This is a PowerPoint Presentation I created in 2008 to help people better understand proper etiquette when dealing with people with disabilities. I have givne this training to colleagues within the Department of Veterans Affairs as well as people in other organizations. This training is given from personal experience as I have been visually impaired since birth.
To include Persons with Disabilities in our lives, we need to learn a bit about disabilities first. Here is some simple information on blindness to help you understand better.
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.

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.

2. A BRIEF HISTORY
• The movement to promote white canes as a symbol of blindness
began in Europe and spread in America by the Lion’s Club
International in the 1930s.
• The white color was regarded as being easier for motorists and
others to see alerting them that the individual holding the cane is
blind.
• Law was enacted to back it since that time in the United States
• October 15th was set aside as “ WHITE CANE SAFETY DAY” established
in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as effort to raise awareness
of people who carry white cane.
3.
4. Definition
• Mobility canes are a form of mobility aid that enable blind or
visually impaired people to go about their daily business when
out especially in unfamiliar areas.
• White mobility canes are used by many people who have a
visual impairment. Primarily, they aid a person to scan their
surroundings for obstacles or find orientation clues.
• They are also helpful for others such as road users in identifying
the person as vision impaired so that they can take appropriate
care and attention.
5. conti
• Mobility canes are often made from aluminium, graphite-
reinforced plastic or other fibre-reinforced plastic, and can come
with a wide variety of tips depending on the user’s preference.
They can be either collapsible/foldable or straight.
6. Types
1. Symbol cane
• These canes are smaller than other types of mobility cane. They are
a signifier and are used primarily to make others aware of the user’s
vision impairment.
• For example, it may alert drivers that a pedestrian holding one may
not be able to see them, and as such to take extra care.
• A symbol cane is often lighter and shorter than the long cane, and
can be folded up to fit into a bag or pocket when not in use.
• Some people with a visual impairment use the symbol cane to
check for a stair edge or curb edge and it can be used to detect
things like door edges and frames.
8. Conti..
• 2. Guide cane
• This type of cane is longer than a symbol cane and is used for
basic protection. A guide cane generally extends from the floor
to the user's waist or above providing information about
surroundings around or a step ahead.
• It can be used to scan for kerbs and steps. The guide cane can
also be used diagonally across the body for protection, warning
the user of obstacles immediately ahead.
• A roller tip can be used if appropriate to aid travel in different
situations, especially in unfamiliar areas and where surface
underfoot is uneven. The guide cane is also collapsible.
9.
10. Cont..
3 Long cane
• This white cane is designed primarily as a mobility tool that is used
to detect objects and provide information about the environment to
the user about two steps ahead of them.
• The cane’s length depends on the user’s height, and traditionally
extends from the floor to the user's sternum.
• It differs from the guide cane in that a long cane’s end has a tip of
some kind – either rolling or pointed.
• Rolling tips can be best for smooth pavements and offer the largest
amount of protection as they never leave the ground. Pointed tips
can be used when tapping the ground as opposed to rolling across it.
11.
12. 4. Support cane
• The white support cane is designed primarily to offer physical
support and stability to someone who is blind or partially
sighted.
• Its white colour means the cane also works to make others
aware the user has sight loss. White support canes need to be
measured so that the height is correct for the individual.
• Support canes come with various styles of handles and can
also be collapsible.
13.
14. 5.Red-striped Canes
• If you see any of the above white canes, including white support
sticks, that also have red stripes on them, then this signifies that
the person also has a hearing impairment as well as a visual
impairment.
15.
16. 6. SMART WHITE CANE
• A white cane that uses smart
technology aims to help visually-
impaired people navigate their
surroundings.
• The device is equipped with built-in
speakers, smartphone integration,
and sensors that send vibrations to
warn users of obstacles up ahead.
• Users can also pair the cane with
their smartphone with the ability
to integrate it with a voice assistant
and google maps

19. ASSESSMENT/MEASUREMENT
• Choosing a wrong length for your white cane can make walking a
painful and tedious process as you are forced to take small unsure
steps.
• This results in either not being able to walk as fast as you want or
walking faster than your cane allows and risking bumping into people
or objects. Thus, choosing a cane that is too short can be
uncomfortable and can make movement unnecessarily hard.
20. CONTI..
• When it comes to choosing the right length of your white cane, there is
no single rule to be followed but Here are a few ways in which the
cane length is typically chosen that you could use as a guideline.
1.One of the more common methods of measurement is to pick a cane
that goes from the ground up to your sternum or your chest area when
you are standing in an upright position.
21. Measurement conti…
2. Some people prefer a cane or stick that one end comes up to their
chin when both you and the stick are upright and its other end is
touching the ground.
3. Another popular technique of how to measure for a blind cane is to
choose a cane that is approximately 4 inches shorter than your height
and will come up to your nose if stood vertically upright.
23. Demonstration/ how it works
• Here’s how it works:
• the person holds the cane in their dominant hand, roughly centered
in front of the body, and the cane is swept from left to right in a
pattern about shoulder-width. It sweeps to the left as the right foot
steps and back to the right as the left foot steps, thus clearing the
pathway before each step.
24. Conti..
• Through the feel of the tip of the cane against the ground, it is
possible to detect changes in surfaces, grates and man-hole covers,
steps and curbs, and obstacles such as poles, signs, planters, and
trees. Each person decides how fast to walk based on their comfort
level in making adjustments to the obstacles found with the cane
