Ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome had distinct marriage and divorce customs. In Mesopotamia, marriage contracts were signed and gifts were exchanged at weddings. Divorce was allowed if agreed upon by the wife's father and husband. In Egypt, marriage usually occurred after puberty to facilitate childbearing, and divorce was permitted for adultery or infertility. Greek and Roman marriages were often arranged, while divorce in Rome simply required repaying the wedding gifts. These customs contrast with modern Canadian marriages, where individuals have more freedom to choose partners and divorce involves multiple legal procedures.

Discussing Design: The Art of Critique - Web 2.0 Expo NY 2011Aaron Irizarry
In this presentation we’ll discuss the importance of critique and a language for discussing design. It can be easy to complain about the way things are and theorize on the way things should be. Progress comes from understanding why something is the way it is and then examining how it meets or does not meet it’s desired goals. This is critique. Critique is not about describing how bad something is, or proposing the ultimate solution. Critique is a dialogue, a conversation that takes place to better understand how we got to where we are, how close we are to getting where we want to go and what we have left to do to get there.
The contents of this presentation will focus on:
understanding critique
best practices for incorporating critiques into a design practice
identifying common challenges to critique and ways to improve our ability to deliver, collect and receive critique

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.

7. Mesopotamia (Marriage)
In the ancient Mesopotamia, many modern customs
such as wedding can be traced back then. In Mesopotamia,
girls after puberty are considered able to be married. The
groom and the bride need to make a legal marriage contract
first, then the wedding can be held. At the wedding, presents
would be exchanged, a huge feast would be held and all the
groom’s relatives will be invited. The husband also need to pay
the wife and her family a price such as lambs and cows in
order to marry her. However, if the groom died during these
processes, the bride will have to marry the groom’s closest
relative even the groom’s father. After the feast, the bride
would be considered to be a part of the groom’s family.
During the marriage, the wife would stay home and her job is
usually to grind grains, teach and take care of her children,
make food, prepare beverages especially beer. The husband's
job would be to work and support his family money. T
8. Mesopotamia (Divorce)
During the time of Mesopotamia, divorce is
acceptable, but the wife doesn’t have a lot
of control of it because she can only suggest
it to her father or his husband then it’s up to
them to decide. Once the husband and the
wife’s father has reached an agreement, the
wife’s father will return all the gifts from the
husband, except the ones that have been
consumed. After that, the wife and the
husband are divorced.
10. Egyptian Marriage
Very similar Mesopotamians’ marriage custom. The
bride has little freedom of choosing her husband
until 26th dynasty. Most people took relationships
of monogamy except a few monarchies who
married multiple concubines. The common age
for being married is after sexual adulthood
because having children plays a huge part of the
Egyptian relationship. The sexual adulthood is
usually 12-13 for girls and 15-16 for boys. Soon, a
price for marrying a woman became a part of the
Egyptian’s custom. This price can be from farm
animal to huge bars of gold. Unlike some parts of
Greek, most Egyptians don’t care about their
mate’s nation but their social class.
11. Egyptian Divorce
There were many cases of divorce during
the ancient Egypt and the two main
reasons for divorcing and the following.
Firstly, when a wife or concubine
committed adultery which is having sex
with another man, divorce would be
acceptable. Secondly, if a female partner
was proved to have inability of giving birth
to a child, divorce is also acceptable in
this case.
14. Canadian Marriage
In order to have the rights to be
married, Canadians have to be over 18
years old. Comparing to the ancient
civilizations, Canadian female has
much more freedom of choosing their
mate.
15. Canadian Divorce
In order to be properly divorced in
Canada, there are about ten procedures
to go through. Personally, I think the most
important process is choosing the
children’s future responsible parent
because the children can easily be hurt
during this process.
17. Roman Marriage
Rome is known for its strictness and therefore,
there are less freedom for the intended
couples. So basically, the marriages are
planned by parents and there will be a gift for
the male’s family sent y the female’s family. In
the modern days, Christian weddings are
directed by Christian priests. In the ancient
Rome, everybody has to believe in the Rome
gods but the priests do no direct the
wedding, instead, a set of rituals was
followed.
18. Greece Divorce
Divorces in Rome are very convenient,
the male just need to pay back the
present that the female’s family has given
him at the wedding. However, the
payback requires money not the gift it
self.
