Halloween originated 2000 years ago among Celtic pagans in Ireland, England, and France. They celebrated Samhain on October 31st, when spirits of the dead were believed to return to Earth. People wore costumes to avoid being recognized as spirits. As Christianity spread, the holiday was changed to All Saints' Day on November 1st. Over time, traditions like wearing costumes and trick-or-treating developed. Irish immigrants brought Halloween to America in the 1800s, where it became popular among children going door-to-door for candy using pumpkins as jack-o-lanterns.

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.

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.

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.
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.
2. Origins
Halloween began two thousand years ago
in Ireland, England, and Northern France
with the ancient religion of the Celts
(Paganism).
3. They celebrated their New Year on
November 1st.
This day marked the beginning of the
dark, cold winter, a time of year that was
often associated with human death.
4. Samhain (sow-in)
On the night of October 31, they
celebrated Samhain, when it was believed
that the ghosts of the dead returned to
earth.
6. So they wore costumes.
This way, the ghosts couldn’t recognize
them!
7. The Christian Influence
As the influence of Christianity spread
into Celtic lands, in the 7th century, Pope
Boniface IV introduced All Saints' Day, a
time to honor saints and martyrs, to
replace the Pagan festival of Samhain. It
was observed on May 13th.
8. A change of date
In 834, Pope Gregory III moved All
Saint's Day from May 13th to Nov. 1st. Oct.
31st thus became All Hallows' Eve
('hallow' means 'saint').
9. All Souls Day
November 2nd, called All Souls Day, is the
day set apart in the Roman Catholic
Church for the commemoration of the
dead.
10. Trick-or-treating began with the poor in the
15 th century…
During the All Souls Day festival in England,
poor people would beg for “soul cakes,” made
out of square pieces of bread with currants
Families would give soul cakes in return for a
promise to pray for the family’s relatives
11. then children…
The practice, which
was referred to as
"going a-souling" was
eventually taken up
by children who
would visit the houses
in their
neighborhood and be
given ale, food, and
money.
12. Today:
Children still go from house-to-house,
but instead of ale, food, and money, they
get candy.
13. With Irish Immigration…
In 1848, millions of Irish emigrants
poured into America as a result of the
potato famine. They brought with them
their traditions of Halloween.
14. Halloween came to America.
They called Halloween Oidche Shamhna
(`Night of Samhain'), as their ancestors
had, and kept the traditional
observances.
15. The Jack-O-Lantern
The Irish used to carry turnips with
candles in them to light their way at night
and to scare away ghosts..
16. When they arrived in America they found
that pumpkins were both plentiful and easier to carve than turnips.
