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.
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
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.

2. ∗ Private ownership is where a certain person with a company owns the
business, this means that it does not need to meet the strict Securities and
Exchange Commission filing requirements of public companies.
∗ Advantages – Strict deadlines don’t have to be met, and commission fling
requirements of public companies are not exchanged.
∗ Disadvantages – Viewers opinion is vital when it comes to them
liking/disliking the company. Profits must be constantly being made at all
time to keep the company going.
∗ http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/privatecompany.asp
∗ http://www.globalization101.org/ownership/
Types of ownership: private ownership
3. ∗ From gathered information the popular types of public
service in the UK are the BBC and channel 4. These types of
services are owned and funded by the government.
∗ Advantages – Funding can’t potentially be lost because it is
owned by the government.
∗ Disadvantages – Political leaders closely monitor editorial
output.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_broadcasting
Types of ownership: public service
4. Types of ownership: independent
∗ Independent ownership and private ownership are very similar, the only
difference it that independent was privately owned.
∗ Advantages – You are completely in control on what happens towards the
business. No one can tell you what to do, you’re the business.
∗ Disadvantages – Financial things can be at risk because of being a part of a
private ownership. To start it off you maybe have to borrow money which
basically meaning you can be in debt unless paid off. Another disadvantage
is that you can loose money quite easily if business isn’t that good for a
week for example.

5. ∗ A media conglomerate, media group or media institution is a company that
owns large numbers of companies in various mass media such
as television, radio, publishing, movies, and the Internet. Media
conglomerates strive for policies that facilitate their control of the markets
around the world. An example would be Walt Disney Studios.
∗ Advantages – A big advantage would be the income, this is obvious because
of how many places and businesses you owe the more companies the more
money.
∗ Disadvantages – A major disadvantage would be selling the company,
because its a conglomerate ownership to buy it would cost a lot of money.
∗ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_conglomerate
Types of ownership: conglomerate
6. ∗ Horizontal integration simply means a strategy to increase your
market share by taking over a similar company. This take over /
merger / buyout can be done in the same geography or probably
in other countries to increase your reach. Examples of Horizontal
Integration are many and available in plenty. An example of
Horizontal Integration will be You Tube, which was taken over
my Google primarily because it had a strong and loyal user base.
∗ Advantages - Allows for greater control of both prices and costs.
(Better economy of scale). Allows for increased presence in
foreign markets.
∗ Disadvantages - Increases possibilities of anti-trust
prosecution. Poor track record for maintaining innovation.
Types of Companies:
Horizontal Integration
7. ∗ Commercial institutions try to combat the power of the BBC by becoming larger and
creating vertical integration. This is where an institution has shares or owns each part
of the production and distribution process. For example: Warner Bros Entertainment
calls itself a fully integrated broad based entertainment company which owns film
studios and the means to distribute the films as well as some of the cinemas in which
they are shown. Warner Bros in itself is part of an even bigger conglomerate called
Time Warner which is a huge media conglomerate institution which uses horizontal
Integration to consolidate its power and profits.
∗ Advantages – Allows companies to get higher and earn more control in the value
chain, they get more responsibility and higher in the pecking order so therefore they
earn more control over things.
∗ Disadvantages – Vertical integration reduces manufacturing flexibility, lengthening
design time and ability to introduce new products.
Types of Companies:
Vertical Integration
8. ∗ Cross-media convergence is the way that different products are produced and distributed on
different platforms. E.g. the Guardian used to be a purely paper-based media product. Now
it's produced and distributed on iPhone and iPad apps, the website, etc. I'd say cross-media
convergence also applies to marketing strategies whereby products are marketed using
print, web, film, TV-based platforms. An example would be the recently new film, The Great
Gatsby. This film has a soundtrack with popular artists from around the world, also these
songs are also covers from artists as well. This meaning if you hear the song this can relate to
the film. Most important of all the The Great Gatsby is also a book which was made into a
film that now has a popular soundtrack.
∗ Advantages – It helps promote the film/book more giving this the option to get a great
audience. It’s a win win scenario for both industries selling both more books and more box
office tickets.
∗ Disadvantages – Because this is two completely different industries, both companies will
have to do their best to impress and meet the standards of the opposite audience.
Cross Media convergence
9. ∗ Synergy is the term used to describe a situation where different entities
cooperate advantageously for a final outcome. Simply defined. It means that the
whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s the strategy of synchronising and
actively forging connections between directly related areas of entertainment.
∗ Disney is an obvious example of a synergistic company from the top down from
Film Studio to Kids' TV Channel (where it further plays and promotes its films) to
the Disney Store (in the street and online) where your kids can pester you to buy
all the merchandise and DVDs/CDs they've seen on the TV/Web or in the cinema.
∗ Advantages – A clearly obvious advantages for using synergy is that there is more
money for the companies using this method.
∗ Disadvantages – If a product or franchise wasn’t as popular as expected to be
you will end up losing money because of this.
Synergy
10. ∗ Time Warner - Vertical integration is the process by which a media institution - a
media conglomerate - owns several companies at different stages of production
or the supply chain. Warner Bros. is owned by Time Warner, which is a huge
multi-national media conglomerate. The current assets of time warner are all of
the HBO production including HBO films, HBO Sports, HBO Documentary and
much more. Time warner owns The Turner Broadcasting System and from this
company they have many branches of networks which vary. For example Cartoon
Network along with Boomerang as network of this, these are very popular kids
programme networks. Now moving on onto the bigger companies owned by
Time Warner, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc is a part of Time Warner along with
Warner Bros. Picture Group, Warner Bros. Television Group and Warner Bros.
Home Entertainment Group. All these side companies underneath also have
companies owned by the side companies like New line cinema being owned by
Warner Bros. Picture Group.

16. ∗ This is a company that grew extremely fast in little time, that their
management found themselves not being able to keep their operations
and finances under control. Apple Inc. has been forced to reeva luate
and redesign it’s organizational culture and organizational structure to
a void bankruptcy.
∗ The organizational structure of the company has also transformed to be
more competitive in a critical juncture in the company’s history. Apple is
going through major restructuring to regain control of its operations
and finances in order to stay competitive on the global market.
Change in structure
17. ∗ Here is one case study to do with iTunes:
∗ Apple was caught up in controversy regarding the online sales of music in
the European Union where, as a single market, customers are free to purchase
goods and services from any member state. iTunes Stores there forced
consumers and other music buyers to iTunes-only sites by restricting content
purchases to the country from which the customers' payment details originated,
which in turn forced users in some countries to pay higher prices. On December
3, 2004, the British Office of Fair Trading referred the iTunes Music Store to
the European Commission for violation of EU free-trade legislation. Apple
commented that they did not believe they violated EU law, but were restricted by
legal limits to the rights granted to them by the music labels and publishers.
