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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. FUNCTIONS OF ENTREPRENEUR
The following are the basic functions of an entrepreneur:
Planning; Organizing; Staffing; Leading; and
Controlling
1. Planning Function
A business does not give birth to itself. It does not just
emerge like that. A business must be started by
someone and that person is the entrepreneur: any
business that development must have being
undergone planning, these planning entails what is to
be done, how it will be done, who will do it,
what resources will be used and of course the
implementation and control.
However the critical elements of planning are the
objectives, strategies, resources and
implementation.
2. OBJECTIVES OF THE BUSINESS
/ORGANIZATION
Ideally every organization should have a purpose or
mission- that is what it seeks to achieve in any given
environment. But most of the time, the mission
statement of an organization turns out to be
intangible.
Most often they cannot be measured. We must
stress that the aim of every business enterprise is to
make profit. Many entrepreneurs set their objectives
in relation to the profit motive forgetting that their
capital and employs.
However, the business objectives should be stated in
terms of return on capital and the employed.
3. The following are the basis of stating
business objectives/goal
In order to get the most out of your
business, the goals you set must be
SMART. The SMART acronym stands for
S = Specific,
M = Measurable,
A = Attainable,
R = Relevant, and
T = Time-bound.
4. When setting a goal, be it in your business or
personal life, you need to have all the
elements that make it SMART in order to
succeed.
NB. when setting a goal put your customers
satisfaction first before considering yourself.

5. 2. STRATEGIES OF THE BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
A key element of planning function is the
drafting of strategy by the entrepreneur. But
we must clearly understand what we mean by
strategy.
Strategy is defined as a general plan of action
and implied deployment of resources to
achieve set business objectives. For example,
the key strategy of a business can be one of
low pricing strategy to enable it gain market
entry.
Basically, business should have many
strategies include: Production &
Manufacturing Strategy; Marketing strategy;
and financial strategy of a business.
6. Apart from strategy, every good business should
have: operating policies, policies are statements
which guide thinking and action in any organization.
For example an organization may have a sales
policy or an employment policy. Obviously we can
say that policies sharpen the meaning of strategy.
On the other hand an enterprise should have
operating procedures and rules. Rules are simple
plans for example – Do or Do not. For example an
organization may have a No-Smoking rule. Finally
to that regard rules and policies all help to sharpen
an organization’s operating strategies.
7. RESOURCES
A key aspect of planning is to budget for
the resources necessary to execute a plan.
The budgeting process recognizes the fact
that resources are limited and therefore
should be allocated optimally. When we
are talking of resources, we are talking
about human resources (people) and also
financial resources.
8. IMPLEMENTATION OF PLANS
The entrepreneur in implementing
plans must use subordinates who
must be prepared to carry out the
plans of the manager. Generally, it is
believed that a team based approach
to planning turns out to be more
effective. It enables every member of
the team to understand the plan and
how it is to be executed.
9. 2. ORGANIZING FUNCTION
We have seen that the first key function of
the entrepreneur is planning. After
planning the next function of the
entrepreneur is organizing. Every business
enterprise should have an organizational
structure. You are requested to note that
department is very crucial for any
organization to succeed. Organizational
Structure divides an organization along
functional lines. For example a marketing
department will carry out marketing
11. 3. STAFFING FUNCTION
We have seen that one of the important
functions of the entrepreneur is
organizing. And we also discussed that
organizing involves dividing the
business along functional units. Having
done that, the next important function of
the entrepreneur is staffing the
organization.
12. The staffing function involves effective
staff recruitment and selection, staff
placement and selection, staff
placement and later the appraisal and
development of staff.
We must not at the onset that the
performance of any organization
depends on the quality of its staff. This
is why staffing in any organization must
e approached professionally and
carefully too.
13. In the first place, all the jobs in the organization
must be first identified.
Secondly the level of skills required to perform
the tasks must also be determined.
And finally people who fit properly into the jobs
will be recruited. In the literature, we say that “you
should get the right man for the right job”.
After deploying staff to various jobs, the
entrepreneur is expected to monitor the
performance of all staff through an effective
appraisal system.
Besides that, development of staff should be a
very important task so that the organization will
be able to move along with time.
14. 4. LEADING FUNCTIONS OF THE ENTREPRENEUR
After staffing, the next important
function of the entrepreneur is leading;
leadership is the act or process of
influencing or guiding people so that
they will strive willingly towards the
achievement of group or corporate
objectives. The primary essence of
leadership in entrepreneurship is
followership. A good leader will guide,
motivate and conduct.
15. 5. CONTROLLING FUNCTIONS
The control function of the entrepreneur
basically involves the measurement
and correction of the performance of
the business activities to ensure that
organizational objectives are being
met. However, we must note that for
control to be effective, there are two
pre-requisites.
16. (I) there must be laid out plans against
which performance will be measured
(II) there must be a clearly defined
organizational structure. This
enables the entrepreneur determine
where things go wrong in the
organization and identify the officer
responsible for every act.

from entrepreneur’s function:
