This document provides information about ancient civilizations for students. It begins by defining what a civilization is. It then lists the learning objectives for the lesson, which are to name six ancient civilizations, four Ancient Wonders of the World, put civilizations in order using information, and explain the importance of ancient civilizations today. The document proceeds to provide details about specific ancient civilizations, activities for students to complete involving ordering civilizations by date, length of existence, and population size, and a template for information cards about each civilization.
The document discusses the origins of modernity and examines whether the Renaissance and Reformation periods can be considered the beginning of the modern world. It explores ideas like invented traditions, the role of the individual during the Renaissance, and the rise of humanism as opposed to divine law during the Middle Ages. Big pictures trends in population, energy use, and living standards over the past 250,000 years are presented. The concept of the Anthropocene, or Age of Man, is introduced to describe the unprecedented changes caused by human civilization in recent centuries.
The document discusses human history from the formation of the universe 13 billion years ago to recent inventions like the television. It notes that humans, Homo sapiens, first emerged around 200,000 years ago but did not start farming until approximately 10,000 BCE. For 95% of the time that humans have existed, they have focused on mere survival. The document then asks students to order historical event cards chronologically to understand humanity's relatively short but impactful time on Earth.
Information Technology - The First Two Million Years (2019 Edition)Jamie Stantonian
This the story of how we've have transmitted, stored and processed information since before we were human. Beginning with embodied knowledge, body decoration, language, myth, writing, print and eventually electronic media it explores how each era has dramatically altered the fabric of human society, the nature of consciousness, and ultimately the physical world itself. It spans the period of about 2 million years BC (roughly the discovery of fire) and goes to the late 19th century. The 20th and 21st centuries and the implications for the future will be tackled in an expanded presentation in the near future.
The document is a presentation made by John Abbott, President of The 21st Century Learning Initiative, in British Columbia in April 2013.

Essay On Inventions
Archaeology involves carefully digging up and studying artifacts and remains to piece together clues about past civilizations. Over time, soil erosion and other natural and human processes have buried evidence of ancient human activity deeper underground. By combining small finds with other evidence, archaeologists work to solve the puzzle of past human life, though their work preserves only a fraction of what once existed.
This document provides a timeline overview of major events and developments in human history from the formation of Earth 4.6 billion years ago to around 600 CE. It covers early humans and tool use starting around 2.5 million years ago, the advent of farming around 9000 BCE, early civilizations like ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, advances such as writing from 3400 BCE, and the rise and fall of empires including Persia, Greece, and Rome. The timeline also highlights discoveries and inventions like cave art, metallurgy, and wheeled vehicles throughout prehistory and ancient history.
The document discusses three major philosophies that emerged in China during the Warring States period: Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism. Confucianism taught that society should be based on traditional social hierarchies and that people could improve themselves through education. Daoism advocated living simply and in harmony with nature. Legalism viewed people as inherently selfish and taught that strict laws and punishments were needed to control society. The document provides overview of the key teachings of each philosophy.
The document provides an overview of early human art from the Paleolithic period, beginning around 77,000 BCE. Key points discussed include engraved ochre fragments found at Blombos Cave in South Africa dating to 77,000 BCE, which represent some of the earliest known examples of human artistic expression. Other early art discussed includes cave paintings from Lascaux, France around 15,000-13,000 BCE depicting animals such as bison and horses. The document examines debates around defining art and discusses how archaeological discoveries are continually updating our understanding of early human history and artistic practices.
Archaeology involves carefully digging up and studying artifacts and remains to piece together clues about past civilizations. Over time, soil erosion and other factors cause ground levels to rise, preserving evidence underground that can provide insights if excavated properly. While archaeologists only find a small fraction of available evidence, combining discoveries with previous findings helps them solve the puzzle of past human life and culture.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte WebinarZilliz
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

6. A civilisation is a group of people who work
together to build a society.
They share technology, wealth and experience
with each other.
They work together as a whole to make life as
good as possible for all members of the
civilisation.
The term ancient means that it is something
that occurred a long time ago, way back in
history.
7. This week is all about learning about a range of
ancient civilisations and finding out a little
about them.
9. Look at some of the achievements of these
civilisations
Machu Picchu Aztec Pyramids
Stonehenge Parthenon Pyramids (14th Century)
The
Sphinx and The
The Roman Coliseum
10. Whilst there were many great achievements
from many civilisations, there are 7 that are
considered the best examples.
These were called the seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.
Lets have a look at these in more detail.
11.
12. The Pharos of Alexandria
This was a watchtower / lighthouse that
stood on the island of Pharos. It was
built in 250BC and was made of white
marble. It is estimated to have been
somewhere between 60m to 180m tall.
13. Temple of Ephesus
This was a great white marble temple dedicated to the goddess
Diana. It was built about 480BC.
14. Pyramids of Giza
These were royal tombs built between 3000BC and 1800BC. The biggest
is the great pyramid and is 147m high and 230m square at the base.
15. Hanging Gardens
of Babylon
These were terraced
gardens that were built
near modern day
Bagdad. They were built
around 600BC and was
120m square at the base
and 25m tall. They were
watered by tanks of water
on the top level.
16. Mausoleum of
Halicarnassus
This was a massive white marble tomb
that was built by the widow of an
ancient king. It was built in what is
modern day Turkey. It was built in
353BC and was just over 40m high.
17. Statue of Zeus at Olympia
This was a massive statue of the god Zeus
and was over 12m tall. It was made of
marble, inlaid with ivory and gold.
18. Colossus of Rhodes
This was a massive bronze statue of
the god Apollo . It was built in 280BC
and was about 32m high. It stood
either at the entrance to or astride the
entrance to the port at Rhodes.
19. Only one of these seven still exists today.
Which one?
Question for discussion
I want you to pretend that we are now 1000 years
in the future and a group of school children are
looking at the new 7 wonders of the ‘Old’ World
(today). What 7 things do you think might be
picked to be the best examples of modern
civilisation?
20. Activity One
Look at the set of Top Trump cards you have been given. Find the
line of information that tells you about the date each civilisation
started on. Try to put the civilisations in order starting with the
earliest and finishing with the most modern.
Careful!
You will need to look at the dates on the cards very carefully. Use
the chart below to help you.
3000BC 2000BC 1000BC 0 1000AD
Earliest Modern
21. Activity Two
Look at the set of Top Trump cards you have been given. Find the
line of information that tells you about how long each civilisation was
in existence for. Arrange your cards in order and use them to answer
these questions.
1. How many of the civilisations lasted for more than 1000 Years?
2. Which ancient civilisation existed for the longest amount of
time?
3. Which ancient civilisation existed for the shortest amount of
time?
22. Activity Three
Look at the set of Top Trump cards you have been given. Find the
line of information that tells you about how big civilisations were (the
population). Arrange them in order of size, biggest to smallest.
1. Which civilisation had the biggest population size?
2. Why don’t we know the size of some of the ancient civilisations?
To help you compare the sizes...
… the current population of the U.K is 59,000,000 people
… the current population of the World is 6.92 billion people
The Entire Population of the World in 0AD was only
200,000,000 people.
23. Start Year ~ The approximate date the civilisation was formed.
End Year ~ The approximate date the civilisation stopped.
Length of Time ~ The number of years that the civilisation existed for.
Where ~ The place in the current world where the civilisation was.
Population ~ The maximum size of the civilisation.
All dates and numbers are approximate and estimations based on
historical evidence.

Editor's Notes
These are four different masks made by four different ancient civilisations / cultures. They are: Ancient Chinese Mask (top left), Sutton Hoo (top right), Death Mask of Tutankhamun (left bottom), Aztec Death Mask (right bottom). There are no right or wrong answers to this exercise, just see what the children spot. Due to the size of the images, you may wish to print this slide out.
These are four different pyramids made by four different ancient civilisations / cultures. They are: Ancient Egyptian Pyramid (top left), Aztec Pyramid (top right), Pyramid of the Moon (left bottom), Sudanese Pyramid(right bottom). There are no right or wrong answers to this exercise, just see what the children spot. Due to the size of the images, you may wish to print this slide out. You may wish to ask pupils why this shape was so popular as it ‘pops-up’ in a number of different cultures.
These are four different coins made by four different ancient civilisations / cultures. They are: Ancient Athens Coin (top left), Roman Coin (top right), Solid Gold Aztec Coin (left bottom), Ancient Chinese Coin (right bottom). There are no right or wrong answers to this exercise, just see what the children spot. Due to the size of the images, you may wish to print this slide out. It may be worth pointing out that the idea of money and currency came from the ancient world.
This is just a general information slide to explain the key terms.
This is just a slide that shows some of the more well known groups considered to be an ancient civilisation. Ask pupils if they already know anything about any of these groups (they should at the very least be able to tell you about the Ancient Greeks).
These are just pictures of some of the more magnificent ancient monuments from around the world. It may be nice to tell pupils a little bit about some of them as you show the photographs (particularly Macau Pitchu). It worth stressing to the pupils that these were built often 2000+ years ago. There were no machines to help with lifting, all of the stone would have been cut by hand, all built just on people power. You could ask pupils to estimate how long they think they took to build and how they managed to lift blocks of stone to such great heights. Ask them how, despite being ancient civilisations, there monuments and buildings have survived for so long when modern buildings are often destroyed or fall apart. What does this tell us about the abilities of these ancient civisations?
The only one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world that still exists is the pyramids. It is worth mentioning that the 7 wonders of the world was a list drawn up be the ancient Greeks and so included only those things they knew about and were quite close to them. Lots of others existed at that time – for example Stonehenge. Does this make the list very fair?If you click on the computer icon in the bottom right of the screen, it will take you to the Wikipedia page that is all about Wonders of the World and includes modern day lists of wonders. This could be used either before or after the discussion exercise.
This activity to try to get pupils to have some understanding of the chronology involved in these ancient civilisations. This is the most complicated of the three tasks they will do with these cards (which is why it’s first whilst their fresh). You will have to spend a little time explaining how the dates work and that it is not as simple as the highest date is the most modern civilisation.
This task is designed to show pupils that some ancient civilisations were in existence for a very long time. To help then grasp the time scales involved, you could link it to ‘modern times’ (maybe taking 1066 as the start of modern Britain – approx. 1000 years ago). If time you could talk about how why pupils think that these very powerful civilisations with millions of ‘subjects’ do eventually come to an end. Has anything similar to this happened in recent times (World Wars?) ?
This task is about comparing the civilisations and to give pupils an idea of their size relative to each other. If time it is worth exploring with them a couple of questions: Why don’t we know the estimated sizes if some of the civilisations on the cards?If you click on the computer icon in the bottom right hand corner, this will take you to a chart of the Worlds population at different points in history. You could work out the percentage of the planets population that was said to be part of a given civilisation. Some are very high and show just how important they were in the world at that time.The numbers seem very low compared to modern numbers (almost all civilisations have a population of less than the modern day U.K). They are not so small when compared to the worlds population of that that time.
Having completed the three previous tasks, pupils should now have become familiar with the values written on the different top trump cards. I would suggest that pupils now work in threes or fours and play mini games of top trumps. Pupils can use the values on the cards for Start Year, End Year, Length of Time and Population.Rules of Top Trumps – The cards get shared between the players as evenly as possible. Taking it in turns, the player looks at the card they have on top of their ‘pack’. They pick a value (for example population) and read out the value. All of the other players do the same using the category selected. The person with the highest value then takes all of the cards from the other players (if the value on the card says ‘unknown’ – this counts as 0 for a score). The winner of the game is the player that eventually collects all of the cards from the other players.
