Dred Scott was an enslaved man who sued for his freedom after living on free land, but the Supreme Court ruled against him in the Dred Scott decision. Many abolitionists worked to end slavery through newspapers, speeches, and the Underground Railroad network, which helped enslaved people escape to freedom. John Brown attempted to arm enslaved people to fight for their freedom but was caught and hanged. Women like Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott also fought to end slavery and promote women's rights.

What is the definition of Liberty to African-Americans in the different ages?
At the beginning of history of slaves in the United States, “the North American continent was first colonized by Europeans, the land was vast, the work was harsh, and there was a severe shortage of labor. Men and women were needed to work the land” (civilwar.org). So, in African-Americans’ minds, liberty meant running away from the unjust treatment of slavery which included terrible conditions of living, punishment through physical suffering, the separation of families, being sold as items, disallowance of education, and the enforcement that asked black women to get pregnant in order to get more slaves.However, in the course of time, African-Americans got the rights and opportunities of American citizens,. So, African-Americans changed their minds of definition of liberty in three main different ages from the beginning of slavery to the ending of slavery in the United States.
In 1775, a proclamation was made that changed the way African-Americans thought about liberty. For years when America was a part of the British colonies, slavery was the most popular trend that allowed colonists to increased their production of tobacco. Colonies bought slaves from the slave market, and the slaves were just considered as working machines. There was a group of slaves that tried to dig tunnels to run away from being slaves. However, they were either caught by their owners, or caught by other whites. By 1775, hundreds of protesters and rebellions occupied the streets of Virginia. The colony was out of the control of the royal governor John Murray. On 7th November, 1775, dated on board the ship William, off Norfolk, John Murray made a proclamation which promised blacks their freedom in exchange for service in the British army. The proclamation was called the Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation. The proclamation “offered the first large-scale emancipation of slave and servant labor in the history of colonial British America”(Johnson “Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation on Slave Emancipation (1775)”). At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, George Washington rejected black recruits, but after the Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation he changed his mind. The creation of this proclamation showed the nation that Americans no longer believed that “blacks were just slaves”, and it fulfilled Americans’ core value of liberty. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was made. According to General Colin Powell, “The Declaration of Independence, I think, is one of the most remarkable documents in the world...’Inalienable rights’...’Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’...’We hold these truths to be self-evident’...[But] it didn’t apply to black folks. Thomas Jefferson kept slaves. But Thomas Jefferson nevertheless wrote these marvelous words, and he understood the inconsistency...”(“Revolution”). Although Americans slightly changed their sight on ...

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
