldilocks!’ they say, ‘Thank goodness that she got away!’
Myself, I think I’d rather send Young Goldie to a sticky end.
‘Oh daddy!’ cried the Baby Bear, ‘My porridge gone! It isn’t fair!’
‘Then go upstairs,’ the Big Bear said, ‘Your porridge is upon the bed.
‘But as it’s inside mademoiselle, ‘You’ll have to eat her up as well.’

As fast as he could caper;
Went to bed to mend his head,
With vinegar and brown paper.

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jane went up the lane,
To fetch a brand new phone,

And Jill ran quickly home.

Then all he did was moan;
Jane meanwhile had some guile,
Busy choosing her new ringtone!
