The Rape of the Lock was written by Pope to chide gently the Fermor family when Lord Petre cut off a lock of Arabella Fermor’s hair on a certain fateful day and such dire consequences followed. Pope started something that culminated into a piece of literature that has remained to this day a leading example of the mock epic satire.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

6. Narrator of the story is a newspaper
man in India.
His Friend Danial Dravot.
Succeeded in crossing the border.
Daniel is the Son of Alexander the
Great.
Chooses a bride for himself among the
young women of his Capital.
9. The basic stylistic technique of the story is Kipling’s structuring it
in a sort of parody of biblical history, complete with numerous
biblical allusions. The purpose of these allusions is to give
Peachey’s tale an externally imposed story framework, indeed
the most basic and dignified story framework in Western
culture. Once Dravot projects himself into the role of god as king
and thus assumes a position in the kingdom as the fulfillment of
prophecy and legend (although it must be remembered that
Peachey and Dravot are themselves the authors of their own
legend), he is bound to this particular role. It is only when he
wishes to escape the pre established role and marry an Indian
girl that his world falls apart. When he is bitten by his frightened
intended bride, the cry, “Neither God nor Devil, but a man,”
breaks the spell of the story world and propels Dravot and
Peachey out of the fictional reality of their own making and back
into reality again.
10. Peachey and Dravot are not so much two separate characters as
they are double figures; this is indicated not only by Peachey’s
references to himself as suffering Dravot’s fate, but also by the
fact that if Dravot is the ambiguous god-man, then it is Peachey
who must be crucified. Kipling finds it necessary to make this
character split in his story, for he must not only have his god-
man die but also have him resurrected. Thus, it is necessary to
have two characters in order to create the mythic.
11.
12. One of Kipling’s most Joseph Conrad-like stories is one of his
earliest pieces, “The Man Who Would Be King,” which Henry
James called an “extraordinary tale” and which many critics
have suggested is a typical Kipling social parable about British
imperialism in India. One critic, Walter Allen, calls it a “great
and heroic story,” but he says that Kipling evades the
metaphysical issues implicit in the story. Although “The Man
Who Would Be King” does not contain the philosophic
generalizations of Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (1899, serial;
1902, book), and is perhaps not as subtle a piece of symbolist
fiction, it is nonetheless a coherent piece of fabular fiction
carefully constructed and thematically significant.
The secret of the story is its tone; indeed, tone and style are
everything in the work
13. . The story focuses primarily on the crucial difference between
a tale told by a narrator who merely reports a story and a
narrator who has lived the story he tells. The first-person,
primary narrator is a journalist whose job it is to report the
doings of “real kings,” whereas Peachey Carnehan, the inner
narrator, has as his task the reporting of the events of a
“pretend king.” The primary narrator (Kipling) tells the story of
Peachey and Daniel Davrot, which, although it is fiction, is
presented as if it were reality. The secondary narrator
(Peachey) tells a story of Peachey and Davrot in which the two
characters project themselves out of the “as-if” real world of
the story into the purely projected and fictional world of their
adventure.
The tone of the tale reflects the journalist-narrator’s bemused
attitude toward the pair of unlikely heroes and his incredulity
about their “idiotic adventure .” “The beginning of
everything,” he says, is his meeting with Peachey in a railway
train
14. where he learns that the two are posing as correspondents for
the newspaper for which the narrator is indeed a real
correspondent. Role-playing is an important motif in the story,
for indeed Peachey and Davrot are always playing roles; they are
essentially vagabonds and loafers with no real identity of their
own. After the narrator returns to his office and becomes
“respectable,” Peachey and Davrot interrupt this respectability
to tell him of their fantastic plan and to try to obtain from him a
factual framework for the country where they hope to become
kings. “We have come to you to know about this country, to
read a book about it, and to be shown maps,” says Carnehan.
“We want you to tell us that we are fools and to show us your
books.” The mythic proportions of the two men—or rather their
storybook proportions, for “mythic” is too serious a word here
for the grotesque adventurers—are indicated by the narrator’s
amused awareness that Davrot’s red beard seems to fill half the
room and Carnehan’s huge shoulders the other half.
