This document provides a brief history of flight, beginning with early human desires to conquer the skies that motivated experimentation and invention. It discusses legends like Icarus and Pegasus from ancient Greek mythology that captured the human fascination with flight. Early flight technologies are mentioned, including kites and gliders invented by the Chinese as early as the 4th century AD. The document also highlights Leonardo da Vinci's pioneering work designing early flying machines and parachutes in the 15th century, though some credit the first successful parachute test to a later inventor in 1617.
Aviation has helped shaped the world into what we know it as today including ancient myths and legends dealing with flight, the infamous “Wright Flyer”, and the impact jet engines have to the future of aviation.

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.

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.

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

4. BETWEEN HUMAN DESIRE AIR FLIGHT
conquest and economic interests
Besides human desire to discover and conquer new territories and
spaces it was motivated by the practical and material interest in the
individual needs of all mankind or new resources that underpin renovation
but researchers develop new economic activities / business leading to the
degree of technical development today. No one activity is not without
personal motivation first half by each of us want recognition for the effort
and work done. This happened with the human desire to conquer air and
outer space cosiderat after a few thousand years ago an unattainable
dream takes flight passionate people and made them invent the strangest
machines that get up in the air. Today for us to fly human success begins
with the legend of Icarus 1
And today, for us aspired man begins to fly
legend of Icarus ....

6. Ancient writings say that immediately after birth, Pegasus
ascended to heaven. That he was very loyal to Zeus, the supreme
god.Winged horse Pegasus legend says that wherever it struck the
ground using their hooves in that place flowed a small river. One of
these sources is the one from Mount muses, Helicon, Hippocrene
spring that bears his name. The very name can be translated as
"horse spring".
Pegas or winged horse
is one of best knowed
fantastic creature from greek
mythology. Is a beauty winged
horse white coloured and
strong stature. It said that
this wonderful creature is son
of Poseidon and Medusa , and
brother or Chrysaor.

22. Another invention in the flight which is ancient Chinese attribution
glider. If you already kites invented by i.Hr fourth century, by the end of the
sixth century the Chinese had managed to build kites with sufficient size and
aerodynamic enough to support the weight of an average-sized man.
Was only a matter of time
before someone thought to remove kite
strings to see what happens. Known
today as the glider aircraft that have
not been used by ancient Chinese as a
way to raise the level of adrenaline.
Chinese emperors feasted forcing
villains and enemies to jump on rocks
tied to gliders. however one another
and in terms of Chinese flight they took
so little to Europeans before 1335 years
23. Italian scientist Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) - famous architect and
painter, sculptor, engineer, writerer, mathematician and musician is the one who
designed, among other things, plans for a flying machine, like a helicopter
Now more than half a millennium
years, in the early XVI century, when Da Vinci
was already 50, he invented devices, weapons,
machines that prefigured those of modern
times. Renaissance genius made helicopters and
other aircraft with vertical takeoff and glider
ancestor.
24. The famous Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci thought besides
other fantastic machines to a device with which man can fly.
Carefully studying the flight of birds he designed a machine called
“orthoptera”. Had wings it would have to be moved while the
hands and feet of a man actually work impossible. Also glider
designed by Italian genius is the precursor to today's modern
aircraft.
Also glider designed by
the brilliant Italian is the
precursor of today's
modern aircraft.
25. But it is possible parachute
idea was not hers. Historian
Lynn White discovered an
anonymous Italian
manuscript around 1470 that
there are two drawings of
parachutes one of which is
very alike to Leonardo's
sketch. The first successful
test of such a parachute was
made in 1617 in Venice by
Dalmatian inventor Faust
Vrancea. Device was called
Homo Volans (Flying man)
Leonardo da Vinci was considered the first sketch made a parachute,
around 1480, he projecting a parachute shape of a pyramid with a square base,
with whom he said: "If a man has a starched canvas tent widely on each side of
12 cubits and 12 cubits high everything he can to give way to any height without
anything bad happen to them. "
