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.

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.

What have you learnt about technologies from the processes of constructing this product?
1. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM
THE PROCESSES OF
CONSTRUCTING THIS
PRODUCT?
BETH PANNIFER
2. THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY
Throughout the process of constructing my product I have learnt
to use a wide range of technologies which have been beneficial
in a variety of ways. These technologies have allowed me to
improve my research, planning, shooting and editing of films.
Without these technologies I would not have had the helpful
platforms to plan, edit and produce any of my coursework.
3. BLOG
At the beginning of the year I was introduce to WordPress and taught how to navigate the blog
site which would form the fundamental foundation of my coursework. This provided me with
the ability to create posts consisting of a variety of media, such as embedding YouTube videos
for my deconstructions and my final film. It also allowed me to present my work in an
appealing and organized fashion to give my blog a personal touch, supplying me with a
platform to present and share my findings clearly and effectively. Although I faced some initial
difficulties with certain elements of the site such as embedding images and the format of the
text, with much practice and regular use I quickly overcame these setbacks.
Due to the time I have spent using the blog site for my coursework I am now extremely
confident and aware of the benefits it provides and am grateful to have been introduced to it
as it has made the process of completing my coursework much simpler and straightforward.
4. WEBSITES
On commencing our research, YouTube and IMDB were very helpful and influential. When
carrying out research YouTube was very effective as it allowed use to find film openings,
however, not all films were online which did cause some inconveniences and was one
downfall of using YouTube. We uploaded our rough cuts and final film onto YouTube which
proved very easy and straightforward but did take quite some time to upload. IMDB,
Internet Movie Database, was also useful for research specifically our deconstructions.
Another new platform we were introduced to was a survey site, ‘Survey Monkey’ which
we used as part of our research regarding favourite genres which formed the groundwork
of our production planning and decisions regarding which film genre to produce. By
sending out links to the survey on social media and through email we were able to collect
over on hundred results.
5. PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
During the production of our product, we used two digital cameras which allowed us to capture each
scene from different angles and perspectives, producing a significant amount of footage. With guidance,
as well as trial and error, we learnt how to operate the cameras by ourselves and were able to even
experiment with our filming as we felt confident in our ability to use them. As we used two cameras of
the same model, Canon HF625, this ensured that settings such as colour, balance, brightness and
contrast were all the same and therefore producing footage from separate cameras but with the same
settings.
Along with the camera we used a voice recorder to record the voice-over for our film opening which was
a new piece of equipment that we had little experience with. Again, through some direction and trial
and error we were able to successfully use the equipment in order to attain the recording we needed. In
production for our preliminary film sequence we did not utilize tripods mostly due to unawareness of
the importance of a steady camera. Since our preliminary we have made a conscious effort to avoid
repeating mistakes such as this, and so took three tripods with us to filming. With two small tripods and
a 7ft jib we were able to create a range of shot angles and movement which greatly contributed to the
quality of our film.
6. EDITING SOFTWARE
Furthermore, during the editing stage we used Serif Movie x6, a software which we also used for the
preliminary task. Subsequently I had a great deal of experience with the software and was able to easily
navigate and utilize the several editing options it provided, it is considerably advanced, offering a great
variation of effects. Some of the key settings we utilized were the speed of clips to create longer shots
that complied with the conventions of our genre as period dramas use many long slow shots. We
discovered new ways to enhance our film with the use transitions and text which we found interesting
to experiment with.
We also had to edit the sound in our film which was a new experience for us as it proved quite
challenging to alter the volume of the music and voice over whilst also making both audible and
avoiding letting one dominate the other to the point that we might lose some of the audio. We sat down
with a focus group consisting of young girls from the age of 16 to 18 as, from our survey results, this was
the largest age percentage. They then gave us feedback, suggesting improvements. Some of these
included removing shots and added other shots which we then edited using the software and proved
very easy to alter.
7. SUMMARY
Since starting the production of my film I have learnt an incredible
amount about new technologies and current media platforms, all of
which have considerably benefitted the success and quality of
production.
