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.

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”.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
3. A.) Introduction to intonation.
Intonation and stress are closely linked. In fact ıt’s
ımpossible to dissociate them. They go hand in hand.
Intonation is about how we say things , rather
than what say , the way the voice rises and falls when
speaking , in other words the music of the language.
Just as words have stressed syllaables , sentences have
regular patterns of stressed word. In addition , the
voice tends to rise , fall or remain flat depending on the
meaning or feeling we want to convey ( surprise , anger
, interest , boredom , gratitude , etc.) Intonation
therefore indicates the mood of the speaker.
4. B.) The two main intonation patterns.
There are two basic patterns of intonation in
English.
Falling Intonation
Rising Intonation
5. In the following examples a
downward arrow indicates a
fall in intonation and an upward
arrow indicates a rise in
intonation .
6. Falling Intonation
The pitch of the voice falls at the end of the
sentence. Falling intonation is the most
common intonation pattern in English.
It is commonly found in statements ,
commands, wh-questions( information
questions) , confirmly question tags and
exclamations.
7. Rising Intonation
The pitch of the voice rises at the end of the
sentence. Rising intonation invites the speaker
to continue talking . It is normally used with
yes/no questions , and question tags that are
real questions.
8. C.) The rules of both types of
intonation.
• Rising Voice at the End of a Question:
If the question is a yes / no question , the
voice rises at the end of a question.
• Do you like living in Portland?
• Have you lived here a long time ago?
• Did you visit your friends last month?
9. • Falling Voice at the End of a Question:
If the question is an information – in other
words , if you are asking a question with
“where , when , which , why , what/ what kind
of ……” and questions with “how” let your
voice fall at the end of a question.
• Where are you going to stay on vocation?
• When did you arrive last night?
• How long have you lived in this country?
10. •Question Tags
• Question Tags are used to either confirm
information or to ask for clarification. The
intonation is different in each case.
• Question Tags to Confirm:
If you think you know something , but would
like to confirm it , let the voice fall in the
question tag.
• You live in Seattle , don’t you?
• This is easy , isn’t it?
11. • Qustion Tags to Ask for Clarification:
When using a question tag to clarify , let the
voice rise to let the listener know that you
expect more information.
• Peter isn’t going to be at the party ,is he?
• You understand your role , don’t you?
• We aren’t expected to finish the report by
Friday , are we?
12. •End of Sentences:
The voice usually falls at the end of
sentences. However , when making a short
statement with a word that is only one syllable
the voice rises to express happiness , shock ,
approval , etc.
• That’s great !
• I’m free!
• I bought a new car.
13. When making a short statement with a word
that is more than one syllable ( multi-syllabic)
the voice falls.
• Mary is happy.
• We’re married.
• They’re exhausted.
14. •Commas:
We also use a specific type of intonation when
using commas in a list . Let’s take a look at an
example:
Peter enjoys playing tennis , swimming , hiking ,
and biking.
In this example , the voice rises after each item
in the list. For the final item , let the voice fall. In
other words , “tennis , swimming , and hiking” all
rise intonation. The final activity “ , biking ,” falls
in intonation.
15. D.) Example Sentences.
• Statements:
Nice to meet you.
I’ ll be back in a minute.
She doesn’t live here anymore.
Dad wants to change his car.
Here is the weather forecast.
We should work together more often.
I’m going for a walk in the park.
16. • Commands:
Write your name here.
Show me what you’ve written.
Leave it on the desk.
Take that picture down.
Throw that out.
Put your books on the table.
Take your hands out of your pockets.
17. • Wh- questions ( requesting information):
Questions beginning with “who , what , why ,
where , when , which and how”
What country do you come from?
Where do you work?
Which of them do you prefer?
When does the shop open?
How many books have you bought?
Which coat is yours?
Whose bag is this ?
18. • Question Tags that are statements requesting
confirmation rather than question:
Not all tag questions are really questions.
Some of them merely ask for confirmation or
invite agreement , in which case we use a
falling tone at the end.
He thinks he’s so clever , doesn’t he?
She’s such a nuisance , isn’t she ?
I failed the test because ı didn’t revise , did ı?
It doesn’ t seem to bother him much , does it?
19. • Exclamations:
How nice of you!
That’s just what ı need!
You don’t say !
What a beautiful voice !
That’ s a surprise !
• Yes / No Questions: Questions that can be
answered by “yes” or “no”.
Do you like your new teacher?
Have you finished already?
May ı borrow your dictionary?
20. • Questions Tags that show uncertainly and
require an answer (real questions)
We’ ve met already , haven’t we?
You like fish , don’t you?
You’ re a new student , aren’t you ?
The view is beautiful , isn’t it ?
