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.

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

FAO Cases studies: Methodology and objectives, by Emilie Vandecandelaere (FAO) (English)
1. FAO Program and Case Studies on
Specific Quality Linked to
Geographical Origin
Emilie Vandecandelaere
"qualité spécifique liée à l'origine“
AGNS
2. Outline
1. Background
– Specific Quality Linked to Geographical Origin
– The program framework
– Objectives of the study
– Partnership
2. Methodology of the case studies
3. Overview of the case studies
4. Quality linked to Geographical Origin
• “Specific quality…”:
• as opposed to “generic quality” (guarantees of the mass market, generally
mandatory, to protect consumers health and allow market to function well)
• characteristics of the products (due to special conditions of production and
trade...) that differentiate it through a label in general
• voluntary participation of operators
• “…Linked to geographical origin”:
• specificities due to the production/process area through local resources:
natural (“terroir”, landscape etc…), and human (culture, traditions, know
how,…)
• increasing demands but recent development for developing countries
Needs for information and support:
• Project GCP/INT/022/FRA to inititiate a programme to address Member countries
needs
• To develop the thematic in connection with the other specific quality schemes
within FAO
5. The program framework
Main objective: to assist Member Countries and stakeholders in
developing develop specific quality linked to geographical origin schemes
that are adapted to their economic, social and cultural situation, contributing
to rural development through the valorisation and preservation of local
products and resources.
Means:
– Collect information on Member countries experiences:
• Regional seminars, expert meeting, networking
• case studies with concrete examples on assets and constraints, success
or failure factors
– Based on this information and analysis, develop supportive tools
– Sensitize and inform stakeholders
6. Information collection
2 Regional Seminars:
The Mediterranean Casablanca, 8-9 November 07:
www.mp-discussion.org/casablanca
Latin America Santiago de Chile, 12-13 December 07
http://208.62.62.50/santiago/
Case studies:
• To collect information on local experiences for different types of
products in various context and geographical areas
• To analyse advantages and constraints, success factors of quality
process linked to geographical origin
• To know the problems and needs at local and institutional levels
• To consider first recommendations
7. Partners
Develop a network of partnerships is both an aim
and a means
• Governement representatives: France, the Mediterranean countries,
Latin American countries, European Commission…
• International and Intergovernmental Organisations: WIPO, ICTSD, IICA,
ORIGIN, FIPA…
• Research and expert networks: CIHEAM, SinerGI, AGRIDEA, INRA,
CIRAD, SIAL, SEEDEV…
• National and local institutions and agencies …
9. Studies Framework
Partnerships
• Latin America: IICA
• Balkans : Agridea, SEEDEV
• The Mediterranean: INRA, NGO Migration and Development
Consultants knowing the local context and
product
Methods:
• Revue of the available information
• Stakeholders interviews (producers, processors, public bodies …)
and focus groups
• Analysis and synthesis
10. Grid of analysis
• Institutional context
• Geographic zone and specific resources
– General context of the geographic area
– Delimitation of production zone / Processing zone
– Local resources, material, immaterial, challenges
• Product and market
– Product qualification process (up grading)
– Specificity and product differentiation, code of practice (= specifications)
– Type of recognition of the specificity / level of reputation
– Markets, current / aimed at (price, volume)
• Stakeholders and collective organisation
– Type of actors involved, their roles and objectives
– Importance of external support (public actors, development/research actors)
– Structure and coordination
– Certification and control devices
– Collective actions
• Analysis of the impacts and synthesis
– Perception by stakeholders
– Economic impacts
– Impact on rural development: - economic and social aspects; - Culture, traditions; -Impact
on the environment
– Costs : Certification, Training, research, Change of practices
– Internal strengths and weaknesses / Opportunities and threats linked to the context
– Success factors, failure factors
– Needs and competences necessary for the actors

18. Conclusion
• Early stages of development:
– what about the managing process?
– very first results on impacts
• Diversity of products:
– lots of non processed one: role of race and variety in
the differentiation
– for export, links to consumers?
• Regional particularities but lots of common
points...
Note: first analysis (operational view, not research as such)...
and for discussion!
