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.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

5. Question 1
The Red Kangaroo and Emu were chosen as the national animal of Australia for a
specific reason meant to represent their country developing and improving. What
is this peculiar reason?
8. Question 2
X vs Y was the greatest and the bloodiest battle in Indian corporate history that
took place in the 1970’s. X, the grandson of M. A. Jinnah on his mother’s side,
hailed from a line of flamboyant Bombay-based industrial tycoons while Y,
formerly a clerk in Aden, embodied the classic rags-to-riches story with the
success he achieved in the textile industry due to his grit and guile. Identify X and
Y.
11. Question 3

At the time of the deal, public opinion in both countries was strongly against the
sale of this land. This piece of land was bought at the paltry sum of two cents per
acre for a total of $7.2 million in 1867. Yet, Within 30 years of the sale, there was a
sudden migration to this area as the land turned out to be valuable. Which place?
17. Question 5
X is a dramatic bag-of-loot thriller based on Cormac McCarthy's book, starring
Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Tommy Lee Jones. The majority of the film was
shot in Vegas, but Tommy Lee Jones persuaded him to film certain parts in Texas.
While there, Y was being shot nearby. One day, the director of Y and his crew
experimented with the pyrotechnical effects of an oil fire, causing a massive
amount of smoke to infiltrate the set of X, requiring shooting to be delayed by a
day to allow the smoke to dissipate. Both films will eventually become prominent
Oscar contenders a year and a half later. What is X and Y?
19. Answer 5
X is No Country for Old Men
Y is There Will be Blood
20. Question 6
X is a term used to refer to a group of Hungarian scientists who emigrated to the
United States in the early 20th century. The first use of the term X was by Leo
Szilard , a fellow Hungarian American physicist who jokingly called them X. The
origin of X can also be attributed to the fact that these Hungarian Scientists were
considered outsiders in America since they spoke English with a strong accent,
seemingly possessed superhuman intellect and came from an obscure country.
ID X.
24. Question 1
The logo of X has 3 dots to represent the first 3 places where it first started. The
founder planned to add a new dot everytime a new location started, but since the
business quickly spread, this plan was unachievable.
27. Question 2
The dome is an icosahedron. The structure within the dome was originally built
as a water museum of sorts , but since 2007 it houses the Environmental
museum. A complex system of shades was used to control its internal
temperature. The sun shading system was an attempt by the architect to reflect
the same biological processes that the human body relies on to maintain its
internal temperature. ID the architect.
30. Question 3
This song was nominated for a Grammy Award for best pop performance by a
group. The song shares its name with a famous Indie-Pop song in which the
singer was literally “X” while singing the song. The Indian song X was the claim to
fame of its singer Y, who is currently part of one of the most successful music
composer singer trio in India. ID X and Y
33. Question 4
Thomas Lyle Williams noticed his elder sister applying a mixture of vaseline and
coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look. This incident is said
to be the inspiration behind which famous cosmetics brand?
36. Question 5
In the 1880s, hosiery businessman LaMarcus Thompson hated that Americans
were tempted by hedonistic places like saloons and brothels. So he set out to
straighten up one of the most immoral places he could think of: Coney Island in
New York. There, he built America’s first X to give New Yorkers some good, clean
fun, away from seedier pastimes.
39. Question 6
An original version of “X” was called 87a. It has since come into widespread usage
in the internet due to its wide support and portability in applications and
operating systems.Facebook added support for “X” in 2015 and there has been a
huge debate on “X” in terms of its phonetics. What is X?
42. Question directed to team 2
Grace Bedell, an American correspondent wrote a letter to X at the age of 11,
encouraging him to grow a beard, claiming it would make him more attractive
