This document summarizes several poisonous plants, including their key characteristics and effects of ingestion. It describes the Rosary pea plant, which contains abrin toxin that can be fatal even in small amounts. Deadly nightshade contains atropine and can cause dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, and potentially fatal convulsions. The castor bean plant contains ricin toxin in its seeds and leaves, which can be deadly if enough is ingested.

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.

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”.

2. POISONOUS PLANTS
Many plants have chemicals in them which help them from being eaten. These chemicals can cause stomach upset, skin
reactions, burning eyes, or even death if eaten or touched by animals and humans, especially children and these can
be harmful or fatal to an organism or any plant capable evoking a toxic and/or fatal reaction.

plant in the bean family Fabaceae. It is a slender, perennial climber with long, pinnate-leafleted
leaves that twines around trees, shrubs, and hedges. The plant is best known for its seeds, which
are used as beads and in percussion instruments, and which are toxic because of the presence of
abrin. Ingestion of a single seed, well chewed, can be fatal to both adults and children. The plant is
native to Asia and Australia. It has a tendency to become weedy and invasive where it has been
first introduced in AbrinThe median toxic dose for humans ranges from 10 to 1000 micrograms per
kilogram when it ingested and is 3.3 micrograms per kilogram will inhaled.
4. DEADLY NIGHTSHADE

7. DIEFFENBACHIA
Dieffenbachia is also called as Dumb cane.
Dieffenbachia is a genus of tropical flowering
plants in the family Araceae. It is native to the
New World Tropics from Mexico and the West
Indies south to Argentina. Some species are
widely cultivated as ornamental plants,
especially as houseplants, and have become
naturalized on a few tropical islands. If a leaf is
chewed, these crystals can cause a temporary
burning sensation and then numbing of the
tongue, which gave the plants their common
name, dumb cane. However, despite the bad
publicity they are getting, no one is known to
have actually died from accidentally ingesting
the plant.
8. OLEANDER
Oleander is a dense, fast-growing evergreen shrub that has been growing since ancient times and
is native to North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean regions. Oleander, however, is toxic to
humans and pets, every part of it, and the outcome of ingesting even a small amount of it can be
dire.
Are oleanders poisonous to touch? Symptoms: Poisoning as a result of eating an oleander plant
can cause severe digestive problems, seizures, comas and even death. Additionally, those that
touch the leaves on an oleander plant may experience skin irritation.
While the shrub is beautiful and sounds like a gardener's dream, it's also deadly: Ingesting a
single leaf can kill an adult. Due to the plant's extreme toxicity, oleander may not be a suitable
shrub for households with small children or pets, and the risk may be too great even in an adults-
only home. Ingestion of oleander results in diarrhea, vomiting, intense stomach pain, drowsiness,
dizziness, an irregular heartbeat, and often, death. If the victim survives the initial 24 hours after
ingestion, his or her odds of surviving increase dramatically.
9. FOXGLOVE
Foxglove is also called digitalis, this beautiful plant has been
used for the extraction of medicines for the heart, like digoxin.
Foxglove is an attractive plant that grows throughout the
United States. It grows in the wild and is cultivated in private
gardens for its beauty. Its bell-shaped flowers are usually
bright purple but can sometimes be white, cream yellow, pink,
or rose and generally bloom in the spring. Itis a genus of about
20 species of herbaceous perennials, shrubs, and biennials
commonly called foxgloves.
Is Foxglove poisonous to touch? Toxicity and symptoms -Take
care when handling this plant. All parts of it can cause allergic
reactions, but the berries are particularly poisonous. The plant
contains minute needle-shaped crystals which can severely
irritate the skin. For Digitalis, the same cardiac glycosides
which strengthen the heart beat and saves a life are the
chemicals which can cause death, the epitome of the maxim
“the dose makes the poison”. The Herbarium has a number of
specimens of the two Digitalis species most common in the UK,
D. purpurea and D.
