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.
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”.

Project proposal title and date:
Journey to the Drawn City 29th March 2019
Main area of activity:
Film
Rationale:
Throughout the year I have acquired many different skills and knowledge from previous projects. It
started off with an advertising project. Throughout this I learnt the basics of everything that I need
to use now, mainly Photoshop and Adobe Premier. After I learnt the basics, I went on to complete
different projects in print, audio, music video, and video games. Throughout these projects I learnt
about even these in even more detail, discovering how to do more complex cuts and effects on
Premier, and making more complex Photoshop creations. I can now use those skills to create a
trailer from making character movements on Photoshop, and putting them together on Premier,
which will come together to be my film trailer.
My previous production in video games actually could help a lot for this project. It contained a lot of
character creation on Photoshop. Although it was in the form of a 16-bit game, designing different
items helped, and I have a good degree of skill in creating good looking visuals on Photoshop.
Project Concept:
My project is a film trailer for an animated kids film that will be in a style that makes it look like it
was drawn. It will be a silent film with music that tells the story as well as the visuals. I will also
compose the music to make it work with the film, and so I can control where tempo changes and
music changes should be. The film is about a girl and the journey she takes to find the Drawn City,
a place she has only heard about in stories. She knows that it’s a long shot and the place might
not even exist, but she doesn’t know what else to do, there’s nowhere else to go. To go along with
my film, I will create a movie poster, which will be in the same style as the film.
I will also need to do a lot of research for my project. A starting point is to do research on other
animated films of a similar style. For example, Persepolis is a drawn film. This would be a good
film to research as it was made in the same way I want to make mine. I will also find other
animated films that were made in a similar way to how I want to make mine. I will also have to do a
lot of research into film music. Music is a big way of getting emotion out of people so it’s important
to do it right. For example, if a happy song were played during a sad scene, then the scene
wouldn’t seem so sad. To find out the music styles during different emotional scenes, I will do
research on different films, such as Up, or Paperman.
Audience Classification:
My character will be female and there isn’t really any violence, it is more just a story of an
adventure. Because of this I think my film will be more tailored towards females. It is also an
animated film, which usually is suited to younger viewers. There’s no bad language or violence
either, making my film suited to children, ages between 4-10. This is the age where kids tend to
enjoy animated films and wouldn’t be bothered by a lack of violence. I also think there is a
particular social class that my film attracts. I think it would be most suited to social class C1, lower
middle class. This is because it is a safe film for the whole family, and this social class is one that

Week Tasks to be Completed: Specific Tasks
1 Initial Ideas and Proposal Write the pre-proposal – what I want to do and
occupies a large percentage of the population. My film doesn’t have a specific geodemographic.
As there are no words in the film, just music, it is suitable for anyone. However there are some
words in the trailer, for example, the title. Because of this I would say that it’s more suited to
English speaking countries such as the USA and England. To narrow it down even more, I think it
would be most popular in England; this is because of people of a specific psychographic. This
psychographic is belongers. These people are brand loyal and are more attracted to products
where they’re from, in this case The UK. Because I am making it, they might be more attracted to
this product. Due to me making a film, people will also watch it for entertainment. It can be used as
an escape from real world problems, or just be watched for enjoyment.
How will the project be evaluated and reviewed:
There’s a couple of ways to evaluate my work that I will be doing. Throughout the production of my
project I will be making a weekly development diary, which will follow my work over the four weeks
in the form of a production reflection. There I will be able to talk about what improvements I could
make to each area and what I thought I did well. At the end of the project I will also make an
evaluation. This will talk about everything in my FMP, from how good I thought my research went,
to how I managed my time throughout the project.

my aims for the project
Skills audit – talk about my strengths and
weaknesses going into this project.
Mood board – add colour schemes, patterns, and
existing products similar to mine then analyse it.
Talk about similarities, differences and what I will
do to incorporate a certain item.
Key influences – add at least three different
people or products that have influenced my
project. How have they? Why?
Add any extras that could be useful. Mind maps
of ideas, more mood boards, etc.
Proposal – Give a brief explanation of my project
concept as well as how my skills that I’ve learnt
on previous projects help. Also talk about how my
project will be reviewed and the audience my
trailer will appeal to.
2 Research Start by analysing existing products that are
similar to mine – if it’s a film, pick a scene and
analyse areas such as the mise-en-scene or
location. If it’s a still poster, analyse use of colour
or fonts.
Secondary audience research – For existing
products, find out what the audience thought. For
example, look at the reviews for a film that was
researched in existing products.
Primary audience research – create a
questionnaire or interview people as to what they
think of existing products and what they think of
my idea.
3 Research Finish Primary audience research if I haven’t
already
Subject research – get some background
information on the subject and note down any
additional comments they have made during
audience research.
Practical Research – experiment with styles
similar to mine. For example, try a different type
of stop motion.
Finish bibliography of everything you’ve
researched
4 Pre-production & Planning Start with a reflection of what I’m doing, why, and
for whom.
A lot of pre-production is shorter slides about a
lot of things. For example, I will make lots of
slides on areas such as risk assessments,
budget, contingency planning, location and
resources.
I will finish on a production schedule. This will
follow the next four weeks and give me an idea
on how much time I should be spending in one
area.
5 Production Week one will all be spent in front of a PC. I will
create the characters and the different walking
cycles that go with them. A lot of time will be
spent on this as there will be a lot of different
movements

6 Production Week two of production will be finishing up the
movements of the characters, then working on
the backgrounds. For example, the trees and
buildings. If this is done earlier in the week, then I
will also be able to start creating my trailer.
7 Production The third week of production will be split into two
halves. The start will be finishing taking all the
photos to complete my trailer, and the second will
be dedicated to the editing of it. Putting all the
photos together on Premier to create a moving
image. Once the image is made, I will be able to
make the score for the music.
8 Production The last week of production will be dedicated to
finishing up my trailer and completing side
projects. Once the trailer is done, I will make the
poster for the movie on Photoshop. If I have
finished this and it looks good, I will make more
products, such as an album.
9 Evaluation The evaluation is about the strengths and
weaknesses of different areas throughout my
project, and what I could do next time to improve
me. In this I will talk about different areas such as
my time management, and technical qualities of
my project, both the main and side projects.
I will finish off with peer feedback. This is where I
will show people my finished product and ask
them what they liked about it and what they
disliked. From this I will make a summery and
talk about if I agree or disagree with them, and
then I know how to improve it if I complete a
similar task in the future.
