This document discusses several different fossils. It describes Pteranodon as a large flying reptile that lived in North America during the late Cretaceous period. It was the first pterosaur found outside of Europe. The document also summarizes Archaeopteryx as a small bird-like dinosaur that lived around 150 million years ago in Europe and had features of both birds and small Mesozoic dinosaurs. Additionally, it provides brief overviews of ammonites, fossil fish, Physa princepii snails, and Ostrea sculpturata oysters.
Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class ReptaliaiPagador
In order for us to understand how all living organisms are related, they are arranged into different groups. The more features that a group of animals share, the more specific the group is. Animals are given scientific names so that people all around the world can communicate about animals, no matter what language they speak (these names are traditionally Latin words). Animals belong to a number of different groups, starting with the animal kingdom.
Kingdom
All living organisms are first placed into different kingdoms. There are five different kingdoms to classify life on Earth, which are Animals, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria, and Protists (single-celled organisms).
Phylum
The animal kingdom is divided into 40 smaller groups, known as phylum. Here, animals are grouped by their main features. Animals usually fall into one of five different phylum which are Cnidaria (invertebrates), Chordata (vertebrates), Arthropods, Molluscs and Echinoderms.
Class
The phylum group is then divided into even smaller groups, known as classes. The Chordata (vertebrates) phylum splits up into Mammalia (Mammals), Actinopterygii (Bony Fish), Chondrichthyes (Cartilaginous Fish) , Aves (Birds), Amphibia (Amphibians) and Reptilia (Reptiles).
Order
Each class is divided into small groups again, known as orders. The class Mammalia (Mammals), splits into different groups including Carnivora, Primate, Artiodactyla and Rodentia.
Family
In every order, there are different families of animals which all have very similar features. The Carnivora order breaks into families that include Felidae (Cats), Canidae (Dogs), Ursidae (Bears), and Mustelidae (Weasels).
Genus
Every animal family is then divided into small groups known as genus. Each genus contains animals that have very similar features and are closely related. For example, the Felidae (Cat) family contains genus including Felis (small Cats and domestic Cats), Panthera (Tigers, Leopards, Jaguars and Lions) and Puma (Panthers and Cougars).
Species
Each individual species within the genus is named after it's individual features and characteristics. The names of animals are in Latin so that they can be understood worldwide, and consist of two words. The first word in the name of an animal will be the genus, and the second name indicates the specific species.
Example 1 - Tiger
Kingdom: Animalia (Animal)
Phylum: Chordata (Vertebrate)
Class: Mammalia (Mammal)
Order: Carnivora (Carnivore)
Family: Felidae (Cat)
Genus: Panthera
Species: Panthera tigris (Tiger)

includes the acanthodians, bony --fishes, and their tetrapod offspring.
Teleostomes give rise to the teleosts (Teleostei).
ACANTHODII “Spiny forms”
The name is derived from the Greek root acantha (Ακανθα), which refers to a spine
Generally small fish but could be as long as 2 meters
Called spiny forms
The first fishes to have jaws
Numerous fins (both in-line and paired), most of which were supported at the anterior end by a large spine.
Basal gnathostomes that shared a suite of characters with the Osteichthyes and the Chondrichthyes (e.g. gills cover by an operculum, placoid-like scales, etc.)
Osteichthyes “bone” and “fish”
Bony Fish
At least some bone in their skeleton and/or scales.
·Operculum-Cover for the gill openings.
Some have lungs·
Lepidotrichia-slender bony rods or “rays”
Swim Bladders to adjust depth in the water. ·
Two classes:
Actinopterygians
Sarcopterygians
Actinopterygii “Ray-finned”
-dominant aquatic vertebrates since the mid-Paleozoic.
Fish Biologists
Chondrosteans
Holosteans
Teleosts
TWO DIVISIONS:
Palaeonisciformes
Neopterygii
Palaeonisciformes “primitive ray- finned fishes”
-Probably the earliest bony fishes.
-Includes living paddlefish,sturgeon and bichir (Africa)
-Marine and FW forms
-Characterized by...
heterocercal tail
The base of each scale was made of bone,the middle of dentin and the surface with an enamel-like substance called ganoine. Hence the name ganoid scales.
primitive forms with lungs to gulp air in oxygen-poor Devonian FW habitats
Neopterygii “advanced ray-finned fishes”
Replaced Palaeonisciformes as dominant fish group in early Mesozoic
Great range of morphologies and inhabit variety of habitats worldwide; trend toward invasion of SW habitats
Loss of ganoine scales and shortening of tail (homocercal tail)
Primitive living Neopterygians include gars and bowfins (former Holosteans)
Most recent group= Teleosts - 20,000 species; represent vast majority of living fishes
Sarcopterygii “fleshy-finned fish”
Second group of bony fishes
fins evolved into tetrapod limbs
Surviving sarcopterygian
lungfishes (dipnoans)-tropical streams
Coelacanths-e deep waters of the Indian Ocean
Choanae- external nostrils opening internally to the mouth through holes
Scale types of bony fishes
Fish tail types
Actinistia (Coelacanths)-first appeared in the Middle Devonian and survived into the Late Mesozoic
Latimeria- deep oceanic shelves of 100–400 meters
braincase - divided by a hingelike joint transversely across the top of the skull
vertebral centra – tiny
notochord is- prominent
swim bladder –doesn't serve in respiration but is filled with fat.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
3. Pteranodon
Pteranodon ((/tɪˈrænədɒn/; from Greek πτερόν (pteron, "wing") and ἀνόδων
(anodon, "toothless")) is a genus of pterosaur that included some of the
largest known flying reptiles, with wingspans over 7 meters (23 feet).
They lived during the late Cretaceous geological period of North
America in present-day Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South
Dakota.
More fossil specimens of Pteranodon have been found than any other
pterosaur, with about 1,200 specimens known to science, many of them well
preserved with nearly complete skulls and articulated skeletons.
It was an important part of the animal community in the Western Interior
Seaway.
Pteranodon was a pterosaur, meaning that it is not a dinosaur. By definition,
all dinosaurs belong to one of the two groups within Dinosauria,
i.e. Saurischia or Ornithischia.
As such, this excludes pterosaurs. Nonetheless, Pteranodon is frequently
featured in dinosaur media and are strongly associated with dinosaurs by the
general public.
While not dinosaurs, pterosaurs such as Pteranodon form a clade closely
related to dinosaurs as both fall within the clade Avemetatarsalia.
4. Pteranodon was the first pterosaur found outside of Europe. Its fossils first were
found by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1870, in the Late Cretaceous Smoky Hill
Chalk deposits of western Kansas.
These chalk beds were deposited at the bottom of what was once the Western
Interior Seaway, a large shallow sea over what now is the midsection of the North
American continent.
These first specimens, YPM 1160 and YPM 1161, consisted of partial wing bones,
as well as a tooth from the prehistoric fish Xiphactinus, which Marsh mistakenly
believed to belong to this new pterosaur (all known pterosaurs up to that point had
teeth).
In 1871, Marsh named the find "Pterodactylus oweni", assigning it to the well-
known (but much smaller) European genus Pterodactylus. Marsh also collected
more wing bones of the large pterosaur in 1871.
Realizing that the name he had chosen had already been used for Harry Seeley's
European pterosaur species Pterodactylus oweni in 1864, Marsh re-named his giant
North American pterosaur Pterodactylus occidentalis, meaning "Western wing
finger," in his 1872 description of the new specimen.
He also named two additional species, based on size differences: Pterodactylus
ingens (the largest specimen so far), and Pterodactylus velox (the smallest)
6. Archaeopteryx
Archaeopteryx (/ˌɑːrkiːˈɒptərɪks/ "old wing"),
sometimes referred to by its German
name, Urvogel ("original bird" or "first bird"), is
a genus of bird-like dinosaurs.
The name derives from the ancient
Greek ἀρχαῖος (archaīos), meaning "ancient",
and πτέρυξ (ptéryx), meaning "feather" or "wing".
Between the late 19th century and the early 21st
century, Archaeopteryx was generally accepted
by palaeontologists and popular reference books as the
oldest known bird (member of the group Avialae).
7. Archaeopteryx lived in the Late Jurassic around 150 million
years ago, in what is now southern Germany, and
also Portugal, during a time when Europe was an archipelago
of islands in a shallow warm tropical sea, much closer to
the equator than it is now.
The largest species of Archaeopteryx could grow to about
0.5 m (1 ft 8 in) in length. Despite their small size, broad
wings, and inferred ability to fly or glide.
Archaeopteryx had more in common with other
small Mesozoic dinosaurs than with modern birds.
In particular, they shared the following features with
the dromaeosaurids and troodontids: jaws with sharp teeth,
three fingers with claws, a long bony tail, hyperextensible
second toes ("killing claw"), feathers (which also
suggest warm-bloodedness), and various features of
the skeleton.
9. Ammonite
Their widely-known fossils show a ribbed spiral-form
shell, in the end compartment of which lived the
tentacled animal.
These creatures lived in the seas from at least 400 to 65
million years ago.
Their nearest living relatives are
the octopus, squid, cuttlefish and Nautilus.
Ammonites first appeared in the early Devonian period.
They evolved from a small, straight shelled Bactridian,
which was an early Nautiloid.
10. They quickly evolved into a variety of shapes and sizes,
including some shaped like hairpins. During their evolution the
ammonites faced no fewer than four catastrophic events that
would eventually lead to their extinction.
The first event occurred in the Upper Devonian, and the second
at the end of the Permian (250 million years ago), when only
two lines survived the P/Tr extinction event.
The surviving species radiated and flourished throughout
the Triassic period.
At the end of this period (206 million years ago) they faced
near extinction again, when only one genus survived.
This event marked the end of the Triassic and the beginning of
the Jurassic, during which time the number of ammonite
species grew once more.
The final catastrophe occurred at the end of
the Cretaceous period when all species were annihilated and
the ammonites became extinct.
12. The evolution of fish began about 530 million years ago
during the Cambrian explosion.
It was during this time that the early chordates developed
the skull and the vertebral column, leading to the
first craniates and vertebrates.
The first fish lineages belong to the Agnatha, or jawless
fish. Early examples include Haikouichthys.
During the late Cambrian, eel-like jawless fish called
the conodonts, and small mostly armoured fish known
as ostracoderms, first appeared.
Most jawless fish are now extinct; but the
extant lampreys may approximate ancient pre-jawed fish.
13. The earliest jawed vertebrates probably developed during
the late Ordovician period.
During the Devonian period a great increase in fish variety
occurred, especially among the ostracoderms and
placoderms, and also among the lobe-finned fish and early
sharks. This has led to the Devonian being known as
the age of fishes.
15. Physa is a genus of small, left-handed or sinistral, air-
breathing freshwater
snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the
family Physidae.
hese small snails, like all the species in the family
Physidae, have shells that are sinistral, which means that
when the shell is held with the spire pointing up and the
aperture facing the viewer, then the aperture is on the left-
hand side.
The shells of Physa species have a long and
large aperture, a pointed spire, and no operculum. The
shells are thin and corneous, and rather transparent.
17. This genus is very ancient. It is known in the fossil
records from the Permian to the Quaternary (age
range: from 259 to 0.0 million years ago).
Fossil shells of these molluscs can be found all over
the world. Genus Ostrea includes about 150 extinct
species.
Shell subovate, plicated, folds very irregular, superior
valve flat; disks with short irregular impressed lines;
cardinal area large; cartilage groove oblique, not
deeply impressed; muscular impression very long and
obliquely sublunate.
