The document discusses images selected and rejected for use in a music magazine. Several images were rejected for the front cover due to issues like poor posing, facial expressions not matching the theme, or low quality from lighting issues. One image was accepted for the front cover because the model's positioning and eye contact conveyed the right message. Images were also rejected for the content page for similar reasons, like subjects not facing the camera. One image was accepted for the content page because it fit the criteria of presenting a sophisticated artist. An image was accepted for the double page spread because the model's facial expressions matched details in the accompanying interview text.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

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

fully open. So therefore I rejected this image
for my front cover.

picture so on the basis of that particular reason
I decided to reject this image for my front
cover.

music magazines front cover. After close
analysis I decided to reject this image due to

looks like he’s in pain, moreover his facial
expressions does not link in with the idea I
have in mind on how I want the front cover to
look like. So for that particular reason I
rejected this image for my front cover.
This image was taken for the purpose of my
music magazines front cover. After close
analysis I decided to reject this image due to
the fact that firstly the image came out really
dark and it could be adjusted via various
Photoshop contrast tools however it would
have decreased the quality and therefore
made my front cover look less professional. So

image.
5. This image was taken for the purpose of my
music magazines front cover. After close
analysis I decided to reject this image due to
the fact that it does not link in with the
features I would like to mention on my front
cover, although I love how the image has come

magazines front cover. After close analysis I decided to
accept this image due to the fact that his positioning and
facial expressions have a high correlation with the features
mentioned in my front cover, additionally he is making
direct eye contact with the audience which suggests he has
something to hide or a negative past. Furthermore he is
folding his arms which reinforces the fact that he’s a artist
and has power and authority. For these particular reasons I
decided accept and use this image for my front cover.

7. This image was taken for the purpose of my
music magazines content page. After close
analysis I decided to reject this image due to
the fact that you can clearly see that the
model was not ready at the time of taking
the picture as he is not facing towards the
camera and his lips are gone inside his
mouth. For these particular reasons I have
decided to reject this image.
This image was taken for the purpose of my
music magazines content page. After close
analysis I decided to reject this image due to
the fact that again the model is not facing
towards the camera and the sun and the
flash light of the camera has given a bad
effect which editing that would take some
time. For these particular reasons I have
decided to reject this image.
8. This image was taken for the purpose of
my music magazines content page. After
close analysis I decided to reject this
image due to the fact that the positioning
and facial expressions do not meet my
contents page criteria. For that particular
reason I have decided to reject this image
for my content page.
This image was taken for the purpose of
my music magazines content page. After
close analysis I decided to reject this
image due to the fact that the style of this
image which consists of a top angle shot
has been used for my front cover so
therefore using the same style again would
not be suitable. So for this particular
reason I have decided to reject this image.
9. This image was taken for the purpose of my music magazines content page. After close analysis I decided to
accept and use this image due to the fact that it meets the criteria I have in mind. Moreover, it links in with my
whole magazine as it presents a sophisticated and dark background artist, this image consists of my model
facing upwards towards the sky which reinforces the fact that he believes in god and that he is a humble
person. Furthermore his hands are in his pocket and a low angle shot is taken to represent sophistication and
that he potentially plays a role of a bread winner for his family. For these particular reasons I have chosen this
image for my content page.
11. This image was for taken for the purpose of my double page spread and for the first attempt of taking the
picture I was extremely pleased with the image as it met my personal criteria of attempting to link in with
the contents and text mentioned in the interview which would be stated on the right hand side of this
image. Additionally his facial expressions are appropriate for my double page spread as at one point it
speaks about his mother which passed away and which changed his life dramatically. Additionally I also find
his clothing appropriate due to the fact that it represents his cleanliness.
