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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. From pollution to pet
overpopulation, animals and the
Earth face more problems today
than ever before. But there is a
bright side. There are many
simple, everyday things we can
all do to help protect
our planet and the
creatures who call
it home.
3. environment
n. 1 the surroundings
or conditions in which a
person, animal, or plant
lives or operates. 2 (the
environment) the
natural world.
6. Water can be polluted (made dirty) by chemicals
(such as pesticides), trash (old fishing lines & nets,
plastic bags, rope, etc.), and other harmful things
like oil.
7. Certain kinds of trash can kill animals that live in
or near the water. So do your part by not throwing
things into river, streams, lakes, and ponds.
8. Animals can also suffer
when water levels get
too low. Saving water
means full rivers, lakes,
and streams for people
and animals.
9. • Turn off water when
you brush your teeth
• Take short
showers
instead of
baths
10. Everything that breathes needs clean air to survive.
Dirty air is bad for people and animals. Most air
pollution comes from cars and trucks.
11. •Walk or ride a bicycle to school instead of
traveling in a car (*Always travel in
groups)
•Carpool with friends when traveling places
12. Many wild animals live in trees (birds, squirrels,
etc.). Many trees are destroyed each year. We
need to protect the trees.
13. • Plant a tree
• DO NOT peel tree bark or break
branches
• Carry your lunch to school in a
re-usable lunch box
• Write on both sides of paper
• Use a sponge instead of paper
towels to clean up spills
15. •Tropical Forests have
a warm, humid climate
(leopards, iguanas, & parrots live here).
•Grasslands are flat,
open lands
(African elephants, Indian rhinos,
& giraffes live here).
16. •Mountains (highlands) --
(bighorn sheep, eagles,
& mountain goats live
here).
•Deserts are hot, dry
regions (camels, snakes,
& bobcats live here).
17. •Polar regions have extremely cold climates (polar bears,
artic foxes, & penguins live here).
•Oceans (sea water) -- (whales, dolphins, & fish live here).
18. Today there is less land
available for animal’s
homes. We need to
protect the land so
animals have a place to
live. One way of saving
land is to use as little of it
as possible for landfills
(the places where we
throw away our garbage).
19. •Recycle aluminum cans,
glass jars, plastic bottles, &
paper products (start a
recycling program for your
school/neighborhood)
•Give your old
clothes and toys to
a hospital or
charity (Goodwill)
to be passed on to
someone else
•Motor oil needs
to be properly
disposed of, not
dumped down the
drain where it
makes its way into
oceans, rivers,
streams, etc.
20. We use many kinds of
chemicals every day.
Chemicals can be found in
household cleaners, air
fresheners, paint, glue,
batteries, and insect sprays.
Some of those chemicals
are harmful to the health of
people and animals. They
can be bad for the air we
breathe and the water we
drink.
21. • DO NOT buy foods or drinks that
come in Styrofoam cups (it takes 50
years for these to disintegrate).
• DO NOT use aerosol products (i.e.
deodorants, hair sprays, air freshener,
etc.), which spray chemicals into the
air. Instead use roll on deodorants,
pump hairsprays, and for fresh air use
potpourri, scented candles, or open
windows.
22. •Paper Towels 2-4 weeks
•Orange or Banana Peel 2-5 weeks
•Newspaper 6 weeks
•Apple Core 2 months
•Waxed milk carton 3 months
•Rope 1 year
•Hot Dog 1 year
•Plastic Bag 10-20 years
23. •Magazines 40 years
•Nylon Fabric 30-40 years
•Leather 50 years
•Rubber Boot 50-80 years
•Aluminum Can 80-200 years
•Disposable Diapers 450 years
•Plastic Bottle 450 years
•Glass Bottle 500 -
1
million years
24. Energy is the ability to make heat or motion. Energy
warms our homes and gives us light. It makes cars, air
conditioners, and other machines work. Sometimes when
we use energy we create pollution. So the less energy
we use, the less pollution there will be.
25. •Turn off lights when you
leave a room
•Make sure the TV is off
when no one is watching it
•Instead of using the heater
in the winter, wear warmer
clothes and put extra
blankets on the bed at night
26. •Use the air conditioner and
heater as little as possible
•Manually sharpen pencils
instead of using an electric
sharpener
•Use re-chargeable batteries
instead of throwing them
away
27. There is too much trash!
Many things that are made
out of paper & plastic are
thrown out after being
used only once. It takes
hundreds of years for
plastic to break down in
the soil.
28. •Eat with re-usable forks, spoons, and
knives instead of plastic ones that get
thrown out
•Buy recyclable cans instead of plastic
juice boxes
•Use canvas bags when shopping so
you do not have to use paper or plastic
bags (i.e. Trader Joes)
29. You can help animals by keeping the
environment clean. If you love animals
there are many things that you can do
to help them.
Most importantly, have your pets
spayed/neutered to prevent them from
having babies (there are many more
pets than there are homes for them).
If you are looking to adopt a new pet,
visit your local animal shelter or
humane society instead of buying a
pet from a pet store or breeder.
30. •Do not keep wild animals as
pets (they have a role to play
in nature)
•Be kind to wildlife by letting
them live unharmed
•Put up a house or feeder for
outdoor birds
31. •Do not ask your parents for baby
chicks or bunnies for Easter or
Christmas (many of them end up
at shelters when people can no
longer care for them. They may
start out as small, fluffy tiny
creatures, but they grow up and
they still need all of the love and
attention that you gave them
when they were babies.)
32. •If you find a baby bird on the ground or
a nest of bunnies in the grass – LEAVE
THEM ALONE! In most cases, baby
wild animals have not been abandoned.
Their mother is probably close by
waiting for you to leave. If you think an
animal really needs help, tell an adult
and they can call your local animal
control agency or wildlife specialist.
33. DO NOT throw garbage on the ground
or into the water. Use trash cans and
recycling bins. Animals do not wear
shoes. They walk barefoot. When
people throw litter on the ground,
animals can get hurt. Their feet can
get cut on sharp cans or broken glass.
If they live in the wild or are homeless
they may not receive the vet care they
need and can die from that cut.
34. Balloons are another item that can kill
wildlife. When they pop and end up in
the ocean, curious critters may
swallow them and this can lead to an
internal blockage (this happens a lot
with sea lions that mistake popped
balloons for jellyfish).
Keep poisonous products out of the
reach of pets (i.e. antifreeze – pets are
attracted to its sweet smell and taste,
but even a small amount can be
deadly).
35. So remember we need to take care of our
environment. Talk to other people about
being kind to animals and one another
and about what you learned today.
