This document discusses the history and techniques of printing. It begins by defining printing as creating identical copies from a single controlling surface through the transfer of ink via pressure. The earliest known printing methods involved woodblock printing in China during the Tang Dynasty. Moveable metal type was also invented in Korea in the 9th century. The document then covers various receptive surfaces used throughout history, including clay tablets, papyrus, bamboo, silk, paper, and parchment. It concludes by discussing the development of the printing press in Europe in the 15th century using moveable metal type, as well as early printed formats like broadsheets.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. agenda 11.3.16
• what is printing? what is a print?
• where is printing inventeD?
• recording things: how do we keep records?
• clay tablets [Sumeria]
• papyrus [Egypt]
• bamboo, silk, paper [China]
• qipu [Andes]
• parchment [Europe]
5. what is "printing"?
• Complex term:
• 1. Creation of a single controlling surface from which
multiples can be generated; the intention is that all resulting
copies are identical (though there may be differences in
practice). Just because it's possible to make multiples
doesn't mean that you are required to.
• 2. When printing, the controlling surface is covered in ink or
some other pigment, and then transferred to a receiving
surface through pressure.
• 3. "Printing" can also refer to the creation of written materials
using moveable type.
6. what is a "print"?
• An image or design impressed or stamped on a support
such as paper or fabric. The term encompasses a wide
range of techniques used to produce multiple versions of
an original design.
• There are many different techniques for printing. Today,
we'll discuss two of them:
• wood block printing
• engraving
7. early printing
• Woodblock printing
• Invented during the Tang Dynasty (618-907)
• Popularized during the Song Dynasty (960-1279)
• Moveable metal invented in Korea during the 9th century; many
extant copies of Korean metal-type printed texts from the 12th and
13th centuries.
• There were also sets of moveable wood type.
13. what else is needed for
printing?
• a receptive surface. The Chinese were technologically
advanced in this way as well.
• Silk makes an excellent receptive surface and was used for
texts and images as well as clothing.
• Paper! Printing on paper dates to the 8th century in China.
• Buddhism, which emphasizes that sacred texts should be
produced in mass quantity, to multiply their blessings and
spread their faith, was a key force in the development of
printing.
• This is why we see paper, print, and Buddhist content joined
together in the earliest extant woodblock printed image in
global history.

28. Paper and Systems of Notation
• rise of paper production in Baghdad late eighth/early ninth
sparks production of books, scholarly activity, development of
libraries
• it also impacts the develop of systems of notation, new ways of
representing human knowledge in various fields
• math (numerals)
• commerce (numerals, coinage, standard accounting
procedures)
• geography (cartography)
• cooking
• music (counter-example of dance notation)
• genealogy
• battle plans

30. qipu or khipu (pronounced KEE-poo): based upon the Quechua word for "knot,"
an unique record-keeping system developed in the Inca Empire.
31. Data is stored in the position of the strings, their
length, and the number, size and position of the knots.
32. The Inca Empire expanded
rapidly in the 15th century.
Thousands of miles of roads
were built across the Empire;
soldiers needed payment;
temples required maintenance.
33. The qipu were stored and
used by “khipucamayuq”—
administrators of the Inca
Empire who used them to
encode census and tax
data.
34. In the West the
technique of printing
from woodblocks on
dates from the early
15th century. Prints of
this kind that have
survived include
religious images and
playing cards. As we
might predict, printing
in Europe was
developed after paper
began to be
manufactured there.

In the background, two men are selecting letters
from a double-type case, which they would
assemble
in a line on a hand-held tray according to the
manuscripts pinned beside them.
In the foreground, the man on the right is inking the
lines of type, while the man on the left removed a
completed page from the hinged frame.
The whole assembly is then slid under the press,
which is forced down by one horizontal pull of the
handle.
Woodcut blocks can be printed in this press at the
same time as text.
