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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Joanna Philbin: Biography
Joanna Philbin was born in Los Angeles. When Joanna was in
the 4th grade, she would always write to Judy Bloom and Judy
would always write back. It was then that she decided she
wanted to be a writer. She and her family moved to New York
City when she was ten so her father, Regis Philbin, could
pursue his television host career. Bad acne and braces in high
school, only made her strive, even more, to be an author. She
went on to graduate from Brown University. After realizing
that a job for Seventeen magazine wasn’t going to cut it, she
went to law school at the University of Notre Dame. She
started taking fiction classes there and completed the MFA
program in creative writing. In 2006, she tried writing for TV
shows. She got her own show “Las Vegas”. Joanna sat down
with a friend and discussed the series she wrote and it was
published. Now she follows Judy Bloom on Twitter!

3. Summary
Lizzie Summers, the daughter of Katia Summers, doesn’t like to be the center
of attention or in the spotlight. But when you have a model for a mom, that’s
pretty hard to avoid. Lizzie and her friends- Carina and Hudson- are all
daughters of famous and wealthy families. The three friends always have each
others backs. When Lizzie accidentally says her mom’s clothes are slutty to
some reporters, it gives her a bad reputation, but a good opportunity. A
photographer named Andrea asked Lizzie to model for her and that made
many more fashion photographers want to have her featured in their
magazines. Lizzie had the time of her life with Andrea, but when it came to
Martin Meloy, it was a different story. She ended up storming out of the Martin
Meloy photo shoot. In the end, Lizzie learned she didn’t need the biggest name
in fashion to feel beautiful while modeling and that her mom will love her no
matter what..

12. Rating
I gave The Daughters a rating of
5 out of 5 stars
I LOVED the book. One reason I liked the book was
because the girls were around my age. Even though I
couldn’t really relate to many of their problems I
understood them. As I was reading this book, I was
thinking, Wow, I am reading my dream.
