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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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 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.

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.

Charlie Parker’s “Confirmation”
What Did You Hear?
Questions?
3.
Born August 29, 1920, in Kansas City, Kansas
Moved to Kansas City, Missouri when he was 7 years old. At the time, the
city was a lively center for African-American music, including jazz, blues
and gospel.
Charlie discovered his own talent for music through taking lessons at public
schools. As a teen, he played the baritone horn in the school band
By the time Charlie was 15, the alto saxophone was his instrument of
choice.
4. From 1935 to 1939, Parker played in Kansas City, Missouri,
nightclub scene with local jazz and blues bands
In 1938, he played with the pianist Jay McShann's band, with which he
toured Chicago and New York.
In 1939, Parker decided to stick around New York City for a while. There
he remained for almost a year, working as a professional musician and
jamming for pleasure on the side
In 1939, his father died. After his father death, he returned to New York
and made his first recording with McShann's band
5. He was a spontaneous composer playing jazz music at the time .
Playing Jazz, He became one of the pioneers for “Bebop”.
Bebop is generally considered the beginning of modern jazz. Bebop is
also referred to as “bop”
Bebop in jazz is a harder, irregular and less predictable pattern of playing
jazz music
He was also known for his great improvisation technique playing the alto
saxophone
6. Derived probably from some of the syllables used in scat singing (“doowah, be-bop a loo waah”)
Dependant on inventiveness, quick thinking, virtuosity, and creativity of
the musician.
Designed to be different from “swing” at the time.
Beboppers avoided improvising on the melody their solos were built
strictly on the chord patterns and often made no reference to tune. This
made an original music sound different when played by a Bebopper
Bebop is based on a remarkable conservative structure which normally
begins with a 32-bar tune.
Often, the melody instrument plays the tune in unison, then each
instrument improvises over the chords of the tune
7. Jazz improvisation is the process of spontaneously creating fresh
melodies over the continuously repeating cycle of chord changes of a
tune. The improviser may depend on the contours of the original tune, or
solely on the possibilities of the chords' harmonies
It has been said that the best improvised music sounds composed, and
that the best composed music sounds improvised. Composed music and
improvised music may seem to be opposites, but in Jazz they merge in a
unique mixture.
"Improvisation is the ability to create something very spiritual, something
of one's own." – Sonny Rollins
8. Car crash leads to morphine addiction, graduating to heroin use.

-Charlie Parker
