:-“Mac Flecknoe; or, A satyr upon the True-Blew-Protestant Poet, T.S.” was a lampoon by John Dryden against the poet laureate Thomas Shadwell who superseded him in 1669.
Mac means ‘son of’. So, MacFlecknoe means ‘Son of Flecknoe’, while the word ‘True-Blew’ means an extreme ‘Whig Blue’ which was the colour of the Tories.
Richard Flecknoe (c. 1600 – 1678) was an English dramatist and poet. His works were praised by some critics and derided by others. Why John Dryden used his name to ridicule and satirize Thomas Shadwell, his contemporary and one time friend who later became an enemy, is not clear. Flecknoe was a minor poet having religious inclinations and most of his writings were private writings. So, Dryden calling him ‘the monarch of absolute nonsense’ was similar to Iago’s ‘motive hunting of a motiveless malignity’. Thomas Shadwell was called the ‘son and successor’ of Flecknoe’.

The Gothic Doppelganger
Introduction
The theme of the doppelganger is often presented in sceneries characterized as dark signifying the horrifying environment that is associated with doubles. In Frankenstein 1931 film, Mary Shelley’s becomes the ordained doppelgangers to its creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Poe was captivated with the theme of the doppelgangers. Ligeia, the narrator’s soulmate, in death she incorporates the body and the personality of Rowena, obliterating her as if she never existed at all. Poe central theme suggests that Lageia’s love is more prevailing than death. The doppelganger from Oscar’s novel The Picture of Dorian Grayis Dorian’s and the painting, “the most magical of mirrors. As it had revealed to him his body so that it would reveal to him his soul"(Wilde,& Nevile, 1989).All the three literature are images for protuberant nineteenth-century social fears and anxieties subjective to advancements in science, rules of modesty and atavistic theories. The literature, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe and Frankenstein are appropriately representing human desires and pleasures.
The Picture of Dorian Gray, Ligeia and Frankenstein are introductory works in the Gothic norm of literature. All the three texts continue to engage readers and have enthused numerous adaptations of theater, literature as well as films. The doppelgangers are classic Gothic epitomes. However, they are also perceptible characters that can surpass the pages of each text. Gothic literature offers a conducive platform of criticizing precise social developments through the adoption of symbolic mechanisms for instance doppelganger, to high point the anxieties and deficits of advancement. The exoticism that subsists in these texts also pinnacles the deformities and clampdowns of both doppelganger and their human equivalents. In spite of the dismaying actions of Dorian Gray, Ligeia, and Frankenstein, readers may still be characterized by the empathy towards doppelganger as a result of the encounters, pain as well as suffering they are preordained to stomach. Nonetheless, the readers might also perceive how doppelgangers symbolize something substantial of a past culture and society. Therefore, the listed literature is durable triumphs of Gothic literature with their intense understanding of the weakness of the nineteenth-century humanity.
The main purpose of this research is to examine the significance of doppelganger in Gothic literature. The writing will also discuss what makes doppelgangers still relevant to contemporary Gothic texts. In addition to previous arguments about doppelgangers, I argue that The Picture of Dorian Gray, Ligeia and Frankenstein also embody past standing fears of scientific advancements, decent in addition to the unfamiliar.
The recognizable features of the doppelgangers in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Ligeia and Frankenstein are indebted to ...

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.

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.

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.
2. Origins of the Gothic Novel
Gothic fiction, which is largely known by the subgenre of Gothic horror, is a genre or mode of literature
and film that combines fiction and horror, death, and at times romance. Its origin is attributed to English
author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto "A Gothic Story". The effect of Gothic
fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively
new at the time of Walpole's novel. It originated in England in the second half of the 18th century where,
following Walpole, it was further developed by Clara Reeve, Ann Radcliffe, William Thomas Beckford and
Matthew Lewis. The genre had much success in the 19th century, as witnessed in prose by Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein and the works of Edgar Allan Poe as well as Charles Dickens with his novella, A
Christmas Carol, and in poetry in the work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Lord Byron. Another well
known novel in this genre, dating from the late Victorian era, is Bram Stoker's Dracula. The name Gothic,
which originally referred to the Goths, and then came to mean "German", refers to the medieval buildings,
emulating Gothic architecture, in which many of these stories take place. This extreme form of
romanticism was very popular in England and Germany. The English Gothic novel also led to new novel
types such as the German Schauerroman and the French Roman Noir.

5. Typical Characters of the Gothic Novel
The Gothic hero becomes a sort of archetype as we find that
there is a pattern to his characterization. There is always the
protagonist, usually isolated either voluntarily or involuntarily.
Then there is the villain, who is the epitome of evil, either by
his (usually a man) own fall from grace, or by some implicit
malevolence. TheWanderer, found in many Gothic tales, is
the epitome of isolation as he wanders the earth in perpetual
exile, usually a form of divine punishment.
6. Plots of Gothic Novels
Action in the Gothic novel tends to take place at night, or at least in a
claustrophobic, sunless environment.
ascent (up a mountain high staircase);
descent (into a dungeon, cave, underground chambers or labyrinth) or falling off a
precipice; secret passage; hidden doors;
the pursued maiden and the threat or rape or abduction;
physical decay, skulls, cemeteries, and other images of death; ghosts; revenge;
family curse; blood and gore; torture; the Doppelganger (evil twin or double);
demonic possession; masking/shape-changing; black magic; madness; incest and
other broken sexual taboos.
7. Settings of Gothic Novels
The setting is greatly influential in Gothic novels. It not only
evokes the atmosphere of horror and dread, but also portrays
the deterioration of its world. The decaying, ruined scenery
implies that at one time there was a thriving world. At one
time the abbey, castle, or landscape was something
treasured and appreciated. Now, all that lasts is the decaying
shell of a once thriving dwelling.
