This document discusses how to locate features on topographic maps using grid references and area references. It explains that topographic maps use a grid system of eastings and northings to precisely locate points, while area references specify the grid square that a feature falls within using the coordinates of the bottom left corner. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to determine both 6-figure grid references and 4-figure area references. Interactive exercises are also included to allow practice of these skills.

This Presentation is to made concepts about measuring the earth (to locate position of any person on the whole earth). For this purpose we re going step by step basis in this presentation.These steps are mentioned as contents. After that you may able to learn about measuring a person's position of earth. Thank you!
Digitizing in GIS is the process of converting geographic data either from a hardcopy or a scanned image into vector data by tracing the features. During the digitzing process, features from the traced map or image are captured as coordinates in either point, line, or polygon format
Location. Location. Location. With so many maps and datums out there, how does a person know what datum is correct? How come my GPS coordinates don\'t match up on my map? Why is there a shift of 100 metres? How do I transform between different datums? What is a datum? What is the EPSG? Why have GIS Vendors and Oracle adopted them? Does offshore or onshore make a difference? How come there are so many datums? This presentation looks to provide some answers to some of these questions and to point out that latitude and longitude are not absolute.
Over the decades that surveyors have been trying to map the Earth, history and politics have shaped the way we see the world. Are the borders actually there? What if one nation adopts a standard, but the other does not? Does really matter what the co-ordinate system is? Why when I draw the a UTM Projection, the lines are curved, not in a grid? Is the OGC adopting these standards? So many questions and this presentation aims to answer some of them and provide some light on a complicated and sometimes unclear topic.
Map is a drawn or printed representation of the physical features of the Earth.
It is the best tool to show, understand and analyse the features of an area. Cartography is the art and science of making maps. This module highlights many information on maps, types and their uses.

2018 GIS in Development: Grass GIS Striking Terrain Visualizations in the Roc...GIS in the Rockies
For 33 years GRASS GIS has offered open source tools for geospatial analysis, visualization, and processing. With its roots in raster analysis, GRASS GIS has always provided a wide array of robust classic terrain analysis tools such as slope, aspect and shaded relief imagery. Recently contributed GRASS Add-on programs such as r.skyview extend GRASS’s already highly capable terrain visualization capabilities. This module calculates the sky view factor (SKF; Zaksek et al., 2011) of the surrounding terrain at a given location with terrain shading based on the amount of sky visible at that location. The module is capable of multi-directional analysis resulting in striking terrain visualizations that enhance the definition of subtle terrain features and highlight from light to dark the degree to which the terrain is open to the surrounding landscape. Although this module is computationally expensive, its results offer the potential to improve error detection in LiDAR DEM production as well as serve as inputs to slope based sustainable land and zoning code development. This presentation will demonstrate the functionality of r.skyview through a tour of LiDAR-derived terrain visualization in areas from Ft. Collins, Colorado to the Southern Rockies Organ Mountains of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

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.

2. Grid & Area References
• It can be difficult to find places or features easily on a map.
• So far we have learnt that to find places on a street
directory we use an alpha-numeric grid (e.g. B7)
• We also know that to find places on a larger scale, such as
a world map we use Latitude & Longitude coordinates to
help us find what we are looking for.
4. So how do we locate features on a
Topographic map?
• http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/north_west/7824895.stm
• This BBC link details the importance of Grid References
for emergency services to reach rural areas.
• We can locate places easily on a topographic map by
using the maps gridlines.
• On a topographic map the vertical ( )lines are
called eastings because they increase in value as we
move eastward.
• The horizontal ( ) lines are called northings
because they increase in value as we move northwards.
6. Area Reference
• Features such as a small lake, quarry or village are
usually located by means of an Area Reference
(AR)
• To find the (AR) of a feature we use the coordinate
in the lower left-hand corner of the grid square in
which the feature is located.
• You always read the easting first then the northing.
(hint to remember E comes before N in the
alphabet)
• An area reference always has 4 figures
• Into the house and up the stairs” may help you

13. Grid References
• We can locate relatively small and more specific features
on map by using Grid Reference (GR).
• (GR) locates the exact point on the grid.
• Unlike (AR), Grid Reference uses 6 figures.
-The first two numbers of each coordinate refers to the eastings and
northings that surround the map.
- The third number needed to complete each coordinate is obtained by
dividing each easting and northing into tenths.
Example: GR335638
easting northing
Dividing the easting and northing into
tenths
