Webinar - Should You Upgrade to Adobe Creative Cloud? - 2017-02-23TechSoup
Visit http://www.techsoup.org for donated technology for nonprofits and public libraries!
If you're developing or designing websites, laying out graphics and print collateral, or editing images or videos, or you may have hit the proverbial wall in how much you can accomplish with consumer-grade tools.
Perhaps you've used individual applications like Adobe's Acrobat or Photoshop in the past and want access to the full platform of applications. Maybe you're using an older installed version of Adobe's Creative Suite and you're wondering whether it's time to upgrade.
This free, hour-long webinar with TechSoup's novice-turned-pro-designer Wes Holing will:
Walk through the different applications included in Adobe's Creative Cloud and cover the best uses for each of the main apps.
Highlight some key features that make them stand out from the crowd of free-but-limited tools.
Help you determine whether you can accomplish what you need with what you're already using or if jumping into the cloud will help you better meet your organization's mission.
Point you to free courses to learn how to design better and learn the basics of some Adobe CC applications.
This webinar is best suited to nonprofit, library, and house of worship staff in the United States who have some basic experience with design, layout, or video tools and want to learn more.
The Shape of Things to Come: Learning in 3DKaren Bosch

Need help designing beautiful but simple print collateral for your nonprofit or library? Save-the-date postcards, bookmarks, and double-sided event invitations are a great place to begin and Adobe's InDesign is the most popular tool to use among printers and designers.
Watch Wes Holing, one of TechSoup's in-house graphic designers (who learned the trade from trial and error), to go step-by-step through designing a double-sided invitation postcard for your organization in this free, 75-minute webinar.
We share a basic sample you can use to start, even if you have no design experience at all, and walk through customizing it for your needs, sharing best practices for working with professional designers and print shops along the way.
We demonstrate using InDesign as part of Adobe Creative Cloud, but many of the design tips, steps, and principles are relevant if you have InDesign as a standalone product or as part of Adobe's Creative Suite.
Also, U.S.-based organizations can participate in our #CelebrateAdobeCC contest for a chance to win $1,000 or other prizes from August 15 through October 15 by submitting your collateral designed using Adobe products. Learn more at www.techsoup.org!

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.
