A geographic information system (GIS) allows users to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage and display spatial or geographical data. GIS integrates hardware, software and data to visualize relationships within mapped information. Key components include hardware, GIS software, data and people. There are two main data types - raster, which stores cell-based data like images, and vector, which represents discrete features using points, lines and polygons. GIS has evolved significantly since the 1960s and is now widely used across various fields and applications.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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”.

1. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS)
Introduction
Geographic information (i.e.., land information, spatial information) is information that can be
associated with a place name, a street address, section/township, a zip code, or coordinates of
latitude and longitude. A multitude of government functions require geographic information;
at least 70 percent of all information used by local governments is geographically referenced.
For example, property records and assessment, planning and zoning, permit tracking, natural
resource management, infrastructure and transportation management, economic development
planning, and health and public safety. All of these applications consider the location of certain
features on the landscape in relation to other features. For instance, in assessment, the location
of soil types relative to property parcels is considered, whereas in planning and zoning, the
location of animal confinement facilities relative to residential areas might be relevant. A
geographic information system (GIS) allows the user to examine and visualize these
relationships.
Defining GIS
A “geographic information system” (GIS) is a computer system that allows you to capture,
store, manipulate, analyze, manage and display all kinds of spatial or geographical data. GIS
application are tools that allow end users to perform spatial query, analysis, edit spatial data
and create hard copy maps. In simple way GIS can be define as an image that is referenced to
the earth or has x and y coordinate and its attribute values are stored in the table. These x and
y coordinates are based on different projection system and there are various types of projection
system. Most of the time GIS is used to create maps and to print. To perform the basic task in
GIS, layers are combined, edited and designed.
How GIS Works
Visualizing Data: The geographic data that is stored in the databases are displayed in the
GIS software.
Combining Data: Layers are combined to form a map of desire.
The Query: To search the value in the layer or making a geographic query.
Advantage of GIS
Better decision made by government people
Improve decision making with the help of layered information
Citizen engagement due to better system
Help to identify communities that is under risk or lacking infrastructure
Helps in identifying criminology matters
Better management of natural resources
Better communication during emergency situation
Cost savings due to better decision
Finding different kinds of trends within the community
Planning the demographic changes
2. History of GIS
Modern GIS has seen series of development. GIS has evolved with the computer system. Here
are the brief events that has happened for the development of the GIS system.
Year 1854 – The term
GIS that used scientific
method to create maps
was used by John Snow in
1854. He used points on
London residential map to
plot outbreak of Cholera.
Year 1960 – Modern
computerized GIS system
began in year 1960.
Year 1962 – Dr. Roger
Tomlinson created and
developed Canadian Geographic Information System (CGIS) to store, analyze and manipulate
data that was collected for the Canada Land Inventory (CLI). This software had the capacity to
overlay, measurement and digitizing (converting scan hardcopy map to digital data). It is never
provided in commercial format but Dr. Tomlinson is the father of GIS.
Year 1980 – This period saw rise of commercial GIS software’s like M&S Computing,
Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) and Computer Aided Resource Information
System (CARIS). This all software was similar to CGIS with more functionality and user-
friendliness. Among all the above the most popular today is ESRI products like ArcGIS,
ArcView which hold almost 80 % of global market.
Component of GIS
Hardware: Hardware is the physical component of the computer and GIS runs on it. Hardware
may be hard disk, processor, motherboard and so on. All these hardware work together to
function as a computer. GIS software run on this hardware. Computer can be standalone called
desktop or server based. GIS can run on both of them.
Software
GIS Software provides tools and functions to input and store spatial data or geographic data. It
provides tool to perform geographic query, run analysis model and display geographic data in
the map form. GIS software uses Relation Database Management System (RDBMS) to store
the geographic data. Software talks with the database to perform geographic query.
Data
Data are the fuel for the GIS and the most important and expensive component. Geographic
data are the combination of physical features and its information which is stored in the tables.
These tables are maintained by the RDBMS. The process of capturing the geographic data are
3. called digitization which is the most tedious job. It is the process of converting scanned
hardcopy maps into the digital format. Digitization is done by tracing the lines along the
geographic features for example to capture a building you will trace around the building on the
image.
People
People are the user of the GIS system. People use all above three components to run a GIS
system. Today’s computer is fast and user friendly which makes it easy to perform geographic
queries, analysis and displaying maps. Today everybody uses GIS to perform their daily job.
Types of GIS Data
Raster Data: Raster data store information of features in cell-based manner. Satellite images,
photogrammetry and scanned maps are all raster-based data. Raster model are used to store
data which varies continuously as in aerial photography, a satellite image or elevation values
(DEM- Digital Elevation Model).
Vector Data
There are three types of vector data, points, lines and polygons. These data are created by
digitizing the base data. They store information in x, y coordinates. Vectors models are used to
store data which have discrete boundaries like country borders, land parcels and roads.
Advantage and Disadvantage of using raster and vector Data
Raster data model record value of all the points of the area covered which required more data
storage than model represented by the vector model.
Raster data is less expensive to create computationally compare to vector graphics.
Raster data has issue while overlaying multiple images.
Vector data are easily overlaid, for example overlaying roads, rivers, land use are easier
than raster data.
Vector data are easier to scale, re-project or register.
Vector data are more compatible with the relational database management system.
Vector file sizes are way smaller than raster image file sizes.
Raster Formats
ADRG – ARC Digitized Raster Graphics
RPF – Raster Product Format, military etc.
Vector Formats
AutoCAD DXF –AutoCAD DXF format by Autodesk
Cartesian coordinate system (XYZ) – simple point cloud etc.
