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.

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 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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. Process
The tools I used to create the video game are the crop tool. I did this by highlighting the selected areas I do not wish to add
to my piece. I did this for the comet and planet in the back ground. I liked the tool that I used because its quick and simple,
it saved time and made a smooth edge to the comet and planet. To move the images I used the mouse pointer. This made
the work simple and effortless as you simply just clicked on the image you want to move and drag. The reason I choose this
tool is to make the work quick and reasonable to ware they are located. I then used the rotate tool to change the angle of
the image I did this for the comet. The reason I did this is because it made the image look relevant to the setting. I choose
sharp colours because it gave a sharp and attention grabber towards any customers who notice the game. I feel I could
improve the design of the spaceships by making a better edge. I could do this by using the magic wand tool to create a
smoother and sharper image that would stand out to the viewer. I feel It would do a great job of advertising to the viewer
and making them want to buy it. I do feel it could improved by making the space ships appeal more to the audience. I could
of done this by selecting a better design. Overall in my opinion the video game is friendly, mature and will be suitable for all
audiences. I do believe if I had more time I could do a better job. I would do this by making all the designs stand out more
and be bold to grab the viewers attention.
3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final
product?
• I will include similar animations to my final major project, as they
seem to be smooth and also attract the audiences eye. I will also
include similar space ship designs as I feel that they look and move
uniquely compared to other designs, however I will change the
designs a bit as I can see improvements that would drastically
improve the look/design. I will be using hearts to show the gamer if
their about to die or win. I will also add a start screen to let the
gamer know when the game is about to start. I then will add objects
similar to the asteroids, as the the game I'm making is about
destroying or avoiding asteroids. I will also add a score board, so
that the players will be able to compete against each other. I will
add a 2 player mode as well, therefore it will be more fun to play, as
you have your friend to play with. I will also add 2 space ships as
any more will be either too chaotic or messy.
4. Process
The tools I used were the mouse tool, I used this tool quite often as I had to move the images around. This was overall helpful as it
helped me to place the objects/images into the right position. I then used the pencil tool to make the individual pixels of my design,
this was overall boring and time consuming as you have to paint the pixels, however you can overcome this by making the size of the
pencil bigger. I do think it was time consuming as the where abouts of the tools and sizes are confusing. Another tool I used was the
crop tool, the crop tool cut part of the design, therefore you can make your designs more professional and neat. I do think this tool
saved me time as I didn’t have to go back and correct the mistakes I had done. The process in making the box art was finding out
what design I was going to create. I came up with a space ship box cover for my experiments as, I wanted to practice making box art,
as I have never done it before. I then started by looking at existing products, to see what methods would be best at creating my space
ship. An example of the products I looked at was asteroids and missile command. After I got an idea of what design I was going to
create, I started by creating the background. I added stars and planets to background to make it look more real. I then went onto
creating the Xbox banner to make it seem more realistic, I did this by using the pencil tool. After I finished the banner I added a rating
to tell the audience what type of game it will be. I then found an image of a space ship and used it as a template to make my version
of the space ship. I did struggle making the name of the game as I didn’t think about this before hand and I also made the logo, which
was difficult as well as I'm not very good at creating/making logos for video games. I couldn’t add a official barcode as it didn’t fit on
the small video game box art, therefore I made my own using the pencil tool and the mouse tool. I found the tools I used hard to
find, however overall really easy to use. I then exported my box art as a jpeg then uploaded it to blogger.
5. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you include in your
final product?
• I will include the font, I used for the experiments as it stands out to the
audience because it catches their eye. I will also use similar colours as they
also brighten the box art cover. The effect by adding bright colours will
attract the audience because it will catch the customers eyes. I will also
add in similar designs, as I think they fit perfectly in my video game box
art. I will also add in logos to my box art, as its remember able to the
audience and also recognisable as well. I will add similar space
backgrounds to my box art, therefore the audience will know what the
game is about. I will also add in a age rating to tell the audience if its
suitable to children of different ages. I will also add a barcode to my box
art, therefore the audience will be able to buy the game. I then will add a
Xbox banner, therefore the audience will know what plat-form the game
will be for. I will use the same name for my FMP as it has a nice ring to it.
