Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries called atherosclerosis. Risk factors include high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. The document recommends maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, exercising regularly, not smoking, monitoring cholesterol and other health numbers, and taking medication as prescribed to prevent heart disease. Making lifestyle changes can significantly reduce risk even for those with a family history or existing conditions.

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.

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. What is Heart Disease?
What is Heart Disease?
• Heart
Heart : The most hard-working muscle of
our body – pumps 4-5 liters of blood every
minute during rest
• Supplies nutrients and oxygen rich blood to
all body parts, including itself
• Coronary arteries
surrounding the heart
keep it nourished with
blood
3. What is Atherosclerosis

walls. The artery becomes narrow. This is atherosclerosis
• When this occurs in the coronary arteries, heart does not get
sufficient blood, the condition is called coronary artery disease,
or coronary heart disease

• Everybody needs cholesterol, it serves
a vital function in the body.
• It circulates in the blood.

can deposit in the
arteries in the form of
plaque and block them
• No symptoms till heart

12. Good vs. BAD Cholesterol
Good vs. BAD Cholesterol
• LDL cholesterol is known as bad
cholesterol. It has a tendency to
increase risk of heart disease
• LDL cholesterol is a major component
of the plaque that clogs arteries
• HDL cholesterol is known as the good
cholesterol. Higher in women,
increases with exercise
• HDL cholesterol helps carry some of
the bad cholesterol out of arteries.
13. Obesity
Obesity
• People who are overweight (10-30 % more
than their normal body weight)
• Obese have 2 to 6 times the risk of
developing heart disease
• Normal Waist-Hip Ratio
< 0.85 for women;
< 0.95 for men
• Pears or apples?
14. Pears and Apples
Pears and Apples
Apple-shaped paunch store body fat
around the abdomen and chest,
surrounding internal organs
Pear-shaped paunch store fat on the
hips and thighs, just below the surface of
the skin.
Apple- shaped are at a higher risk
Apple- shaped are at a higher risk
18. Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol Consumption
• In small amounts it is beneficial: 1-2
drinks
• In large amounts it adds fat and
calories & raises BP!
• 4 drinks per day. You end up with
gastroenterologist instead of
cardiologist
• This is a very fine line! Finer for
women as they are at higher risk
19. Diabetes
Diabetes
• At any given cholesterol level, diabetic
persons have a 2 or 3 x higher risk of heart
attack or stroke
• A diabetic is more likely to die of a heart
attack than a non-diabetic
• ~80% Diabetics die from heart disease
• Risk of sudden death from a heart attack
for a diabetic is the same as that of
someone who has already had a heart
attack.
20. ➨Risk operates across a continuum - no clear-cut line
(Blood Pressure; Cholesterol; overweight; Smoking)
➨The risk is multiplicative when many risk factors co-
exist; risk factors often cluster together
➨Majority of events arise in individuals with modest
elevations of many risk factors than from marked
elevation of a single risk factor
