Ten or twenty years ago, writers, photograhers, and other creative people had physical porfolios of there work that they could show to prospective clients.

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.

Toastmasters was rebranded a couple of years ago. While people that know Toastmasters know it for public speaking, the rebranding showcases the leadership development that has always been there but that has not been so well known.
The educational system within Toastmasters has the better known Communication as well as Leadership tracks
Within the first speech manual, members work on a series of 10 projects or speeches that focus on the basics of public speecking with each project having a different focus.
After completing the first manual and becoming a “Competent Communicator”, members can select from a wide variety of advanced manuals. Each manaul has 5 projects or speeches and the theme include Storytelling, Public Relations, Speaking to Inform, Persuasive Speaking, Technical Presentations, and many more. So it is easy to find a theme that you’d like to work on or develop your skills further.
Within the Competent Leader manual members get credit for taking on roles at club meetings and about 70% of the projects can be completed just by attending meetings and taking on roles. The remaining projects include things like mentoring a new member through their first three speeches and taking part in campaigns or special projects within the club, area, division, or district.
While there are a lot of DTMs within Toastmasters with many new one achieved every year, the majority of members don‘t achieve this award. Wiithin Word Weavera we have one member that has already achieved DTM and two more that should be achieving this in the coming weeks.
Now that you‘ve seen the Communication and Leadership Tracks, you have a better understanding of this picture.
This is Toastmaster view of the world as of July 2011.
In the 2014-15 Toastmaster year, D71 and D59 will be spliting from 2 to 4 districts. This year D59 is being divided into a Northeast and Southwest, with a few key district oficers having two people in preparation for the official split next year.
Members are the focus of most everything that is done at Toastmasters. Members make up Clubs, Clubs make up Areas, Areas form Divisions, Divisions form Districts, and Districts then form Regions.
The World Champion of Public Speaking is determined at the International Convention. Each holds a club contest where the winners advance through series of contests that lead to the Annual Convention usually held in the Summer. There is also a series of contests in the Fall, but this ends at the District level. Next year the Annual Convention is being held in Kuala Lumpur. I highly recommend attending the District 59 Fall Conference being held in Budapest, as it will be one of the last opportunities to meet with Toastmasters from Contental Europe.
When asked why people joined Toastmasters surveys tend to show these reasons why people join Toastmasters.
Toastmasters provides many opportunities for members to mentor and to be mentored. You can use your mentoring experiences in other parts of your life (professionally and in other organizations that you belong to).
Ultimately the number speeches and frequency that you give them is totally up to you, but you have a friendly environment where people want to see you improve and succeed.
