A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence.Isaiah was Samuel?s and Samuel was Isaiah?s. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man?a fellow slave?seeks to gain favor by preaching the master?s gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel?s love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation?s harmony.With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr. fiercely summons the voices of slaver and the enslaved alike to tell the story of these two men; from Amos the preacher to the calculating .
In early times Bast (Ubasti, Bastet) was a goddess with the head of a lion or a desert sand-cat and was regarded as mother of Maahes, a lion-headed god, and wife to Ptah. She was usually depicted as a cat, or as a woman with the head of a cat or lion. She was also connected to Hathor, Sekhmet, Tefnut and Mut. Bast was considered to be the daughter of Atem or Ra. It was only in the New Kingdom that she gained the head of a house cat and became a much more 'friendly' goddess, though she was still depicted as a lion-headed woman to show her war-like side. As with Hathor, Bast is often seen carrying a sistrum.

This presentation underscores the originality of The Epic of Gilgamesh and highlights the influence of its heroic themes on epic poetry through the ages, notably with respect to the character of Achilles in The Iliad by Homer. The presentation draws attention to the richness of the storyline in The Epic of Gilgamesh with respect to Booker's (2004) seven "basic stories".
The Sumerian religion influenced Mesopotamian mythology as a whole, surviving in the mythologies and religions of the Hurrians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and other culture groups.

GILGAMESH IS FROM ANCIENT SUMER
Gilgamesh is one of the oldest recorded stories in the world. It tells the story of an ancient King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, who may have actually existed, and whose name is on the Sumerian King List. The story of Gilgamesh, in various Sumerian versions, was originally widely known in the third millennium B.C. After a long history of retellings, this story was recorded, in a standardized Akkadian version, in the seventh century B.C., and stored in the famous library of King Assurbanipal.Â
Later, the story of Gilgamesh was lost to human memory, except for occasional fragments. The story was rediscovered in the mid-nineteenth century A.D., and made available in translation to German by the beginning of the twentieth century. People were especially amazed when they read this most ancient of stories, and realized that the flood story in Gilgamesh was a close analogue of the flood story in the Hebrew Bible.Â

SUMER WAS IN MESOPOTAMIA
Mesopotamia was in the geographical area that is today called Iraq. The name we call it, "Mesopotamia," is actually Greek for "between two rivers." The two rivers were the Tigris and the Euphrates.
Mesopotamia was the site of one of three earliest urban civilizations (along with the Indus Valley in India and the Nile Valley in Egypt).
During the fourth millennium B.C., human settlements underwent a surprisingly rapid transformation from villages into developed cities with large populations, temples and palaces. During this period, "writing is invented, large buildings, temples and ziggurats, appear for the first time. . . . it was the organization of the canal system, of irrigation, that made the further developments possible." (Kirk,98)
In Mesopotamia there were constant tensions between the radically new cities in the fertile river valley and the ancient ways of the nomadic and hill peoples outside of the cities. Some of these conditions still exist today, as can be seen in the conflicts between the cities and the outlying areas in modern Iraq. The basic conflict is between the ways of civilization and the ways of the wilderness.
Mesopotamia was a land of intermittent drought and violent floods; this was not a kindly tame nature at all, as can be seen in the conflict between the wild Enkidu, who undoes traps, interfering with people's livelihood, and the civilizing Harlot, who lures Enkidu into the delights and responsibilities of civilization. The taming of Enkidu by the Harlot can be seen as a metaphor for the taming of the land by the means of civilization, especially the system of canals that controlled the wild waters and allowed for predictable, irrigated farming.Â

WRITING
The reason the recorded story of Gilgamesh survived thousands of years was that it was written on clay, in a set of symbols we call cuneiform, and then fired. "Clay ... especially when fired...[is] the best--that is, the cheapest and most durable--writing material yet utilized by man, while papyrus, par ...

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 wasnât 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.

1. Gilgamesh
Gilgamesh (First written in 2100
BC, 1300 years before the Iliad
and the Odyssey) is a flood myth
that has a lot of the myth
elements as well as the hero
elements:
2. This image of Gilgamesh comes from Assyria. It shows Gilgamesh subduing a lion, a
common pose for the great warrior-king. His long hair and beard also show his
strength, as well as his physical perfection.
3. This image of Gilgamesh and Enkidu by modern-day artist Neil Dalrymple is
inspired by ancient images of the two friends; notice Enkidu is part-animal,
and smaller than the king whom he loves and serves.
4. Enkidu and the Priestess
ď The pattern of wholeness traced in the first two
tablets of the Epic of Gilgamesh is the
following: Enkidu is the one capable to tame
the, but only if he could transcend his
wilderness without and within. To help Enkidu
reach out for the Transcendent, a young
priestess named Shamhat of the temple of
Inanna/Ishtar is called. Her Task is to initiate
the wild Enkidu into his Higher Self, to tame the
beast within to find the man without, a man who
is both divine and very human, the healed
version of Gilgamesh the king.
5. The Priestess continued
ď They meet, Shamhat and Enkidu, in the forest and for six
days and seven nights, as the planets and the stars
travelled the skies, they shared all fleshly and spiritual
delights. A world of touch, tastes, senses and experiences
exploded around them as they shared the pleasures of
body, mind, heart and spirit. So much they learnt with
each other, they taught each other. On the seventh day,
Enkidu realizes that although the forest, the wild beasts
were dear to him beyond measure, somehow he needed
more than to eat, bask in the sun or sleep.
6. ď Then Shamhat tells him of Uruk and Gilgamesh,
someone who could be his equal in all respects, perfect
in strength. Enkidu decides to go to Uruk. Before they
reach Uruk, Enkidu learns to eat and drink from the
table the fruits of men´s labors on earth, and is taken to
the place of the sheepfold, a probable allusion to the
rites of the Sacred King as Shepherd of the Land,
capable of defending the herds and land against all
predators and beasts.
7. The beauty and terror of the greatest of Sumerian goddesses come through in this
ancient statue. Ishtar was at once lovely and terrible, seducing many great men and
then killing them. Her unearthly white skin and glowing red eyes warn those who might
answer her as she beckons with her right hand.
8. Humbaba's demonic face was a popular subject for sculptors; this ancient
Assyrian representation follows the usual practice of depicting the creature's
face as one swirling line.
9. Siduri: Alewife or Goddess?
ď Siduri, the veiled barmaid, is a traditional figure
in Mesopotamian mythology and poetry, and in
the Hurrian language her name means âyoung
woman.â The goddess of wine-making and
beer brewing, she is usually considered a
manifestation of Ishtar. Her warmth and
kindness to Gilgamesh throughout this episode
are notable, since he treated Ishtar with such
contempt in Uruk.
10. This modern-day recreation of a great walled city on a river gives us a sense of the
beauty and power of Gilgamesh's city of Uruk. The continuing interest in ancient
Sumeria is proof that his city did indeed grant Gilgamesh immortality.
