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”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Principles of Art as Applied to an Original Performance
1. Rhythm, Movement. This principle guides the directors and other production staff of the play on the proper use of
music and movement. These elements should contribute in setting the mood and tone of the play and the scenes.
2. Balance. This principle guides the director on how to achieve the proper balance and composition in terms of stage
blockings, props, backdrops, costume and set design/set pieces. This will also guide the production staff in setting the
right perspective of the play.
3. Emphasis. This principle guides the director on which part of the play should be emphasized This will help in
communicating to the audience the theme of the play.
4. Harmony, Unity and Variety. These principles guide the director on how to put the elements of arts like set design,
costumes, spectacle, etc. in harmony. These elements should complement each other and also have variation to
create a spectacular visual impact on the play.
5. Proportion. This principle guides the director as to how to make the play more realistic or stylized through proper use
of space, height, width and sizes of the elements or materials to be used in the play.
Role of a Character as an Actor/Performer, or Production staff
PRODUCER One of the main roles of a producer is to oversee the overall aspects of the production. He or she is responsible
to the financial and managerial functions of the production. The producer provides financial backing to the production or
invites investors to pour in financing, and hires the creative staffs like the director, writers, choreographer, and composer.
Though the casting of actors is a job for the director, a producer has the power of casting approval. A producer acts like a
bridge to connect financing or business in the realization of the playwright’s vision.
Themes
and
Elements
of
Art
Applied
to
Performance
DIRECTOR The director provides the overall vision and guidance of a performance, ensuring that
all elements are unified, and that production runs smoothly. The director works closely with the
design and production teams and sometimes with the playwright to hone the vision and define
the production schedule. He or she ensures that all elements are executed perfectly and that
everyone in the production are in tune with his/her artistic vision to create a great impact in the
audience.
PLAYWRIGHT The playwright develops the concepts and puts them into script plays. The script
forms the basis of the entire production. It contains the narrative through dialogues, and it may
also have the description of settings, sounds, mood, lights, costumes, and makeup of the
characters.
PRODUCTION MANAGER The production manager is tasked in overseeing the crews for the sets
and props, the sound and music, the lighting, and the costumes. He or she manages the behind-
the-scenes of the production.
SET DESIGNER He/she designs and supervises the construction of the set (or sets) that will be the
physical world of the play’s characters. The set and set pieces may be realistic, but it can be done
in other styles such as minimalism or whimsical. The set designer may use a variety of materials
like backdrops, theater flats, curtains/drapes, or LED screens. The set designer must work with
the director to note the flow of action to create a suitable ground plan for the actors to move
around in.
LIGHTING DESIGNER As a lighting designer, he/she uses colored lights or filters, as well as special
effects such as increasing or lowering the brightness of light, creating flickering effects, and
synchs them to create the mood and atmosphere. The lighting designer plans all these and adds
detailed notes on the script for the lighting crew to follow during rehearsals and the actual
performance.
COSTUME DESIGNER The task of a costume designer is to create the actors’ costumes or outfits
that are suitable to their characters. The costume designer looks into the time and setting of the
script to make the look of the characters more believable. He or she also takes consideration the
personality of each character to achieve authenticity in the delivery of script. The costumes
maybe sewn, hand-made, or assembled to create the characters’ depiction in the script.
SOUND DESIGNER Like the lighting designer, a sound designer serves a vital role in creating and
enhancing the atmosphere of the performance. He or she is responsible in incorporating sound
effects to create the right balance of sound, the tempo, and overall effect of the production.
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR The technical director oversees all the instructions relating to lighting and
sounds. During the technical rehearsals, the technical director notes all the cues, errors, and
other issues to iron them out before the actual production.
STAGE MANAGER The stage manager oversees all the director’s instructions- from costumes to
make up, and from set to the actors and actresses. Also, the stage manager notes all the
director’s instructions in his/her script so that in the absence of the director, he/she can
supervise the rehearsals. He/she also checks the attendance and punctuality of the actors.
CHOREOGRAPHER The choreographer is responsible with the dance steps that are suitable for
the dance numbers of the production. In case there are fight scenes, he or she will choreograph
the scenes in accordance with the director’s vision and ensure safety for the actors and
actresses.
MAKEUP DESIGNER The makeup designer works closely with the costume designer to achieve a
suitable look. The makeup designer makes the actors look real and believable based on their
emotions, age, personality as well as the time and place of the events of the play. In some cases,
a makeup designer may use prosthetics, wigs, masks, and other accessories to alter and suit the
character’s role.
Visual Components of Stage Play
LIGHTING DESIGN The lighting design is as important as the stage settings since it contributes to the
overall mood of the performance.
COSTUME DESIGN The costume used by the performers helps convey meanings, time periods and
historical context. It shows vital scenes and the relationship between people, showing, a particular
period, weather, or location of the scene; revealing the characters portrayed by the performers.
PROPERTIES/PROPS The properties of a play include the stage props and hand props that are used as
part of the scene setting. The stage props may include jar, lampshades, furniture, pictures, chairs, and
tables, and many more. Hand props, on the other hand, include ballpen, glasses, cup, pencils,
cigarettes, and others. Properties are essential to convey a scene’s objectives and to aid the actors in
communicating a scene.
