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.

3. Cover image
The front cover consist of a photographic close up image of my
the artist, it is normally positioned at the center of the page,
though I positioned my artist on the left side of the page so that I
could easily present text clearly and easily readable. It covers the
majority of it, acting as the back ground but also it instantly gives
the reader some insight about the main artist.
The contrast of the image has been increased which makes
enhances the light’s reflection, creating a more bright and
luxurious image, by doing this makes the cover look less dull
The artist is wearing a slightly dark blue hoodie which was used to
help indicate to the reader the magazine’s genre of music, the
color of the hoodie was of a brighter color than the background
to ensure that the artist would stand out, since the image of the
artist is the main focal point of a magazine cover, it needs to be
ensured that the artist is easily noticeable. The artist is also
wearing head phones, this gimmick/prop is to further indicate
that that this is a music magazine,
The artist is making direct contact with the camera to follow
magazine conventions but also to help catch the readers attention
by creating a connection and thus making the reader interested
and motivated to read the magazine. The facial expression of the
reader is intimidating giving a serious feeling to the magazine.
4. Masthead
The font of the Masthead is of a large font size that fills the top section of the page, it is the
largest text size present on the page, to make it easily and instantly noticeable
The masthead is unique due to the font, it need to be unique so that it stands out from the
other magazine brands, the font is of Tipo Capital1 St, It consist of an enlarged first letter,
which is of a larger size than the rest of the text, there are lines at the top and bottom of the
text, this is to help the text stand out more
The Masthead is of a modern style, the definition is merged, joined or united which signifies
the different styles of rap music
The Masthead is of a color white, it is a bright color so that it stands out from the dark
background, making it easily readable
5. Strap line
The strapline is located at the top of the magazine cover, above the masthead, it is
used to summarize what the brand stands for , it is short (preferably around five
words) so that it is easily remembered.
The strapline is colored white so that it stands out from the dark background, I used
a superlatives such as “special” and “Best” to peak the interest of the reader and
persuade the reader to read the magazine.
6. Cover lines
The cover lines are positioned and are aligned on the right
side of the magazine where the text can be seen with ease,
by doing this the reader is able to appreciate the image of
the artist as well as read the cover lines clearly.
Since the magazine is a rap magazine the artists featured are
only rap artists
The name of the artists are slightly of a larger text size than
the other cover lines, this is so that it stands out from the
other content on the page and catch the attention of the
reader. The names listed are names of famous and well
known artists, this is to help gain a wider audience, with
each of the names listed having their own fan base, this
ensures that the magazines reaches its full potential of loyal
customers buying the magazine just to stay up to date with
the latest news of their favorite artist.
7. Headline
The headline on the front cover is the name of
my artist, it is the second largest font on the
page and is positioned near the bottom, the
headline helps to pre select the audience
through the recognition of the character, it also
makes the character more memorable.
It is colored in red so that it stands out from the
other content, the text has a stroke line as well
out more as well as a white drop down shadow
to make the headline stand out and look more
aesthetically pleasing. The headline’s purpose is
to attract and quickly draw the readers attention
to the main story, so it is important that it stands
out form the rest of the content.
A quote form the artist is below the headline,
this is to help inform the reader of what the
main story will be about, in this case the
quote briefly indicates that the main story
will be about an event of major significance.
The quote is to help attract the readers
attention and make them interested in
finding out more about the featured artist.
The quote is colored white so that it stands
out form the background with ease, making
it easily noticeable as well as easily readable.
8. Selling line
The selling line is a description of the titles main marketing point, it gives
insight to what the magazine Is going to be about. This strapline talks about
the struggles the artist is facing.
The selling line is colored white to ensure that it is easily readable but also it
is a simple but affective color scheme, the selling line is underlined, as a
unique aspect to help catch the readers attention. The size of the text is one
of the largest on the page, to ensure that the.
9.
10. Column layout
The contents page has been split into 2 columns, lots of
content has been presented to ensure good value for
money for the customer.
The column on the left contains the featured contents, lists
of page numbers regarding top news in the rap music
industry, some of the most famous and well known rap
artists are included to ensure that their loyal fans/audience
will buy the magazine to get the latest information. The
page numbers are in uneven proportion so that there would
be room for advertisements and sponsor ship.
The featured columns are in bright colours to stand out
from the dark background, the titles and page numbers are
of a larger text than the description and they are in a red
rectangle so that they stand out more than the description.
The text below the each title and page numbers is the
description, which gives some information to the story.
The column on the right is of a picture of my artist, it has
the page number at the top which directs the reader to the
main story of the magazine. Next to the artist is his quote,
which is used to inspire people.
11. Title and date line
Using the same font as the masthead keeps a visual consistency,
by showing too many different fonts may look unappealing to
the reader. Also just like he masthead , the title is the largest text
on the page, this is to help attract the reader. Both the title and
date line are of white font colour is to ensure that it is readable.
The date is included so that the reader is aware that it is not
outdated and that they are reading the latest news. To ensure
that the reader is able to see the date instantly.
12.
13. Headline
The headline is positioned at the top left of the article, its one of the largest text on
the page. It is in a black rectangle to add contrast and make the text look attractive
and easily readable.
The fonts used are the same as the fonts on the front cover to keep a visual
consistency, by doing this keeps a simple aesthetical appeal.
The stage name of my artist is presented to make the artist more recognisable, as
well as memorable. The text has a drop down shadow to make it stand out more.
Like the front cover it has a red font to symbolize the rap and serious feel.
14. Pull Quote
The pull up quote is positioned next to the artist, it relates to the
headline and briefly talks about the article which is his “rise to fame”. The
quote is also used to inspire and motivate people to not give up there
dreams. The quote is coloured in white so that it is easily readable and
noticeable from the dark background.
15. Photo-shoot Image
The photo-shoot image covers the whole of the second
page, it is a mid shot. Like the front cover and the contents
page the dark background of the artist is maintained to keep
a visual consistency. The facial expressions of the artist is
quite happy to express the fact that he has accomplished his
dreams which relates to the headline.
17. Front Cover
Like the XX And The Source magazine,
I used the idea of having the photo of
the artist in one side and the cover
lines on the other opposite side, I will
also have the other text at the bottom
of the page, by doing this the reader is
able to read the text clearly and easily
due to how the different colours of
the photograph wont affect the
visibility of the text.
I used the idea of having the
masthead in front of the artist, from
The Source magazine, I like this idea,
due to how you could read the title
clearly without the artist blocking it.
By not mixing text and images, the reader will be able to
appreciate looking at the photograph as well as reading the text.
Like the two magazines I also used red boxes to make some of the
text stand out more.
18. Contents Page
Like the XXL magazine uses the idea of
having the artist on one side of the
page and the features on the other, by
doing this will make it easier to read the
text as well as appreciate the image of
the artist.
The title will be presented at the top, it
will have its own section like the XXL
magazine, like the Masthead it needs to
at the top where it easily seen so that
the reader knows
My artist doesn’t look at the camera,
though this is not conventional, by
doing this will make it look unique. I
have the page number next to my artist
like the second magazine example so
that the reader knows which page the
main story will be.
19. Article
Like both of the article examples, I had
the image of my artist presented on a
full page, and the writing on the other
page. Due to the quantity of text it will
be difficult to read the text, since the
background colours of the image will
affect the visibility of the text.
I decided to have the title of the article
presented, so that the reader has a
brief insight of what the article will be
about. It is located at the top so the
reader will see it instantly as they scroll
through the pages.
