What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. Botanical Garden Field Trip Ms. Laura’s Class Located in the Sonoran Desert, in Phoenix, Arizona
2. What is a desert? A place where there is a shortage of usable water The Sonoran Desert is Located here
3. 2 Categories of deserts:horse latitude and rain shadow deserts Horse latitude or high pressure zone At 30 degrees latitude in both the northern and southern hemispheres, the west coasts of all continents have deserts. These are caused by high pressure zones which result from warm, dry descending air. This downward motion of dry air prevents rain. 30o 30o
6. Habitats The Sonoran Desert has many different landforms, soil types and moisture. As a result, several habitats (communities of plants and animals) have developed in this area.
7. Desert Habitat The desert, with its many mountains and valleys, is the largest habitat. These plants can survive on less than ten inches of rain per year.
8. Mesquite Bosque Along waterways, where ground water is high, small mesquite forests grow. The mesquite tree is an important plant to the desert and the life in it. It is sometimes referred to as the tree of life because it has so many different uses.
9. Desert Oasis There are valleys in the desert where one can find streams, pools and ponds. Many trees like cottonwood, willow trees, and cattails would otherwise die without these areas.
10. Semi Desert Grassland On the eastern edge of the Sonoran Desert lie semi-desert grasslands. The elevation is higher and the rainfall is about ten to eighteen inches per year. Many grasses, acacia and yucca plants grow here.
11. Chaparral The chaparral habitat are mostly in the northern areas of the Sonoran desert at much higher elevations of 2400 to 4100 feet. There is 13-25 inches of rain every year. The juniper and desert spoon make their home here.

14. What is a cacti? Any succulent plant of the family Cactaceae native to the arid regions of the world and usually having spines. Succulent plant: water retaining plants that store water in their leaves, stems, and roots.
16. Tonto Basin Agave Agave delamateri This plant looks like a cacti but is actually more related to the Lily. It was first used by the Sinagua Indians. It cannot reproduce by flowers and seeds, instead it uses clones to reproduce.
23. Extremely hardy. Can live in temperatures as cold as ten degrees. (ag.arizona.edu, 2011)
24.
25. Covered in long, white hair-like spines. They can be small clusters or tall plants that can grow to over ten feet tall.

Let’s think about all of the different habitats that the desert has. It’s not just dry and sandy.
Our desert, theSonoran Desert, has all of these types of habitats and we will look at each.
This is the one we see the most in Phoenix.
These areas are spread all around and throughout the Phoenix area.
This is a photo from Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. There are many areas near Cave Creek and Carefree that you may have seen like this.
These areas are generally near the Eastern part of our state but often if we travel up the I-17 toward Prescott we will see some of these areas. Photo from nwbirding.com
Chaparrals are the areas we see when we are on our way to Flagstaff. The desert starts to look a little plusher and we know we are not in our own backyards any longer. Photo:Brewbooksphotostream on Flickr
Can you remember how the different habitats were described? See if you can match the photos to the habitats…
The arrows point to the correct photos.
There are so many different kinds of cactus. We see so many of them each and every day. Let’s start a journal and see how many we can find tomorrow.
These are the parts of the cacti plant.
We will explore some of the plants at the Botanical Garden. Pretend you are strolling the paths and stopping to take a closer look…
