Minneapolis-St. Paul Chart of the Week | May 23, 2016Carolyn Bates
Average operating expenses and taxes for Class A office space in the Minneapolis CBD jumped 5.8 percent between 2015 and 2016. Post-recession (2012-2013), increases in pass-through expenses were driven by rising operating expenses, in part to fund building renovations and investment. However, this most recent uptick is driven by escalating property taxes, as average taxes per square foot per year jumped from $5.32 to $6.07—a significant 14.0 percent increase. The good news: the bump in taxes is due to healthy and growing office property values while the tax rate remains relatively stable.

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.

• The X rate of growth is a derogatory term referring to the low annual growth rate of the planned economy of India before the liberalisations
of 1991, which stagnated around 3.5% from 1950s to 1980s, while per capita income growth averaged 1.3%.
• The term was coined by Indian economist Raj Krishna.
• It suggests that the low growth rate of India was in a sharp contrast to high growth rates in other Asian countries, especially the East Asian
Tigers, which were also newly independent.This meaning of the term, popularised by Robert McNamara, was used disparagingly and has
connotations that refer to the supposed X outlook of fatalism and contentedness.
• As noted politician and journalist Arun Shourie has pointed out, the so-called "X rate of growth" was a result of socialist policies implemented
by staunch secular governments and had nothing to do with Xism:“because of those very socialist policies that their kind had swallowed and
imposed on the country, our growth was held down to 3-4 per cent, it was dubbed — with much glee — as ‘the X rate of growth”.
• With the rise of social media in India, a parallel term now being used is the Nehruvian rate of growth, as India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal
Nehru, laid the foundations of Nehruvian Socialism which is held responsible for the low growth. Nehru himself was a secular atheist.
