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”.

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.

3. What is a Hybrid Class?
A hybrid class meets both in the
classroom and electronically. For this
course, it means that we will meet once
a week for 2 hours and 15 minutes, and
that you will complete the remaining 2
hours and 15 minutes of this five unit
course on your own, via presentations
on the website. We will not meet
together; rather, you will simply go to
the online presentations and work
through them on your own. I will answer
questions by email. These
presentations must be completed in a
timely manner each week.
4. Using Canvas
We will use Canvas to communicate, see
grades, access course documents and
assignments, and submit homework.
As I informed you, our class is published on Canvas. You should be
able to access this course by logging into Canvas and using your
college credentials.

We will discuss how to submit your essay in greater detail in the class before
your first essay is due. Feel free to go through the “Kaizena” presentation
under the “Create Accounts” tab on the Canvas webpage if you want to
preview the process.
All out of class essays will be submitted
electronically before the due date.
19. It is your responsibility to talk to me your
absences or other conflicts. Work done in
class cannot be made up. Also, please
arrive on time, as you will not be able to
make up work completed before you arrive,
including quizzes.
Attendance:
Success in this course depends on regular attendance and
active participation. Participation points will be part of our daily
activities. If you are not in class, you cannot earn these points.
You should save absences for emergencies, work conflicts,
weddings, jury duty, or any other issues that might arise in your
life.
20. Late Work: I do not
generally accept late
work. You may receive
an extension if you have
an unavoidable and
excusable reason, with
documentation from a
medical professional or
another legal authority.
Because of the short
summer schedule, you
cannot afford to get
behind.
21. Conduct, Courtesy, and Electronic Devices:
Please speak freely and candidly; however,
while your thoughts and ideas are important to
me and to the dynamics of the class, you must
also respect others and their opinions. Courtesy
will allow each person to have the opportunity to
express his or her ideas in a comfortable
environment.
Courtesy includes but is not limited to politely
listening to others, not slamming the classroom
door or walking in front of classmates if you do
arrive late, and maintaining a positive learning
environment for your fellow classmates. To help
maintain a positive learning environment, please
focus on the work assigned: turn off all cell
phones and IPods before class, and do not text-
message in class. If you must use your phone,
please step outside so as to minimize disruption.
22. Academic Dishonesty:
Plagiarism includes quoting or
paraphrasing material without
documentation and copying from other
students or professionals. Intentional
plagiarism is a grave offense; the resulting
response will be distasteful. Depending
upon the severity, instances of plagiarism
may result in a failing grade for the paper
or the course and possible administrative
action. All assignments will be scanned
and scrutinized for academic dishonesty.
Please refer to your handbook for more
information regarding plagiarism.
24. Syllabus
The syllabus is a tentative schedule.
It may be revised during the quarter.

25. Homework
There is writing homework for each
class meeting. This is both to help
you think about your reading and to
help you produce ideas for your
essays.
In order to earn an A on your
homework, you must do the
following:
Complete all of the posts.
Post on time.
Be thoughtful in your responses
Homework will be posted on discussion forums linked to
each PowerPoint presentation.
26. Posting Homework
This is the
presentation for
our first face to
face class. Note
the link below it
to the
discussion
board where
you will post
your homework.
27. Suggestions
Your homework for this class is worth 100 points because it
requires significant work. Take this part of the course very
seriously. It is easy to skip a few assignments, and then a
few more, but failing the homework section of this class will
be detrimental to your grade.
Make a word document for your homework. Write the
assigned work there. Date it and record the post #. Revise
and edit before you post. Post your homework in a timely
manner. This will keep you on track by reminding you of how
many you have done or missed.
At the end of the quarter, I will ask you to assess your work,
so make sure you stay on top of what you have
accomplished!
28. How to take the quiz
You can easily take a
quiz by clicking the quiz
link under the class
presentation. The
questions will be shown
one at a time. The
questions are multiple
choice, true/false, and fill
in the blank. They are
based on this first
presentation. You may
take the first quiz two
times. I will record the
highest score.
29. Please spend some time familiarizing yourself with
the website. Read the Information, expectations,
and policies portion of the Syllabus. Look over the
daily calendar. We will review course and college
policies at the beginning of our next meeting, after
you have familiarized yourself with the website
and course materials. Please be prepared for both
discussion and a question and answer period.

Editor's Notes
Slide 1: Good afternoon and welcome to English 1. I am Dr. Kim Palmore, and that video outlined just a few of the many tips that you will enjoy this semester. Right now, I would like you to fold the 3x5 card on your desk in half, like this. Then, write on it the name you prefer to be called. Finally, please add the pronouns that you use: she hers/he his/they them, for example. Also there is a roll sheet circulating. If you are enrolled in this class, just write your name as it likely appears on the roster. If you are trying to add, please include your name and your email address.
Slide 2: Agenda: Today’s class is divided into two parts. The first part will cover the nuts and bolts of the course. During the second part of the class, we will review the basic features of the argument essay. We will do some brainstorming together, and then do a review of outlining, the thesis, topic sentences, and the counterargument. Don’t worry if you can’t remember how to write an argument essay. I will provide plenty of help.
Slide 3: If you are already enrolled in the course, you undoubtedly received my pre-class email, and you know that even though this course is fully face-to face, we will be using the convenient features of Canvas. You can see your grades, access documents and assignments, and submit your homework all online. I will also communicate with you via Canvas
Slide 4: Canvas Here is a picture of our course. Note that the homepage provides links via the menu across the top of the picture. There are more links on the left that will help you navigate the site. Canvas is user friendly, but if you have questions, I will answer them via email or at the beginning of our next couple of classes. After we cover some of the course basics, I will give you a more complete demonstration of the website.
Slide 6:Texts and Required Materials: We will use a textbook, The St. Martin’s Guide to Writing, and a novel, The Hunger Games for this class. You will also need a large Blue Book for your first in-class essay exam. You can buy all three at the bookstore, or you can order the two books online. You have two weeks to get your books. You will need your bluebook by our third meeting for the in class essay.
Slide 7: Course Requirements: Regular attendance and active participation in class discussions are essential to your success in class. You will earn real points for engaging in activities. You must also keep up to date on reading and assignments. You will take various in-class writing assignments. Your homework will generally be essay brainstorming and drafting. Finally you will also complete formal writing assignments, including one in-class essay and three out of class essays, the final two having increasing research components.
Slide 8: Kaizena: I use an electronic system called Kaizena to collect your essays. This software allows you to upload your essay just like you would attach it to an email. In Kaizena, I can give you both audio and written comments, and I can embed links that will give you helpful tips on improving your writing. In order to use Kaizena, you simply join a Kaizena group by using the link on our homepage to add yourself to your class. When you get closer to submitting your first out of class essay, I will cover the submission process in greater detail. If you would like to preview that information, click on the “Kaizena link” under the “Create Accounts” tab on the Canvas webpage.
Slide 10: Grade Breakdown: Here is the grading scorecard for the essays. They follow the standard grading scale, but please do notice that there is no C- grade. You must pass the class with a C in order to move forward.
Slide 11: Intro to Class Policies: I would like you to read the syllabus carefully after class today, but I would like to cover a few important policies here.
Slide 12: Attendance: Your success depends on your attendance. Participation points will be earned as part of our daily activities. If you are not in class, you cannot earn these points. Please save absences for emergencies. It is your responsibility to notify me if you have a conflict that keeps you from our meetings. Please do so in advance when possible.
Slide 13: Conduct, Courtesy, and Electronic Devices: Please speak freely in class, but also respect others when they speak. Courtesy will allow each person to discuss ideas in a comfortable and safe environment. Courtesy also means not slamming doors, walking in front of others, and maintaining an engaged and positive learning environment. To that end, please turn off your devices when class starts. If you must use your phone, please step outside to do so.
Slide 14: Academic Dishonesty: Plagiarism is a grave offense. It includes the intentional use or misuse of material without documentation. It also includes copying from other students or professionals. As we will learn about documenting sources, I encourage you to ask me, or consult our documentation resources, to make sure that you understand how and when to cite. There is a video on our site that discusses the intricacies of plagiarism.
Slide 15: The Course Calendar: The course calendar is a schedule of both our in-class activities and your homework.
