Prince Demah, Portrait Painter - Presented at History Camp 2015 in BostonThe History List
Presented by Paula Bagger, a director of the Hingham Historical Society in Massachusetts, at History Camp 2015 in Boston on March 28, 2015. "Two 18th century portraits that have been on display since the 1920s in the Hingham Historical Society’s house museum, the Old Ordinary, have now been attributed to an enslaved African American artist. Prince Demah‘s short life was eventful and included painting lessons in London, a brief commercial career in Boston, and service in an artillery regiment during the Revolution. The one other known painting by Prince (now in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art) was found in a family collection in Worcester County, and we know that Prince made other portraits, both as a copyist and painting from life. History Camp will be a great place to spread the news about this previously unknown artist: our area’s small museums and historical societies are the logical place to look for more of his works."

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

Dear Mr Levanto
I hope you are enjoying your stay in Singapore. I would like to
invite you to dinner on the evening of Wednesday, April 9,
after our meeting at the Taipei head office. Do you like
Chinese food? There is an excellent restaurant near the office.
Please let me know if this is convenient.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes

Hi Shirley
I hope you remember meeting me in Jakarta earlier this year
when you conducted a 2-day workshop for Marshalls
employees.
I was interested to see from your e-newsletter that you will be
in Jakarta next month conducting some more workshops. My
company will be celebrating its 10th anniversary by holding a
dinner at the Aryaduta Hotel on Wednesday 29 August.
It would be great if you could join us at our special celebration.
Please let me know as soon as possible so that I can add your
name to our VIP list.
Best wishes
7. Examples:
Hi Shirley
I am pleased to accept your invitation to speak to the Finlandia
Foundation in Springfield. I am honored that you would think of me.
You mentioned two possible topics, the Winter War of 1939 or the Civil
War of 1917. I think a discussion of the Winter War would be most
appropriate since two recent movies have depicted that period of
Finnish history in contradictory ways.
My wife and I will drive to Springfield on December 4 to visit with
colleagues at the university before the Foundation's meeting at 7:00
p.m. on December 5. We will be at the Doe Hall by 6:30 that evening.
Other than a microphone, I will only need an overhead projector to
show some data. However, it would be helpful to know how informed
the audience will be on the topic, and whether there will be many Finns
with family experiences from that time?
Thank you for your offer of hotel accommodations, but we have family
members in Springfield who we haven't seen for some time. They have
offered to put us up for a few days. Again, thank you for the invitation
to speak. I look forward to meeting with the Foundation.
9. Examples:
Hi Sally
Of course I remember meeting you. I really enjoyed my
workshop at Marshalls and hope you have seen your
photographs in the Photo Gallery on my website.
Thank you so much for your kind invitation to join you at your
company’s 10th anniversary dinner on Wednesday 29 August.
I should normally be flying into Jakarta that evening for some
public workshops later that week. However I am going to
change my travel plans and fly in one day earlier so that I can
accept your invitation.
I will certainly look forward to seeing you and your colleagues
again.
Best wishes

that week.
I am so sorry that I cannot join you on what will be a wonderful

I hope to see you again when I am back in Jakarta.

Hi Beth
Thank you very much for your thoughtful invitation to attend
Jane's graduation party. Unfortunately, John will be in Detroit
on that day, and I am in charge of a community fund drive that
requires my attention that night. Otherwise, we would surely
be there. I'm sure it will be a great occasion.
Please convey our regrets to Jane and extend our warm
congratulations to her on this achievement. I'm sure you are
justly proud.
13. Examples:
Hi Beth
I appreciate your gracious invitation to your son's graduation
party. Unfortunately, I already have an engagement that

how proud I am of him for his achievement.
May you enjoy a wonderful celebration.

Hi Beth
It is an honor to be asked to sing at your grandfather's funeral
on Saturday. He was a wonderful man. I regret not being able
to express my appreciation for him through music, but I have
another commitment in Springfield on that day.
Please know that I would love to sing if I could. Please accept
my regrets.
15. Examples:
Hi Beth
My sincere thanks for the thoughtful invitation to speak at your
banquet next month. I am sorry that my travel plans will take
me away during that week, so I won't be able to be part of the
program; otherwise, I would be pleased to accept your
invitation.
If you do not have another person in mind, you might consider
inviting John Doe, who recently returned from an assignment
in China. I think you would find his insights very interesting. In
any case, I wish you a very successful evening. Thank you for
thinking of me.
