Water pollution is an appalling problem, powerful enough to lead the world on a path of destruction. Water is an easy solvent, enabling most pollutants to dissolve in it easily and contaminate it. The most basic effect of water pollution is directly suffered by the organisms and vegetation that survive in water, including amphibians. On a human level, several people die each day due to consumption of polluted and infected water.
Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and, in almost all cases the effect is damaging either to individual species and populations, but also to the natural biological communities.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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”.
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.

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.

2. AGRICULTURE WATER POLLUTION
➢“Any Undesirable Change In Physical,
Chemical, Biological Quality Of Water
Due To Agriculture Sources”
➢It Is Detrimental To Human And
Agriculture Too
➢Acc. To FAO 58% Of All Water Pollution
Is Alone From Agriculture
3. AGRICULTURE AS A CAUSE
➢It Is A Cause Through Its Discharge Of Pollutants And Sediment To
Surface And/Or Groundwater, Through Net Loss Of Soil By Poor
Agricultural Practices, And Through Salinization And Waterlogging Of
Irrigated Land
4. SOURCES OF AGRICULTURE WATER
POLLUTION
❑Point Source
From A Single Discharge Point
❑Non Point Source
To More Diffuse, Landscape-level Causes
5. ❑ POINT SOURCES
• Refers To Contaminants That Enter A Waterway From A Single,
Identifiable Source, Such As A Pipe Or Ditch
• A Way To Remember What Point Source Pollution Is That You Can
Point To Where The Pollution Came From
6. NON POINT SOURCES
➢Arises From A Broad Group Of Human Activities For Which The Pollutants
Have No Obvious Point Of Entry Into Receiving Watercourses
➢Called As Diffuse Source Of AWP
➢Non-point Source Pollution Is Much More Difficult To Identify, Measure
And Control Than Point Sources
9. PESTICIDE LEACHING
• Occurs when pesticides mix with water and move through the soil,
ultimately contaminating groundwater
• The amount of leaching is correlated with particular soil and pesticide
characteristics and the degree of rainfall and irrigation
10. FERTILIZERS
❑LEACHING, RUNOFF, AND EUTROPHICATION
• The nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) applied to agricultural land (via
synthetic fertilizers, composts, manures, biosolids, etc.) Can provide
valuable plant nutrients
• Excess N supplied by both synthetic fertilizers and organic sources
such as manures can lead to groundwater contamination of nitrate.
11. ➢Nitratecontaminated drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome
➢Together with excess p from these same fertilizer sources, eutrophication
can occur downstream due to excess nutrient supply, leading to anoxic
areas called dead zones
12. ❑ HEAVY METALS
• The major inputs of heavy metals (e.G. Lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury)
into agricultural systems are fertilizers, organic wastes such as manures,
and industrial byproduct wastes
• Some farming techniques, such as irrigation, can lead to accumulation of
selenium (se) that occurs naturally in the soil
• This can result in downstream water reservoirs containing concentrations
of selenium that are toxic to wildlife, livestock, and humans
13. AGRICULTURE IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY
❑TILLAGE/PLOUGHING
✓SEDIMENT/TURBIDITY: Sediments carry phosphorus and pesticides
adsorbed to sediment particles
✓SILTATION of river beds and loss of habitat, spawning ground, etc
14. ❑ FERTILIZING
✓SURFACE WATER
Runoff of nutrients,especially phosphorus,leading to eutrophication causing taste
and odour in public water supply, excess algae growth leading to deoxygenating of
water and fish kills
✓GROUND WATER
Leaching of nitrate to groundwater;excessive levels are a threat to public health.
15. ❑ MANURE SPREADING
✓SURFACE WATER
Carried out as a fertilizer activity; spreading on frozen ground results in high levels of
contamination of receiving waters by pathogens, metals, phosphorus and nitrogen leading to
eutrophication and potential contamination
✓GROUND WATER
Contamination of ground-water, especially by nitrogen
16. ❑ IRRIGATION
✓SURFACE WATER
Runoff of salts leading to salinization of surface waters; runoff of fertilizers and
pesticides to surface waters with ecological damage, bioaccumulation in edible fish
species, etc. High levels of trace elements such as selenium can occur with serious
ecological damage and potential human health impacts.
✓GROUND WATER
Enrichment of groundwater with salts, nutrients
17. PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT
ECOLOGICAL IMPACT
➢Contamination of water supplies primarily by pesticides and fertilizers
➢Disease outbreak
➢Microbiological contamination of food crops
➢Contamination of food crops with toxic chemicals
➢Major decline and extinctions of animal, fish and vegetation species
➢Destruction of major ecosystems
18. SOLUTIONS
➢NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT: Applying fertilizers in the proper
amount, at the right time of year and with the right method can
significantly reduce the potential for pollution.
➢COVER CROPS: Planting certain grasses, grains or clovers can
help keep nutrients out of the water by recycling excess nitrogen and
reducing soil erosion
19. ➢BUFFERS: Planting trees, shrubs and grass around fields, especially those that
border water bodies, can help by absorbing or filtering out nutrients before they
reach a water body
➢CONSERVATION TILLAGE: Reducing how often fields are tilled reduces
erosion and soil compaction, builds soil organic matter, and reduces runoff
➢DRAINAGE WATER MANAGEMENT: Reducing nutrient loadings that drain
from agricultural fields helps prevent degradation of the water in local streams
and lakes
