Thanksgiving Day originated from a harvest feast celebrated by the Pilgrims in Plymouth colony in 1621. The Pilgrims held the feast to give thanks for their first successful harvest in the New World after a difficult first winter where many had died. Over the years, the tradition of Americans gathering with family and friends over a feast on the last Thursday of November to give thanks became an important national holiday. Today on Thanksgiving, Americans come together to enjoy traditional foods like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie.

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.

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”.

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.
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.

4. England: Early 1600s
• In the early 1600s, a group of people in England wanted to pray
and worship God in their own way. King James I controlled the
Church of England, and ordered everyone to go to the same type
of church. Anyone who dared to disobey would be sent to jail.
• The group of people who wanted to worship God in their own
way were called the Pilgrims. To escape the rule of King James I
and his church, 100 men, women and children left their
homeland, with their dream of religious freedom. They sailed on
a ship, called the Mayflower—on a pilgrimage to America.

5. The Pilgrims´ Arrival in
America
• The Pilgrims arrived in the town of Plymouth
after their long six-week journey. It was
December 11, 1620. The cold winter had
started. The land was strange to them, and
nothing was familiar.

6. The Pilgrims´ First Year in
America
• The winter was long, cold, and very hard for the Pilgrims.
Luckily, Indians helped by supplying them with seeds and
food, teaching them about their new home, and giving them
the skills needed to survive in a strange, new land.
• The first year in their new home was hard for the Pilgrims.
Many died. With seeds and plants received from the Indians,
the Pilgrims planted crops. The autumn harvest was a good
one. To celebrate their good fortune, the Pilgrims had a feast
of thanksgiving.
A famous Indian called Squanto shows the Pilgrims how to collect
wood and plant seeds.
7. The First Feast of Thanksgiving and the
Holiday Today
• Many foods were cooked for the feast of thanksgiving.
• Captain Miles Standish, the leader of the Pilgrims, invited all of
the Indians who had helped them so much during their first year.
• Everyone had a good day of thanksgiving. The feast lasted for
three days!
• Over the years, the day we now celebrate as Thanksgiving became
an important tradition in the United States—a day of giving
thanks for all that we have.
• In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt made Thanksgiving a
national holiday.
