Call of Duty Ghosts features multiplayer battles across destroyed city landscapes and crumbling skyscrapers, providing a realistic atmosphere. The single player campaign is fun but disposable, with the focus on extensive multiplayer content to keep players engaged for hundreds of hours. The multiplayer includes new guns, perks, customization options, and scorestreak rewards like guard dogs. It also features tactical abilities and field orders that provide new challenges for bonuses. The maps vary in size and play style, from close quarters combat to long range sniping, keeping gameplay varied.
Balancing is a problem seemingly no one exactly knows how to tackle. Should you calculate it all? Should you tinker with values until you're satisfied with every detail? Should you turn to focus tests? I aim to propose a different approach and treat balance as something inherently systemic. I'm going to talk about structuring systems and content around a balanced framework. I will elaborate on my experience with such an approach in Phantom Doctrine, focusing on solutions we utilized and effective techniques required to master the balancing of a lengthy campaign in a complex game.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 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.

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.
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
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.
1. Call of Duty Ghosts
"Multiplayer battles take place in city ruins, flooded streets, disfigured landscapes, and even
crumbling skyscrapers. Some may find Ghosts takes itself a little too seriously, in this regard,
while others might appreciate the more realistic atmosphere".
http://mp1st.com/2013/11/09/call-duty-ghosts-multiplayer-review/#.VGTMyPmsXTo
"The single player is disposable, albeit fun, but it’s irrelevant as there’s enough content in
multiplayer to keep gamers busy for hundreds of hours until the next Call of Duty comes
out".
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-ghosts
Call of Duty Ghosts is a first person shooter game and in fact is the 10th Call of Duty game to
be made. This is the first call of duty to have 'taken it to the next level' since the franchise is
based around the multiplayer experience, in this Cod you have to think strategically.
The multiplayer is packed with new guns, new models of old guns, new perks and a whole
new perk system, and you can customise your character and load out.
http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/11/05/call-of-duty-ghosts-perks-overview
Call of Duty Ghosts has a hybrid pick 10 system however when you remove your tactical,
lethal, secondary and primary gun you make room for more perks. It allows you to overload
and be a beast.
The multiplayer also has new score streaks like the guard dog, if you get a 5 kill streak then
you get the campaign dog 'Riley' that follows you around and alerts you if anybody is near.
In a later DLC they release an option to change it to a wolf.
http://youtu.be/AH2Amg4WUNg
This is another score streak called the Maniac; it has advanced armour, acting like a
juggernaut making it harder to kill, silent and very fast. The only weapon you get as the
Maniac is a knife. This score streak undoubtedly makes the game a fun experience.
Cod Ghosts is the second Call of Duty to add in a tactical ability. Black Ops 1 and 2 was the
first to do this; by holding down the crouch/prone button or if you're like me and like to
drop shot then it will be the right analog, this will activate a tactical slide useful for getting
out of sticky situations.
http://youtu.be/9qywVlc3ZBc
Another surprise they added in this game is the field orders. Now field orders appear in the
form of a brief case and is usually obtained from the first person killed; when the brief case is
picked up a challenge appears at the bottom left of the screen for example one of the
2. challenges is to get 3 non-kill streak kills without dying so what I would have to do is get 3
kill will either my guns or my grenades without dying then I would get a *free care package.
What’s special about this feature is that most maps have a special field order to it, for
example Strike zone has a K.E.M strike similar to a nuke it will completely destroy the map
and the enemy team.
Cod ghosts have verity sized maps. One of the dice maps (ShowTime) is a remake from call
of duty 4 and is literally good for getting point blanks compared to stone heaven which is a
castle themed map good for long range weapons, Sniper rifles (LMG's and Marksman Rifles).
So this is a negative review on the DLC map Showtime the map is really small and as he says
in the video, enemies are just spawning all over the place, it’s a really face paced map so
what people tent to do is use close range guns like shotguns and sub machineguns, stick on
marathon and agility and pace around spraying and praying. This cause some frustration in
call of duty players as they were unable to enjoy playing this map or if you're one of those
rebels then you are having the time of your life.
